Peruvian Delish

Restaurant: Tanta Chicago
Dined at Tanta tonight and it was packed for a Monday. Cool space and great cocktail and beer selection. The food was amazing. There is something for everyone from seafood to steak dishes. Great sharing options and you can taste a lot of their different flavors. Definitely will be back!

Fancy shmancy!

Restaurant: TRU
We were excited to use some Lettuce Entertain You gift cards to have a "date night" at Tru. We opted for the 6 course tasting and both had drinks, but not the wine pairing. I was in a champagne kind of mood. We loved the butternut squash soup and the prime beef ribeye. The dessert parfait comes on a monkey statue and NOT what you would expect to come to your table. I wanted to take him home with me.... Overall, it was a fun night, excellent food and is a perfect place for a special occassion or celebration. Well done!

AMAZING NEW ADDITION TO CHICAGO FOOD SCENE!

Restaurant: The Boarding House
We were lucky enough to be a part of the soft opening night at Alpana Singh's The Boarding House and cannot wait to go back for the full menu. The venue is stunning as soon as you walk in and you can definitely tell a lot of hard work went into the design. The bar menu is inventive and full of various options. Our favorite was the Chicken Poutine Pizza. Literally mouth watering and full of flavor. Don't miss! Also a must try are the pork tots. Pulled pork stuffed in large tots?? AMAZING. Great wine list, awesome service, beautiful surroundings make for a wonderful new addition to the chicago food scene. Make your reservations now for dinner...this place is going to be a huge hit.

Mouth watering

Restaurant: Au Cheval
Finally made it over to Au Cheval and would like to go back ASAP. Great selection of beer on tap and a fun option for French diner food. Cozy atmosphere and great service, as well! My favorite was the ham and cheese fondue and my mouth is literally watering thinking about dipping the warm bread into the gooey, delicious hot cheese and ham. Also had the cheeseburger, but it is not an average greasy burger. Topped with pickles, cheese and egg and cooked to perfection. Another fave was the cripsy fries covered in cheese and with a side of garlic mayo...what? SO GOOD! Amazing comfort food and will be back soon for more.

Deliciosa!!!

Restaurant: Maya Del Sol
We just moved to Oak Park and were worried we were going to miss our favorite Mexican place in the city. We were SO excited for find Maya Del Sol!!! It was a gorgeous night and we were able to sit in the outdoor patio. LOVED IT! First of all, they have a HUGE area with fun decor and blankets if it is chilly and sombreros to wear if you feel the mood. The margaritas were delish and we started with the corn mesa cups which were amazing. The chicken tinga was just the right amount of heat. Our waitress gave us some awesome recommendations and we loved the fish tacos and the enchiladas. Very fresh, inventive and an excellent mx of flavors. This will be a go to in our house!
