Everything we ordered was delicious: warm beet salad, maple-glazed salmon, and daily pasta special. One of our go-to spots.

About the restaurant

At the Twisted Fork we take the traditional and give it a "twist". Eclectic dishes composed with unmatched creativity and flavor served in a casual setting. Fun and funky wines, beers and cocktails are the perfect complement to our Chef’s unique talents. Click on our website link to see the menu. We are a big place but we fill up fast, reserve today and we will save you a seat!

Notating a booth or patio seating for your reservation is a request and can not be guaranteed. We will do our absolute best to accommodate. Our seating of parties are solely based on availability.

About the restaurant

Mangia Tutto features both Chicago “Deep Dish,” the perceived Chicago-style pizza; as well as, thin crust square cut “Tavern Style” pizza. As native Chicagoans we will tell you while we relished the occasional “Deep Dish” pizza, they were often only enjoyed on special occasions. The thin crust pie is the true “Chicago Pizza” readily available in any Chicago neighborhood.

David’s grill is the best! Many of us go there frequently for breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, dinners or spontaneous occasions. The staff and servers are always great and the food is good, too. It’s a great local sitdown restaurant with great atmosphere and people.

I this was our first time visiting this restaurant. We shared a flight of craft beer which was really nice. We got to choose which six we wanted to try. My husband had the Porchetta sandwich and I had the fish, shrimp,and chips. The Porchetta sandwich was definitely one to try!!! The breading on the fish and shrimp was a little too thick and soggy for my liking. We definitely would like to go back though and try another dish. And we really enjoyed the ambience.

About the restaurant

For years, Paolo and Teresa Gaspari honored their Italian roots by bringing people together to enjoy good food, great wine and the company of friends and family. In 2019, John Ekizian took the reins and remains excited to continue the tradition of La Famiglia. The simplicity and perfection of fresh ingredients is the root of every meal we prepare here at La Famiglia, and all of our dishes pair beautifully with our vast collection of fine wines. From our pasta to our sauces, even to our freshly-squeezed lemon juice, we start from scratch. One bite, and you’ll understand the difference that handmade truly makes. Our courteous and attentive wait staff is ready to welcome you. Whether you’re joining us for a special night out, a family gathering or simply because you’re craving a delicious Italian meal, we hope you’ll spend it with La Famiglia.

The Nuggets Oyster Bar has always been one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service are both excellently, friendly and profession. The ambience has always been something I enjoy as I love nautical themes. Also Open table is the only way to go, very easy and efficient.
