coxx Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 can I cum come? "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Booked like a mofo...Cafe Bolero it is! I recommend the Boliche (beef stuffed with ham) or the Miami sandwich (cuban sandwich w/ bacon). Fried plantains and empanadas are my favorite apps. Obviously, mohitos aren't optional. I've heard positive things about the sangria, but have never ordered it myself. ignore him, he'll go away.

Similar food but better http://www.lastablas.com/Eh, you and I should not eat together, very differing tastes. I hate Las Tablas, two terrible meals there, for all parties involved. Tango Sur on Southport on the otherhand, that was good south american steak. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0032 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Us not eating together is a given I like Las Tablas when I went. Cafe Bolero was ok but nothing special. The reviews on Tango Sur look good I might have to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rika Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Schwa http://schwarestaurant.com/ This might be the best restaurant I have eaten at in Chicago. We opted for the 9 course meal but the dishes change every day based on whats local and fresh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have heard good things about this place. It wasn't opened again when my wife and I were there last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rika Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I hear (dont know) it better than that other place you want to go. and the BYOB policy is nice. The chefs were great! no service staff you see into the kitchen and they come out and talk about east course and whats in it. The only one I didnt care for was the chicken liver. We did blow through 2 bottles of wine and some vodka infused with bacon (thier gift to us) Very strange though; I called for a reservation left a VM then got a call back ~a week later and the guy was all like "dude...when do you want to eat..hows this date"? Very informal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 too expensive for me, I rather feed my car than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rika Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It wasn't that bad of a price and well worth it. The dinner took upwards of 3 hours and the experience alone made it fun! Its not an every night or even once a month kind of place but a must try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest heightsgtltd Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nothing actually tasted good, everything was conceptual from the spoon with the hole in it, to the food, to the service. HIGHLY overrated and very expensive. It was like an intellectual exercise vs. an enjoyable meal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rika Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Schwa was great in that respect; even with the 2 bottles of wine we were right around $300; it was a experience with the food, taste and presentation but a good one. The GF was WAY outside her comfort zone and I was a little pushed on mine at time but they chefs were total cool with it. Like when she didnt ficnish a dish they said "its ok this isnt always about liking everything but the experience" Totaly cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
