    The duck confit was perfect, never had better duck in my life. Gnochhi and Chantelle mushrooms was outstanding too although the gnocchi itself was flavorless (the sauce and mushrooms mad cup for it). Scallops were good but oversalted. Waiter was great. good wine recommendations. Happy to have a place like this in Western Suburbs. too few options for a great meal like this

    Great dining experience every time I go to Posto 31. From the cocktails to dessert, and everything in between, it's fantastic. My table had the smoked old fashioned and non-alcoholic margarita and enjoyed both. Then, Sunday Salad and Simple Salad - both were great and the portions are huge. The salads are definitely share'able and I appreciate our server for telling us that before we over-ordered. Then, entrees were the Pasta a la Posto - one made without bacon for the vegetarian at my table. You cannot beat homemade pasta. This was an unforgettable meal.

    Maya Del Sol has absolutely become our most favorite restaurant. The food is interesting, delicious and always piping hot. The servers understand the need to be GF and know the menu well in that regard and I’m grateful that in addition to knowing the GF details alert the kitchen on my behalf. I love that there are different price points from $30 entrees to many options in the $20’s. All of the wait staff and bussers are friendly and attentive. They always check back in after the food has been served!
