“My Fiancé and I discovered this restaurant after watching “Somebody Feed Fill” and were inspired and intrigued by Sarah’s restaurant and craftsmanship. We had our eye on getting reservations here for a very long time and we ended up landing lunch reservations for my Fiancés birthday (whom is also a Chef). We just happened to be seated by the expo line near the kitchen where we saw Sarah working. From start to finish our server Rose, and Sarah made sure our experience was personalized special. Sarah even signed the cookbook we bought and menu! Everything was on point from the food to the service. I can see why it’s so hard to get a reservation here! If we could rate our experience higher we would. We greatly appreciate the hospitality and dedication that this restaurant displays!”

“Menu is versatile and delivers whether you’re going for a quick lunch or a nice dinner. Pork is the specialty and I vouch. I don’t order tenderloins at restaurants typically but this is probably the best I’ve had — perfectly cooked and a great dish overall. Not among the top echelon of Michelin restaurants ive been to, but not far behind.”

“This place was great! If you're looking for a place where you feel like you're stepping back into Prohibition Chicago, this place is it. The food was great. I had the steak, which was seasoned and cooked perfectly, I had a few of their signature cocktail, which were decent, the service was a bit slow but it was a packed house so that is understandable. But overall, definitely something that I will plan on coming back to again. Maybe for their Valentine's Day Massacre show.”

“The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The pool has floaties and toys for littles, that was a nice touch. It is not super warm for being heated but wasn’t terrible. Our only complaint was breakfast at ETA. On our second morning we were informed that it would be a buffet that day and the next day, and the cost would be $29.99 for each adult and $15 for kids 12 and under. The buffet was underwhelming and the equivalent to a free continental breakfast you’d get at a Best Western. It was cheap bacon, the powder egg mix, if you get what I’m saying, definitely not $30 quality. There were other guests at the buffet that were as unimpressed as us.”

Yao Yao 230 W Cermak Rd, Chicago Chinese • $$

“My mom and I were in Chinatown looking for a place to have some great fried rice. Yao Yao came up when we searched Google and then we stumbled on it as we were walking so we decided to give it a try. It was clean, spacious and the decor was so cute! Upon reading the reviews further, we found out that this place’s specialty is their pickled fish and that it’s a Michelin star restaurant but we didn’t end up getting it. We ordered their shrimp fried rice with extra veggies, their shrimp Lo mein and their chili chicken. We were disappointed about the fried rice as it barely had any flavor and the shrimp for both the fried rice and Lo mein was lacking in flavor. We kept adding soy sauce and chili oil to make the rice taste decent but the other dishes were good! The chili chicken was very delicious and full of flavor!! We would go back again for the Lo mein, the chili chicken & to try the pickled fish next time but not the fried rice.”

Oriole 661 W Walnut St, Chicago Fine Dining • $$$$

“I often seek out experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants when traveling, and Chicago has its fair share of choices. I have dined several times at 3-star Alinea pre-pandemic, so I chose to book 2-star Oriole for this trip; it has perhaps the most buzz recently (ie, from Infatuation). Like Alinea, it's not just a meal, it's an experience, although less theatrical and perhaps more food-focused.\n\n Unassumingly located in a former warehouse on an alley, one enters the building via a small outdoor patio. There is a small reception area, part of which is a former freight elevator, where you are served a chilled tea. The elevator reminded me (and apparently other guests) of the Tower of Terror ride at Disney World's Hollywood Studios. The rear of the elevator opens up from the middle (as freight elevators do) and parties are individually escorted into the restaurant. Aside from a lounge area for waiting diners, there are 3 areas through which guests travel and take bites--the bar (3 bites), the open kitchen (one bite), and the dining room.\n\nWe may have seen Executive Chef/owner Noah Sandoval, but he blended in with the entire kitchen team, which was not small. The menu consisted of 14 courses/bites which surely change often; you are given a copy of your particular menu at the end of the experience, including whichever beverage pairing you had, if any. I had the non-alcoholic beverage pairing, which mostly consisted of highly complex tea-based drinks. A server told me all staff members participate in creating these elixirs.\n\nSince the courses surely change, it seems silly to list them all. I will say the 3 bites we had at the bar were all with raw or barely touched seafood and had broths so delicious we were slurping from the serving vessels like they were teacups. \n\nThe single bite served in the kitchen is perhaps the most memorable and unlikely to change with time. It's a Hudson Valley foie gras mousse served over toasted brioche and topped with blueberries--OMG!\n\nThe courses in the dining room were all fabulous and multi-layered. My faves were probably the Matsutake custard, the Wagyu ribeye and the carrot cake. \n\nOverall a pricey but unique and enthralling experience.”

