We went to Santa Baby Bar for the first time today. It was such a fun place to go! The staff were so friendly and helpful and our kids had a ton of fun taking pictures. Portions were huge and not crazy expensive. Super fun family outing!

My friend and I had a fantastic experience at Daisies last night! I moved to Logan Square about four months ago and this restaurant came highly recommended by so many. The ravioli and the rigatoni were absolutely divine! So wonderful to have this gem just a few blocks away. Highly recommend!

We rarely get over to White Castle so this was a treat to have fresh sliders. We were 10 minutes early for our 8:30 pm reservation and so we only waited 5 minutes. Service was prompt and afterwards they were kind enough to take a picture for us.
