Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near West Loop, Chicago

Ashley S. • January 22, 2015Love the minimal design. Must have bacon-wrapped dates! Open late - great date spot.

Jorge L. • November 9, 2022The cheese burger is very good. The bag of fries is enough for two persons. Service was very good.

Ryan M. • October 11, 2018They have some of the best coffee you can find in Chicago (Dark Matter, duh). I’ve tried all of their nitro brews on tap, as well and Vanilla Suburb is my favorite. Highly recommend.

Steffen B. • January 4, 2019Every dish we had was splendid and interesting. Wines excellent and cocktails with a certain twist. Overall at 1star level.

Stan T. • January 11, 2020Perfect fish, perfect chef with attention to detail second to none!

Time Out Chicago • November 2, 2011Stacks of “meltaway” pancakes are perfectly browned, omelettes come in hot skillets (try the sweet, rich apple-and-cheese variety), waffles are light and crisp, and pastries are baked fresh daily.

Natalie M. • March 16, 2018Chicago mix sounds odd but it is amazingly delicious. We also tried the bacon flavor and the cashew caramel. All 3 are solid choices. Best popcorn I’ve ever had.

Janet J. • June 7, 2010a classic Bombay sapphire martini comes in a classic coupe. and it is simply delicious.

Graham W. • May 18, 2012Pastrami on rye. For a Fumare virgin, that's all you need to know. You can come back for the almost equally awesome sausages.

Michael T. • April 1, 2019Whiskey selection is amazing... oh and that shrimp roll!!

mc. • September 21, 2013hidden gem in the West Loop! love that all of the vodka/gin/mixers etc. are created in house. small plates are great for sharing. sophisticated + divine experience!

PureWow • May 11, 2017This fast-casual restaurant serves up a serious selection of mix-and-match poké. Our favorite is the Aloha bowl: pineapple, cucumber, jalapeño and scallion with your choice of tuna or salmon.

Alison • 5 days agoWaited 6 weeks for our reservation. The food was good, but next time I wouldn’t get the ricotta dumplings as an entree. They’re so rich that it’s better as a shared appetizer. The rigatoni was best!

Joseph B. • March 29, 2017Great sandwiches, large authentic menu, lots of fun stuff on the walls.

Harper R. • February 9, 2019Tasty bibimbop. Get the egg on it.

Marc S. • September 2, 2016I had the felafel... It was very good.

Naywri W. • September 16, 2017This is another one by Four Corners Tavern Group. I started out with a Caesar Salad. It had potato chips in there. It was very good. 

Scott Kleinberg • September 7, 2015Really good BBQ. Ask for burnt ends. Or, the brisket sandwich with Memphis sauce and pickles is 5 stars. The Mac and cheese is pretty darn tasty too. Oh, and the sweet tea is homemade.

Chirag P. • January 26, 2011Carol is gracious with samples. Try the lemon bar, brownie, and (coconut based) yogurt

Ben C. • March 31, 2018Great vegan mac n cheese and other soul food nestled in the French Market food court.

Scott Kleinberg • March 10, 2012Can be busy but you can't go wrong. And remember ... Any drink can be modified (i.e. You don't want yogurt, etc)

Carlos B. • September 17, 2018Lunch line is long but moves fast
