Sweetwater rocks! Just today I ordered food and she called me back just to make sure everything I ordered was perfect. They have quickly stolen my long time allegiance to some other downtown establishments.

Not just for the food but for all their participation in local fundraising recently and in the past...PC PANCAKE CAFE (Ed Foundation supporter), JIMBO'S (Hornets football supporter), and 3 CORNERS (Ed foundation, Lemont Atheltic Club basketbal & others). You support us - we support you!

Clara's and Nonnie's. (who comes up with these matchups though? It's like comparing apples and oranges sometimes. Example, Doggie Diner/Charley's, Buffalo Wild Wings/Clara's.

Sorry for the late response. The initial pairings were made at random and the rest are decided by votes.
