- FFrayaGoldLondon •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThere’s a reason Hugo’s Frog Bar is still packed after all these years! My brother and I had an absolutely fabulous dinner. The food was incredible—from the salmon avocado sushi roll appetizer to the Dover sole, which was simply killer! The cocktails were on cloud nine, including my French 77 and my brother’s mezcal cocktail. And the service? Outstanding! A special shout-out to Frank, who took such wonderful care of us. Everything was exceptional, from start to finish. In fact, it was so good that I’m already bringing my out-of-town friends back in two weeks. Hugo’s continues to be a Chicago classic for a reason!More infoHugo's Frog Bar & Fish House - Chicago$$$$• Seafood• Gold Coast / Streeterville•4.7
- HHannahPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoLula Cafe NEVER disappoints. I’ve been wanting to try their farm dinner for a while and when it aligned with my birthday AND had wagyu on the menu, I knew it was the perfect opportunity. Seating for our reservation was delayed, but the staff was very apologetic and went above and beyond to make up for it. The hospitality at Lula is impeccable. They checked in with us multiple times and even sent a free appetizer and desserts. They made me feel so special on my birthday and I just genuinely had the greatest time. I’m so impressed with their ever changing menu and delivery on unique farm dinners. Thank you Lula Cafe and the whole team for being the absolute BEST in the game!More infoLula Cafe$$$$• Contemporary American• Logan Square•4.9
- DDeborahGoldChicago / Illinois •58 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 15, 2026Really tasty! The 4 of us all really enjoyed 3 spreads, zucchini chips and our souvlaki dishes. Drinks also were great. Dessert menu was uninspiring and we declined. Service was friendly, helpful, fast and efficient.More infoAvli Taverna - Lincoln Park$$$$• Greek• Lincoln Park•4.7
- AAracelliDallas - Fort Worth •2 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 8, 2026I came to Nellie’s for the first time to enjoy their brunch buffet. The selection of food was great and I couldn’t help but sample a little bit of everything! I believe we got there a little early into service as there were some areas of the buffet station unattended when I first walked into the back, but the gentleman at the egg station was very friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Our server was very busy and unable to stop by the table as often as we needed, so there was a few gaps of time where my guest and I had to wait for drinks and/or necessary condiments, but not enough to deter me from going back. Buffets get busy and the support staff was quick to step in to grab our server when they noticed we’d been waiting a little long. The ambiance of the restaurant felt very homey and I would love to go back with more people and perhaps sit on the patio to really take in the Full atmosphere of this Humboldt Park staple! If the food served at their brunch buffet is this good, I can’t wait to see how great their dinner is!More infoNellie's Restaurant$$$$• Puerto Rican• Bucktown / Wicker Park•4.5
