Our favorite place for sushi. I enjoy the atmosphere - comfortable and lively, but not so loud that you canât carry a conversation. Food is consistently good but on more than one occasion, when the restaurant is busier, the service has been below average. Servers are always friendly but it seems as though they canât keep up with the traffic. Most recently, we were seated for more than five minutes before our server introduced herself. Drinks took too long to show up and we had to flag her down for another round. Same deal trying to get and then pay the bill. She did the best she could (and with a smile) but poor service has been the rule lately rather than the exception.

The food is typical Irish - stick to your ribs. We meet with friends after a Skokie event. The server was very good and offered suggestions on Irish drinks- Jameson and Ginger Ale for one.

Walking into Gale Street Inn is rather like stepping back into the past. It's been a neighborhood favorite in Jefferson Park for generations. Dark wood, atmospheric lighting, lots of regular customers, and selections that aren't jazzed up with sriracha sauce or lemon grass - just traditional, delicious food that's well prepared and served with considerate attention - no silly gimmicks, just attentive, helpful service. What a pleasure! The crab cakes were excellent (and as an appetizer 1/2 price before 6:00 pm). The ribs here are famous and the barbecue sauce is raved about. It's a neighborhood that's northwest but still in the city. It might not be on your regular route, but it's worth going out of your way to eat here.

Enjoyed our dinner at Makisu! I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki and it was delicious! The sauteed veggies which accompanied the entree were beautifully presented and excellent tasting as well. Other dinners ordered included Chicken Teriyaki, Scallop Crab Cake and the Tempura Small Plates - everyone was very happy. Miso Soup is included with the entrees.

Hackney's opened in 1939 in Glenview, Illinois. We are famous for our Hackney Burger served on our house made Dark Rye and our Original French Fried Onions. We are still owned and operated by the same family that opened Hackney's 80 years ago!

The food and atmosphere are on par with the Hackney's on Lake. Usually the service is good too, but on our most recent visit the wait staff went MIA so often I felt like I needed to tackle one of them just to get their attention (flailing my arms like a quarterback signalling a touch-down worked at the last minute.) There were only 2-3 tables with patrons in our section so it's not like they were over-loaded with customers.Hopefully next time the wait staff will be back up to speed.

We stopped at this long-time restaurant and watering hole for a Saturday lunch. All of the college football games were on the many screens. I opted for a burger. My wife went Italian with Egg plant Parmesan. Her portion was like two so she took half home. I knocked off the burger but couldnât finish the coleslaw and cooked vegetables. Great service! Huge beer selection but a little early for us. Nice menu.

Peckish, a British term for "hungry". The Pig, a gastro pub, opened in March 2014 and has helped to start a revitalization of Howard St which forms the north Chicago & south Evanston city limits.I had a couple of their ales on a previous visit but this was my first meal. I selected that nights grilled salmon dish which was perfect. I do not recall what my friends dish was but she did enjoy it.We dined on a Thursday and selected the patio to enjoy the pleasant evening. Its enclosed on all sides by surrounding buildings. Only a few tables were occupied. A nice location for a date night. The staff was courteous & provided very good service. We both enjoyed the night and look forward to another visit.

We stopped at The Howard Street Inn because it was Tueday, which meant their sloppy Joe special, though when we arrived, we realized that they were celebrating Fat Tuesday. The parking lot was full and the restaurant and bar were full, though there was a good turnover. We waited about ten minutes, but it was worth it. Our server came to the table and took our drink order. When she brought back the "Hurricane", we ordered. The first entree was the sloppy Joe special which includes mac and cheese with two decent-sized sloppy Joe sandwiches. We also ordered the tuna stuffed avocado. We were a bit disappointed with that, however, as it seemed like there should have been a little more avocado, but it was tasty. As we neared the end of our meal, the owner brought two complimentary paczki to our table - one blueberry and one raspberry which were from Oak Mill Bakery. A great way to end the evening. The price was really good for what we had and we did have some food to take home. Our server, Christina, was very personable, efficient and she was very busy.

As a Frequent Diner member, was somewhat shocked at the way the late afternoon meal unfolded. Arrived around 3:40PM, and asked for the dinner menu. Was seated in the bar area, where the only server doubled as the bartender, and NO busboy help, as it got busier (even though the server tried her hardest) things just went south from there. Had a 6 piece shrimp cocktail, which was excellent, soups were luke warm, but could not get attention of the server to correct the problem because she then became very busy with bar patrons and other tables.....all they while the manager with another employee stood at the front talking.....not paying attention to what going on. Had ask for bread and butter.....it finally arrived a loaf of onion bread that my wife could not eat......finally asked server if there was another type of bread available....she said no, so I asked to pay for a piece of the corn bread that went along with the brisket.....she said fine. 5 minutes later, the manager that was doing nothing came to the table and said he was sorry, they only had enough corn bread for the brisket special that day. I then expressed my concern about the lack of people working.....he said "sorry" and walked away. There was dirty dishes from the shrimp and soup laying on the table, but I guess he felt that was not has job to remove them....a pathetic attitude for a Melman restaurant manager. All the entries were finally served.....with my wife's Filet being excellent. But at 32.95 with only a side of fries....pretty pricey.....Wildfire offers 2 sides along with excellent service no matter what time you go to the restaurant. Obviously somebody (besides the current management staff at Woods) needs to address the staffing problems during ALL time periods. Spent $168 for a disrupted dinner.....won't be back for awhile.
