Top notch meal

by 086neeg

What a great experience to be served a gourmet meal by one of the Top Chefs! Have enjoyed this special dinner offer 3 times and can't wait to go back. Dale is a master. His 3-course meal is perfect -- nice portions, unique flavor combinations and wonderful presentations. It's a treat no Chicagoan should forgo!

• Pros: Best deal for memorable food
• Cons: reserve in advance

relax lounge is the worst bar in chicago

by jsmith39

this is by FAR, the worst bar in chicago. the service is TERRIBLE. the owner is rude. the music is terrible! it was completely empty on the weekend.

i went there for my friend's birthday, and our waitress was so slow. we had to wait almost 20 minutes between drinks. we tried going up to the bar to get drinks because our waitress was so slow and the bartender ignored us. our friend said she knew the owner so we decided to tell him that we needed drinks since our waitress was back in the kitchen stuffing her fat face, and he told us to order from the bar (which obviously did not work).

i will never go back there, and honestly, i dont know how this place hasa stayed open as long as it has. the only plus i can give it is the burger was pretty good...even though it came out cold about an hour after we ordered it. also, the busboys never cleared our table and neither did our lazy waitress. we had about 6 empty glasses on our tiny little table.

they need a better sound system and a different dj.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: everything
