I can name a cheaper place in Lincolnwood that makes Mai Tais to die for.

IL law prohibits it.

IL's smoking ban was started recently, right? I was in Chicago for St Patty's Day in 2007 and remember being able to smoke almost anywhere.

Gene & Georgetti's or The Chop House would be my choice or steakhouses. Then sit on the curb and enjoy an afterdinner cigar.
