I'm not a fan of the Pho...but I LOOOOOOVEEEE their sandwiches...VBQ and Porkys Sandwich...I love the French Market and love coming here on my lunch break for a yummy sandwich. I hear its cheaper in Vietnamese town but its worth coming here for $7-8 :)

3.5 We had dinner here Sunday with family. Small space & Good food and service. The prices were comparable to other restaurants. The portions were average. However, I think my expectations were quite high but I think I still like my favorite place Calos in Andersonville. For Park Ridge, Nonna Silvia's is a great place to dine. If you are closer to Edison Park, I would go there instead.

We had the Gnocci, Insulata Arugala, Seafood pasta, Veal, and Calamari with Spinach. All in all very good.

We can't wait for the Spring to watch the Ice melt and the rushing rivers and waterfalls.

We went for the Fall leaves. We hiked 3.5 hours and took many photos. We loved Starved Rock and we will be coming every year and hopefully every season.

It was serene and beautiful.

This is a great group outing and also great for just couples and families.

Bring your cameras, water bottles, and binoculars for bird or animal watching.

Best of all its: FREE!

I hear canoes and camping is nearby too.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

3.5-4.0 ~ We ventured here on a whim as we cancelled our mini road trip to Lake Geneva during Thanksgiving weekend. $39.95 was the Special. Normally at $59.95.
My fiance and I, his friends and babies, and their pal :) 5 adults and 2 little ones.

This included a baked half chicken, baked potatoe, and mini slice of prime rib, soup, with soda & coffee. They do sell alcohol for the parents! :) LOL

Imagine a Cosco sized Medieval space (Chucky Cheese) but very fun atmosphere with children and families. This place is huge.

They had theatre actors with English accents. The service was okay. I felt maybe some staff enjoyed their job and some did not. They throw the food on a silver plated style plate and you watch a great theatre joust and story about a prince and princess and hero knight.

I expected a little more but really it was good for the price, you have a theatrical show that costs alot in overhead and then you get a meal that is staged as Medieval baby dragon killed by the Green Knight or Red Knight, etc lol and hot potatoes.

This is a fairy tale place for kids and adults who love the Knights Tales and Jousting shows. I enjoyed myself would like to have a happier server.

They ask for gratuity at the end of the meal. So make sure you have some cash to make it easier.

The parking lot and bathrooms are easily accessible for the large crowd but give yourself some time to organize your group/family.

I'm glad we went during a deal, I would probably not pay the full price if it was another week.

Check it out during their deals. Check out their website.
I think their souvenirs were pricey but I guess it is like a Great America type of place, expensive photos and souvenir items.

Beautiful rooms and great service. We visited a unique concept of a room, it felt like a stylish condo. Great bar, unique bathrooms, project room, sitting area, and master bedroom area. I hear the rooms are styled in different layouts. I can't wait to see more.

Love the French markets international flavor of eateries and produce...etc..Its a skip and hop from the office on Washington and Clinton. Saigon Sisters Vietnamese Sandwiches is the best along with the GELATO place on the other side. There is so much to look at. Come here for a quick bite and cool experience. Grab a table fast if you have a group. :) It gets busy here during lunch! So hussle and strategize people!
