Second visit. Excellent thanks to Adam our server who helped the wife through wine selection. Food was as good as first time. Charcuterie samplings we’re a bit sparse in quantity but we’re good in taste. Birthday (wife) crème brûlée topped off the evening aided by Frangellico on the rocks. This venue will become one of my regulars

Casual lunch with friends and family on Labor Day.. chose this place as it was recommended on Open Table.. didn’t go wrong. Food was fantastic, service was great and parking was easy (free street parking). Falafel and zucchini fitters were authentic and fresh. The vegetarian dishes (Priest fainted! Is the name of the dish two of us ordered) and the Turkish delight were packed with flavors. Our guests ordered lemon chicken, branzino and Turkish pizza and they loved it. Overall a great experience and I would visit again!

This place knows how to delight their customers. Upon arrival we got a small pottery coffee cup full of delicious bean and bacon soup to "wake up our appetites." The servers were attentive, gracious, and knowledgeable. The special empanadas were flakey and super flavorful. The zucchini was flavored with chili sauce and mint and then topped with crispy fried shallots, which are addictive. The shrimp and blue corn polenta were plate-licking good and ALMOST stole the show.....but then we splurged on the guava jelly cheesecake and had our happy little minds blown. Libertad is just awesome. Even the hand lotion in the bathroom was scented perfectly! Just go.

My fifth time at Eden and I think the food keeps getting better. The esmee salad, meatballs, burrata, gnocchi and sea bream were all excellent. Finding out what’s the bread of the day is always a fun surprise, and the frosé remains a favorite (although a first taste of the frozen espresso martini was game changing - going to get that with desert from now on!). And the coconut sorbet was the perfect silky, soft flavor to end a night of eating. The staff is always amazing, full of great personalities who remember you and make sure to say hi when they see you come in. We even watched our server handle a table that seemed to arrive already unfriendly and disgruntled and he charmed and took care of them in a way that impressed us. Great people, great food that’s always changing. Always worth the return trip.

We came for lunch and we initially were the only party there with only one other group coming in after us. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. It was quiet, clean, well spaced out, and easy to find. The menu is slightly limited so it's not likely a place once would visit often due to lack of choices. Prices were reasonable for about half of the items, the rest I felt was on the expensive side. That being said, the food was delicious as was agreed by our whole party. I only knocked down the value a bit because I thought it was petty to charge for a side of ranch which I asked for my fries. I was not informed there either be a charge and I just think it's ridiculous to charge for something like that. I did feel that it seemed to take a while to get our food after ordering considering we were the only ones there, so I would just throw caution if it would be more busy on what that impact may be but I can't speak from experience since this was my first visit.

When we arrived I was sure it was an error u til we drove around where I thought a lad ind dock would be located. Many of the dishes I had never heard of and we eat Indian food regularly. I would recommend mild or medium spice level. I thought the medium was perfect. A good burn while being able to taste the other spices as well. It’s a large place, beautifully decorated. I am only sorry I didn’t try this place earlier

By far the best in this area. I do recommend not sitting in the table closest to the kitchen. While you couldn’t see what was going on behind the half wall of wine boxes - you could hear every word of the hectic kitchen which sort of was a distraction from an otherwise romantic environment.

we were served quickly and the waitress was very friendly and informational. the reason I couldn't give 5 stars was because when it came time for dessert. we waited 30 mins before telling the waitress to cancel it - she told us it was in the window and she would bring Togo boxes . we waited another 8 mins before someone brought it - then we had to wait for the the Togo container's and then had to ask for the check. we were so full and waited so long I didn't even want the dessert anymore .

This was the second time I’ve gone for the pork tops vieja bowl and they’ve been out of pork and Ingredients for it and that’s specifically why I’ve gone there, i love that dish! But they did make something similar using chicken and a different sauce which was good as well, just disappointing 2 times in a row I couldn’t get it. I took out of town friends for their first time and they were happy with their experience and we all love the Brussel sprout appetizer!

I love mahalls! It's soo many places and thing at once and it's Vibes, ambience and aesthetic is just perfect for my likes, interest and I just love it. This was my 1st time attending their brunch and they're service was great, could use a bit of signage to clarify where brunch check in is and with who because it was a bit confusing as a new brunch customer. The menu had many vegan alternatives to menu options, but when asked about them, most of them were out of stock and only one vegan option was gluten free, which I think should be improved upon due to being more accommodating to strict dietary restrictions and/or intolerances and allergens. Overall food was delicious, servers were knowledgeable and very willing to help and make the best of the customer's experience. The overheard music was a bit loud to have conversation and when making the reservation through open table it didn't give the option to select which table is preferred such as window booth or window table...etc. Other than that, it's absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.

They were extremely kind, helpful, and informative. I felt like I was truly cared for during my experience. We sat at the patio which I highly recommend. It was a beautiful view/ambiance. I got the brick steak and my boyfriend got the crab cake. We both highly recommend those entrees!! Thank you ‘Plas for making our moment extra memorable and special.

The restaurant was very clean with a professional/smart vibe. I had a fish and a shrimp Taco and both were excellent. Neither had dripping sauces and they were easily eaten without having to fight with my food. My wife had the skirt steak with a side of rice and a side of beans. The roasted jalapeño added so much to this dish, I'm getting it next time. I had a Sauvignon blanc from South America and my wife had a margarita. My wine really complimented my seafood tacos and Teresa said the margarita was excellent. I forget the name of our server, but she was so attentive and in a good mood I wish I'd written her name down.

The best part is that you can get your Spotted Cow super close to home if you live in Illinois. You must check out this bar and the eclectic farm stand attached…you’ll love it!
