Eric’s flexible schedule, and positive spirit is amazing. The snacks are just an added bonus. My sons enjoy their piano lessons and look forward to going each week. They are eager to play new songs that they learn. They are playing them with out reading the music sheets that they start out with. It hasn’t been 4 months yet. Great job Eric.
“In only 2 months I’ve learned more on the piano with Eric Mantel than I did taking 10 years of piano lessons from other local piano teachers.
Eric’s Music School is the best period! No other music school on the planet can even come close to what he offers. I wasted thousands upon thousands of dollars on 1/2 hour piano lessons Eric Mantel is a GOD SEND for people who really want to learn piano.
I have learned quite a bit in a short time. Eric is helpful and encouraging.

I could not be happier with the difficult work Andrew delivered on my bass!
I’ve been going to Andrew for years, he’s done so much great work on my bass, from repairing seam openings, to planing my fingerboard, and even constructing a brand new extension machine which has functioned beautifully. There’s no better place to take your bass in Chicagoland!

Staff is so, so friendly and welcoming, and they offer wonderful music lessons personalized for what I want/need!
A real life music store with someone real to help you. A great place to get your music gear. Check them out.
Fantastic teachers, schooled in a variety of instruments.
It’s a good place to get your kids to start learning how to play an instrument.
Parking is terrible. Some of the instructors are not very good, but a few are..kinds a gamble for your money..no refunds on missed lessons…instructors and staff will tell you anything to get your money oh did o mention terrible parking …make sure you have your walking shoes on
Very rude staff. I approached the counter and asked if I could complete the online registration for music lessons in person. The staff member spoke very rudely to me. When I notified this person of his unprofessional attitude, he told me I had “interrupted [him] while he was doing something important for a customer”. I told him he was so rude that I probably wouldn’t even sign up for the lessons. He responded “fine” and took the paper with my information on it, balled it up and threw it down onto the floor directly in front of me before turning his back to me while I was speaking. Meanwhile, a second staff member stood by watching and smiling. If you enjoy being disrespected, this place will be perfect for you.
** Thank you for your response, Melody Mart. There is no misunderstanding. Don’t backpedal now, keep your same energy as you displayed in person. There were NO customers at the counter and you asked “How may I help you?”. Your unprofessional behavior from that moment forward was totally inappropriate and out of proportion for the situation. Not sure how you can justify throwing a customer’s information onto the floor. Keep your services. I’ll take my business elsewhere.
I love Muzicnet Private or group lessons all types of instruments and genres of music. I love the practice rooms where you can jam out and rehearse for hours! Diverse teachers with patience and big recitals. Love it!!
Great and knowledgeable instructors. Once you are ready and learn the number system, you willl be able to play in any key in no time! Gotta practice tho.
GREAT

Now this place is what one would call “FAMILY” they treat you like you’eve been apart of their family business all of their lives and it shows as soon as you walk into the building, the owners are fantastic and they am to please with whatever cigar need that you have. When you walk towards the back, where there are more comfortable seats it is customary to shake everyone’s hand and introduce yourself including the women so that everyone gets to know you. They are fully stocked at all times with a variety of cigars and brands that you can choose from. They also have a house cigar that is a must try especially the barber pole if you go there tell they them that I sent you and lay back and relax!
Best Cigar In South Suburbs,Prices Are Great,Great Staff On Hand,You Won’t Be Disappointed. I PROMISE YOU For Men And Women,Who Want The Best In Purchasing Cigars
Classy place. Best of the best!
Nice looking shop.
This visit would have been 2 stars or less if not a Sam he made it okay. I stopped going there a while back because counter staff members failed on several occasions to even ask if I needed help or greet me. I met Faruq the owner many yrs ago and wondered why the place was so different well I found out he was very sick and passed this past October he was a great guy. Might stop by again but I can beat their prices in so many places and as a Boomer several places have Senior discounts. Will go back to check in with Sam!!!
Whiskey Expensive to drink at the private Bar
The cigar lounge listed closing hours at midnight on the internet. However, we arrived at 10:56 pm and they said they’re going to close early and we can’t smoke or cigars there. I thought that’s why it was called a cigar lounge. I asked the manager if we could stay just to smoke a cigar for my cousin’s birthday and he said no you guys have to leave. This was my first time coming to the establishment. I won’t go back because you never put out a paying customer. If your business hours fluctuate that’s a way to stop future business. Poor business ethics..
Not sure about the atmosphere in this place.. Definitely too loud.. Cigars are over priced. My experience in this place was a little off. I felt like the owner or manger took my business for granted and left me feeling disgusted.
Their cigars are not properly humidified.
Just look at the picture of my CAO Brazilia. It split and cracked!
Enough said!

Daniel is the best thing about this place!!!!!!!!!!
🙂 great food ~ a bit pricey for my budget ♡
Really good food
Very small and cramped. They food is great, but they were out of desserts overall I will try them again.
Always slow to take your order
Great food
Food is good but service sucks!
Took too long to get our meal
Fries were plentiful and horrid, perhaps the cooking oil needed to be changed. Pound cake wasn’t done. Chicken soup was too thick, that didn’t enhance the so so flavor. Very disappointed.
Always a joy to visit! Great art & vintage finds, wide variety of music, and knowledgeable staff. Check them out when you get a chance
Selection of music is beautiful
Great selection of vinyls! A gem in the suburbs. Very fair prices on albums
Loved it
Love the store and picked up a couple really nice albums today. But when a customer inquires about an “insignificant” $5 record on your sell site, there’s no reason to not respond when you’re aware of the inquiry or to be dismissive. It was listed to sell it.
I don’t go in there much but my son-in-law loves going in there, so I always get him a lot of gift certificates
Went looking for a record shop as my son has taken an interest in vinyl. It’s fairly close being in Flossmoor. Went in, and it looks like they were still moving in with U-Haul boxes full of records everywhere in the front of the store. However, they have been here awhile, so I guess they just keep some stuff in boxes until room opens up to display them. They have room to display way more records but chose to be a furniture store as well. Almost everything in the store that you could possibly sit on has a do not sit tag on it, as it’s for sale. The one chair, a plastic 1 person stool, that had no tag on it, i sat on, then the owner said you cant sit on that, its for sale The prices for the furniture make me think the furniture there will become antiques in the store like the vinyl. They have record players and reel to reel equipment, selling for high dollars but with problems. The vinyl is overpriced for Condition as well. My son found a record and a case to keep his vinyl in, used, glfor $75. Hardly a deal. Seller wouldn’t budge off $65 for the used case in ok Condition. If it was me, I would have left it right where it sat, but he wanted it bad enough, I got it for him. There are definitely stores more reasonable than this, and the only reason I can guess for his pricing, must be high rent here.
