We were here for the sloth party, such a wonderful experience”
“We had such a wonderful birthday party experience at Bottle & Bottega in Arlington Heights!
The kids painted beautiful pictures, made their own slime, had pizza, and everyone had so much fun from beginning to end.
A very special thank you to Chris and Gio for making the party so fun, welcoming, and organized. They were amazing with the kids and helped make the day very special.
If you are looking for a great place to celebrate a birthday or just spend quality time with family and friends, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly recommended!”
“My 70th birthday was at the Social loft. The venue was perfect for my celebration and all my guests commented on how nice the venue was. Deanna, the owner, couldn't have been nicer and answered my endless questions patiently and quickly. Her staff was very helpful and a delight to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone looking for an intimate venue to look here. Kudos to the Social Loft!!”
“This is such a special place, I can't say enough nice things about our experience! We hosted my teenage daughter's birthday here and she had such a memorable time. The space itself is ample and can be customized to your event. The vintage pieces add a special warmth and charm. Yet, the cherry on top is the owner Myriam. She has a heart of gold and goes the extra mile to make sure your event is special and meaningful. I was touched by her generosity and grace - the world needs more people like Myriam.”
“I booked my 40th birthday party at the Party Spot. I have absolutely zero regrets except I can’t rewind time. Nadia was so hands on and left me worry free. Her customer service was impeccable and absolutely amazing. Her communication was very professional and she gave her all. Nick was also very helpful and a great bartender. I can’t wait to book another event with her! She delivers!! Everyone is saying my party was the party of the century!! Thank you Nadia and Nick ?”
“This Banquet is classy beautiful and clean. Very well organized. The owner Nilka and Manager Margie are a pleasure to work with! This is the place you want to throw your party. Built with excellence.”
“We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association (NCCA)! Woody and his team were wonderful to work with - from first touring the venue to clean-up the morning after. Set in the beautiful neighborhood of Oak Park, the NCCA is surrounded by community parks and historic homes by Frank Loyd Wright. We also had easy access to the local hotel to host our guests overnight. This wedding venue is reasonably priced with true historic charm. The food and beverages were excellent. We held our ceremony/cocktail hour on the first floor and reception on the second floor, comfortably accommodating our guest count of 175 people. Woody is responsive and flexible. He is willing to support creative endeavors to make your wedding feel original. We feel so fortunate to have found the NCCA to host our wedding - we would absolutely recommend it to you!”
“A great place for a picnic! There are portapotties, lots of parking, and plenty of picnic tables. There’s some nice trails close by to hike. Just be aware that you must leave by sunset!! My friends and I were slapped with some hefty tickets because we didn’t know this rule!”
“Very nice staff. We have our event once a year and they're always very attentive and have everything ready for the event to run smoothly. The coffee they put out Is delicious.”
“The most amazing place to celebrate any occasion. This is the second time I've returned to Chateau Ritz to celebrate my other daughter's 15th birthday, and I knew without a doubt that it's the best banquet hall and that my expectations for service and quality would be met. They make your event as relaxed as possible and help you throughout the entire planning process. I was extremely happy with all the services, from the banquet staff to the food service. Jess and Mike, thank you for everything; you are amazing, and Jess, your decorations were beautiful—something magical. Thank you for everything, Chateau; I will definitely return for my next event.”
“We hosted our fundraiser at the Carlisle this year and it was an outstanding experience. From the initial meeting with Laura to every email, planning session and day of assistance, this venue and its staff far exceeded our expectations. Laura is a true professional and helped make our event that much more special. Our guests loved the food, ambiance, and location of this venue. We look forward to hosting our future events at the Carlisle.”
“I really enjoy taking evening walks here in their walking path. Plenty of families here with their kids playing or participating in their favorite sport. In the summer time they have music in the park with live bands playing today’s hits or old time favorites. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music.”
“A Perfect Wedding at Valley Lo. Thanks to Tatiana and the Team!
Our wedding at Valley Lo was absolutely flawless. The venue’s elegance, seamless coordination and warm hospitality made for an unforgettable celebration. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the ambiance and great food.
Tatiana was exceptional—her expertise and attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. Her dedication made all the difference!
For anyone seeking a stunning venue with an outstanding team, Valley Lo is the perfect choice.”
“Was here for a wedding. The place is huge. Could use a revamp because it's old and noticeable. The woman's restroom is up the stairs and they are kind of steep. It's big and had 3 stalls. The men's is on the main floor. Of you need a big plane for 200+ people then this is it but don't expect an updated look. Parking isn't that great either.”
“I was there for a friend's birthday celebration. It was an exquisite event. The space spoke of her impeccable taste, and the food on the menu was scrumptious. Check out the pics and hopefully the video.

