Lovitt
1466 N. Ashland Ave. 773-252-1466
“Our food was great (the vegan fettuccine alfredo and heirloom tomato salad were both especially good), the prices were very reasonable, and the chef came out to speak with us and asked how our meal was. Service was great.”

Technicolor
3210 N. Lincoln Ave. 773-665-2111
“I’ve been to this joint twice and it was the same both times. Before 9 p.m. expect great service, sexy waitstaff, great food and strong drinks. After 9:30 p.m., you can expect all that, plus a really diverse, friendly and hip crowd. It could only get better if they filled the place with melted butter and made clothes optional.”

Savor
358 W. Ontario St., Suite 1B, 312-944-3586
“I really enjoyed my recent dining experience at Savor. The food was very good. My wife’s meat dish was overcooked, but the waiter noticed before we did and the kitchen fixed the mistake quickly. The staff at Savor is very nice.”

Monsoon
2813 N. Broadway. 773-665-9463
“From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated like a prodigal son returned home. The staff is amazing! Knowledgeable, polite and very charming, they really made the evening perfect for my wife and me. Combine that with the romantic atmosphere and the unbeatable food and you find yourself in heaven. Make sure you try the lobster.”

Black Duck Tavern and Grille
1800 N. Halsted St. 312-664-1801
“I expected a snobby crowd and an inflated menu. What I found was an attentive bartender, Joe, who poured the most generous drinks in all of Chicago, along with delicious food and gracious waitstaff. John, the manager, frequents the tables to ensure complete satisfaction. I have been to the best restaurants in Chicago, New York, etc., and find the service at Black Duck to be incomparable.”

Francesca’s on Taylor
1400 W. Taylor St. 312-829-2828
“Our food was very good. We were treated wonderfully by the entire staff, but had an especially great server. She was friendly, had an award-winning smile and was quite willing to help with the selection of food and wine. We cannot wait to go back!”

Jake Melnick’s
41 E. Superior St. 312-266-0400
“I went last night to meet a friend and had a terrific dinner. The staff was welcoming and efficient, and the food was delicious. The best part was that the two of us spent less than $25 for a great burger and a beer. It may not be sophisticated, but it sure was good. I will be back and I will bring all my friends.”
–Eric L.
Meritage Cafe & Wine Bar
2118 N. Damen Ave. 773-235-6434
“This hip and stylish restaurant has everything: great service, excellent food, beautiful presentation and a comfortable atmosphere. Every time I’ve been to Meritage, I stay for hours because the waitstaff is so friendly. It’s a great place for a date or to bring a food lover from out of town.”
–Lindsay H.
