"Always a pleasure to come to the great escape because of their food selection. Their ribs are one of the best in Illinois, fall off the bone great barbecue sauce it’s a total winner. You must also try their French fried shrimp order broasted chicken both are a complement to the ribs and are delicious. Fred Ronden soup one of the best tray you’ll love it. Enjoy"

"Pleasantly surprised. Great looking bar. A lot of food options. Kids pizza was delish. We also loved the shoe string fries. I ordered the spaghetti squash, a clean-eating alternative, although I didn’t live the sautéed tomatoes in the dish. I think we’ll come back."

"I'm surprised by some of the bad reviews, but at the same time, I get it. It's not as horrible as some other reviewers have stated, but it's decent enough. The portions of all the food that was ordered were great. The prices were great. The taste was just decent. Decent enough. But if you take into consideration the portion, the price, and the quality. It isn't a bad spot to grab a quick meal. If I'm in the area, I would stop by again. It wouldn't be my #1 choice, but I would stop by again."

"We’ve always enjoyed supporting this local restaurant. As usual, our most recent visit was an enjoyable experience. Food and service was good, however, we couldn’t help but notice how expensive their drink prices have gone up. I have to say, Galliano’s wins the prize for the most expensive Grey Goose soda I’ve ever paid for 15.25). A single Grey Goose Martini was $18.00! Sadly, we will not be returning to this restaurant in the future. We will support another local restaurant that doesn’t price gouge their local neighbors."

"Server was fantastic . he was fun, engaged with us as customers and had the perfect balance of being attentive but leaving us to enjoy our afternoon. We had brunch and beers. There is a good choice of beers on tap to suit most tastes and the food all tasted great. We had burgers, pancakes, eggs florentine and avocado toast. Couldn't fault the food I wish this was closer to home for us as the beers are better than our local bar."

"I wish I could say we had a 4-5 star rating but my sister, her daughter and I were outsiders who were unwelcome. When we got there, the host (on 6/24 at 8pm wearing a silver dangling earring on his left ear) didn't welcome us nor did he ask us for our name when my sister checked us in. He said, I'll just come outside when a table is ready (It was a rainy night and there were no umbrellas for shelter Maybe he had a photographic memory, I thought, but he took down everyone else's names; or maybe because we didn't have reservations he didn't want to write our names down, but he took the name down of a party of three who didn't have reservations. Nonetheless, my sister reassured us that we'd be seated and if we weren't called before the party after us then we should leave. You see, she had her daughter with us and she is the type to teach her daughter to treat others with respect until they show her they don't deserve respect. So we waited. But after the party after us was seated, she turned to her 19 year old daughter and said, If the party of three after the party after us without reservations is seated then we can leave Moments after she said that, the party of three without reservations was called BY NAME to be seated. So we left. In hindsight it was clear that everyone dining, and all those let in before and after us, were white. We weren't. (My niece is half white and my husbands is too. So having trust in this environment is second nature to us We were the only ones who walked in that night who were treated as if we were unwelcome poorly by the host wearing the silver dangling earring on his left ear (6/24 8pm). That host didn't want our names and made it clear that he had no intention of calling us to a table. We weren't welcome to be seated at Cucina Rustica and our journey to one of the most beautiful places we've admitted to seeing just before walking to this restaurant from the Hilton, just a stone's throw away from stunning red mountains, became untrusting and ugly. We felt defeated and we acknowledged that Cucina Rustica in Sedona casted a shadow on our trip. Thankfully, we were welcomed by Dellepiane further down in the plaza and the service was welcoming and warm. When we shared our experience with our hostess, her nonverbal response communicated it wasn't the first time she heard it. So, we resolved to leave big tips to our waiters during our trip who showed us just how beautiful Sedona could be. It's not just the scenery that graces us when we visit new places, but so too are the welcoming smiles and kind words. Sedona is filled with beauty and kindness, just not at Cucina Rustica. I should note that as we left, my sister was stopped by the host who asked with a smirk if we were sure we didn't want to continue to wait for a table. My sister replied that we wouldn't be staying as he had seated a number of groups who arrived after us before he had seated us. The host then feigned innocence by saying that each group had made reservations prior to arrival. The three of us recognized this to be a bold faced lie as we had overheard multiple (white) groups come in without reservations who had all been asked for their names and later retrieved by name by the same host who had refused to take ours. This lie solidified the fact that we were clearly discriminated against and were unwanted at Cucina Rustica. What was supposed to be a fun girls trip was quickly marred by the disappointing and dehumanizing treatment at Cucina Rustica. Below I have attached a screenshot of a similar reviews posted by people of color who have unfortunately been treated the same as us."

"Outstanding Italian restaurant! Shining stars of the evening were the vongole appetizer, the burrata, caesar salad, chicken parm, and the primavera pasta! I’d come back regularly for a bowl of the clams with their fluffy, garlicky focaccia! The Italian market at the entrance really transports you and completes the experience! The ambience and lighting are perfect and make for a very inviting, warm feeling. The service was next level; thank you Omar! You made our evening a very pleasant and memorable one! He gave us an assortment of cookies, and they were delicious! The chocolate and the pignioli treats… wow! Our whole family had a wonderful time, and we can’t wait to go back and sit out by the fireplace again! Nicoletta’s is great for date night, large gatherings or quick pop in for treats from the market. :"

"The service we received at this restaurant was very friendly and attentive. We chose to split the antipasti for one, which was simple with only cold cuts and two slices of provolone, but it lacked dressing. My companion ordered the lasagne, which was a good size and delicious, although he was informed that it was meatless when it wasn't. I decided on the Veal Marsala with mushrooms, which was tasty and had tender veal (something rare in most restaurants). The portions were generous and reasonably priced. Despite not being in my neighborhood, I would probably come back again."

"We both had the wild mushroom and swiss. Asked for it rare/as rare as they would cook it, came out medium rare. Great sauce on it kept it from being a dry burger. Very messy but very good. One order of fries and one of sweet potato fries, both came out with regular fries. Eric, the manager, realized the order was wrong as soon as he put it on our table and went back to the kitchen to get sweet potato fries. They were okay, not great. Server was very attentive."

"My fiancé and I loved our experience in Portofinos! The staff was attentive, friendly and punctual. We ordered the Calamari and it was delicious! The Auberginen-Rollatini was the best I ever had! The Ricotta cheese really turned out. My fiancée had the chicken french and couldn't lay down his fork. Jennifer was our server and made our experience an unforgettable experience as we wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day today. Thank you."
