"I'm giving this place two stars primarily because it has been a reliable late-night option, closing at 2 AM when other places are shutting down. I've been here a few times before, and the food has always been decent. The lively music sets the mood for dancing, making it a great spot if you enjoy loud beats.However, my recent experience left much to be desired. I brought some friends visiting from Germany, and after a long day of filming, we decided to check it out around 12:40 AM. Unfortunately, our night took a turn for the worse. We waited until 1:00 AM to get our initial drinks, and even then, service was slow. By 1:20 AM, we were ready to order a second round, which didn't arrive until 1:30 AM.To our surprise, just minutes after receiving our drinks, a staff member announced last call, and security began ushering people out yelling “we are closed”. We were told to leave at 1:29 AM, even though the establishment closes at 2 AM. The security personnel hovered over our table, urging us to leave, while others were also exiting. I found this treatment quite rude.I explained that we had just received our 2nd drinks, and it was only 1:30 AM, meaning we still had time according to their closing hours. Despite being paying customers who had ordered drinks, we were told to finish drinks quickly as we headed toward the exit. My friends from Germany were disappointed with this service, and I felt a bit embarrassed because I had recommended this place highly.I've visited various bars and lounges before, and what sets them apart is that they typically don't ask patrons to leave before their closing time. In my experience, when a place says they're closing at 2 AM, it usually means they start the process of cleaning up and closing down at that time, rather than prematurely asking customers to depart. I personally consider this practice unprofessional, lazy, rude."

Great food, great drinks, great specials. Service can be a bit slow at times unless you sit at the bar and the music can be a little too loud that you can’t even hear your own party but all in all, I keep coming back and bringing people in. The wings are to die for

Delicious food, if a little pricey for counter service. The soda machine wasn't working the day we were there and they didn't have a big variety in the soda fridge. The falafel was fresh, crisp and flavorful. Hummus was tasty, as were the salads. The desserts were crisp and fresh and not dripping in honey. View menu

Haven’t been here for awhile and the decor is completely different. Much more elegant it’s great for couples or groups. My fav is the kefta and chicken kabob. Bomb.com P.S. The free falafel yall gave me was spot on Update: I stopped by earlier and bought their tray that feeds 15 people! Family was from out of town and they loved it! Thanks again guys!!

Was a good time. We went later because we couldn’t find another spot that was open after midnight because we were celebrating a friend's birthday where she had a good time drinks and is expensive but everything was so good we didn’t get to go downstairs to see the dance floor a friend mentioned that it was a basement but we didn’t get to do it. I think we were just kind of ready to eatbut will be back again.

"Tempesta is arguably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. They make a lot of their meats in house and use high quality ingredients so you know you’re getting the good stuff. Not only can you get a great sandwich, you can purchase most of their meats to go as well as other small artisanal grocery items. I have tried almost every sandwich they have on the menu but my top two choices would be the #1 The Dante and the #2 Yo! Vincenzo! The Dante is their version of a classic Italian sandwich but a bit on the spicier side. The Yo Vincenzo is a chicken parm and I personally think it’s the best chicken parm sandwich in the city. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and they use just the right amount of sauce where it doesn’t get soggy. Both of these sandwiches come on their fresh baguette which helps set them apart from other sandwich spots in Chicago just because of how good it is. The B Franklin is also a great option, and if you’re starving get the Wagyu Pastrami but be warned it is a very heavy sandwich because of that Wagyu. The last pro tip I’ll add in here is order your sandwich ahead of time if you’re doing takeout. This is a very popular spot and is always busy during the lunch rush so if you wait to order until you arrive you may need to wait for 10-15 minutes. That should speak to how good this place is because it’s in such high demand, so if you’re in Chicago make sure you stop in!"
