Restaurants in Chicago

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

“Absolute dominance from a restaurant that is less than a month old. You thought you've had it all, that Chicago couldn't possibly have yet ANOTHER banger in Wicker Park, but i'll be damned, here we are. The cracklin' shrimp is so well done, I would eat a bowl of it. Lemony, spicy, deep fried deliciousness. The half chicken was among the best I've ever had (whatever that green sauce was, was KILLING IT) not to mention my wife's elote lasagna?!?! I can't wait to go back. THE MANAGER EVEN SMELLED GREAT. Victory!”

“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!”

“My favorite restaurant in the world. Seriously. Hands down. When I go to Chicago, I am making reservations at the Purple Pig for at least two of the nights. Bone marrow and pig ears are a must. But you can’t go wrong. Did I mention it’s my favorite?”

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

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

“Oliver's is a MUST visit. I cannot emphasize what a lovely time my friends and I had. I cannot sing enough praises to the immense care and charismatic service provided. The space itself is beautiful and while it seats more than you'd think, there's a level of coziness and intimacy. The food is well prepared and delicious. With elevated dishes, I thought the menu offers flair and thoughtfulness. Amongst our group we had carrots, truffle gnocchi, burgers, chicken, milk and cookies, espresso martinis, and the milk punch. Not a single miss, we were all happy members of the clean plate club. I had a phenomenal experience at Oliver's and cannot wait for my next visit, I will certainly be back in the near future.”

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

“We had a great dinner, the food was delicious. I would order everything we had again(lobster dumplings, Thai chicken satay salad, heirloom tomatoes, short rib, and salmon). Dessert was amazing(bread pudding and malt ice cream). The service was attentive, our waitress made excellent recommendations. The noise level was good. It was well worth the travel from the North Shore.”

“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!!!”

“Visited their new Lakeview location this past Thursday, and timed it right so my Pizza was ready right after the Cubs game ended. It was only a 15 minute walk to the restaurant. First time ever eating Milly's and I will definitely be back! Customized my own pizza with Pepperoni, Sausage and Ricotta cheese. Opening the box for the first time, this pie looked perfect. Generous amount of toppings, beautiful caramelized crust. First bite was nice and crispy and the entire pizza was full of flavor. I sat in one of their booths and ate half the pizza there! The staff was super friendly also, both guys were talking to me about the history of the company, and you could tell how passionate they were about making these pizzas. I will definitely be back again!”

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

“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!”

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

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

“Amazing, a perfect evening.”

“Great place. The outside doesn't impress but once inside, you will be hooked. Staff were great, friendly, attentive. The chips with dip and peppers were great!”

“My wife and I visited Gino’s for the first time. I was late but when I arrive the pizza was ready with a beer and our server Castle was so accommodating. His beer recommendation was awesome and he was very attentive. The food and atmosphere were top notch. Next time I visit Chicago I will definitely be back.”

“Great staff, absolutely delicious food in a warm welcoming atmosphere. can't recommend them enough.”

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

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

“Amazing experience! The food was great…best steak that I’ve ever had!”

“Not my first time here but first time for brunch. Day time hits the vibes differently. Food is good. Moreover, I love the energy of our server a lot. Don’t remember her name but such a good energy.”

“Wonderful tapas Sunday brunch. Creative, fun and delicious.”

“Amazing all around!!! The food was delicious and service was great. The pita was incredible and the hummus was truly authentic. We had the schnitzel which was super crunchy and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. The patio in the back is so nice and spacious and the word burning oven inside really sets the vibe. The drinks were also unique and delicious. You have to go!!”

“I went here for my anniversary with my husband and the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend it.”

“The food and service was amazing. Loved seeing the kitchen before hand. The staff was so knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommended! Head to After for a post dinner drink”

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

“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.....”

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

“Steak 'n Egger down in Pilsen is the absolute definition of a classic Chicago diner. We rolled in way past midnight for some late breakfast and grabbed two stools right at the counter. I ordered the standard steak and eggs with a massive side of crispy hash browns and a black coffee. The cook was working the flat top right in front of us and had our food out insanely fast. The whole place has that perfect vintage energy.”

