I recently dined at Delta Restaurant in Chicago, and it was an exceptional experience! I started with the crab Rangoon, and it was absolutely delicious. Crispy on the outside with a flavorful, creamy filling, it set the perfect tone for the meal. For the entrée, I had the shrimp and grits, and it was to die for. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the grits were so creamy and flavorful, complementing the dish perfectly. Every bite was a delight, and nothing was left on my plate! The flavors were rich, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Delta for a memorable dining experience!

Always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Bluegrass. The hosts are so gracious, the food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the orange chicken and the smoked chicken which is a Tuesday night special. The latter is served with the most scrumptious corn pudding. Our friend had the tilapia which she really enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any menu choice there.
