The room we had had a bathroom the size of my old apartment. Luxury all the way, including a 4 star chief at the restaurant downstairs! They pay attention to every last detail, leaving your wanting for nothing at all.
It is expensive, very, but for a special romantic get-away, you can't really do better than getting one of these luxury rooms and treating yourself to some truly first class room service!

Since I don't live in the city, I only get a chance to go to the Smart bar about 2-3 times a year, usually after a Metro show.
This is a great little club, with dark lightening and cool little booths for sitting. The DJ's can be very good, or they can be really bad, it all depends.
They have a good booze selection, though it is, of course, expensive. It usually costs 10 bucks to get in, i believe, unless you have tickets for a Metro show for that night.
The club can get very crowded and smoky.
The lead singer of smashing pumpkins brought Robert Smith of the Cure here last year.
Oh ya, last time I was there it was about 70% men to 30% women.

Another "American" restaurant with a nice selection of sandwiches, salads, and meat entrees. I was, though, impressed with their beer listings.
I love ale, and they have my favorite Irish Ale on draft. They actually have a nice big bar area separated off from the rest of the restaurant, so I have a feeling I may be going back there at some point, even if only for a Smithicks.
I had a really good Portabella mushroom sandwich with spinach and tomatoes. The fries were very good.
One complaint: We ended up sitting in a booth, and they have it so that there are two booths right next to each other. This basically means you are sharing a table with the other people at the other booth. As soon as the other people sat down we lost all our privacy. I would recommend getting a table.

Curly's is a nice pub/restaurant. Though in a small space, it has a table section and a bar area. It also has a really nice beer garden out back.
They have a typical "American" selection of food on their menu, from hamburgers to chicken sandwiches, etc. They have a nice beer selection, and the staff is always very friendly.
They also have live music. As it is a small space, it can get very, very crowded.

This place is wonderful. The food is always very good, the service friendly. The only real draw back is that it is nearly impossible to get a table on the weekend. The place is always so crowded that sometimes you can't even find a parking spot! This has happened to my husband and I a few times, forcing us to just go elsewhere.
I've never had anything but breakfast here, so I can't comment on the rest of their food, but they sure have one terrific breakfast menu!
They are only open from 6-3.

But it has some good stores, including a Carson's Furniture Gallery in a strip mall. The main Carson's doesn’t have the best selection of stuff, but it is conveniently located to just pop in if you really need something.
There is also a good Von Maur here, as well as an Aerosoles, Naturalizer, and Victoria Secret (though if you want to go to Victoria Secret, you might as well go down Butterfield a little further and go to the bigger store at Oak Brook).
The food court has a wide selection given how small the mall is.
If you really want to shop, I recommend going to Oak Brook. More high end stores, but they have everything and you can really browse.

I've been going to this place for over 10 years. It has this wonderful feel to it, and the food is very authentic and delicious. They put some seasoned vegt on the table with chips, be mindful of it, it can have a real kick!
I have always had good service here, and the fish is really good.
Don’t let its strange location or outside appearance fool you; this place has terrific food in a charming atmosphere.

This place has an outdoor patio feel to it, and is charming, though a bit "big" for me. The service is good, as is the food.
My only real issue I have with the place is that that one night we were placed in a backroom (smoking, I think), and they ended up bringing in a kids little league team. What bothered me the most about this was that we had just sat down to our meal, and I kind of felt like the manager should have moved us to a different part of the restaurant. There were 10 adults in the party, and like 15 kids. The adults happily drank their margaritas, while the kids ran wild. The adults, btw, didn’t even sit with the kids. It made for a nice meal.
However, I really enjoyed my tostadas!

They are conveniently located and reasonably priced. They also provide good service, what more do you want!
They are even agreeable if you use a different tow service.
Why use a dealer when you can use a local shop!

I also found the staff to be helpful. I purchased a frame for a picture I wanted to give my parents a few years back. I arranged with them for my parents to pick between a few different frames I had already selected. It worked out wonderfully, and we were all happy with the end result.