“The food was amazing, fresh and you don't have to wait long. They are extremely nice, give plenty of refills. Can't wait to go back again. Prices incredibly reasonable.”

“We had an excellent stay at Loews Hotel! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and everything was exceptionally clean. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We look forward to staying here again!”

“Fantastic breakfast, amazing service food was great 👍”

“Very friendly staff and very accommodating. We went during their busy lunch time and were able to get the table we wanted.
Food was good, my grandkids love the lollipops and the balloons !.. nice family atmosphere.”

“Ordered the catfish, shrimp and chicken wings. Also the nachos. All super delicious. The only downside was that the dining area was too hot to eat comfortably. I am visiting out of town and ate at the location. Otherwise, the dining area was clean.”

“Ribs very delicious also the soups the shakes everything they make is very delicious”

“Hands down the best sourdough pizza in Chicago! 🍕 The crust is absolutely incredible — perfectly crispy on the outside, chewy and airy on the inside, with so much flavor. You can really tell how much care goes into the sourdough and the quality of the ingredients. Every bite is delicious, and it’s easily become one of my favorite pizza spots in the city. If you love sourdough pizza, you NEED to try this place!”

“my place to be with good people”

“Highly recommend the sausage and peppers!!”

“24 hours a day!!! I absolutely love it here! Clean, friendly, affordable and delicious! I love my regular 10 wings with salt, pepper and hot sauce for 10.54 exactly and you get a drink.”

“NICE PLACE relax everyone relax me”

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

“Really great falafel, hummus, tabouli and shawarma for an excellent price! The hours are a bit spotty and I would love to swing by more often but it is very difficult to with my sleep and work schedules.”

“Food is the star here. Fresh and complex flavors. Everything was top notch. BYOB too.
The pickled fish dish is huge, the smallest it says is for two but seems more like 3-4 people.”

“We love their Filipino breakfast combos. Service is excellent as well.”

“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.”

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

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

“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 📸”

“Great experience every time! I almost don’t wanna write this review so this place can stay lowkey but it’s so damn good! I’ll be back in two weeks! 😂
Entire staff is great but Liz is amazing!”

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3”

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

“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 !!!”

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

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.”

“One of our favorite places to eat when we’re in Chicago. Love the atmosphere, food and cocktails. Will be back soon.”

“Delicious and beautiful pieces, mainly nigiri though there was a sushi roll piece and a hand roll. This place focuses on clean flavors and quality over quantity but we were both quite full by the end. The sushi chef was very personable and fun. Great spot for a special date night. Do not recommend for groups based on the seating.”

“Syd is so kind and helpful with explaining everything clearly and having some great recommendations. Moves very fluidly though the large rush of people, making sure all our needs are met”

“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 waited fifteen minutes for a table, just for another group of the exact same size to show up and be immediately sat before us. We didn’t say anything cause it was busy, and we were waiting right outside (which we were told is okay), so they probably forgot we were there. Just something to keep in mind if you visit during a rush ;)

Other than that, the pho seriously lives up to its hype. It was worth the wait. Everyone at the table agreed, and I was with some folks who know good pho cause they live near Little Saigon in CA. The flavors were balanced, it was more savory than sweet which I enjoy.

I also had a lemon soda for the first time here and it was pretty good; very sweet and sour.”

“Great place! The farmers market was a bonus! Enjoyed the exhibits , Calder was an inspiration in my youth! Lunch was superb! To bad we live in Virginia Beach or I would be a regular!”

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

“Great for private events! Very accommodating, kind and attentive staff, delicious brunch buffet option! Recommend strongly. We hosted my sister’s bridal shower here, and it was perfect!”

“It's the best Jerry. Excellent beer selection served in the proper glassware, the food is great, and the service is amazing. One of my favorite places to visit. Cheers.”

“So much fun. Creative cocktails that look amazing and taste even better.”

“Me and a friend stopped here before a concert at the Radius, and this will be the official pregame for anytime I have a concert there. Great food, excellent drink selections, friendly staff...highly recommend!”

