“Lake Katherine is amazing. My wife and I take our son for walks over there. You can walk around and view nature. They have a monarch butterfly exhibit that's open in the spring/summer that kids will absolutely love. You can go canoeing in the lake and watch the swans which would be a perfect date with that special someone if you're into that kind of things also with amazing views of wildlife, wild plants, a community garden hidden away in the back that people plant and grow veggies and plants for the local pantry. They have a small book library you can borrow from but please take one, give one if you can. Lake Katherine has a great experience and I'm sure anyone would love it..”

“We got married there in May 2024 and our wedding turned out beautifully! We had a Polish-American wedding and Magda helped us throughout the process and we really appreciated her help and feedback. During the reception, the staff were super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious! Wedding planning is stressful and working with a venue that is on the ball and always responsive helped ease my stress! I highly recommend!”
“A hidden gem. I didnt even know this place was there. My granddaughter dance class was held there. I just took a quick walk through its very nice and super clean very appealing. I said instantly that this is going to be the place for our next Family reunion. The set up is perfect especially with the Hotel being connected. Great location close to everything.”

“Awesome place. They hosted a fight tonight and me and my team competed. I love the old school vibe. It felt real. I'm tired of all these new high tech places. This felt like I was in a rocky movie. Real and original. The ppl running the food bar were so friendly. They gave us a free bottle of water for our fighter and were just supportive to our needs all night. Thank you.”
“This place really took me by surprise. It was clean, owner friendly, 2 floors if needed and great location. I just celebrated my mothers 70th birthday and will definitely recommend this place to anyone.”

“My mom's 90th birthday celebration was there. Everyone loved the venue, and the staff was amazing.A few guests didn't know the black owned venue existed on the Southside of Chicago. It's perfect for intimate affairs. Let's stop running to Cicero for an event. Use our own.”
“Family came together for my grandson’s pre birthday celebration gathering & he had a wonderful time, as for me I was chilling like a granny should. Food was exceptional and service, establishment parking lot, entry way, restaurant area, gaming area & restroom very clean.

“From mom and baby meet up, to story time with Elsa, to hosting/attending birthday parties, Waterlemon is the spot! It’s a super cute boutique for the kids to play but also for moms to hang out. I had my daughter’s second birthday party here and it was so easy and the staff were so helpful! I’ve bought my daughter the cutest tutus, books, and toys so if you just want to go stop in and shop, they have the cutest gift options.”
“Very friendly and professional staff. They are very patient and they make sure the customer is satisfied. It is not our first wedding there and it will not be the last one. A-++”
“Sokol is so cool. I was a member of Sokol Tabor when I was a kid. My mother in law has always been in Sokol her whole life. My kids will be entering tumbling tots come registration period. It's a family fitness gym, activities include: competetive volleyball, gymnastics, calisthenics, dance and more. I camped at Sokol camp as a youth in upstate New York. You make life long friends, memories and connections through this amazing orginization. Czech it out ;)”
“Edit: Adjusting my rating since the security was not yours. Appreciate the response. Look forward to visiting again.Great DJs, excellent bartenders and awesome environment, but it was entirely eclipsed by security. My only ask is they try to be a bit more welcoming and to brush off those hospitality skills a bit. Thank you for providing a venue close to the stadium for afterparties, it saved us a lot of time and money from having to Uber into the city each night.”

8800 W 159th St, Orland Park“Georgio's is an amazing place to have any banquet or professional event that you can think of or name. I recently received a school safety award at their location and it was phenomenal. Let's keep in mind that I have did a ton of different photography events such as weddings and anniversaries and professional events here but this was the first time I was ever a recipient of their amazing service. The event was the Archbishop James P Lyke African-American male image award and there were at least 700 people for this event and the place had room for everyone. The location had spaces for the recipients of the award to get prepared and take pictures not to mention the main lobby where other people could still take pictures and check in. The entire experience was amazing and I'm sure if you checked out reviews from other people who were there they were also say the same thing. Ask for the food it was pretty well seasoned. The rainbow sherbet was world class. I know that sounds interesting but that rainbow sherbet was everything. This all around experience was one to remember.”
“I attended a special event at the Mansion with Geoffrey Baer for WTTW. The place is very cool. Some of the rooms have been restored to their original furnishings and some are bare. The library, chapel, and hidden staircase are highlights of the mansion. The weather was not good for outdoor activities on the day of my visit, but the grounds are nice and would make a great place for a walk on a nice day.”

“We recently hosted our Son's 4th birthday party at BIG and it was a huge hit! We had 30 kids under the age of 8 and the staff was so accommodating to all ages! So many parents said it was one of the best birthday party venues they have been to and that after, their kids asked to have their party there too. We will definitely be back!”
“Nice venue, bathrooms on lower level but there is an elevator. Some of the chair covers were not clean, staff very accommodating and friendly. Food was seasoned well and served hot.”
