Restaurants in Chicago

“Tapsilog, tocilog, fried fish, halo halo.”

“My Fiancé and I discovered this restaurant after watching “Somebody Feed Fill” and were inspired and intrigued by Sarah’s restaurant and craftsmanship. We had our eye on getting reservations here for a very long time and we ended up landing lunch reservations for my Fiancés birthday (whom is also a Chef). We just happened to be seated by the expo line near the kitchen where we saw Sarah working. From start to finish our server Rose, and Sarah made sure our experience was personalized special. Sarah even signed the cookbook we bought and menu! Everything was on point from the food to the service. I can see why it’s so hard to get a reservation here! If we could rate our experience higher we would. We greatly appreciate the hospitality and dedication that this restaurant displays!”

“Wow. The most incredible squid ink chitarra!! Such a great atmosphere with super friendly staff. Highly recommend. Our plates were empty without a morsel left. Also recommend the Penicillin mixed drink. Definitely put this on your Chicago bingo card.”

“The waitstaff was super knowledgeable and quick. Both my partner and I are gluten free and we felt safe and the food was delicious. It's the only time I've ever liked mushrooms!”

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕”

“Amazing, a perfect evening.”

“Yana was the best, very friendly and made my first time here so special. when i told her it was my first time here she was gave me good recommendations and answered all the questions i had i recommended you sit in her section when you are you!!!!!!!”

“.great experience always.”

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!”

“The tour was amazing! If you’re lucky enough to get Chris, you won’t be bored or ill-informed! I love the sip and stroll style of this tour and it gives a personalized experience as well as a small town feel. I haven’t shut up about it! It’s a great gap filler in the day downtown, whether you’re local or visiting! One of the best spur of the moment plans!”

“Absolutely delicious!! Can't wait to come back”

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience”

“Nha Hang gets a lot of hype and it lives up! The pho tai is absolutely phenomenal. It is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. A massive portion that also has an appropriate amount of noodles and beef. The broth is pure and so impeccably balanced. It was an absolute pleasure to eat. The vegetable spring rolls are also good. I cant wait to come back!”

“A treat for all of the senses! My introduction to The Gundis was a Sunday breakfast. What a beautiful feast was laid before me, my husband and a local friend who we were visiting. We ordered the Kurdish breakfast for two plus an order of baklawa crêpes. An array of colorful, tantalizingly-scented dishes soon filled our table. Superb savory and sweet flavors awaited our taste buds. All of us were amazed by the diverse deliciousness. The atmosphere and service were also excellent. It was truly pleasurable to indulge in a breakfast feast like no other. My only complaint is that I live too far to return often. Kudos to this Kurdish delight.”

“Amazing food, great hosts and amazing service!!”

“Wonderful Birthday/ Father’s Dinner tonight…Ambiance, Food and Staff absolutely incredible!!! John and Cole, along with the rest of the Ciccio Team are the consummate professionals!!!”

“Food was delicious. Everything we had was amazing.”

“Solid omakase experience. Majority of fish and Wagyu is sourced from Japan three times a week; therefore, freshness is guaranteed. Able to contend with the “heavyweight omakase” out there.”

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.”

“We had a lovely dinner at Rose Mary last night and it was the most fabulous meal that we have had in some time. Amazing service, beautiful venue and the food was just so good. Simple but very complex; rustic but refined. And the service was impeccable. What a glorious end to our experience in Chicago!! Very highly recommend it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“We went last night to celebrate our anniversary and had an incredible meal. We did have a short wait for our table, but the staff was very apologetic and delivered outstanding service. Without us mentioning the delay, the hostess brought us champagne to apologize for our table running behind. Once seated, we received another complimentary drink and an appetizer. They made us feel truly special. The wait did not bother us at all, yet the team still went out of their way to make it right. Some of the best service we have ever experienced at a restaurant. 10/10”

“Alla Vita is an exceptional restaurant for several reasons. First, their menu offers a delicious variety of authentic Italian dishes, prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Additionally, the service is impeccable, with a friendly and attentive staff that ensures every diner has a memorable experience. The combination of exquisite flavors, charming ambiance, and excellent service makes Alla Vita an outstanding choice for any occasion.”

“Great staff and every thing we ordered was absolutely fantastic.”