“Favorite ramen I’ve had yet in Chicago. This place is not only delicious, but absolutely spotless with top notch service. You can see that every person who works here actually cares about this place. Top notch establishment”

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?”

“We always look forward to takeout (during COVID) and look forward to seeing you in person. Pizza is always fantastic!!! Always!”

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

“I got the bourbon vanilla bean iced coffee. It was well balanced not too sweet which I loved and had such a good flavor. I also got the bacon egg and cheese on a croissant which was amazing!”

“good food and good service”

“Great food and exceptional service”

“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”

“Absolutely amazing food and you will not leave hungry. The owner, the waiter and the rest of the waitstaff were All phenomenal. I highly recommend checking this place out.”

“What an amazing experience, will be back.”

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

“Elegantly casual. LUVED. Counter seat into kitchen view was fun, interesting and worth it.”

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

“One of the best experiences of my life. The food, the atmosphere, the service from start to finish, were all impeccable. By the end of the meal, my palate and my appetite were fulfilled in the best ways possible. The customized service that they provide to each individual was just astounding. They remembered our names, where we were from, and even commented on some of the places we visited throughout the meal. How they remember such detail for every client is admirable! Thank you to the whole Indienne group for making this an experience we will never forget.”

“Absolutely — I’d weave that in naturally and keep the tone personal:

Beity is one of the most creative Lebanese restaurants I’ve been to in Chicago. The sourdough pita bread was incredible and genuinely something I had never tasted before. Such a unique take on something so familiar.

My other favorites were the wagyu shawarma, chicken, kafta hummus, fatoush, rice, and sea bass. Everything felt thoughtful and inventive while still staying true to the flavors of Lebanese cuisine. Dessert was excellent as well.

The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. The staff made great suggestions and clearly cared about making the experience special.”

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

“I had one of the best dinner experiences ever, the food was outstanding but the service was extra special. We will be back! Congratulations”

“I was looking forward to dining at Feld as it struck me as a restaurant with a distinct point of view. However, it fell well short of the admittedly lofty expectations I had set for it. My favorite part of the experience was the staff- everyone was passionate, genuine, and welcoming. The food had some really good moments throughout. I really appreciated the attempt at showcasing the season’s bounty in all its forms, even if it meant an inordinate number of dishes starring tomatoes. And overall, the food was tasty. Where it fell short to me was in the quality of the ingredients and in how they were presented. If you’re going to feature a thick slice of an heirloom tomato at this price point, it better come close to being the best slice of tomato that I’m going to ever eat. Unfortunately, it didn’t come anywhere near. Same for the other fruit on offering- I’ve eaten better berries and melon bought from Whole Foods. That being said, the different preparations of corn were delightful. The plating was very hit or miss. And while I appreciated ending the meal by the backyard fire pit, I think the garden variety s’more offered was a missed opportunity to end with something more interesting. Overall, I liked Feld but didn’t love it. The price point is too steep for its current iteration. I think there is a lot of potential here but also a lot to sort through.”

“We loved our meal last night for Valentine’s Day! pair the duck bread with the squash soup. It was absolutely delicious. The goat cheese salad with the apple dressing was equally as good. My steak was cooked perfectly. We had an amazing espresso martini and a delightful crisp lemon cocktail. My husband also liked their old fashioned. We split caramel ice cream with pineapple and it was a great finishing touch. The Moscato d Asti never disappoints either this is our fourth Valentine’s Day with Brindille and it has been our tradition ever since we have been together. Each year is different and this year was definitely better than the last! Their servers are great too. We are looking forward to our future years here. Thank you. ❤️”

“It’s been 6 years since I last ate at Schwa, and I think about it all the time still. In those 6 years I’ve gotten to eat at more starred establishments, and Schwa is still my favorite of them. Gun to my head I couldn’t tell you what it actually was, but the first thing they ever served me looked like a twig from sidewalk with Carmel drizzled over it and a green chartreuse cocktail. It was the tastiest stick I’ve ever eaten. They served me a bao bun that legitimately changed my life. I didn’t know that a bite of food good invoke such an emotional response. I no longer live in Chicago, and it’s 2:30am, 6 years later, and I’m just up thinking about the raviolo.”

“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!!!”