4.8 Superb124 Reviews

“Wow. It's simply impossible that fine dining could be this fantastic. Tashon, Jens, and Jackie rolled out the red carpet so amazingly, you would have thought our last name was Bou. Sebastian behind the counter was simply breathtaking. We've had omakase at some of the world's leading places in Miami, in Seattle, in NYC, and Tokyo, led by folks who were trained by one of the global icons, and I have to say that Sebastian's ability to create absolutely new and inventive tastes and flavors - while adhering to simple and gorgeous presentations - was simply unmatched. While Sebastian was working his magic, the rest of the team was working hard to make sure every other part of the experience was simply flawless. Water? Always full. Cocktails? We were always asked about how we enjoyed each one well before each was empty, by the expert mixologist who was able to explain the difference between how American mint and Japanese mint can enhance the flavor of certain beverages. Plates? Cleared instantly. Feedback welcomed by the chef? Absolutely. The energy level is not “watch me make your next item while the brightly lit room cowers in awkward silence” - like so many high end omakase spots. This experience is more like “Do you want to be sad when your dinner ends because you don't know when you're ever going to feel this happy with a meal?” There's so much more I could say, including how the effective background evening vibes by Utah's legendary DJ Ta-Salmon made us want to sing each employee's praises. As MJB once said, it truly feels like this team is a family, and it was a Family Affair. Concluding, let me say what MJB would - when you go to Sushi by Bou at Fulton Market - Leave your stress (and hunger) at the door, so when you step inside, you'll see what's in store. Sigh... I know every review is supposed to have one “constructive critique”, but we can't find a single flaw in our entire experience. Thank you, Sushi by Bao team!”

“I had an engagement party for my Son and his fiancée. It was in the lawn next to our building on the lake in Chicago. A casually elegant setting. We had a lot of different food prepared professionally and I made salads, and we grilled steaks, burgers and chicken. Khmai was enlisted to do all the appetizers, some additional salads and various spreads and dips. I have Mai my approximate budget, let her know what I was preparing and planned to cook and asked her to do her best to come up with what she thought would be best as complimentary. She outdid herself. The staff is lovely to work with, helpful and genuine. My guests were blown away by the delicious and complex tastes we are not used to since most had never had Cambodian food prior. Fermented catfish dip? Wonderful, all the rolls veg or not were terrific, shrimp toast was my personal favorite, salads crisp, spicy and everything felt special and unique. Flavors so rich and vibrant felt like a special treat. It was perfect served with standard picnic fare a little elevated. The atmosphere of the party was pitch perfect, while retaining a quiet all American type picnic feel, the quality of both the food I had prepared and grilled, plus the array of flavors the appetizers added made it seem really special and definitely a treat and celebratory. It felt like someone really cared and tried to make it memorable and my guests were over the moon for this food. I would absolutely recommend dining there, we have a few times and it’s a family feeling you just can’t force or create without it being real. Thank you for your heart and talent to this wonderfully talented mother and daughter team!”

Oriole

Oriole 661 W Walnut St, Chicago Fine Dining • $$$$

“I often seek out experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants when traveling, and Chicago has its fair share of choices. I have dined several times at 3-star Alinea pre-pandemic, so I chose to book 2-star Oriole for this trip; it has perhaps the most buzz recently (ie, from Infatuation). Like Alinea, it's not just a meal, it's an experience, although less theatrical and perhaps more food-focused.\n\n Unassumingly located in a former warehouse on an alley, one enters the building via a small outdoor patio. There is a small reception area, part of which is a former freight elevator, where you are served a chilled tea. The elevator reminded me (and apparently other guests) of the Tower of Terror ride at Disney World's Hollywood Studios. The rear of the elevator opens up from the middle (as freight elevators do) and parties are individually escorted into the restaurant. Aside from a lounge area for waiting diners, there are 3 areas through which guests travel and take bites--the bar (3 bites), the open kitchen (one bite), and the dining room.\n\nWe may have seen Executive Chef/owner Noah Sandoval, but he blended in with the entire kitchen team, which was not small. The menu consisted of 14 courses/bites which surely change often; you are given a copy of your particular menu at the end of the experience, including whichever beverage pairing you had, if any. I had the non-alcoholic beverage pairing, which mostly consisted of highly complex tea-based drinks. A server told me all staff members participate in creating these elixirs.\n\nSince the courses surely change, it seems silly to list them all. I will say the 3 bites we had at the bar were all with raw or barely touched seafood and had broths so delicious we were slurping from the serving vessels like they were teacups. \n\nThe single bite served in the kitchen is perhaps the most memorable and unlikely to change with time. It's a Hudson Valley foie gras mousse served over toasted brioche and topped with blueberries--OMG!\n\nThe courses in the dining room were all fabulous and multi-layered. My faves were probably the Matsutake custard, the Wagyu ribeye and the carrot cake. \n\nOverall a pricey but unique and enthralling experience.”

