- SSandeepVIPChicago / Illinois •109 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur 2nd experience at this establishment. 1st was last month/year after Zoolights. We brunched this afternoon. Finally, got my hands on the French Toast (had it at their sister restaurant in Oak Park about 2-3 years ago). Wifey opted for Huevos Con Chorizo. Both were good. The complimentary Tortilla Soup was delicious too. The kitchen forgot to add Chorizo to the entree (believe it was a miscommunication as we requested a mushroom addition to the entree). The management comped us a side of Chorizo + a round of Cocktails (totally unexpected!!!!). We had trouble using the OpenTable Dining Reward Mastercard. Our server, Gracie, was patient and accommodating. We ended up paying using the credit card.More infoCeibaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Mexican• Lincoln Park•4.9
- EELDARVIPChicago / Illinois •51 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoVela Bar y Cocina offers a delightful dining experience with a menu that highlights fresh and flavorful dishes. The Hamachi Ceviche was a refreshing and light start to the evening, setting the tone for the meal. The Taco Gobernador stood out with its delicious blend of flavors, while the Pulpo a la Parilla brought a unique and enjoyable twist to the table. The Pescado Entero was fresh and flavorful, providing a satisfying conclusion to the dinner. The ambiance is undeniably beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, the interior shows signs of wear, with noticeable food and drink stains on the walls at table level, hinting at the need for better maintenance. Service was friendly and helpful, especially with food and drink recommendations. Yet, attention to detail was lacking—spilled food or drink on the table wasn’t promptly addressed, which slightly detracted from the overall experience.More infoVelaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• River North (Chicago)•4.6
