Brazzaz is amazing. I often go there when I have that extra money to spend. Believe me when I tell you that if I know I'm going there I don't eat all day because I know I have a real treat awaiting me @ Brazzaz. Everyone that will listen I have told about this dynamic affair that is the Brazzaz experience, and now I have them going back for more. the food, salad bar, drinks, staff, & ambiance are one of a kind. If your dining for business or pleasure @ Brazzaz it is sure to bring a smile to your face & it is that type of restaurant you can have a business lunch or family dinner. Either way the experience will surely exceed your expectations. This restaurant is #1 on my list if it's truly authentic Brazilian Cuisine or not.

Great place for Thai, dine in, take out, delivery, always delicious. Pleasantly surprised to find they have a brunch on Sundays, great way to try the menu out. Highly recommend anything with their peanut sauce or green curry.
Pros: Peanut Sauce, Green Curry, Brunch

While the Berghoff closed for a while to become an catering-only establishment, it's back. Both the food and ambiance are excellent--the decor is quite nice.
Pricing isn't too bad. Furthermore, the bread that you get with the meal is excellent--some of the best restaurant-bread I've had. The root beer (as several other reviewers have pointed out) is also excellent, and definitely worth a try.
Finally, if German food isn't your thing, they also offer a variety of mainstream dining options that may better suit your taste. All in all, I'd have to recommend the Berghoff.

This "deli" has a great variety of delicious menu items, including Cuban style sandwiches and delicious and healthy burritos and wraps alongside more traditional deli fare. What really has won my wife and I over to this place is the service, as it is a warm and friendly atmosphere that is perfect for families. In addition, the outdoor patio and indoor/outdoor bar area are very secluded and have the feel of an escape from the City. The weekend brunch offers an incredible variety, and appeared to be popular with the locals.

I attended the most recent Garde Manger Grand Buffet at Kendall College on Nov 6, 2008 and it was a mind-blowing, all you can eat assortment of hors d?oeuvres, pates, mousses, terrines and charcuterie. A plated cobb salad was also available. In addition to these cold items, the hot entrees included Beef Wellington and Shrimp de Jonghe.
As great as the lunch was, the desserts were also to die for. I tried a sliver each of Pear Mousse, Mango Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Opera Cake, and flourless Chocolate Cake, each better that the last. Servers will slice the desserts paper thin if you ask so you can try as many of the dozen or so items as possible. The coffee was also delicious.
This was the first time I had been to the Dining room at Kendall College, so I guess in the back of my mind, I was expecting a school cafeteria experience - but with wine! Well, this is anything but! The 3rd floor space is open and clean with exposed brick and walls of windows. The silverware, crystal and linen rival Chicago's fine dining restaurants.
The total cost per person of $25 included the buffet, one non-alcoholic beverage, and tax. The dining room was BYOB with no corkage fee at lunch. The servers did a great job of refilling the wine and water glasses and removing the plates from the table during my many trips to the buffet table.
Warning: The buffet had 2 seatings - 12:00 and 12:30. The 12:30 reservation is fine if you don't dawdle (like we did). Otherwise, try to get the noon seating so you have time to savor every bite and finish your bottle of wine.
Pros: BYOB w/no corkage fee at lunch, free parking, friendly service
Cons: None

I love Leonas!! I think they have the best fresh tomato and basil personal pizza around. The crust is really thin and crunchy. The bruchette appestizers are really good. And you cant go wrong with any of the pastas!
