“I loved my experience at Dear Margaret! This was my second time here and I thought it couldn’t be better than the first time (which was outstanding) and it exceeded expectations! The wait staff is so kind and takes time to explain the menu and wine selections. The meal was coursed perfectly. We loved the duck confit, pork schnitzel, and the pommes frites. Thank you Dear Margaret for a great evening!“

“My guy and I dined there last night and I can only say that every aspect of this visit was, on a scale from 1 to 5, a 10. Atmosphere, service, cleanliness, promptly being seated AND served with a reservation, courteous waitstaff, and last but not least...every dish we tasted was superbly plated and tasted amazing. We had the restaurant week special with 3 entrees. We chose the pot roast, blackened salmon w/creamed spinach, honey chicken with fried pound cake, short ribs /mashed potatoes, shrimp n grits. Well done! We will be coming back!“

“Deviled eggs- tasty and the egg is like a taste of egg salad. It is a smooth texture. I love how the crispy bacon is on top of each eggs.Famous waffle w chicken- the chicken is pretty good. Juicy and fried well. The waffle is recommended to eat right away because the syrup will make it soggy if u wait too long.Blueberry lemonade- fr that’s the best lemonade I’ve had. At least top 3 best.Espresso- just espresso.“

“An absolute MUST VISIT for any vegan/vegetarian visiting Chicago. This joint is a thriving institution for a reason: the BEST food served by the friendliest staff in the most casual vibe. My biggest issue is trying to decide what to get because I want everything. Portions are generous and everything tasty. Favorites include the Mexican Scrambled tofu bowl (spicy and savory and bursting with flavor), the Reuben (all the salt and chew you miss from when you ate meat), the biscuits and gravy, and of course the milkshakes. You’ll want to come with friends so you can share and sample more items.Vegetarian options: 100% vegan and their kitchen is nut free (though not their desserts).“

“Edit: I really appreciate Dave reaching out and taking the time to investigate the issue. I stopped in again today and Dave was there himself making sure things were going smoothly and trying to figure out what the issue was. He even comped my sandwich to make up for the last mistake. With that kind of care and attention, it’s clear this place really cares about their quality and their customers. Thanks guys!If ordering takeout, double check that it’s correct before you leave. I go here every other Saturday and get breakfast to-go, and half the time when I get home I realize I didn’t get what I ordered. Last time, I asked for a sausage & cheese bagel with no egg, got home and unwrapped it to find an all egg sandwich with no sausage or cheese. The food is tasty when they get it right, so I will keep going, but I will never leave before confirming again!“

“Visiting Chicago for the first time, I had to find all the vegan options. I ordered a traditional deep dish pizza and the Oreo chocolate cake to go as we were in a rush to also go to a non-vegan pizza place for my husband. Very dark and creepy inside for me but the service was great and I really enjoyed the food! I’ve never had a Chicago deep dish before going vegan so I don’t have much to compare it to. The crust was thick and crunchy and the vegan sausage had a nice spiciness to it. I would have ordered all the desserts if I could! There were Endless options!Dietary restrictions: All vegan options!“

We had to wait a bit to order, but bartenders were going as fast as possible. Drinks were pretty strong, and we all enjoyed them. If you are coming for the music I suggest arriving early.“

I'd describe the taste as similar to Taro, but sweeter. Unsure what the bacon was glazed with but it tasted AMAZING. The Purple haze had iced coffee with ube at the bottom. The flavors work well and I liked the taste. My girlfriend had the Spiced Maple Chicken and enjoyed it as well!“

It's a cute and cozy authentic Italian restaurant. The service was great and everyone who worked there is lovely. I had the chicken parm with pasta on the side and my best friend had the lasagna. Both dishes were delicious, especially the lasagna. Literally melts in your mouth. If you have are in Little Italy in Chicago, you need to check this place out. Definitely going back!!“

I honestly forgot what my main entree was but it was very decent. Broth was savory not watery. Meat and egg were delicious. Noodles were soft and a little chewy. Service was good. There were plenty of tables to eat. We did paid street parking. Prices were okay.“

This tasted similar to Memphis area, so consistency is good so far.My order had a very minor mix-up and the staff were happy to help correct it. Great service, great food.I personally think the pricing is too high considering it is chicken, but at the least the flavor is great and worth it for maybe once a week. This is the same problem at the Memphis area for high pricing, it's quite similar.“
