Raed MansourAugust 3, 2015This is one of the gems of Lincoln Square. Definitely try to dine on the patio. Best service and just a very happy staff. The scallops were like butter. Can't wait to go again.
Jessica MarheeJuly 8, 2016Brussel Sprouts cannot be overlooked! The Mussels were the best I have ever had! Everything here is high quality and reasonably priced. I will go here time and again
BillJune 3, 2016The meat and cheese board were great, and the burger was delicious. The back patio was cozy and the service was prompt and helpful. I'll definitely be going back, and maybe sit next to the kitchen!
Cole KennedyOctober 8, 2018Totally freaking incredible. Do whatever you can to sit at the chef’s counter and order through the whole menu. Highlights include the fried enoki mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and the raviolo.
Bitches Who BrunchApril 29, 2015Celebrate spring with their brioche french toast or their brunch salad which is finished with a poached egg. Why not try a new brunch beverage, like a breakfast stout or a Sunday session ale? Read more
Mary PhillipsNovember 18, 2019Interesting menu with plates to share so you can try multiple dishes. Try the gnocchi and the harvest apple salad, mmm. The cocktails are tasty esp The Count and Basil Smash. Great staff!
Sharlene WrightJuly 22, 2013Innovative menu and amazing staff. Recommend the ricotta and green bean appetizer. Had a spectacular tofu special with peaches and spices that MUST stay on the menu (although it was a small portion)
Lauren O'ConnorDecember 6, 2015Had the family style dinner. They give you portions for everyone at your table. $26/person. Included your pick of 2 starters, a main and a desert. Tasty. Heated outdoor seating w/ good ambiance- Lauren FarbsteinJanuary 5, 2014The food is incredible there's nothing disappointing about this place. Sticky Buns are incredible. Best burger and beef tartar in town. The chefs are also so friendly! Definitely a fav!
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014The kitchen brings an artist's eye to preparations such as hamachi crudo with citrus segments and horizontal smears of citrus sauce, and crispy artichokes alongside a lazy river of artichoke puree. Read more- Molly EApril 3, 2015Obsessed! Best meal in a long time. Brussel sprouts, steak tartare, raviolo, sirloin, and apple fritters all amazing. Try to sit at bar seating overlooking kitchen.
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014The 40-seat covered patio behind this Lincoln Square newcomer is pretty and serene, abetted by privacy fencing and young trees, equipped with heaters for chilly nights and fans for sultry ones. Read more
- Time Out ChicagoJune 6, 2013This covered terrace in Lincoln Square features shareable dishes like charcuterie and pickled vegetables, accompanied by summery wine coolers served by the glass and pitcher. http://tmout.us/lKTEo Read more
Michelle RMarch 27, 2017Ricotta = ok. Burrata & beets = good. Brussel sprouts=amazing. Chicken = very good. Rainbow trout=amazing.
Timothy StateJanuary 24, 2016Request to sit at the bar where you can watch all the action in the kitchen.
David AlexanderJune 4, 2019Had the Thai curry broccoli, raviolo, steak tartare, pork belly spaghetti, banana cake. Everything was perfect. Go.
Aaron LewisAugust 25, 2014Lovely (covered) patio, delicious food and cocktails, and the Sunday family dinners are a great deal (and a ton of food!).
This place is lovely. Delicious food and excellent service. Trust your server's recommendations, and you won't be disappointed.
Greg GulikNovember 2, 2018One of the best restaurants in Chicago right now. What they do with vegetables is magical.
Bobby KennedyJanuary 11, 2015They only allow reservations on half the tables, making it easier to just drop-in. Brussel sprouts and scallops are the favorites so far.
- Tanya NOctober 7, 2015Not only was the food delicious, but the service was outstanding as well! I believe our server was Jamie, she rocks!
- Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The sticky bun at Gather is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more
Gordon WrightJune 22, 2013Though it's not cheap, I thought prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the food and ambience in this neighborhood.
Bree S.April 4, 2013The whipped housemade ricotta with honeycomb and balsamic is crazy good! Trust me, I'm not a lawyer.
- Samantha BornemannAugust 29, 2016Very friendly service. Salmon appetizer is delish and filling for two
The sidecar cocktail goes down like juice. Evil and deceptive and delicious.
