I went to Dragonfly for dinner on Saturday. We had a reservation for 7 at 8pm. We had to wait about 15 minutes once we got there because it was a full house. The manager bought us our first round of drinks because it was my friend's birthday. That was one of the nicest gestures any restaurant has ever extended to us. Usually you only get a free dessert (which we also got at the end of the meal). The food was excellent. We ordered the Honey Walnut Prawns which was highly recommended from our server and it's one of the best dishes I have ever had. I will definitely go back just for that dish. The decor is gorgeous and the unmrellas on the wall was very unique. One con was that it was a bit noisy in the restaurant. Everyone was talking very loud. Next time I will try to go on a less busier night.
Pros: Honey Walnut Prawns, decor and manager bought us 7 drinks!
Cons: Noisy when a full restaurant

The Bjeweled store is an inviting boutique. A Gold Coast experience with diamond internet pricing. With neighbors like Bulgari and Tiffany they have to be good. Shari goes toe-to-toe with the best of the best. Shari's style is casual and thorough. Shari is a very talented designer. Her design style is head to hand.
No CAD just an artist developing individual pieces for each person. Very personal journey. Shari sketched the prototype engagement ring while we discussed details. Her incites were well thought out. Everyone in town talks custom design; however, Shari has the real cred to deliver. We watched her execute some jewelry techniques. We saw her Basel Exhibition designs. She brought an artists perspective to the ring design process. Chidexx delivered on the price. Nobody beat their price. Shari is a special person.
Pros: Comfortable, Price, Personal Service, Great Ideas
Cons: None

I was referred to Rachel by a friend of mine after seeing way too many hairstylists & always walking out of each place feeling like the stylist was happier with my haircut than I was. I was looking for a short cut and something unique. I had had short cuts before at other places and had walked out crying. Rachel was FANTASTIC - the consultation alone was amazing! She was incredibly thorough and listened to what I wanted and also gave honest input as to what would and would not look good on me based on bone structure, hair color, neck, shape of face, complection, forehead etc. I LOVE my haircut and have NEVER received to this day as many compliments on my new style. I feel like a new woman! I am handing out her cards to women and men constantly. THANK YOU RACHEL!!!!! Your are the BEST!!!

What I can only imagine is the best bridal boutique in Chicago, ah, White Chicago. From the moment we entered the subterranean, clean modern showroom we were completely delighted. All glass and white lacquer, and complete with a place for your shoes and a selection of fresh white socks. My entourage and I called ahead and asked if we could celebrate with some bubbly. Not only was the woman on the phone courteous, but she invited us to come early and enjoy one of their private lounges while we toast. We popped the cork and toasted and began dress shopping the way it was meant to be. While sitting on the white modern sofa, in the all white room, I handed out small cards to each of my best friends asking them to be my bridesmaids, "check yes or no." It was so adorable. I have a picture of each carefully checking yes. Then myself and a few of the ladies were invited back to their gallery to take a look at their selection of new samples, and once wed dresses. The selection was fresh and designer, and most of all gorgeous. Even my ring left happier after a fresh cleaning!
I tried on each dress and walked the catwalk before the ladies, and it was super fun. The saleswoman even suggested I show off the ones I didn't love, so that my friends could at least see them. She understood that it was all about the experience, not just the dress. Each gown had things to love and like. But in the end, it was the last one that won my heart. I had actually seen it on the bride before me as she pranced down the catwalk in it. I can't imagine what she thought when we all pointed and screamed, that's the dress! Thank you White Chicago for such an amazing, and perfect experience!
Pros: Amazing service, dream experience
Cons: Limited Selection, but who cares?

If you go here for sushi, you'll feel more like you walked into a night club sort of place. It has a very night club sort of feel and the drinks and martinis here are awesome! They play some great, fresh music here which puts you in a great mood. As for its namesake, the sushi here is one of the best around. I'm a big fan of sushi and have tried many places in Chicago. This place is definitely in my top five list. The service can be a bit slow here at times, but that is really okay with me because the food and drinks here are awesome and so is the atmosphere.

With all the wonderful restaurant choices in Chicago this is not the most likely choice. I will tell you that if you take your children (of any age) once, they will never want to eat anywhere else! The style is 50's diner...complete with plastic booths and Elvis pictures on the walls. The menu follows the theme with burgers, fries, meatloaf and mashed potato dinners and is always very good, but certainly not gourmet. It is the cast of characters that makes this so unique and fun. The wait staff is dressed much like the cast of "Grease" only more so. They do not hesitate to yell at you to "wait behind that line, I'm not ready to seat you yet!" or "you want a vanilla coke? Sicko!" They are known to jump up on the counters and burst into Sha Na Na songs. Our first visit the kids were small and they couldn't believe the waitress was yelling at mom for not cleaning her plate. They loved it! This is a great place to take a lunch break in Chicago. It will keep your kids entertained; you won't leave hungry and best of all it won't break the bank! Ed Debevic's is located at 640 N. Wells St., downtown.

I finally found someone who understands my hair - better than I do! Trish at SineQua Non was recommended to me by my daughter, of all people, which means you are never too old to learn.
Despite Chicago weather, the change of seasons, and business versus casual, Trish has helped me find a way to work my hair into my life. Finally....