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

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO”

“Best vegan cakes. Ordered a carrot cake online for my husband’s birthday. Picked up a key lime cup cake while we were there. Couldn’t wait so we sat in the car and tried it. Absolutely delish.”

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

“One of the best wine shops that I know. The staff is very knowledgeable and they hand pick bottles from around the world. You can also have wine and cheese at their bar. A real gem for all the craft beer and wine connoisseurs!!!”

“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.”

“Stopped by for dinner before heading out for the night and grabbed one of Dimo’s creative slices plus an order of fries. The pizza had a really good balance of crispy and chewy, and the toppings didn’t feel skimpy. The vibe was casual and very Wrigleyville, which fit the night perfectly. Service was quick and easy, too.”

“I recently was visiting Chicago and as a habit, I searched for Best Gluten Free bakery and discovered Defloured. What an amazing place. As a Celiac, finding good GF baked goods is rare to find. Wow what a selection. I purchased a chocolate cupcake, two love pucks, cinnamon rolls, poppy lemon bread, baguette, and aNutella sandwich cookie. Everything was really delicious. I mean world class quality. I now plan on making regular visits to Chicago so I can load up and fill my freezer with possibly the best GF baked goods in the U.S. I’ve tried a lot.”

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!”

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

“❤️ ice cream 🍦 Great tea”

“It’s the best. Great Bartenders and excellent cocktails”

“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.”

“Best Sandwiches in Chicago!!!”

“This restaurant is very nice and clean. The team is really friendly.”

“Best Chinese food in Chicago! The Kung Pao Chicken is one of my favorites along with their Pork Fried Rice, but I have enjoyed many of their dishes - BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Pot Stickers, Beef Chop Suey on crispy chow mein noodles - all delicious. The servings are large - plenty to share or take home for tomorrow's lunch. All the staff are friendly and efficient, and you can eat in, pickup or order delivery. Try House of Wah Sun; you won't be disappointed.”

“This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. Although I had never tried it before, I trusted the recommendation and placed a catering order for more than 100 people. From the very first phone call, Rene, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The taco trays, beans, rice, guacamole, and chips were outstanding. The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive, and not a single person was disappointed. The food was delivered fresh, hot, and right on time. The quality, service, and overall experience exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation and will definitely order from them again!”

“Allll I have to say is YUMMMMYYYY to my tummy”

“Dee / Daovien was our server when the restaurant was slammed … she was remarkable she made the drinks served around 20 customers of which we were two. Give this gal a raise. She juggled so much and did it all with a smile on her face… THANK YOU”

“This place is great, the bar tender poured a great drink. The bathroom was very clean that’s important to me. Too many bars have gross bathrooms this place was refreshing.”

“Jas T was such an amazing host/ bottle girl. She made sure she took good care of us so please book with her. Me and girls came here for the start to my bachelorette weekend and baby we had a ball! Whenever we travel back to Houston we will return!”

“Hometown feel bar! Sweeney the bartender was very kind”

“Mercedes always happy and cheerful!”

“Went there and price charged was different (higher) than what's on menu”

“Awesome apple fritters, and empanadas”

“We had the most wonderful experience with this bakery! They made my daughter's birthday cake, and it turned out even more beautiful than I imagined, the attention to detail was incredible, and you could tell how much care and talent went into creating it. Since we were visiting Chicago, they were also incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. They made everything so easy and were wonderful to work with, which took a lor of stress out of planning a birthday celebration while traveling. The best part was seeing my daughter's reaction; she actually cried tears when she saw her cake. It made her birthday so special, and that's a memory our family will always cherish. Not only was the cake absolutely stunning, but it tasted amazing too. Thank you for helping make my daughter's birthday unforgettable. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a beautiful, delicious cake made with care and exceptional customer service. We will definitely be back whenever we're in Chicago.”

“Came her for my birthday and we had a blast! Food, drinks, service was amazing. Our server Jocelyn was the sweetest and got our drinks right away. DJ even gave me a shoutout! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

“Ma Dear's Kitchen is definitely Well named. The food sure taste like food out of your granny's kitchen! The ambiance is there and the behind the counter the personalities are like family. I will be back!!”

“FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING!!! THE COCKTAILS WERE DELICIOUS..... This is definitely the tye of restaurant you actually come back....Sea food tasted very fresh and every dish we tried was delicious!!!”

“When we came through the doors , we felt a vibe that truly said “Welcome Home”!! We didn’t have a reservation but the hostess greeted us and saw that we were weary tourist and celebrating life. So we were seated immediately and loved on to our perfect table amidst a warm atmosphere with a vibe of culture and class!!
Katie S. our server catered to our every need after Fatima, the manager introduced us to the best of the menu! The sides tasted like Big Mama’s with traditional entrees that have been leveled up for a new generation! I will be tellin my peeps to put this restaurant on the Chicago visit itinerary especially after visiting the Obama Center and a a Riverwalk cruise!!”

“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”

“Absolutely worth the stop. Best burger I've had (Wellington), truffle fries were amazing (don't sleep on this!) and the Oreo crème brûlée milkshake. Kind of want to eat here again tomorrow!”

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

“Cute little place. Big portions. Not a fan of the matcha.”

“Outstanding restaurant! We are so glad we came by! The prices are very affordable, portions very large and as flavorful and authentic Italian you can get anywhere in Chicago. The restaurant was busy when we came for dinner service, but the food still came out quick (tapas style) and service was incredible. We recommend the Neopolitan pizza, Beef Short Rib, and the Shrimp Diavolo, and the Tiramisu (best I have ever had) Very impressed! We stopped by twice before leaving the city.”

“Super cool. Never seen anything like it. Multiple levels with different things to offer on every level. Bummed the rooftop patio was closed for renovation, but definitely worth visiting while in Chicago.”

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

“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.”

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

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

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

“Where do you go for dinner if you (regrettably) only have one night in Chicago? Gibson’s Italia, of course! From our first drink at the bar to our stunning riverfront table for dinner, everything was simply spectacular! We started by sharing the Arancini Cacio E Pepe and the Cacio E Pepe before savoring my filet mignon and her New York strip steak with sides of Brussels sprouts and handmade fries, topped off with an flaming baked Alaska! Destinee was the perfect attentive server who never rushed and gave us space to enjoy, and maître d’ Patrick and Manager Andrew added their personal touch and attention as well! I may never be hungry again, and my memories of the perfect night in Chicago will live on!”

“From start to finish, every detail was just immaculate. Staff, food, ambiance - all exemplary! I already cannot wait to return to Chicago to dine here again! 😊”

“First time trying out The Little Lark, and definitely won't be the last. Everything about our experience was fantastic. The service, food, drinks, and atmosphere were terrific.”

“Insanely great! We just brought foodies from NY to try Trinos who said they “Only wish it was in NY” and “Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Better than great”. Food not only exceptional but so is the staff. Chef Stephen is so creative, kind and knowledgeable. Our server was outstanding. Definitely a special spot in our city! Thank you!”

“This is one of our favorite restaurants. The service is always amazing. Unfortunately for this trip our waiter was a bit non-existent however the managers were great!”

“While the food was delicious, and the staff great...the music was some of the worst I've ever experienced while dining and may be the reason I will not return :/”

“Food was delicious. Few dishes I was not a fan of (oysters) and they accommodated with substitutions. Overall each dish was incredibly memorable. The donut was one of the best deserts I've had.

They made sure to give a personal experience. Atmosphere was wonderful as well.

Highly recommend.”

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

“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!”

“Best Al pastor and quesadilla in recent memory. Burrito had generous quantity of meat. I had ordered the Quesadilla with steak added. It was served open-faced, with a layer of cheese that was delightfully crispy on the outside and gooey underneath (like you normally only get on the edges) and the steak was on top of the cheese with cilantro, onion, and avo. Friendly staff shared meat treats with our pup. Two tables, shade, and front row seats to the meat roasting on a spit over hot coals. Will crave this until we visit again!!”

“Authentic omakase artfully created and presented. The fish melts in your mouth and the flavors are so wonderfully balanced that you have to wonder how you tolerated anything less beforehand. Worth every penny!!”
