OpenTable Diner - 02/20/2019

Valentine's day was my first experience dining at Rollapalooza. While the restaurant is very small, they were extremely organized and efficient in the reservations, as no one waited longer than a minute or two for their table. The only thing that makes this less than 100% rating, is how close together the tables were, you have to be comfortable with tighter spaces and sitting close enough to the next couple that you could take a bite of their food BUT the quality and the VALUE of the meal was amazing. The rolls were absolutely dynamite (highly recommend the Anne and the Turtle if you like spicy rolls), and the prices were very competitive. We also didn't have a corking fee for the BYOB wine, which is always appreciated. The restaurant was decorated in cute hearts and valentine's day theme, and we received chocolates from our waitress with the bill for the holiday. Great restaurant and absolutely will be back! More

We went for restaurant week and each of the 3 courses were a good value. We started with the baked brie (a small round) and mussels. The second course we picked the salmon and the surf and turf. They were both good portions including well-cooked asparagus and potatoes. Chocolate volcano cake and bananas foster were good desert choices. More

Yellowtail has been mine and my partners’ favorite sushi place in all of Chicago. They’re byob which puts them above the rest. Their service really tops every other sushi place we’ve been to and their fish is SO GOOD. More

I like this place a lot. Cheese and wine are phenomenal, and the wine is reasonably priced for excellent quality. Hostess and servers went out of their way for us several times. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/16/2019

Going to Anna Maria's is a Valentine's day tradition of some 20+ years for my husband and me. The food has remained consistently wonderful through all the years. We particularly love the linguini with sea food,and the veal marsala, but everthing is of the same high quality. The vibe is friendly and warm. Service is always excptional. More

Great service by Carlos. He managed to hit that sweet spot where he was attentive yet still gave us privacy. Food was delicious and quick. What else can you ask for. More

I have been going to BITES for a year or two and I've never been disappointed. However, since they did the remodel, I don't know if the food quality is there anymore. We got sushi when we went but it definitely was just average sushi. I don't know if it was $15 a roll worth it. We ordered a $20 sangria pitcher during happy hour and it was incredibly water-y. I guess that's to be expected for happy hour. The ambiance for this place and their small bites never disappoint. I don't know if I would spend as much on the sushi never time though. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/12/2019

Everything was great except the spicy scallops and spicy salmon tasted the same. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/09/2019

Want with hubby for Valentine’s Day. In addition to regular menu, they had a four course VD special including a specialty cocktail for less than $40@. A lot of comments were negative about service, but we had great service from moment we arrived until we left, full and very happy for the experience. Music level was perfect as well. All in all a great dinner and VD experience and we can’t wait to return, More

Mia Francesca is one of our longtime favorites. We had a Valentine's reservation and only waited a few minutes. Food is always excellent. Our server dropped the ball a few times (where's my wine?), but the young busboy was outstanding. More

Our favorite brunch spot when we are visiting Chicago. We'll go out of our way to visit Uncommon Ground if we can. Love the food, atmosphere, drinks, coffees, you name it! More

OpenTable Diner - 02/13/2019

One of the best restaurant meals I have had in a long time. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and the food is out of this world. Try the Brussels Sprouts or the "Sweet and Hot" flatbread. Yummy. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/14/2019

Great experience and the food was awesome. My only complaint would be if you charge for additional table bread, make it clear. We spent a lot of $$$ to get nickel and dime'd for an extra piece of bread. More

Several Wednesdays per month you can enjoy Cabaret-style entertainment served up by a number of well-known or up-and-coming singers along with your food and drinks. The service is above and beyond pleasant, efficient, attentive and accommodating. Bartender mixes up generous cocktails and the menu has an extensive variety of Appetizers, Entres and more. NO COVER! More

OpenTable Diner - 02/13/2019

Ukai Sushi was phenomenal! Prices were reasonable and the service was great. The Chicago sports teams rolls were the BEST. Will be back there soon! (It's also BYOB so take advantage of that!!) More

OpenTable Diner - 02/13/2019

Delicious, fresh, tasty, huge portions, and reasonable price. I would suggest the lights could be less bright to give it a warm ambience. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/01/2019

Cute little hotpot place with friendly service. It feels like a family-run place. The food was fresh and plentiful! We received a lot of meat with our order. They don't skimp! The broth was delicious. The only reason why I took off one star is that I think the fish balls we ate had MSG. My husband has a sensitivity and got a headache that night. More

OpenTable Diner - 02/04/2019

It's a quite laid back place..Nothing unusual when you first see it. But the food makes up for everythign else. Sea weed salad was delicious and so was salmon sashimi. Good for lunch or when you have that sushi craving !!! Will go back :) More