“Precioso lugar,con variedad de opciones para comer”

“Gilt Bar "gets it". A foodies playground. Top notch flavor and beautiful decor throughout. The Ron Zacapa 23 Rum is 🤌🏾 Oh, and don't forget to take a few pics in the photo booth downstairs 📸”

“Esme is truly an experience to have. We did the menu and the wine pairing and it was amazing. From the presentation to the food was unbelievable and will definitely do it again as it changes quarterly”

“Amazing freshest sushi , best in the town , great service , and nice ambiance.”

“We had a great meal at Fiya. The Chicken Schwarma was excellent and I really enjoyed the side salad I ordered. It had a burst of flavor in every mouthful. Service was very attentive.”

“We enjoyed everything whatever we ordered”

“Intimate place with great food and service. Chicken parmesan and rigatoni were delicious. If I lived closer, I certainly would be a regular.”

“I loved it. Have been passing by this place since over a decade ago and never had the time. By coincidence I checked it out a few days ago and I ordered a double cheeseburger with onion rings and it was delicious! I also had a chilli which I recommend if you’re into dips! Very good service. Modest prices.”

“Is best polish around.....”

“This is a cute old-fashioned looking diner! The food was great and pretty affordable. Chunky is the best - it’s been a long time since I’ve had a server go so above and beyond to provide a good experience. Make sure you go when she’s working!”

“I love the shrimp, always fresh and very delicious every time!”

“The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The pool has floaties and toys for littles, that was a nice touch. It is not super warm for being heated but wasn’t terrible. Our only complaint was breakfast at ETA. On our second morning we were informed that it would be a buffet that day and the next day, and the cost would be $29.99 for each adult and $15 for kids 12 and under. The buffet was underwhelming and the equivalent to a free continental breakfast you’d get at a Best Western. It was cheap bacon, the powder egg mix, if you get what I’m saying, definitely not $30 quality. There were other guests at the buffet that were as unimpressed as us.”

“I been coming to this area for over five years and I like that captain hooks is open 24 hours. I like the service of the staff and the food is always hot and delicious.

Kid-friendliness: There are kid meals

Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking available”

“Fantastic breakfast, amazing service food was great 👍”

“This place is an absolute hidden gem!! I'd gotten a ribeye steak with eggs and hash browns for $16.00!!! And that's in the city! If I was to stop down in them Podunk little towns or county's it'd cost me $25.00 minimum!”

“White Palace Grill is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner George and Peter is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing meatloaf. Must come back. 10/10.”

“NICE PLACE relax everyone relax me”

“my place to be with good people”

“For fans of a messy, delicious sandwich, their famous Jim Shoe sandwich would satisfy. This sandwich was loaded with meat and flavors, making it hard to finish without any parts falling out. The food came out quickly, and the place is cash-only.”

“I was going to another place for breakfast this morning while visiting Chicago; I don't know places well. But there was no parking there, and ... I saw plenty of parking near the Golden Apple. So hey, I stopped. Glad I did! VERY friendly, comfortable, nice staff and customers too. The food was fast and delicious. I had a chorizo breakfast burrito, it was big, and full of good stuff, not just a bunch of beans. My waitress was friendly, and quick to refill my coffee. I'm tagging this on Google Maps for the next time I'm in town.”

“This subway blew my expectations. They were so nice and gave me really good portions of everything in my sandwich. It was really clean inside and good seating and bathrooms.”

“I was downtown craving boba at like 7pm, when a lot of boba shops were closed, and this vending machine came up on google, so I decided to try it! I got the roast oolong milk tea with agar and it was sweet and creamy and tasted the same as what I I would expect fresh from a boba shop. My only complaint is that I wish the different bubble teas were clearly labeled right in the vending machine. Instead, you have to go through and click on each one on the touch screen to find out what they are.”

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!”

“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !”

“My mom and I were in Chinatown looking for a place to have some great fried rice. Yao Yao came up when we searched Google and then we stumbled on it as we were walking so we decided to give it a try. It was clean, spacious and the decor was so cute! Upon reading the reviews further, we found out that this place’s specialty is their pickled fish and that it’s a Michelin star restaurant but we didn’t end up getting it. We ordered their shrimp fried rice with extra veggies, their shrimp Lo mein and their chili chicken. We were disappointed about the fried rice as it barely had any flavor and the shrimp for both the fried rice and Lo mein was lacking in flavor. We kept adding soy sauce and chili oil to make the rice taste decent but the other dishes were good! The chili chicken was very delicious and full of flavor!! We would go back again for the Lo mein, the chili chicken & to try the pickled fish next time but not the fried rice.”

