I found out about this place, Thyme & Honey, from my grandmother. They have an outdoor patio which is dog-friendly. Something unique about this Greek-style diner is that the server, knowing that our water was automatically coming to our table, offered water for our dog before asking us for our drink order.
I ordered the London Broil with mushroom sauce and baked potato, which came with a choice of Chicken Noodle or today's special which, Lentil soup.
The soup had small bits of tomato which gave it a summer feel. It had great seasonings that made me feel comfortable on this perfect 75 degree night.
Even though we sat outside, the fish tanks i saw when i went to the washroom add to the casual indoor atmosphere with linen table coverings that make it seem expensive when it really is affordable. I like that there is no kids menu, and that there is a special menu section for 'Vegetarians' in addintion to MANY other regular vegetarian items.
The London Broil was excellent. At most restaurants, a steak meal is not satisfying, but here the portions are very large. The steak was juicy and the mushroom sauce adds some great tang to the meal. The steamed broccoli, kale, zucchini, onions and green peppers that came as a garnish paired well with the dish.
My parents both ordered versions of the baked ravioli which also came with the vegetarian lentil soup and they both loved it.
Our server had just met Whitney Miller from master chef, my compliments to Jessica for great service. Overall, the diverse menu, the affordable pricing and huge portions make this place a great thyme!

Thyme and Honey only recently moved to Forest Park. It used to be in Oak Park, just south of the Green Line. I was so sad when it moved over! But they kept the menu, the atmosphere, and the general awesomeness that they always had :) I'll have to try the London Broil!
