Not fine dining, but your typical Greek-owned Chicago neighborhood restaurant. Nothing special but OK for breakfast.
There are better places to go in Chicago for German food but you cant beat the Brauhaus for fun, cheesey, hoaky atmosphere and overall fun. The band is light and fun and I have always had a great time. The food is only average but the kitchen is spotless.
Beer garden is great and they have a good selection of beers but I think that the food at Lascet's Inn (across the street and one block west) is far better and the prices are more reasonable. Dont ever expect a free drink from Resi's owners either, even after dropping a few hundred dollars there. ...
This place has great Colombian food!!! My wife (who is from Medellin) says that 90+% of the dishes are totally authentic. The hostess/owner is very, very friendly, and the service is great. Typically, my wife and I get out for under $30. FYI, Colombian food is generally quite plain (mean, chicke...
For a resturant in the Loop, it has the best value fo the food.
Very good food! Terrific menu available all day and night.
A place to take your sweetheart or your customers to have a wonderful meal - been there more than 10 times in visits to Chacago. It has great food and as it is in an old mansion, there are many small classy rooms - so you can enjoy the evening without having to shout at everyone. Also do not rush yo...
Good food, service and presentation; made my guests (customers) comfortable; nice atmosphere - class, some dishes seemed expensive (maybe not by Chicago standards); nice live backround jazz; backround noise level lower than most of the popular sites.
Had a really an exceptional experience with my husband last week. He is a vegetarian and he was in HEAVEN. My favorite was their sturgeon, carrot salad and strudel. Incredibly cordial service. Will be back!
I have had the pleasure of both eating in and working in this restaurant. I am from Ireland and I love the standard of service in Chicago. The Artisits is a quaint little diner and even though the food is basic the service is exquisite. I get pangs of nostalgia all the time.
I enjoyed the old town feel of this restaurant. The closeness of the tables made it a little cramped, but that ended up adding to the restaurant's charm. The pizza was like none I had ever experienced. It was almost drowning in tomato juices from the freshly cut tomatoes on the top layer; definit...
A great place for a pint and some fish'n'chips. The menu was just expanded and the prices went up a bit but it is still worth every penny. The food is great, the staff is wonderful, and the setting is beautiful. It is usually very crowded so be ready to fight for a seat. The staff does not assi...
Excellent food served up in huge portions!! Two of us split a 1/2 plate and brought home leftovers. Order the chocolate cake for dessert. But, be prepared to wait in line for a table (approx. 1.5 hours on a Friday night). However, there is an excellent Irish pub across the street to kill the tim...
We visited this restaurant New Year's Eve, and were sure we chose the best restaurant in all of Chicago. This restaurant had a feel of colonial Vietnam the moment one entered. The service was attentive and enthusiastic. The wine selection was complete and high quality. The most fantastic thing o...
This place is fun and loud! I recommend it to anyone who is eating out with a group of fun friends. The food and sangria are great and the prices are excellent.
One of the best downtown sandwich shop for lunch or dinner.
Great food for a valued price. Perfect resuraunt for having a conversation and a fine meal. The dining has a lively ambiance. The dining room is well aranged and clean. Very clean, even the bathrooms are spotless!
Wine very good, bread basket outstanding, food overcooked and generally tasteless. Ripchen was dried out to the point of being tasteless. Fried potatoes were fried beyond eating they were so dry. As far as I was concerned it was a bad experience which I shall not repeat.
Very good food...excellent cheesecake! Good food for the price!
One of the country's best steak houses. Old time Chicago. Great crowded bar with lots of hussle & bussle. You'd think Al Capone was going to walk in any minute! Don't miss the garbage salad.
