Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Gold Coast, Chicago

Molly E. • December 17, 2015The space is gorgeous. It's perfect for brunch. They make the wait painless by texting your cell phone when your table is ready and providing a walk up café for drinks. I highly recommend the burger!

David D. • March 23, 2011For 20 years Gibsons has set the standard for dining excellence. An icon in Chicago. Check out the newest location in Oakbrook.

Claire W. • March 31, 2018Definitely worth the experience. Got to choose our own tea blend and a few pastries. Waiter was so sweet and even took a picture of us at the end! Love the space, so historic and unique.

Time Out Chicago • May 11, 2012Old-school classics are prepared well; we like the frog legs with garlic butter, “clams casino” (baked clams topped with bread crumbs and bacon) and smoked salmon—heat-smoked rather than cured.

Dana D. • September 23, 2016Pancakes served with everything! If you want eggs get a skillet! Make sure to come here on an empty stomach because portions are massive! Outside patio is nice but lots of bees!

Abby M. • July 20, 2013Hands down my fave brunch place in all of Gold Coast, Streeterville, and River north. Gfree friendly, get the breakfast Sammie and an Americano topped with almond milk.

ᴡ I. • May 7, 2012The sunrise burger is definitely the way to go.

Jasmine C. • January 29, 2012Intimate little wine bar. Order the fusilli funghi tartufo (white truffle!), taleggio cheese, prosciutto!

Pierce G. • July 11, 2013Awesome Bar plus good snack mix while at Bar. Complimentary wifi.

Hotel I. • January 23, 2013This neighborhood haunt features a range of Italian comfort food that will bring back memories of your nonna’s kitchen. Choose among stone-fired pizzas, luscious pastas, as well as seafood.

Matt S. • October 20, 2011Friendly staff, prompt service. Truly started my day

Chris • September 4, 2018One of the great traditions in Irish Themed bars in Chicago. The food is also pretty darn good too! Packed in the evenings or weekends & Christmas time. It's a quiet place for lunch so stop by then.

Kevin W. • January 25, 2016Great to stop in on a Football Sunday for snacks..

Martin S. • August 9, 2014Most everything will need is just steps away! Plus they have a good amount of gourmet items so you can splurge once in awhile in addition to getting the basics.

Chase W. • December 11, 2010Order your sub on wheat. And have 'em cut it like your mom would... Diagonal!
