The best bar-bistrot we found in Chicago. If we lived nearby, we’d happily call this our local.

My new favorite burger in the city. Incredible flavor. The fingerling potatoes and goat cheese curds are equally exceptional. The malt vinegar mayo is super addicting - I'll be making that at home!

Aya bread is not the same. Time to switch it out.

I was excited to stop here for drinks before dinner. They gave us the worst seat in the sunny window on a tiny ledge and said nothing else was available, but the bar and tables were pretty empty inside the entire time we were there. We asked to sit at the bar and lady said no because they were trying to save it for a larger group but then a few minutes later a single patron sat there for a glass of wine, it was just odd. The other people working were nice but service was slow. It was pretty expensive for the ambience and slow service, I couldn't wait to get the check and head somewhere else.

I ordered catering for an event at my spa. The food (charcuterie, sandwiches and dessert) was high quality and elegantly presented. My order was ready on time and the service was friendly. Highly recommend this Ukrainian Village neighborhood gem!

I have loved this place for years! Their products are top notch and service is amazing. They recently helped me resolve a delivery issue (NOT on their end!!) and went absolutely above and beyond in terms of their communication with me and with the third-party vendor who created the problem. I heard how busy the restaurant was in the background and have rarely if ever experienced such care and attention even when it’s not the weekend rush. I’m totally in their debt and, of course, the food was perfect. I wish I remembered the employees’ names who helped me - I believe one was Chrissy? As well as a manager. Totally blown away!!

The English Muffin takes center stage at Easter Brunch! Procured the English Muffin platter for delivery using Dwell Social. My photo does not do it justice because we already started to dig in. ATN elevates the English muffin to a whole new level. I ordered bc I like English muffins and homemade artisan are hard to find. They also have significantly fewer carbs than bagels ( their signature platter) but I was going for flavor. They did not disappoint. A delectable thick slice ft breakfast bread. Indescribably delicious. The muffins are accompanied with churned butter, fresh chèvre, and a berry preserve. Individually or in combination with each other, kicked it up a notch. But don’t stop there. Depending on what else you are serving, you can add a protein. The chèvre softens on the heated muffin and add a slice of ham.
Toast them. You will probably need to turn up the time as they are thick and dense.
Speaking of toast They are an exceptional base for avocado toast. The possibilities are unlimited.

I went online to order a birthday gift for my friend and business partner. Even though I was having it shipped there were so many cool options to choose from. I decided on a bundled set, branded coffee mug and some extra crunch mix. The delayed shipping option was a plus as I wanted the package to arrive in the future. Unfortunately there seemed to be a glitch in the UPS or their system. I was anticipating a notification of shipping which did not arrive. A quick email through their website (contact us function) and shortly after I received an update from the shop. Their team did some sleuthing but still did not know for sure what was happening at the shipping provider. They took action and made everything right on my end by the end of the day. Though the gift was not a complete surprise it was the recipients first experience from ATGN and that's a win for me. My quick take: Strongly recommend ATGN for gifts or just yummy things for yourself/home. Will repeat in the future.
wonderfully unique 70s-esque wine experience, had high wine expectations, and then the food blew us out of the water.... malt vinegar/mayo FOREVERRRRR

The fried goat cheese was so so so good. The wine was great and the service was even better. A bit pricey for two small dishes and two glasses of wine (a bit less than $100) but I’m not too mad about it.

First off I want to say that we did enjoy our experience here and we did enjoy the food, there were just some things that slightly dampened our experience while we were there.
We arrived at 1:55pm and looked through the menu for about 10 minutes before ordering some glasses of wine and some food. My friend and I split a cheese board and I did think that it was weird that no preferences were asked, but no big deal we didn't mind. However when I asked which cheeses were on the board the waitress didn't know. We brushed that off, but probably would have preferred a little bit more information on what we were getting or at least her offering to ask what the cheeses were for us. Food came out it was really delicious as was all of our wines.
We had a friend join us about 45 minutes to an hour later and only then were presented with the happy hour menu right before we were about to order another round of drinks. I don't mind paying full price, but if happy hour starts after our order was taken (on our check our order was put in at 2:07 HH starts at 2) and not even a mention of it I thought was a little inconsiderate, but we brushed this off as well.
What really upset me after all of this was when our waitress came out with our second round of drinks one of the beers was half full because it tapped out. She told us she would comp the one beer and we were completely okay with that. When the bill arrived our waitress informed us that she comped two of our beers instead and I said I really appreciated it and tapped my card. Upon looking at the receipt when I got home to split the check with my friends I realized that not a single beer was comped which really bothered me. 20% gratuity was added automatically which is fine that's what I add anyways, but now i'm wondering if maybe that's why we never received the HH menu upon arrival.
Overall our food and wine was great and I will be back I really enjoyed the vibe I just hope the next experience will be better.

Amazing food and wine, coupled with some of the best service in the city!!!
Great happy hour menu! I ordered from their main menu because I wanted petnat and orange specifically (and it was very friendly priced) but my friends got great deals ordering from HH menu. Beautiful aesthetic inside with cool bottles for purchase.
