    We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!

    Maple Tree Inn is a very nice place to eat, my husband is from New Orleans and said the food was very good. He wasn't fond of the red beans & rice(too much rice ,not enough beans and sauce) but he enjoyed the seafood gumbo. The Pecan Crusted Crab cake was delicious and meaty. We both had the Jambalaya and it was fantastic. We were there celebrating our anniversary and they gave us complimentary beignets for dessert. My only slight complaint was that it was a bit chilly in the restaurant when we first arrived but as the place filled up it felt better. It was a great anniversary.

    Frankie's NEVER disappoints!! The Valentine's Kids' Night was so much fun and so beautifully planned and executed. My kiddos LOVED the special kids drinks, the coloring sheets, all the decor and little details that made it special for kids. The adults also had many fun choices for specialty Valentine's drinks and desserts, too. As a parent, I really appreciate such an incredible restaurant having these types of events for kids and families. Excellent service as always, absolutely delicious food!!
