Illusion

Stumbled upon this café during a Google search while looking for a place to have a meeting. The young woman who greeted and served us our meal was very sweet and attentive. We came here on a very cold day, but she told me about the outdoor patio and various events they have. Couldn’t decide between several items on the menu as everything looked delicious. Great find in a strip mall. Looking forward to coming back when the weather warms up.

Nice atmosphere, the lady was friendly and attentive. The coffee I ordered was amazing

The waitress honestly had something seriously wrong with her. She never even made eye contact and acted like it was such an inconvenience that we were there. (At 3 pm on a saturday… it’s not like they were trying to close) She didn’t even come back to our table after she left the menus not even to ask if we wanted drinks or to bring water. Also, there were only TWO other table taken so she wasnt busy… Thanks but no thanks we left after 25 minutes of being ignored. If you are looking for a fun bar atmosphere where someone will actually acknowledge you check out the garage in Arlington heights. It’s about ten minutes away

The Eastern European bar in the burbs. Food is decent. Came here a few times during the day to watch a game. Mostly foreigners inside. At night if I remember you should dress more fancy — don’t come in sweats!
Have an outdoor patio that I haven’t tried yet.
Service is very slow and sometimes you can sit for 15 min until someone comes by. Kind of annoying but very typical of these type of euro places unfortunately.
Have a good drink/​beer selection.

Great service. I haven’t been here in a long time and now that I work close by they have a customer for life I’m me. Love the palachinki with shlag. :))))

Delicious! Super slow at 3 pm and excellent gyro and fries! Will definitely come here agin if I’m in the area.

Great place. Best chicken wings I’ve ever had! Everything else I’ve every tried here is very good too. Definitely coming back.

It is a great place to go there and have a drink! They serve food as well and the prices are reasonable. In the summer they have front patio so you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. The service is always fast! I’ve been there many times and so far I have no omplaints.

We got the spicy feta chicken panini w greek fries, and it was fresh and delicious!
Our server Petya was VERY nice and attentive! I would definitely recommend this place!

Nice bar staff but the owner /​mgr was very condescending and rude to me and my party.

This place is excellent! They have a huge selection of everything from coffee, smoothies and liquor to some awesome food. I have tried multiple things on the menu and they were all outstanding. Try the burgers, many different choices with lots of toppings. Ive eaten everything from Calamari, salads and wraps there and like I said it was all great. They have a huge outdoor patio with nice seating and the windows slide open too. The staff is always fast and friendly!!!

I love this place for a relax night with friends or just my husband. Great coffee and multiple options. Delicious food and fair prices. On summer I love seating on their front patio. I was just here last night once again and felt like the customer service gets better every time and their bathrooms are very nice for females is a plus. It is a lil out of my way home but is worth stopping by.

BF and I came here for lunch one day.
The service was SLOW! Literally only 5 people there (including my BF and I)…
Food was okay. Nothing to write home about… I ordered the California Chicken wrap– super bland. No flavors stood out. Dissapointing.
My BF got pierogis and spicy feta dip. Spicy feta dip was good– the pita bread was amazing.
Eh, probably won’t be back. Forgettable and bland food.

This place has a nice laid back European feel to it, there are plenty of televisions and even a projector for catching a game or two. They show sports but it isn’t your typical American sports bar atmosphere. The outdoor seating are is nice and big. Food is tasty and the salad portions are generous. The knock is that the service is a bit on the slow side.

Place is really nice but it’s a honey pot for snitches and undercovers so watch what you say at the bar or you might end up in jail

This place has great salads!!! Tonight I had one of the specials, Asparagus Salad…
A-​MAZ-​ING!!!

Great drinks! The martinis are delicious (the coconut is a must-​try) and actually use a generous amount of alcohol, unlike alot of places that are stingy with the amount of alcohol in girly drinks. The service is ok. They don’t disturb you, but they aren’t super friendly either. We didn’t mind it tho. We had a few of their appetizers– the roasted hummus, spicy feta dip (yumm!), appetizer platter and the seasoned fries. The dips were great and chicken was great according to my friends.
Overall, great place and we’ll definitely be back.

I like to go to that place. A lot of my friends go there too but almost every time I go there is something wrong with the service. The girl with the black curly hair is always in a bad mood. WORST service ever was last week. I will give it another chance and after that i guess we all will go somewhere else to eat and have coffee

Excellent food and drinks. Very good service as well. Extensive drink list and awesome outdoor patio too!

Very inviting space, nice décor, comfortable booths, bad service
Drank: Lemon drop martini — not the best I’ve had, lemony, and very liquory, but tasty
Food: Greek salad with ranch dressing — yummy. The pita chips that came with were great too
The service: horrible! The waitress kept forgetting to bring us more water, she didn’t understand what we were saying to her when ordering, and when she brought us the bill, she never came back to pick up our credit cards, we had to go find her.
The music was all over the place, it went from 90s, to early 2000s, to current, and kept skipping around. Weird DJ.
Overall a good place to relax at during the week with the girls, sip a cocktail and munch on yummy food.
