These folks are totally nice and have a genuine interest in the people in their buildings. I've only been a tenant for a short time, but they are always prompt in providing assistance when and if I need it!

I would walk to the ends of the earth to shop here. Products on their shelves are all immaculately lined up at every hour of every day. It's art.

If you're from Chicago, and you like Lula Cafe, this is your place. It's tiny, the food is fancy and excellent, and the light is lovely.

I had a very similar experience to Roth E. There were plenty of empty tables but the hostess wouldn't seat us because we were "only" ordering appetizers. It was 10pm! We came for fancy beers! From Chicago! Come on!
The food here was actually quite good, but the owner completely ruined the experience. While my friends and I were ordering, the guy behind the grill (who later yelled that he owned the place) was swearing at the nice young chap taking our orders. There were several other groups in the tiny restaurant to muffle the sound, but by the time they trickled out, it became increasingly clear that the owner was still spewing expletives to this poor employee! The f-word was thrown around repeatedly, and we could hear every other word he screamed. It was entirely inappropriate and completely unpleasant. I will never go back on principle.

There is no place on earth that I would rather be drinking than The Long Room. Tasty beers, great bartenders, awesome music, and a photobooth- what more could a girl ask for?! I'll see you there.

Sapori Trattoria
Category:
Italian
Neighborhoods: Lincoln Park, DePaul
This is, hands down, my new favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago. My mom's co-worker has been recommending it for years, and I can't believe we didn't listen sooner!
Everyone who worked there from the waitstaff to the host to the owner were incredibly and genuinely nice people. Our waiter said that Sapori Trattoria is still his favorite restaurant and that he'd been coming there for years before he worked there- what a nice compliment!
Mom and I couldn't resist the combination of pumpkin ravioli and one of their specialty veal dishes. Every bite was mouthwatering! The lasagna got rave reviews from Mom's friend, so we actually asked our waiter if we could take an order home for my step-dad- no problem! I tried some the next day, and it was awesome!
I will most definitely be bringing my family or a hot date or good friends back here as soon as I can!

I brought my family here somewhat accidentally. We were actually looking for another place with a similar name, but it turned out well. The bolognese sauce was quite delicious and their pizzas were big, crisp, and loaded with good stuff. Is it just me, or are the 'zas somewhat expensive here? I'd probably come back for gelato in the summer!

I can't believe it's taken so long for me to review May Street Market. My mom and step-dad took me here for my birthday (nearly a year ago now), but I think it's a good sign that I still remember it as being an excellent dining experience! Our server was great and so was the food. I will definitely be back as soon as possible!

Pastoral
Categories:
Cheese Shops,
Delis
Neighborhood: The Loop
Pastoral is my go-to place for summer box lunches for Grant Park concerts, and it's just as good throughout the year for amazing food and service. Their sandwiches are delicious, their cheese and wine selections are awesome, and their service is impeccable.
This is the kind of place where you can go in and ask for their suggestions without worrying that you'll get an eye roll. They will gladly give you just what you're looking for or go into great detail if you're interested. I once had a cheese monger explain the region where my cheeses originated. I love that!
