India House- Chicago, IL

Kim's Review- I thought the downtown location we visited had a nice ambiance. It was very relaxing and well lit. Of course, what made it even better was that Rich took me there for Valentine's Day. The food was good. I was a little disappointed that the entree was not served with rice. The pricing was a bit high for what was offered, but the selection was extensive. I would go back for a special occasion, but remember that I need to order rice separately to make our meal complete. After a bottle of wine....the rice didn't matter. I had a great time with my Valentine. It was very romantic.

Wishbone- Berwyn, IL

Kim's Review- I've been to Wishbone's two other locations in Chicago and I have to say that this location is my favorite. It's less crowded and has a hometown feel. There was no long wait like the other locations. I also liked the interior, the decor is cozy and has the feeling of being in a small diner- trendy artwork, tufted leather seats, bright natural light. The food was excellent and well priced. I am happy to see Wishbone branching out into other neighborhoods!

Rich's Review - The first time I ever had a southern breakfast, I was blown away. I never ate anything so good (that's the thought I had at the time). Fifteen year later, I've been searching (and waiting very impatiently) for a place in Chicago that offered a real southern breakfast. Breakfast at Wishbone was the closest thing I've ever had to that first breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were really good (using sausage gravy with hardy chunks instead of the ham based gravy that seems to be popular these days). While I admit that I haven't gone past this dish, I'm excited to taste what else they have to offer.
