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.

About the restaurant
Von Bismarck is a modern family style restaurant inspired by the traditions off Eastern and Northern Europe with a focus on low intervention wine and traditional beer styles. Von Bismarck aims to focus the best of the old world through a modern lens and present it in an atmosphere of conviviality and generosity. We believe communal seating and family style presentation are conducive to this end. Sharing a meal, whether with those you love or complete strangers is essential to the human experience and all of us here at Von Bismarck hope to help you on that journey.

I was excited to take my German mom here for her 90th Birthday dinner...We were given our choice of party tables at which to sit . The print on the paper food and beer menus was really small and hard to make out, but once we passed around a pair of readers, we were pleased to see a wide variety of dining options. The server was friendly and was aware of the menu items but could not offer us any more information. The entrees came out soon and were tasty; however, the sides were minimal and there was no bread offered with the meal. On the whole, we enjoyed ourselves and will probably come back to.sample some new selections off their paper menus.

Food was amazing, perfectly priced as well. Our waitress was so kind, and our seat was just perfect. Meal proportions were a lot more than I was expecting, and the taste of everything we ordered was to die for

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.

We tried Sparks Water Bar for lunch and the food was great! We also sat at a table by the window, which has a nice view looking out on the water. For lunch, it is a little pricey, but sometimes some really great food and a nice view are worth the splurge.

Very lovely restaurant and great food. Service was awesome. Validating parking is a major plus. Complimentary glass of Prosecco was a nice touch. The only down side was that the music was loud so people talking was loud. I think all restaurants do that now. We will be back.
