Angela: Ridiculously good pastries. One day I want to get a cake from here.
Rosalind Pluta: Got the tiramisu cake for my moms birthday and it was a big hit. I ordered the one made with mousse instead of cake which is fluffier and has great texture!
Chun T: Everything is perfect! I like their cake, macaroons, and croissant! Nice cozy place for a couple coffee here in the afternoon! 😍

Donut Shop · Park West · 15 tips and reviews
Nicole Stahlecker: Vegan gluten free donut was good but more like cake than a donut
Claire Watkiss: The buttermilk old fashion glazed donut is by far the best donut I have ever had. So sweet and cakey and tastes even better warmed up. There are many unique flavors to try such as carrot cake, lemon..
Lizzy Izzi: Very good. Not as sweet as other donuts, which lets the other flavors come forward. I usually go for raised donuts, but the cake donuts are very light and delicious.

Alice Ferris: Try the Lamb With Grapes And Olives - Served with olive cake. Perfectly done. (via @Foodspotting)
Alice Ferris: Try the Tapas - Alinea "tapas"- bocadillo (left, iberico ham and manchego), gilda (top right, anchovy and olive) and patatas bravas (potatoes with chile and garlic). (via @Foodspotting)
Travel Channel: Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods

Tricia Bevilacqua: Always make a reservation, this place is very popular, bc the food is soo amazing!!
Rev "The Rev" 😈: When are they going to add hot dogs to the dessert menu? When you roll them in the chocolate sauce and graham crackers, it looks just like kitty poop in a litter box.
Chicago magazine: Gruyère fondue gives way to seafood, aged beef tenderloin, vegetables, or all three, which you bubble in hot oil at the table. For a sexy finish, dip fruit into a pot of flaming chocolate. Read more.
