We always love dining at Eddie V’s on Kirby. It is such a beautiful setting with tables spread out. You can actually hear your friends talk. The food is so delicious. Our waiter made an excellent suggestion. He was perfectly attentive. We plan to make this one of our regular places.

Had such a lovely evening at MaKiin. Not only was this the best Thai food I have EVER had in my life, but the service was incredible (I wish I remembered their names, the two servers were perfect), the ambience was amazing and the whole experience was magical.
