Great dinner, server was respectful of our pace for the evening. Manager Alia was super-responsive and helpful responding to my call post-visit about a left-behind personal item. Great food and service all around!

First time diners at Kama Bistro and we were very impressed. Very good drinks, tasty samosas and a variety of dishes including chicken, lamb, pork chops all of which were great. Bourbon soaked doughnuts for dessert were a great finish. Looking forward to returning.

Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day 2025 dinner at Prasino. The snowy Chicago weather meant it wasn’t overly crowded, making for a cozy and intimate experience. The ambiance was excellent, and while the entrée selection was somewhat limited, every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. Service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend for a date night or a business dinner!

Food and service were great. Place can get a bit noisy. But again, it is a bar/restaurant. Saying that, would still go back again in a heartbeat!