Yao Yao

Yao Yao 230 W Cermak Rd, Chicago Chinese • $$

“My mom and I were in Chinatown looking for a place to have some great fried rice. Yao Yao came up when we searched Google and then we stumbled on it as we were walking so we decided to give it a try. It was clean, spacious and the decor was so cute! Upon reading the reviews further, we found out that this place’s specialty is their pickled fish and that it’s a Michelin star restaurant but we didn’t end up getting it. We ordered their shrimp fried rice with extra veggies, their shrimp Lo mein and their chili chicken. We were disappointed about the fried rice as it barely had any flavor and the shrimp for both the fried rice and Lo mein was lacking in flavor. We kept adding soy sauce and chili oil to make the rice taste decent but the other dishes were good! The chili chicken was very delicious and full of flavor!! We would go back again for the Lo mein, the chili chicken & to try the pickled fish next time but not the fried rice.”

Sushi by Bou - West Loop 311 N Morgan St, Chicago Sushi • $$$$

“Wow. It's simply impossible that fine dining could be this fantastic. Tashon, Jens, and Jackie rolled out the red carpet so amazingly, you would have thought our last name was Bou. Sebastian behind the counter was simply breathtaking. We've had omakase at some of the world's leading places in Miami, in Seattle, in NYC, and Tokyo, led by folks who were trained by one of the global icons, and I have to say that Sebastian's ability to create absolutely new and inventive tastes and flavors - while adhering to simple and gorgeous presentations - was simply unmatched. While Sebastian was working his magic, the rest of the team was working hard to make sure every other part of the experience was simply flawless. Water? Always full. Cocktails? We were always asked about how we enjoyed each one well before each was empty, by the expert mixologist who was able to explain the difference between how American mint and Japanese mint can enhance the flavor of certain beverages. Plates? Cleared instantly. Feedback welcomed by the chef? Absolutely. The energy level is not “watch me make your next item while the brightly lit room cowers in awkward silence” - like so many high end omakase spots. This experience is more like “Do you want to be sad when your dinner ends because you don't know when you're ever going to feel this happy with a meal?” There's so much more I could say, including how the effective background evening vibes by Utah's legendary DJ Ta-Salmon made us want to sing each employee's praises. As MJB once said, it truly feels like this team is a family, and it was a Family Affair. Concluding, let me say what MJB would - when you go to Sushi by Bou at Fulton Market - Leave your stress (and hunger) at the door, so when you step inside, you'll see what's in store. Sigh... I know every review is supposed to have one “constructive critique”, but we can't find a single flaw in our entire experience. Thank you, Sushi by Bao team!”

“I have only been to this restaurant once. From the outside it looks like its barely hanging on. It needs some sprucing on the outside. The interior though is classic and traditional. It has an interior that Bronzeville's Pearls Place could really use and space that Valois in Hyde Park really needs. I can also recall how good the pancakes were. I can't say much about anything else. It's been a while. My hope is that they could clean up and modernize the outside. For this they may need an infusion of cash. I believe the outside is where the business falls off a bit I mean you wouldn't even think it was open for business. Its the only place worth eating at in the whole 8th ward. The area is filled with junk food options and it's a shame. I will be back soon.”

The atmosphere is upscale but not pretentious (ask for a table in the back room, which is incredibly warm. The first room with the bar is a bit colder lighting-wise. No need to dress up but if you want to you won't be out of place). We got the bucatini polanco (perfection) and the bavette wagyu which was top three best steaks I ever had. On top of that the service was flawless. We told our server (I wish I remembered her name as she was the nicest) that we were a bit late for our after-dinner plans (also because we had to wait 25 minutes for our table, which is the only negative note but it was a Saturday night and thecrestaurant was packed so it was understandable) and asked our server if she could speed up our dishes and everything came in record time (but still giving us time to enjoy each of them).
