Pretty Terrific for a Corporate Concept..

by Brian4325 at Citysearch

Truely a unique atmosphere, beautiful building not shaped like a box! We always enjoy the food, drinks and entertainment. The firepit is a fun place to meet friends for drinks. One of the few restaurants in town that continues to serve the full menu after 9pm. The location and parking are ideal and away from holiday mall traffic! Our teenagers actually enjoy eating here with us as well!

• Pros: Food, Atmospher, Open late
• Cons: After leaving you realize that it is still WINTER outside..

Fabulously carefree dining

by sheneyney at Citysearch

When I first arrived at the restaurant I was struck by how much the entrance reminded me of a villa I had stayed in while on vacation, quite a feat, considering it was winter in Chicago. The first person I saw had long, long blonde dreadlocks and island music was in the air. The atmosphere couldn't have been more perfect. I was quickly seated and greeted by my server, Chelsea, who I've always requested since. I found the menu to have a wide selection with something for everyone. There were people of all ages and they seemed to be enjoying the casually elegant surroundings as well. I also noticed a table with actual "islanders", I think they were from Jamaica-always a good sign. I selected the salmon salad. It arrived in a timely fashion, nicely grilled on a bed of salad greens, beans and various veggies, chopped small the way I like and set atop tortilla rounds with cheese, actually the cheese was melted and the tortillas toasted, oh I don't know how they did it, but it was dressed in something citrussy and really delicious and very different from most salmon salads I've enjoyed as of late. I had the chocolate island for desert, again nicely presented and definitely made special with different types of chocolate and some sort of candy coating on the almonds. I absolutely recommend this restaurant, it was definitely a cut above and a unique experience for dining in this price range.

Avoid totally

by sereneway at Citysearch

This is my last visit there. When it first opened, the food and service was amazing. Then the manager changed and menu changed. The one manager (Frank) yells at the waiters/waitresses and creates a very bad atmosphere. The food has changed and it basically dull. The waiters and waitresses were fantastic but turnover is way too high and I blame the management. I predict this restaurant will not be around much longer.

• Pros: Waiters and waitresses
• Cons: Manager, food, ambience

So/so food

by luvs2travel at Citysearch

The seafood isn't very good when compared to other restaurants in the area. It's difficult to find something on the menu that isn't fried and what isn't fried comes either under or over cooked. This location does have a nice little covered patio bar area on the side facing Golf rd for after dinner drinks. It never seems to have taken off however because whenever we stop by to see it always seems a bit slow.

• Pros: easy parking
• Cons: ok food
