WE had ordered salads and entrees to share and they all came at the same time.

- MMillieChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 22, 2025We came for a birthday and everything was top-notch! The food was amazing!! Few of us had the AMP Burger and others had a steak or branzino. They surprised the birthday girl with a chocolate cake and candle and it all felt so special. Great service, food and experience.More infoAll Meal Prep Kitchen & CafePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Edgewater•4.1
- CChuckChicago / Illinois •28 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 9, 2025We had a 6:30pm reservation, and we arrived early. We were seated promptly upon arrival. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but our server came to our table very soon after we were seated… I had commented on the last time we dined at the restaurant, and the service today was by far more superior and attentive (note, the owner of Bluestone offered us a gift coupon for the lack of service attentiveness last time, which we appreciated). The server came to the table numerous times to ask for our drink and food choices, and the delivery was quick once we ordered. The smoked chicken wings were delicious. I had the brown rice bowl with the salmon which was delicious, and everyone else’s meals were prepared nicely and were very tasty. All in all, a nice experience this evening.More infoBluestonePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Evanston•4.5
