Cafe Iberico

on
December 27, 2012

Inexpensive, great food, excellent Sangria. What more could you want in a tapas place?

Standout dishes are the mussels in tomato sauce, the duck, and the almighty bacon wrapped dates (trumps another Tapas place with a Cafe in it’s name in Lincoln Park – nudge nudge).

This is an awesome first…

Girl and The Goat

on
December 27, 2012

The food at Girl and the Goat is great because they don’t over complicate it. The presentation is great, but without the tons of unnecessary ingredients and strange garnishes that other fine dining restaurants think are so important. They let the ingredients shine, the way it should be.

The scallops…

At one point in the meal the owner came by our table, throws on an Italian accent and loudly exclaims: “Hey youz two guyz, youz want any more a dis gaahrlic naan!?”. We all broke out laughing (including the owner). Awesome service, hilarious owner.

Home Bistro

on
May 19, 2012

BYOB, delicious and creative food, nice big portions, friendly wait staff. HB, you revved my engine. This is a must-go restaurant in Chicago.

The mussels are out of this world good. I had actually never ordered “Amsterdam Style” Mussels (just a big-ass bowl of mussels) at a restaurant before but…

Sweet Mandy B’s

on
May 8, 2012

A lone, jacked, tough looking, 6’7″ dude, dressed like LeBron James in a State Farm Commercial, cut past my girlfriend and I as we were turning the corner on Webster to go try a cupcake from Sweet Mandy B’s.

Rude, yeah, but hey he probably had some tough dude stuff to…

Longman & Eagle

on
January 15, 2012

A three dollar whiskey shot menu and delicious food is a match made in heaven; Longman and Eagle is Saint Peter.

I knew this place was going to be good when right as we sat down our server offered us a complimentary spoonful of some kind of mystery squash and…

Union Sushi + Barbeque Bar

on
December 11, 2011

Now THIS is how a Sushi restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter) should be.

We came in starving after a winery tour looking to sate our inebriated appetites and continue letting the good times roll.

We took one look at the menu, deemed it overwhelming, and asked our server, Dan…

Fish Bar

on
November 1, 2011

Imagine Sebastien from “The Little Mermaid” singing a merry tune about how delicious he is right before you devour him on a french bread roll. That what the Lobster Roll at Fish Bar is like.

When my girlfriend and I first decided to try Fish Bar (before we ate the…

The Publican

on
October 22, 2011

I was truly wowed by the food at The Publican.

Benton Country Ham — Imagine that bacon and butter met, hooked up, and the result was a soft bacon baby with all the flavor of prosciutto but with a texture like butter. Yeah, this is like that.

Oysters — We went…

Toast (Webster Ave.)

on
October 13, 2011

Toast shines because of it’s simplicity. They offer expertly cooked breakfast staples featuring fresh, delicious ingredients. I have tried the Smoked Salmon Omelette, Crabby Benedict, and the almighty Breakfast Burrito. I recommend any of these dishes, all are delicious, but to me the Burrito is easily the star.

I have…

I just don't want to look back and think "I could've eaten that."
