Best Authentic Restaurants in Calumet City

Top as always! Friendly & professional service, impressive food & drink menu, delicious food and wines. Great atmosphere. The experience of a true Greek tavern at the Mediterranean Sea. This is a regular (neighborhood gem) for us.

My experience at Maple Tree was wonderful! The valet who parked my car was friendly and accommodating and so was the hostess at check in. I had my meal at the bar and Emily was the bartender/server. She was extremely warm and friendly and offered excellent drink recommendations! Service was efficient but not rushed and the music and atmosphere made my experience even more enjoyable. I’m a vegan and I love that they offer a full vegan menu, from starters to dessert! I ordered the cornbread muffins, blackened mushrooms and grits and for dessert, cranberry apple crisp. Every morsel was delicious! Great energy and scrumptious food, I’d highly recommend!

Our server, Dominic, made it a fantastic dinner! He was attentive and in a great mood even though he was working on Christmas Eve. He made suggestions and seemed to know the menu very well. Other servers stopped by the table, as did the chef and the manager to make sure we were happy. There was a surprising number of guests in the restaurant that night and they still made time for us. The Fra Gee Lay was delicious and the leg lamp glass was hilarious! It was my first Christmas Eve without my whole family home and I wasn't sure what to expect. Dominic helped make the night a lot of fun and we had a great time! The food was outstanding - I have been to Fiori many times but it was my son's first time as he lives in Ft. Wayne. He raved about the food and said I didn't do the place justice even though I told him how good it was. My only wish would have been for more holiday decorations. The other side restaurant was very festive, but on the Fiori side you almost didn't know there as a holiday going on.

The food was extremely well prepared. The sushi was fresh. The portions were decent. Size prices were a little more than I would’ve expected to pay for the general items on the menu for the special items and knew the prices were probably as expected.

The waiter was very rude and did not serve 2 of my guest.
