"I’m such a high tea fan, I’ve enjoyed it on 5 continents. The new high tea offered at Tea Lula ranks as one of the best I’ve enjoyed. The food is fresh and so creative, beyond what you find at most tea service. Sandwiches will have you craving more. The homemade cream, jam and lemon curd for the scones are absolutely delicious. Sweet tier offers a nice mix of treats and balances it out with some fresh fruit. The tea selections are great and wine is also offered. If you don’t want the alcohol there’s a choice of some very festive nonalcoholic effervescent beverages. It’s a lovely setting, bright and cheery and the staff makes you feel so welcome. Truly a wonderful way to enjoy the high tea experience. I can’t wait to return!"

"It's a very beautiful place! And very tasty sushi!! But! Very unpleasant staff We have the impression that the guests are not welcome there The waiter never smiled. It seemed to us that the waiter did not want to serve us, although she was nice with her colleagues and always smiled, but when she approached us, she was inhospitable it was very unpleasant, and we thought they just didn't want to see us here. I was also very upset that they do not have Wi-Fi Internet for guests when I asked the administrator if it was possible to find out the password for the Internet, I was told that they do not have Internet for guests, this is a big disadvantage for me"

"Parking goes all the way around three sides of the restaurant. And this is truly needed, because of the large square footage inside the restaurant. The parking lot was full on a Wednesday night! When I walked in, there was a bar area immediately to the right for you to grab your first cocktail, but I have never had to wait for a table. They have an equally sized outdoor patio as they have available seating area inside. If you sit on the patio where you're not staring at the parking lot, you will be fully transformed into a little Mediterranean vacation with twinkle lights above the pergola and vines on the wall. The place was fully packed outside with many people sipping on Lemontinis. First, we got the Spanakopita, which was basically a savory baklava but with diced feta and spinach inside with tomato sauce to accompany it. The Skewers were fabulous to split with a pal, as they come with a large portion of protein kebabs with rice, tomato onion, Taziki, and two slices of pita. The chicken was so tender and could convert anyone who doesn't like chicken to like chicken. These Plateia chefs are absolutely using a thermometer to cook, because nothing has been overdone, ever. Little loud at times for my 32-year-old ears to hear, but it was because of the bustling environment with people all around chatting and and having a grand old time. How could you blame them?"

Frog

"Hugo’s Frog Bar is rightly named with delicious food! I’m going to tell you right now I only came here for the sole purpose of trying frog legs in which I have never done before and damn right I made the appropriate decision. This restaurant is in Rivers Casino Des Plaines and has a nice dark atmosphere for something almost romantic or secretive, lovely staff, and a great for one’s palette. The frog legs were almost wing-esque, and the seasoning was just right. The restaurant has complimentary bread, and I was given great instruction to use the seasonings that fell off the frog legs onto the plate as a dip and may I say two thumbs up for that idea. I also got oysters that tasted fresh, correct slurp-age, with good dipping/toppings. I literally came back the next day to order another round of oysters and frog legs because why not? I also ordered the crème brulee and I was not warned about what I was about to be served but it was a nice surprise because that thing was HUGE and yum! I wish I could have ordered more but my eyes are bigger than my stomach, but maybe next time!"

"Had a delicious dinner at Cafe Lucci last night. While it may be on a busy road with difficult parking, they offered complimentary valet parking. Even though we were 15 mins early, they were able to seat us immediately. Our attentive server quickly took our cocktail orders and gave us the perfect amount of time to review the delicious specials and fantastic menu. I always love when I try a new restaurant and there are multiple dishes I want to try, both on the specials menu and the regular. Our decisions did not disappoint. We ordered the grilled calamari (yummy) and I ordered my favorite dish, Ciopino, (which is risky as they could disappoint me very easily here) and it was FANTASTIC. They even offer it with or without pasta. I went full on protein fix and it was wonderful. I added a side of sautéed spinach for some greens and that was the perfect meal for me. Friends tried many of the specials and everyone was thrilled. We didn't ordered dessert as it was late and we were tired, but many passed our table and they looked beautiful and worthy of trying. Next time!!! I will say the bread they brought to the table was stale, but the garlic spread which accompanied the bread made it edible. The only other less positive review I will give is on the ambiance. There really isn't any. It's loud and the dining area doesn't have much personality. The bar does look quaint, but overall not great. To add to our favorable review, we literally walked out to the valet and our car was already waiting for us!!! Impressive. He must have seen we were paying the bill and he brought our two cars around. Quite a nice touch. Bravo! I highly recommend Cafe Lucci. I can't wait to go back."
