"Stopped by this spot while working sales accounts in the area and so glad I did! Nikki was warm and friendly and made me a delicious espresso martini, and the Greek chicken wrap was delicious! My fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy as well! The worst part about coming here was trying to decide what to order! I will definitely be back! Support local!"

"Apple Martini were perfect—smooth, crisp, and just the right balance. The food was delicious from start to finish. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor. Definitely a spot I’d return to."

"Giving two stars only because our sever was amazing! She was attentive and friendly. I had come here a last year and remembered how delicious their martinis were. I’m participating in dry January but two weeks ago I had such a craving that I figured it’s worth breaking. Boy was I wrong. The Strawberry Short was so bitter, It was gross. I don’t know if something was spoiled or if it was made wrong. I mixed it with my husband’s Snickers and it made mine better but ruined his. Next I got the Chocolate Mint and it was disgusting. I couldn’t taste anything but mint, it tasted like mint toothpaste mixed with Vicks vapor rub. Either the bartender had no clue on the ratios of the ingredients or some of the ingredients were bad. I just know this was a total disappointment, especially since I had such a good experience before. By the way Wednesday Half OF Martini. Seriously it won’t cost that much to reprint that."

"I’m reluctant to give a review because I want this place all to myself 😂😂😂 The only thing more amazing than the food here is the staff! So friendly and attentive!! Drinks are perfect and my wife loves the martini selection!!! If you go, say hello to owners Chris & Nikki. They are truly wonderful people!! And the pizza! 👍🏼🥰👌🏼😘"

"This past weekend, I had the pleasure of celebrating my 40th birthday at Illusions Cafe in Des Plaines. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Chris, the owner, was exceptionally responsive and accommodating to all my requests. The overall price was very budget-friendly. The ambiance at Illusions is delightful, and the staff is incredibly pleasant. They truly exceeded all my expectations. If you’re searching for a venue for a special event, I highly recommend this place! Their food was phenomenal too! Thank you, Chris, Monika, and everyone! My birthday couldn’t have been more perfect!"