“By far the best 🍔 I’ve ever had! The fusion of flavors 🤯”

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!”

“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!”

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.”

“The family that runs both stores are lovely, and very kind. My cousin and I were impressed by how tasty and smooth their chai was. We both think its the best we've ever had.”

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago”

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun”

“I'm from Iowa, took a little weekend trip to Chicago. A friend told us we HAD to try Lula's. SO thankful we did. I will be traveling back to Chicago just to take my mom here. Outstanding service from every single employee, incredible food, and just overall 10/10. Absolutely recommend.”

“We LOVE ❤️ Milly’s meticulously hand crafted pizza! You can absolutely taste the love and care that goes into their food-well worth the wait to experience this deliciousness!! Keep up the great work we’re customers for life!”

“I often seek out experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants when traveling, and Chicago has its fair share of choices. I have dined several times at 3-star Alinea pre-pandemic, so I chose to book 2-star Oriole for this trip; it has perhaps the most buzz recently (ie, from Infatuation). Like Alinea, it's not just a meal, it's an experience, although less theatrical and perhaps more food-focused.\n\n Unassumingly located in a former warehouse on an alley, one enters the building via a small outdoor patio. There is a small reception area, part of which is a former freight elevator, where you are served a chilled tea. The elevator reminded me (and apparently other guests) of the Tower of Terror ride at Disney World's Hollywood Studios. The rear of the elevator opens up from the middle (as freight elevators do) and parties are individually escorted into the restaurant. Aside from a lounge area for waiting diners, there are 3 areas through which guests travel and take bites--the bar (3 bites), the open kitchen (one bite), and the dining room.\n\nWe may have seen Executive Chef/owner Noah Sandoval, but he blended in with the entire kitchen team, which was not small. The menu consisted of 14 courses/bites which surely change often; you are given a copy of your particular menu at the end of the experience, including whichever beverage pairing you had, if any. I had the non-alcoholic beverage pairing, which mostly consisted of highly complex tea-based drinks. A server told me all staff members participate in creating these elixirs.\n\nSince the courses surely change, it seems silly to list them all. I will say the 3 bites we had at the bar were all with raw or barely touched seafood and had broths so delicious we were slurping from the serving vessels like they were teacups. \n\nThe single bite served in the kitchen is perhaps the most memorable and unlikely to change with time. It's a Hudson Valley foie gras mousse served over toasted brioche and topped with blueberries--OMG!\n\nThe courses in the dining room were all fabulous and multi-layered. My faves were probably the Matsutake custard, the Wagyu ribeye and the carrot cake. \n\nOverall a pricey but unique and enthralling experience.”

“Fantastic food and service! Have been a few times, and it never disappoints!”

“I finally got to try Rubi’s on 18th and let me tell you. OMG! I do believe these are the BEST tacos, I've EVER had. The cashier was super nice and friendly, the food was fresh and there was a lot of it for the price. I can’t wait to go back already. I got 4 steak tacos, strawberry horchata, and guacamole and chips. Thank you guys! Monica Miranda! See you next time.”

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO”

“I went to Indienne with friends to celebrate 50th birthdays. The experience did not disappoint. Indienne delivered an exceptional dining experience with its tasting menu. The food was truly phenomenal—beautifully presented, thoughtful, and layered with bold yet refined flavors that felt both creative and rooted in tradition. Each course was memorable with different takes on recognizable dishes. While the drinks were just okay and didn’t quite rise to the same level as the food, they also didn’t detract from the overall experience. The tasting menu alone makes Indienne well worth the visit, especially for anyone who appreciates inventive, high-quality cuisine.”

“The food is delicious and the drinks are great!! The atmosphere was amazing!!”

“Excellent food, attentive wait staff.”

“I absolutely love the vibe at Afro Joe's. The beverages & food are always amazing. I order online, grab it & go when I have to keep it moving. But when I have the opportunity to sit and chill, it's a whole vibe and I LOVE IT! Great job Aisha & Kendall Griffin!”

