Everest-great food rather horrid service
Had dinner at Everest.I and my boss loved the room and the food,our guest(picky eater)did not so not a place for those who like plain food.
We had a problem with the service however.We found our server to be very snooty and his "let me explain this as if I were talking to small children from the ghetto" tone got real tired real fast.And the tone got even chillier once it was discovered that we were not drinking that night.
Tab for 3(no booze or wine)was around $400
It could have/should have been great.

Last Monday of the Month Oyster Deal (2010)
just got the following email from Shaw's
Even though some of these months are not "r" months, I know Mrs Sweet Willie & I now have a standing date for each last Monday of the month at Shaw's Schaumburg to take advantage of this. A bottle of champagne & 4 dozen oysters, what a meal !!
Starting on May 31st—and continuing on the last Monday of every month for the duration of 2010—Shaw’s Crab House will celebrate its Silver Anniversary in style—at both Chicagoland locations! Loyal customers and new Shaw’s diners alike will enjoy a landmark Last Monday of the Month Oyster Deal as a thank you for their patronage. Dig in on the Monday celebration: $.25 raw Oysters on the half shell. The by-the-piece oyster special will take place in the Oyster Bar from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. served throughout. And because Shaw’s opens all its oysters upon request, kindly limit per-person orders to two dozen at a time, so our shuckers can keep up!

Wonderful find, thank you!
The typical year end $25 bonus promo is back at LEYE. http://www.leye.com/gift-cards
To Note: I was reading the fine print, it stated that the bonus certs were not valid after 3pm. I called them asking if that meant that the bonus certs could not be used for dinner. The agent stated that the print was a mistake and should say "bonus certs are not valid after 3pm on Saturdays", she also went on to say this would be corrected.
Personally I'll wait until it is corrected on their website or until I can see the T&C's on a bonus cert at one of their restaurants before I buy this year.

Specifically with these bonus $25 ones, they expire in April, but if you don't use it, they will accept it again the following year during the same January-April period (this is all on the website under the gift card FAQs).

Looks fixed now. They have a really good history with gift certificates. They don't consider them to expire ever. If you found an old cert from 30 years ago, they'd take it.

Paris Club
I ate at the new LEYE restaurant Paris Club the other night. The waitress described it as "French-style tapas," which is pretty accurate. Because it's tapas-style, things come out as they are ready. The food was great, but be warned that the menu leans pretty heavily on pates and terrines, which is off-putting to some people. We ordered about five items and split them between two people, and it was more than enough food. Despite it being very new, the service was friendly and efficient.
