RAQiRAQi: SCS has some of the best sushi I've had in Chicago. They also make a great martini. Atmosphere might be considered swanky by some, and would be a hit for date night.

Damian D.Damian Denson: It is SO dimly lit, if you're looking for romantic ambiance. Otherwise, you just feel like you're on a date even when you're not. #AWKWARD

Karin K.Karin Kovitvongsa: Awesome ambiance but not BYOB like the one in Bucktown. They have half off bottles of Saki, Wine & Champagne on Mondays and they always bring a complimentary taster to the table :)

Redeye ChicagoRedeye Chicago: The stellar craft beer list alone is reason to visit the new Villains, but the single burger & fries on the menu is one of the finest available in Chicago. Read more.

Joshua H.Joshua Haftel: Unfortunately, all of the food was bland and uninspired. Service was nice and the location was cute, but with such boring food, I'm not going to return.

Kirstjen L.Kirstjen Lorenz: The biryani was very nicely flavored and generous. The maldoun and fried vegetables were also excellent and beautifully presented. Servings are more "family style" than "tapas" in size.

Patrice Y.Patrice Yursik: Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese. Swoon