“Top notch service, drinks were phenomenal, and the food simply EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for the VIP treatment on my Anniversary! You peeps are amazing!”

“If you’re looking for cozy vibes, killer food, and a board game collection that could humble even the most confident strategist, this café is your new happy place. The real MVP? Matt, our waitress, who somehow juggled food orders, game rule explanations, and emotional support like a seasoned dungeon master. She’s basically the Gandalf of good service. The food was shockingly excellent. The grilled cheese healed us. The fries may have unlocked a new level of consciousness. Come for the games, stay for the food, worship Matt. Would trade all my victory points to come back!”

“"This is my new favorite thing." -Dr. A. Haller”

“Lugar acogedor, el pulpo exquisito. Procuren ir a la hora de la apertura (4 p.m. ) a esa hora es menos concurrido lo que permite que la atención sea aún más espectacular.”

“good food and good service”

“Great dining experience today! We came towards the end of the night and the staff was friendly and kind. Service was fast and the vegan ramen was incredible. (I subbed in regular noodles and added an egg) My sister got the regular ramen and said it was some of the best pork she had ever had in ramen.

Prices are fair for the quality

We randomly stumbled upon this place so glad it worked out so well!”

“This place is impeccable. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. Dessert blew my mind. So inventive and fun! Highly recommend.”

“The food was great and the atmosphere perfect Im from Monterrey and I felt I was there!!!!”

“Friends and I have been frequent fliers here for the past 2 years. If you can only get one thing, get the pressed and torches roll. You will not regret it! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-16”

“Wow, amazing lunch, just amazing!❤️😃”

“Very top tier Japanese Restaurant in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Fresh food, fresh, delicious, world class chef, and an evening to remember.”

“It’s always a great time here. The wait staff is nice and knowledgeable, the host and entertainment is wonderful. I love that they make it an interactive experience.”

“I have being to Beity several times. The food keeps getting better and better every time that I go. I love their bar menu and their brunch menu. The cocktails are also amazing.”

“Amazing food and service. We had the tasting menu and it was incredibly tasty and really well thought out. Service was great and really contributed to being able to enjoy the food and understand the vision of the chef. Atmosphere was alright, I expect it will improve as they settle in to their new location.”

“Great food, amazing ambiance and incredible staff. One of the nicest Chicago steakhouses I’ve been to. Highly recommend.”

“Beautiful food and wine. Great atmosphere. Staff that were attentive without being overbearing. Michelin stars. And a 5m walk from the apartment. This could become an expensive habit!”

“Absolutely incredible meal! Up there with Alinea and Oriole as one of the best meals I've ever had! A tour of the kitchen where THE BEAR filmed was a great way to end it.”

“Dinner at Schwa was truly a memorable dining experience. The intimate, chef-driven space is something special and very outside the norm. The multi-course tasting menu was innovative, beautifully presented, and full of bold flavors, The staff was welcoming and passionate, and you can tell the team at Schwa enjoys what they do and have a good time doing it every dish felt like a creative discovery.”

“We enjoyed the 12-course set plus 3 additional personalized pieces curated by Chef Yang—favorites included the miso black cod and seared salmon belly courses. Excellent service from Roger and Tashon. Great art deco lounge atmosphere; highly recommend.”

“Wow. It's simply impossible that fine dining could be this fantastic. Tashon, Jens, and Jackie rolled out the red carpet so amazingly, you would have thought our last name was Bou. Sebastian behind the counter was simply breathtaking. We've had omakase at some of the world's leading places in Miami, in Seattle, in NYC, and Tokyo, led by folks who were trained by one of the global icons, and I have to say that Sebastian's ability to create absolutely new and inventive tastes and flavors - while adhering to simple and gorgeous presentations - was simply unmatched. While Sebastian was working his magic, the rest of the team was working hard to make sure every other part of the experience was simply flawless. Water? Always full. Cocktails? We were always asked about how we enjoyed each one well before each was empty, by the expert mixologist who was able to explain the difference between how American mint and Japanese mint can enhance the flavor of certain beverages. Plates? Cleared instantly. Feedback welcomed by the chef? Absolutely. The energy level is not “watch me make your next item while the brightly lit room cowers in awkward silence” - like so many high end omakase spots. This experience is more like “Do you want to be sad when your dinner ends because you don't know when you're ever going to feel this happy with a meal?” There's so much more I could say, including how the effective background evening vibes by Utah's legendary DJ Ta-Salmon made us want to sing each employee's praises. As MJB once said, it truly feels like this team is a family, and it was a Family Affair. Concluding, let me say what MJB would - when you go to Sushi by Bou at Fulton Market - Leave your stress (and hunger) at the door, so when you step inside, you'll see what's in store. Sigh... I know every review is supposed to have one “constructive critique”, but we can't find a single flaw in our entire experience. Thank you, Sushi by Bao team!”

