    Soft shell crab served over spinach and angel hair pasta was simply amazing. The special burger which included 3 kinds of meat was fantastic!! One of the best burgers ever! Service and venue superb!

    Love the almost European patio vibes. The charcuterie is delicious, as is the Bison Burger. Was really disappointed in the summer special: Green & White Pappadelle Burratta. Save room for dessert!

    One of the best Steakhouses in the city! Great food, good people watching, awesome location! Do the Filet Oscar and a Dirty Martini. #conciergetip

    Great food and outside seating. Perfect for relaxing, and people watching. Try the calamari and artichoke and crab dip!

    I can't understand why the lease won't be renewed on such a successful restaurant. Stil a great place to eat and drink and people-watch on a Summer evening.

    Of all the many good-to-great restaurants in the neighborhood, Tavern seems to draw me in the most often. (Mostly Gibson's when with out-of-town guests, and Tavern and PJ's with my Chicago neighbors.)

    The Bitches say: B+. A brunch institution in Chicago with great doughnuts and Bennys. The food is good, but the spot is a bit over-hyped and over-crowded. Read more

    The 12 ounce filet is a great go too and the tuna and avocado app is really good but perfect for no more than 2-3 people

    Ribeye Burger out of this world, and Onions rings to boot on toasted bun. If your going to pay 15+ for a burger this is the place.

    The rich come for a "cheap" meal and act a fool. Get the carpaccio and the pizzas are also a nice deal - definitely enough to take home for second dinner.

    Seared Tuna app and Pork Chop are both solid. Classy and engaged crowd gathered to watch the Blackhawks game (on every TV)

    Food is good, portions are huge, but you have to wait for the waiter for ages. We've been waiting for the check for 35 minutes. Makes no sense !

    Try the Basque style filet mingon - Perfect. Cooked rare and not bloody. The steak was dried to perfection and the dish was cooked very well.

    This seems to be a very family oriented part of town. It looks like a lot of older gentlemen are driving their nieces around and taking them to lunch.

    Only came here for drinks. Good cocktail menu- and definitely ask for the vodka-soaked pineapple

    Service was great, restaurant is lovely, had a delicious salad. Unfortunately the steaks were underseasoned.

    Used to love this place for breakfast in the summer. They changed their menu recently and it's ok. Most annoying thing is that they pack the outside dining area to where you barely have any elbow room

    Restaurants and Bars typically will never give you a hard time using Eluma inside their establishments. To be courteous though, always let an employee or manager know you're using Eluma before vaping.

    When they offer you a seat outside that's "near" a heating lamp, take it. It's just as good
