From the people that brought you Maude's and Au Cheval... yum! Steak tar tar is excellent.
Hanna FridellAugust 30, 2015Cool decor and nice food and cocktails! Try to get a table in the library.
Grady TwohigFebruary 23, 2014Salmon was great...crispy on the outside and not over-cooked! Brussels sprout salad is awesome too!
Cocktails are great! Try the bone marrow, corn bread and pasta!
AlisonOctober 20, 2010Cocktails are yummy - had the French 75, sweet but not sugary. For eats, try the bone marrow, the mussels, frites, and brussel sprouts with bacon!
Miyeon PreskyOctober 22, 2012Sticky toffee cake with coffee ice cream or something is soo amazing. We saw everyone else was ordering it too.
Lindsay WennerMarch 25, 2012Wow! Food was amazing. (we ate half the menu) and our server Mike B was one of the best I've had in years and years.
Paul MillerAugust 9, 2012Ask for Tony - all of his recommendations were great! Amazing food! Try ordering a few things & share with the table.
Raymond BergAugust 12, 2014Sazerac is phenomenal. Actually, all the cocktails have been amazing. Cheers!
Esteban GonzalezApril 8, 2010a. the el diablo coctail, gingery, light, great aperitif; b. swordfish is one of the best, most exquisitely done i've tried; c. the brussels sprouts are delish...
Get the Brussel spouts, tartars, pot roast!!! If secure with your manhood, get the bee sting cocktail, gruner veltliner wine and Grenache.
Theresa GanchorreJune 8, 2012The most flavorful food in Chicago, share everything! And check out the bar scene downstairs.
Emily WalkowiakJune 22, 2014The drinks are super strong but yummy and retro. Order early. Last call is around 1230
Hayden RassasJune 12, 2012Request to sit at the chef's table, its a lot of fun! And, don't forget to order the bone marrow!
Ajay SalpekarOctober 17, 2011Must. Get. Crispy bone marrow and toast. Decadent. And the pork belly. Steak-like pieces that like butter.
Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014Attn Whiskey drinkers: These bartenders know a thing or two about making a tasty Vieux Carré.
Adam HickeyNovember 5, 2011Nice place, still affordable for those on a budget: $2 PBR served in a chalice. What more could you want?
cynthia xerogianesMarch 25, 2011Corn bread to die for! yeah you read that right delicious, buttery saturated jalapeno crispy scallion savory corn bread. Decadent.
Dana TedescoAugust 12, 2010I came for the meatballs and I got the BEST pork meatballs eva!!! On top of creamy polenta. And the cornbread is like buttery moist delishishness!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011Rustic and refined collide in this saloon on roids. Warm your belly with dressed up comfort food or a hot toddy. - Inspector
Thompson HotelsFebruary 24, 2012For a place this hip, you’d expect to encounter some attitude. On the contrary, Gilt Bar’s staff is friendly and always on-point.
Ellie WheelerSeptember 3, 2011A must try is the ham and cheese fondue with farm egg...a fantastic start to the meal!
Stephen SpiewakJune 20, 2010Cool ambiance. Upscale, but didn't feel too pretentious. Menu is very reasonable, and great for sharing. Definitely get the roasted garlic/olive oil appetizer.
Their pims cup and truffle pasta are amazing! Must try - they never fail :)
Tammy GordonJuly 2, 2011Fondue w fried egg, pork meatballs with anson mills grits & orechiette pasta - all fab!
Jonathan D. Young IIIDecember 9, 2016Cocktails are very good. The food isn't as good as it was a year ago.
Angela SoSeptember 29, 2011Fave dishes thus far: the orecchiette and definitely the brussel sprouts!
