After careful consideration of several tapas spots, I decided on The 1492 for dinner last Tuesday. I called ahead for reservations, and I also asked if the Tuesday night bar special was still going on. The gentleman responded yes, and confirmed my reservation. First off, the restaurant has valet parking, which is wonderful considering it's location (very difficult parking street). The outdoor is beautiful, very festive. Our waitress was great, actually way above average as servers go. My date had a peach sangria, and I ordered the traditional, mine was wonderful, according to my date, her?s tasted a little bit watery . The tapas were very good. The bacon wrapped dates were excellent. The mussels came in a delicious marinara sauce, soooo good. The cheese plate was average, but very well presented. For the entree we shared the paella. The rice was cooked perfectly, infused with savory broth. The seafood was not over-cooked,and good quality. When the bill came, I noticed that the half price sangria?s special advertised on the website was not applied, I asked the server about it, explaining that I called in advance and was told that the special was still going strong, and she kindly explained to us that Sangria special is on Monday?s ? I checked it out later and she was right- although mistake was mine, the manager came to our table and honor the Monday?s special on a Tuesday!, well in my opinion this is WONDERFUL service. I'll be back!
Pros: wonderful food, great service, gorgeous outdoor
Cons: any

Just left Koko and had a great time. My date left a high score! Very impressed. Will we come back? Without a doubt. Already making plans for a weekend with friends. If you go there, try the Miami rolls and the white fin tuna. The sangria pitcher was refreshing and moved us to the patio. My lunch date ended up with me calling in to work and enjoying the afternoon with great company.

Formerly located at Sheffield just south of Belmont, Pat's Pizza is a northside staple. They have fast delivery, a heavy hand with the pizza toppings, and an extensive list of Italian entrees. While the thin crust is not my favorite (tasts like a flattened pretzel), others I know think very highly of it.
The cheese they use is very good; it holds all the toppings in place but is still gooey/stringy enough to make me happy. I would like to see more sauce on their pizzas, though.
They often have specials, such as ordering a large (or maybe it's a certain $ amount?) will get you a free 6-pack of soda.

When it comes to Chicago museums, the Planetarium is often forgotten or overlooked. However, it's a great place to spend a day during any season. In the summer, it's also enjoyable to visit the outer grounds, being that it is located on a marvelous part of the lakefront. Inside the exhibits and theatre show will marvel old and young alike. Like most other museums, admission is pricy, but it is definitely worth the visit.

DoGone Fun is amazing! We have an overprotective German Shepherd and they've got her eating out of the palms of their hands. They've got her playing nicely with other dogs, and more important, with people. Isabelle spent her first overnight there and had a blast. She even has a German Shepherd boyfriend! Don't worry--both dogs are neutered!
The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We felt perfectly comfortable leaving Isabelle there and will be doing it again soon. And it was surprisingly reasonable.

I have been bringing my little guy to Stay for about 6 months and he loves it there. Everytime we walk in they treat him like royalty. They call out his name like they've missed him and really dote on him. My little one starts his tail a' waggin. I have boarded him twice at Stay and will continue to do this. When I call to check on him they give me detailed information about him not just "he's doing fine" but tell me who he's playing with and how much he's eaten and really anything I ask they give me a detailed response. When I go to pick him up from Stay it's like he doesn't want to leave. The Staff will pet him and say such nice things about him. No wonder he doesn't want to leave! It's his second home and I would reccomend Stay to anyone looking for a great day care and/or boarding facility.
Pros: Nicest Staff that make your pet feel like royalty
Cons: a little pricey but well worth it

My boyfriend and I are new to the city and ate there last night and it was perfect. The place is huge but it felt private in the booths. The food was great and the service was as well. They are very polite and the pricing is very reasonable. The sangria was amazing too! I highly recommend.
Pros: valet up front, service, food, atomosphere.
Cons: valet is $12 (is that the norm? we dont know because we just moved here)
