Strip mall next to a liquor store and a day care. Who cares?
Old World charm. Old World offerings. Old World Chicken Dumpling Soup.
Soup or salad, plus an entree, a potato AND a vegetable for under $15. Presentation is insanely beautiful for a strip mall "grill".
Appetizers are as good as they come, and specials are listed on their website daily.
Dessert is delectable at around $4. You will be stuffed, so share it. I don't even like cheesecake and I found myself moaning at the table in foodie ecstasy.
Plan on trying the amazing wild mushroom flatbread, paying a $0.00 corkage fee for your BYOB goodies, and experiencing one of the best hidden gems in the Chicago area. Salmon: stellar. NY Strip steak: to die for. Other common offerings include porcini-crusted pork and baked clams. I even saw a lobster walk by!
Charming owners, less than stellar to look at. But again -- who cares?
I may have seen someone BYOB some Diet Coke.
To each his own.
Customer for life!
What a hidden gem!!
My family came here for dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday.  This a BYOB restaurant without a corkage fee which is always a plus.  We were seated as soon as we arrived & welcomed by a friendly server.  The garlic bread was fresh and delicious.  Unfortunately, they were out of one of the specials, but  there was still a wide variety to choose from.  The presentation of the food was unexpected and impressive for a diner. The tables also had small vases with flowers- a nice touch.  There is definitely an older clientele that come here and the place cleared out by 7pm.  We all enjoyed our meals and agreed we would come back here - such a nice meal without breaking the bank!  I am curious to try their breakfast selection.
I've had less dinner for more money in swankier places, don't judge this book by its cover. Delicious, and reasonably priced, free parking, BYOB and no corking fee. AND I don't have to buy a new outfit to eat here. The calamari app was tender., The baked clams I am told were good. the dinner salad was fresh, I had a delicious, creamy balsamic dressing, as did a few others in the group. Â Everybody loved what they had. Â a friend and I each had the the pork 'rack' with mushroom sauce - a giant delicious perfectly cooked pork chop. One of us had the a seafood gnocchi she loved it. Â all in all every thing we saw going to other a tables looked just as good. Â We all enjoyed what we had....including the chocolate cake and banana split...... in the end the bill was pleasant surprise... 2 apps, 5 entrees, 2 deserts $112........
will definitely go back. Â I am just now trying to get my husband up to go for breakfast, Â I hear it is great too.!
