2.0 of 5 stars. Great selection however, for the price point you would expect the owner to leave her attitude at home. Service is terrible due to this and the overall it is not a very friendly atmosphere. Its too...

Yelp.com Review - by julie e.

1.0 of 5 stars. When you massively overpay for something, you should at least be able to expect decent service. But I guess that's too much to expect.I called a week ago to check on my order, and they said it would...

4.0 of 5 stars. This place was able to re-lens my rimless frames (which every other place told me they wouldn't do). So I gotta give this place high marks for can-do attitude. The owner has some personality, but I...

2.0 of 5 stars. Funky eye frames, but a tad bit too funky for me. Not an ounce of customer service, but it's a neat place to stop by to look at their different types of frames. Oh, and did I say pricey for cheap...

Yelp.com Review - by Brian Q.

5.0 of 5 stars. After visiting pretty much every eyeglass boutique in Chicago, I finally arrived at a decision at Eye Want. They were kind enough to indulge me as I browsed for frames there 2 or 3 times. Each time...

4.0 of 5 stars. Yes, they're expensive. No, they don't take insurance. However, they'll give you an itemized bill if you want to submit on your own. Plus, they've got an awesome selection of frames and very...

2.0 of 5 stars. I didn't not feel comfortable walking in this shop. Personally, I like when you are free to handle the frames and try on as many as you like on your own time. The frames were just a little too funky...

Great unique eye wear.

Who ever wrote that last review was most likely one of the angry stroller pushing chocolate lab having yuppies that have invaded the area. I took away one of the stars on the rating because if you go to that...

Cheap decor, bad service, expensive eyewear

For starters, I felt like i was walking down the halloween aisle in Walgreens when I walked through the door. I know it's October right now, but the place always looks like this - tacky. Secondly, the woman...

Sadly agree with the rude and arrogant comments

I've purchased 5-6 pairs of eyeglasses from Eye Want due to their location and selection. While Annette can be helpful, she also can be rude and come off as arrogant. I've heard her on phone calls be very...

Coolest ambience, broad selection, helpful service

OK, granted, it was a couple of years ago, but Annette (the boss) was very co-operative and helpful. She offered me a beer as I walked in (!). I assume she eyeballs you to see what kind of person you are and...

4.0 of 5 stars. Not a place for the masses- but if you truly want to make a statement, this is your best shot. The have very original/artistic frames. The only negative was the pretentious staff- how sad.
