I had the Penang curry, and it was beyond delicious. I ordered it medium spicy, which was a little mild for me, but I really like spicy food. My co-worker had one of the noodle dishes. Definitely not Pad Thai, lol, so explore a bit on the menu. We also tried the Gyo Khai Nok, a quail egg wrapped in a crispy fried wonton sheet and served with tamarind sauce. It was unique, tasty, and unlike any appetizer I’ve had before. The space is tight, but the service was quick and friendly. I’d absolutely go back.

A quiet mid-week visit tonight to Sonny D’s at the lake was a good choice not just for the food but also the service. The chopped salad and chicken parmigiana were excellent and in portions that guaranteed we wouldn’t leave hungry. But the service made the evening — our server was delightful and she helped steer us through beverage and good choices that were hits. Even the back waiter who brought us our meals was knowledgeable, friendly and at a young age clearly understood the elements of good guest service. Kudos to management for taking care of both sides of the guest experience.

I attended an after work dinner with coworkers and our waiter was very attentive, didn’t rush us, gave excellent recommendations, and allowed us to enjoy the evening without hovering. Exceptional service from start to finish!

I order the short braised ribs and it was excellent. I was celebrating a special occasion and the server provided us a glass of champagne. I thought that was classy! Joined the rewards club and will definitely be returning soon and often

Impressive experience from start to finish. The setting is as close to water level as you can find for fine dining on the Chicago River. We were seated in one of the rounded booths that create quite an immersive setting. Our server was excellent. He had such a kind and patient demeanor and helped us select an ideal assortment of plates. The food was absolutely exquisite. The halibut was a standout. We had the yogurt for dessert but didn’t “get it” as a dessert that stood up to the level of the rest of the meal but that’s okay. It was a beautiful lunch and memorable experience. Definitely worth the hype of trying to get the reservation.

    Took my granddaughter there for lunch to celebrate her birthday. The staff made her feel special, gave us an excellent table and surprised her with ice cream for a special dessert. The food was delicious, our server kind and efficient and even the host was excellent and wished her a happy birthday. This was our first time there, but will definitely be back!
