Papaspiros Greek Taverna
Categories:

I have to say of all the Gyros I've eaten in my life this one was the absolute best. The service was so great and the whole meal was served promptly. The wine menu was quite good sized so that there is almost something to accommodate any ones taste. Our appetizers included Saganaki - the well known flaming Greek cheese and Kalamaria, which was prepared perfectly. But what pushed this from a 4 star to a 5 star was the gyros. Fantastic, a must try if you are in the area and have the means. Ask for Yanni to be your server he's great.

The Pasta Shoppe & Cafe - CLOSED
Category:

Overall a great local place to dine, I've been there going on 10 times. I really enjoy the place, the food I find to be excellent, and the service is always quite good. During the Summer months there is an outdoor area to sit, and if you're coming from downtown it is a very short walk from the Green Line stop. I can't rave about this place more, but I may be a bit bias as it is so close to home. Finally they make a great fresh pasta and there is a deli in the front of the place for those who may on want to take it to cook at home or just feel like a quick gelato. Enjoy the outside with a great bottle of wine and great service.

Had Father's day lunch there, and let me say the proportions were all generous. The chopped salad is a great starter, and the specials of the day were a hit at our table. I had a garlic shrimp and steak combo that was excellent. I would suggest this location or any other, as the food and desserts were excellent too.

Neighborhood: Lakeview
Overall this was a great experience, the menu had tons of selections of all priced champagnes, and the music was a great atmosphere setter. We enjoyed some flights of champagne that were reasonably priced along with a plate of different cheeses. Followed up with some drinks that were mixed well and at their correct price points. I would recommend checking it out either as a group or on a date, it's a really fun place where the music still complements light conversation.

The Signature Lounge is the place I take all my out of town friends. There is no better way to start an evening out than to take your guest up to the top of the Hancock for some drinks and let them take in the skyline. The prices for drinks a slightly higher than most places, but atmosphere makes up for it.

Being one of the oldest fields still left around makes going to Wrigley an experience all it's own. I suggest for first time visitors, and regulars alike, get some bleacher seats and sit back and take the whole park in with a few ice cold Old Styles. Every Memorial Day weekend that the cubs are playing at home I try and make an effort to go to the game, and have yet to be let down. Even with a Cub's loss the park makes up for it.

Went to Jane's as part of a monthly dinner club, and must say with a large group the place held up very nicely. I enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the food. The apps were also very good, and everyone in the party felt that they would like to return again.
Plus with the additon of the building next door there was plenty of space for us all. Being in a larger dinner party the music was also at the right level where everyone wasn't having to yell at each other to hear what we were discussing.
