    Gabby was awesome last night! The owner came and spoke to us after a small hiccup happened and was very personable. Food was on point. Definitely returning!

    This is the Secret Garden....Ratio looks like an ordinary place from the outside. However, the magic happens when you enter. You're greeted warmly before being escorted to your table. The atmosphere is grown and romantic. We were fortunate to have been waited on by Nadja. She knows the menu inside and out, and her joy for Ratio and the food is infectious. We started off with some perfectly made cocktails before the food experience began. Every bite was food perfection. The pairing of spices and sauces were expertly crafted. You will not stop enjoying yourself from dinner to desert. I have never cared so little for how much I was spending. I would have paid more.

    My boyfriend surprised me with a date night and brought me here. Super cute local tapas/Small plate Peruvian restaurant. The ambiance was on point. We didn’t try any cocktails although they sounded delicious. It was a quiet night and Service was great! Food was so appetizing to the eye but tasted just as good. We can’t wait to go back to try everything we didn’t order the first time!

    Food is so different and awesome for date night. My husband and I like high end cuisine and finally found it in Elgin. I like getting a little bit of everything but we go for the drinks. Whether you want a good cocktail or the BEST cocktail I’ve ever had you gotta try it out. Also servers/ bar tender are so nice and easy to be around. A gem.