“One of, if not, the most impactful meal I have had in the past couple of years and maybe ever. Every details from the playlist to the type of wood used in the utensils was carefully curated by the amazing team. Some dishes were enjoyed with frustration, knowing that I would never be able to have anything like them ever again, others with amazement and some were just too good for me to forget. I cannot sing the praises of this place enough. I am so incredibly lucky to have visited in the earlier years of its establishment, and hope to come back as frequently as I can. Congratulations to Chef Potashnick and his team on the incredible success that is Feld.”

“Great food and exceptional service”

“I seriously wanted to give this place a 5 star rating. But one star got away because the evening went by super fast. I meant just approximately 75 minutes for the 18 course dinner.

This is not a pure Sushi (Nigiri) Omakase place, rather a part French-part Kaiseki-part Nigiri Omakase style place. The chefs don't skimp on ingredients and everything is top quality. The taste is excellent as well as the execution. The service is shuttle yet never lacking. Yet, the dishes show up one after another without a break.

If the actual dinner time could be stretched out to 100 minutes, this place is destined to be a wholesome experience.”

“Wonderful evening ,i truly miss the team that was performing in 2023-2034”

“Took my husband here for his birthday and we had an amazing time. The chefs were awesome, and Sung kept us entertained the whole time. I would absolutely recommend this place to any sushi lovers.”

“I loved this place! Excellent food and service. Very friendly atmosphere. Store front is well lit and nicely organized. Our table was clean. The plates were very nice.
Only room for improvement may just be deep cleaning aspects. Otherwise, I will be coming back for the authentic food!”

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.”

“Cute and delicious! Koalas, unicorns, piggies and pandas for the win!”

“My Saturday rest day go to delivery! Best iced mocha latte, empanada, and Cuban sandwich I've ever had... The beignets are also fantastic. 10/10 would recommend!”

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!”

“This late night vegan food really hit the spot! So yummy!”

“Absolutely AMAZING pizza. The dough is just perfect. The salads are outstanding and their take on sandwiches is completely out of the ordinary. The owners and people who work there are so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place. 5 stars!!!!”

“As Islanders living here, this place is a piece of of home. Onolicious grinds!”

“Delish coffee, superfriendly staff 💜☕️

I ordered a capp with an extra shot of espresso, oat milk, and their seasonal apple spice syrup. Perfectly balanced (I even forgot to ask for it half-sweet, like I usually do, but my coffee still tasted like coffee, not like straight sugar 🙌🏼 - much appreciated!!)

Coffee was quick to come up, and there’s plenty of street parking in this sparse industrial neighborhood.
Love it!”

“always great pizza, really friendly staff, and good prices for the amount of food! I would go for the specialty slices. my favs are the mac and the chicken and waffles!! place itself is pretty no frills but staff was friendly enough to change TVs to games we were interested in!!”

“My favorite all time bakery. Been going to the Uptown location for 20 years and never dissappointed. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT”

“Great atomosphere cool concept like how they call out the alcohol and food orders when Ready. The pimento Mac was great flavor, as was the mashed and gravy. Very unique to have boneless breast thighs wing and leg portions battered and fried. Was very good. I just think the sauces were way to pricey at $1.45 a sauce wow even 99 cents seems a lot but would feel better lol. At least give one with the order or reduce the sauce price. But overall they need to spread this concept into more areas for sure out side like in the suburbs”

“The counter service is consistently outstanding, the food is excellent, never a bad meal, and the prices are a good value.

It might be the best falafel and baba ghanoush in the area!

CASH ONLY, no restroom, five stars, go now!”

“Great visit and good tasty food”

“It’s the perfect environment to sit and read or chat. It’s a beautifully curated space and the drink offering is on point.”