“It was a great intimate space for a gathering the have an outdoor space also which is a plus. The kitchen area was clean. They had ample amount of tables and chairs. Parking of course is street parking but spots were available within the block.”
“A lively organization dedicatedto Irish culture. There's lots going on including a gift shop. Get on the mailing list to find out about art, music, dancing and even Friday night fish fries.”
“not very accessable. as a mobility aid user I noticed how steep any of the wheelchair ramps were immediately, and had to ask staff for assistance more than once.”
“Always have great family events for members and family of members. Amazing Christmas party! Santa and Mrs claus stopped by! Otherwise it's a closer knit group”
“We recently held a post funeral dinner service at Elmcrest Banquets, and I cannot say enough about the professionalism and compassion of the entire staff. The space was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully arranged to create a warm and comforting atmosphere for my family and my guests. They have two parking lots to handle overflow of guests. The food was beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend.”
“I attended a special event at the Mansion with Geoffrey Baer for WTTW. The place is very cool. Some of the rooms have been restored to their original furnishings and some are bare. The library, chapel, and hidden staircase are highlights of the mansion. The weather was not good for outdoor activities on the day of my visit, but the grounds are nice and would make a great place for a walk on a nice day.”
“Such a fun little gem, especially for families with young kids! The unlimited indoor carousel rides were definitely the star of the visit and made everything feel extra special. It’s a cute, charming place where little ones can really enjoy themselves. We loved that the carousel rides were indoors too, which made it even more convenient and fun. Just a friendly heads-up: they close at 2 PM, so it’s best to come early to make the most of your visit. Definitely a sweet little spot for family fun!”

“One of my very favorite hotel. Great location, room and staff, from hotel shuttle driver, front desk, restaurant and housekeeping. I’m sad when I’m in town and they’re sold out which happens quite often. I love staying at this hotel.”
“Tessarae is such a warm, inviting place full of the kindest people. We had my daughter's birthday party there and it was a great experience. The environment was very inviting and comfortable, our group of teens had a really fun time doing a painting lesson together. We're looking forward to returning for painting lessons and art anytime in the future!”
“I rarely leave reviews, but Sam and his co-manager at Bowlero, they both absolutely deserves recognition’s . From the moment we walked in, they set the tone for a smooth, enjoyable night. They were friendly, patient, and incredibly professional.
When we had an issue, Sam handled it immediately and with real care. He didn’t brush anything off, he took ownership, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was fixed quickly. You don’t see that level of customer service much anymore.
Sam and his associate manager genuinely made our visit better. They checked in on us, made sure the lanes were good, and treated us like actual valued guests. You can tell they takes pride in the place and in their job.
Bowlero is lucky to have them. Because of these fine people, we’ll definitely be coming back.”
“A must see! Give yourself plenty of time to see this museum. Great displays telling the Holocaust stories. They do have guides to walk you through the displays. We haven't used them, but I'd recommend using them your first time through. I've been here 2 times and haven't taken enough time to see all in detail. Make sure you plan to see the 3D Holocaust survivor exhibit. It's a hologram of a survivor sitting on a chair telling their story. You can ask questions, and they answer. Very cool. They have a VR experience. I'd recommend you go to that. However, the technology needs upgrading. It's worth going to. Overall, highly recommend you visit and great for young adults to understand what really happened. Learn from history, so this never happens again.”

“We had our wedding at the metropolis ballroom in August 2025 and they surpassed our expectations! We worked with Anita and truly couldn’t say enough good things about her, she made our wedding feel like such a priority and met all of our needs! She was so attentive, responsive and present on our wedding day and all the months leading up! The venue was beautiful, was able to accommodate our large guest list and felt very us! We feel so lucky. Thank you!”
“This place seemed nice for the kids. Not too big and some of the staff seemed a little mean and non approachable but I think it’s still a cool place for kids to come and have fun. ?”
“Very nice banquet hall. It's not the largest, but it fit our party of 180 with some room to spare. The food was delicious and service was really good. The atmosphere was beautiful. Recommended.”
“Me and my girlfriend stayed at this Hotel for 5 days and had a mostly positive experience. It was walkable to a lot of what Chicago has to offer and we rarely needed to take the CTA to get around.”
