Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Chicago

Matt D. • August 25, 2018Chocolate and passionfruit is one of life’s most underrated flavor combinations, and the Passionfruit Chocolate Hazelnut Caramel Tart at Lost Larson is proof of that. Absolutely outstanding.

Petr J. • May 12, 2022Beer with a view! Lot of outdoor seating and diverse list of beers.

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

Ramsen • July 27, 2018The Aloe it’s Me drink is probably best on the menu. Spicy and sweet. Shawarma and the hummus are awesome too (shawarma is basically a sliced steak and not actually shawarma but still fantastic).

Emily B. • August 25, 2017I love this place. The cocktails are top notch, the bar is absolutely beautiful and they play good jams. Good service and knowledgeable bartenders.

Fernando C. • August 18, 2014Awesome and classic ice cream parlor. Traditional flavors served up in a cool atmosphere.

Neal U. • August 21, 2021The subs are amazing and frozen foods/foods to go are a+++. Great prices, great food, great people.

Marie L. • May 30, 2023Filet mignon cooked to perfection and excellent sides, order the steamed broccoli. Decor and music are a mood.

Tana B. • May 25, 2018Great location next to Wrigley is about double the size of the Southport location - so plenty of people to help you taste all the flavors! Cool ballpark decor/theme going on inside too!

ᴡ H. • August 7, 2016The cappuccino is the best in the area. Just slightly better than Gaslight's 😰. Also a great place to work from. Love the environment. The playlist has some soul.

Lindsey S. • May 3, 2013Order the cornmeal cookie. Better yet order 6. It's one of the most amazing cookies I have ever eaten.

Xinnie • October 28, 2017Reminds me of the sushi king chain in Asia. All the nigiri that I've tried were yummy! Attentive staff and nice atmosphere. Definitely will come back again.

Ruthie G. • August 1, 2019The vibes here are unparalleled. The music is always good and there are lots of shareable tables and outlets. Come here to get work done during the day

Bitches Who Brunch M. • December 8, 2015Voted Best Overall Brunch in 2015! From the service, to the decor, and of course the amazing food, we just love this Logan Square gem. This is one spot we could eat at again, and again, and again.

Monika B. • March 11, 2016Unique, but tasty flavors, like cornbread, ginger, & churro. If you want something tart & sweet, wildberry lavender is the way to go.

William S. • October 4, 2021Kumiko is an experience onto itself. The moment we walked in, we were treated with impeccable service. Patrick behind the bar is incredibly knowledgeable. I recommend the karaage and Time To Shine.

Anamaria H. • March 15, 2015Amazing pies! Tried the Honey, Maple Bourbon Pecan, and Blackberry Sage. No one could pick a favorite so we would each take a bite of pie and rotate. $5 each but so delicious.

Michelle T. • February 3, 2013Best sushi in Chicago. Amazing bites of fresh fish in inventive preparations. I love this place. Basically order every roll on the menu, both pearl apps, and try the specials!

PUNCH • September 25, 2015This modern Victorian parlor has an impressive stash of gins from around the world. One-part hip living room, one-part casual saloon, the cocktails run the gamut from fresh and fruity to big and boozy
