Passero

This small and modern spot serves up creative Chicago-Italian fare, creative cocktails and seasonal specialties. It is located in the adorable downtown Arlington Heights neighborhood.

Ada Street

Ada Street offers a seasonal menu of eclectic dishes and a memorable mix of amazing cocktails. The vibe is electric and the service is excellent. The entrance is a little unusual and hard to find, but consider it an adventure well worth the trip!

Yuzu

Yuzu offers expertly prepared sushi and Japanese style robata grilled dishes in a modern, yet whimsical and relaxed environment. Sushi is presented in artfully designed and tasty sauces. Flame grilled and skewered meats, fish and vegetables are deliciously spiced and perfectly priced. BYOB.
