    Our waitress was one on the best we ever had. She has a cool name and cannot remember it but it was so beautiful. Very attentive and took care of our table immediately with all our requests. She is a keeper. Food good too. Noticed the prices have gone up alot . And the negative is they still charge 3% on your credit card charge. Not cool .

    We had a truly lovely time at Taurasi. Everyone was so friendly and competent, the food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Servoce was quick, but nobody made us feel rushed at any point. The noise level was moderate, loud enough so others couldn't hear you but you could still hear everyone in your party. We will definitely be back!

    We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!
