American Restaurant · The Loop · 45 tips and reviews
Ariana Voyer: Ordered the beef tartare with gouda (wow!), duck entree, brussel sprouts slaw & chocolate mint dessert (yum!). If you sit at the bar, trust the bartender to make something for you. Great mixologists!
ISC Chicago: One of the darkest restaurants I’ve been to; love the jazz background music
Redeye Chicago: The lack of windows, huge curved wooden bar, slick tufted booths and symbols emblazoned on everything feel like Don Draper’s supper club meets illuminati secret society. Read more.

Leia Nichole: The blueberry cheesecake pie was AMAZING. Love this spot, tucked on Ashland and begging you to stop in. Homey, friendly, generous.
Mightybytes: First Slice is not just a great place to get a slice of pie. Buy healthy meals for your busy family, and you'll pay for the same meals to go to Chicago’s hungry and homeless. Read more.
Brenda Magnetti: This non-profit feeds more than me. They serve 500 meals a week to those who can't afford groceries. You had me at hello!
Emily Harnish: You must try Annette's! Everything is so good and the people are so nice! Went back in opening day and they were so excited to see customers again! My faves are the red raspberry and the strawberry.
Rebecca Thalhofer: Eskimo Kisses is to die for..... coconut ice cream w/ chocolate chunks.
Daniel Meza: This place is great!! Need a place to cool down from the summer heat or humidity? Come here and get refreshing Italian Ice in over 15 different flavors. My combo is Lychee, Blood Orange & Grapefruit!
Christopher Rollyson: Don't forget the tea! I keep our collection of full leaf teas stocked. A sampling: Sencha, Czarina Samovar, Black Vanilla, Leung Ching, Gen Mai Cha, various breakfast teas. Also equipment.
Tom Bellino: If you want a good cup of coffee or tea and can't stick around to drink it, head here above all others. If you want to sit down, head to Kickstand, Argo or Intelligentsia.
Martin Cuellar: In addition to Coffee and Tea, they have a fair number of spices.