“Oh my God, if you want a great, fast food in Chicago for all you out of town that come from everywhere, choppers is One of The best fast food restaurant You can go the best burgers and the best Italian beef. Oh my God, let's not forget they famous Banana shakes the one I love and they famous steak fries 😋choppers for me 😋😋😋 fire 🔥”

“I have to say that after D'Cuba the food here is very good. If I don't go to D'Cuba I go to 90 Miles. Always consistent and good. Only problem is that it is often very crowded. No easy parking.”

“Excellent chocolates. Pristine shop. Delightful wait staff. You will be pleased!! 😋”

“What a nice, hidden (in plain sight!) gem.”

“Everything was so fresh and good. The restaurant was clean, and the service was amazing! I would recommend any day!”

“This is one of my favorite places in Chicago! It's literally a little hidden gem. As a Venezuelan, I can tell you that these taste very authentic and above that DELICIOUS! In the summer I was going every Sunday morning for a coffee and Porkie in an arepa! So GOOD! I've taken so many of my friends, and never disappoints. I rave because I love! XO See you this weekend!!”

“More than enough for you to eat, food was definitely on point. Good customer service to all customers who comes into the establishment.”

“We are from out of town, happened upon Matilda, and were pleasantly surprised. The Mediterranean salad was the best I ever had. Fresh, not stingy with the veggies, and simply delicious!! Highly recommend!!”

“Went there while back home visiting family and ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVVEEDD the food, atmosphere and service!”

“I have tried most of the Cuban restaurants in and around Chicago and this is the best for authentic Cuban food and consistency. I find the BYOB a real plus. The only problem is the hours are short if you want to go out for dinner. Almost impossible if you are a working person to get to the restaurant before closing. Even weekends are a problem. The quality of the food makes it my favorite place to go to eat the best Cuban food.”

“I came in with a food allergy, no Onions, The fellas behind the counter, jumped quickly in action, and knew exactly which items had onions, and onion powder in it. They made sure not to have utensils, which were not touching other foods that may have touched onions. AMAZING to find a place that caters to my needs. They made a Parmesan encrusted catfish, NOT overcooked, Glistening, perfectly cooked, and the sweet potatoes, WOW. I just wanted you to know that this place is a hidden gem.”

“The food was incredible!! Piper also made me a Dr Pepper float! Amazing server serving amazing food!! Highly recommend”

“Best carnitas for in the area. Rice is outstanding. Simple and delicious.”

“The food taste good and the service was great.”

“¡La comida más deliciosa! Siempre he quedado más que satisfecha. Excelente en todos los aspectos. mis recomendaciones al 100%”

“Carlitos who greets everyone entering and exits the doors at the Fogo De Chao downtown Chicago, he is very professional and nice. I love the food and atmosphere.”

“This was my first time here celebrating my girlfriend birthday. Chris and David made it a great experience. Service was awesome and they made sure we had everything we needed from drinks,, appetizers, , entrees and dessert. The food was so good and it was a fun night . Definitely coming back.”

“It’s a unique and historic place that is one of the iconic monuments of downtown Chicago and it’s must see”

“Their Chicago deep dish was fabalicious !! Oh and their margaritas are awesome!”

“Ana was so great! We would come back and request her!!! The Michigan ave location is iconic but employees like Ana make it even better. Thanks Beni and ANA.”

“The options were lovely. The place is very happening so you need to look at the signs to know where to go.
We had a Chicago roast pour over and Doppio espresso. Both were great and the presentation made the coffee a true experience.
We'll be back probably today for an espresso martini. Review to come.”

“Went to Chicago for the first time and this restaurant was suggested for great deep dish Chicago style pizza and I must say it was very delicious! The staff was super friendly and for being extremely busy we were sat right away and food came out quickly. A must!”

“Loved the shrimp cocktail! The patio is romantic! My ribeye was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The whipped potatoes are delicious. The staff is attentive. My husband enjoyed his grits. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Steak 48 made our anniversary unforgettable. A handwritten card greeted us, the staff was exceptional, and a surprise dessert was such a thoughtful touch. Watching the kitchen from our private view was mesmerizing—food arrived sizzling and flawless. Everything was incredibly delicious. Don't sleep on the Caesar salad. Quiet, romantic, and truly special”

“Dinner around a beautiful Christmas tree in the historic Walnut Room. The service was great and the food was amazing!”

