This review is for the Akira shoe boutique in the Loop.
Stay far away from this store. Because you will spend ALL YOUR MONEY.
I have never gone in and not walked out with a new pair of shoes. It's like their buyer is this little shoe angel and a little…More »

WOW! I had some extra time today, so called in the morning praying I'd get an appointment in the evening--and this on a Friday when everyone wants to beautify for their weekend. Maybe it's the recession, but I got an appointment.

I have been here twice: once with a HUGE group (I'm talking 20 people here) and once with two people (we sat at the bar). Fabulous both times. While tapas is better with a big group (because you get to try more dishes), it's great with only a few…More »

Fantastic club. Great for a ladies night out, a special occasion, or just dancing. When I went there, it was filled with happy people, but not too many people. It was just full enough that it was comfortable, but not so many that it was disgusting.…More »

I would call this the Italian take on tapas. Every time we go we'll get an order of calamari, and then order from their meat-chese-olives-spreads menu, and get neverending wine. What a delight! Their food is so fresh and LIGHT! You always leave full,…More »
