Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Chicago

Lynn C. • July 5, 2018Friendly service, great strawberry/rhubarb brioche and addictive Lavender Latte!

J.R. R. • June 26, 2021Swanky club vibes inside but a nice patio, too (just watch out for rain drops). Wise selections include cauliflower, beets, lamb, Burrata pizza, & carbonara. Rosemary Gimlet might be the best cocktail

ben m. • April 24, 2017Sit outside if you can, but inside is great too. Can get crowded, but they make a solid cocktail and the beer is usually interesting.

Cynthia G. • March 18, 2023Filipino breakfast (combo) the longaniza is great but the tocino is the best I’ve ever had. The Ube latte and the Ube and huckleberry basque cake are also wonderful.

Muskan • August 17, 2019Great cocktails/sake flights & the best dessert.. Japanese milk bread