“tonight was my first time there everything was great 👍”

“Best Place on earth! Service is impecable and the food is off the charts. Wine selection is vast with many offerings.”

“The best crab cakes I’ve had. Loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic!! Absolutely recommend this all day, every day!”

“We go a few times a year between Schaumburg and downtown Chicago. We love the food and the service. Keep up the stellar work!”

“Wonderful atmosphere and service!”

“Went for brunch. Food is good but nothing very creative. Had the French dip, really good but needed a bit more horseradish. The fries are amazing. Flight of cinnamon rolls wasn’t great value. Cesar salad was minuscule. Overall good food. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was a little close for me and too noisy.”

“Wish i could give them more than 5 stars !!! Food & service was great. Authentic Lao food, we’ve enjoyed every dishes we ordered.”

“The food was OUTSTANDING! Best mexican food I have ever had. The chips and warm salsa were delicious. We had the shrimp and chicken fajitas and those were so tasty. The margarita was sooo yummy! They even had kid's options for our daughter. Very accommodating and the atmosphere was perfect. Hope to return sometime! Thank you!”

“Food is fantastic .. the steak torta is soooo good Definitely a place to visit when you are in Chicago. I will be back”

“Absolutely incredible. Went for a belated birthday dinner and was wowed every step of the way.

From the intimate setting, to the inventive dishes, to the incredibly kind and attentive staff, this is truly a 5-star experience from beginning to end.

The beauty in the menu is the ability to highlight Wagyu without having to rely on it. Each element of each course is planned and executed with precision.

Truly one of the best restaurant experiences. Excited to go back.”

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!”

“Primetime Bar and Grill is an absolute gem. The burger is phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—and the wings are just as impressive, packed with bold flavor and cooked exactly right. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere and the people. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family, making you feel genuinely welcome and appreciated. Great food, great service, and a great vibe all around. Highly recommend Primetime Bar and Grill to anyone looking for an outstanding meal and an even better experience.”

“Very creative cocktais; well balanced and creative menu. Loved the banchan to start, and we particularly enjoyed the Galbi with lettuce wraps. Kimchi fried rice was another hit as well as the mushroom bulgogi that blew us away. Staff were attentive and fun to chat with. 10/10 overall and we'll definitely be back!”

“The service was excellent!! Starting with host. We thought we didn't have a reservation and she did her best to squeeze us in for an early dinner. We later realized that we had made reservations. The servers were great. Answered our questions and went above and beyond. The Chef came out greet us and ask how everything was.

Now the food...yum...we had olives, I thought I was in Italy, the burrata melts in your mouth. We had honeynut squash with pepitas and anchovies..to start and I think i would have them all again.

As for the pizzas..we tried the butternut squash, sausage, pepperoni, and funghi pizza. I had all but the funghi, I forgot to taste but it was a hit, as were all the pizzas. Can't wait to go back. They have a nice big, beautiful patio where they make pizzas as well.

Almost forgot, we had the Autumn Spice Panna Cotta and the Chocolate Pot de Créme, and both were so yummy and not too sweet, just the perfect amount of sweetness.”

“I am so glad this spot has opened up in the South Loop! I was there once for charcuterie and drinks, and once for a tasty coffee and scone to go - both experiences were excellent!”

“I absolutely love Dialtone! The employee are the sweetest people in the world. I’m there so often we’re on a first name basis. Special shoutout to Harjay! He has the best playlist and can make almost any drink you ask for!”

“Consistently inventive, flavorful and wonderful food and staff. It was quieter given football game locally but staff and service remained top notch in addition to food”

“Solid local pizza spot. Caught a whiff of pepperoni on a drowsy Sunday and couldn't resist. It's good pizza served in a comfy spot, can recommend a stop”

“Very tasty kabobs! It was juicy and tender. They even brought some masto khiar on the house! Would definitely visit again!
Also in my opinion, the interior design was better than other persian restaurants in Chicago”

“Really enjoyed this place. Ramen seemed priced fine for the amount you get, very flavorful. Nigiri was very fresh, buttery soft. It was more expensive but well worth it. Some of the specialty sushi dishes would be more doable with a group of people so can try a little of everything for a more reasonable price. Definitely would come again.”
