This is the perfect spot to take visitors. Had some friends in town and ordered for the table - group favorites were the chorizo queso dip, goat empanadas, and shrimp ceviche

Not sure what “reservation” really means here. Do you actually have to wait an hour just to get in? And once you're seated, it feels like the waiter is pressuring you to finish quickly so they can clear your table. More like a bar, not a restaurant.

One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Great ambience, I felt transported! The goat empanadas and steak saltado are outstanding!! The only dish we didn't like was the street corn.

Cabra seems like a hip place for those within 10 years of 31. It's loud and beautiful with solid food prettily presented. I didn't find any of the food terribly exciting or revelatory, though the French toast was a level above most.
Caroline
The food was solid but the excessively loud music and poor service ruined the entire experience. I'm bummed because I've been here many times and really enjoyed my experience. Unfortunately, the loud dance club music made it impossible to talk with my friends who were in from out of town. We'd also order a drink only to have to remind the waiter 30 minutes later about our order. Don't think I'll be coming back again :(

Waited more than 5 minutes for the hostess to seat us. There was only one server and unfortunately the service was slow. She was doing a good job but maybe she needed extra help! The ceviche was fire tho!
Beth
Food was the disappointing part. All of it was over salted, over sauced, over fried. They'd be better off cooking with less of all of it
Alicia
My food was really good, and the patio area is beautiful! Services was nice but a little slow. I waited a very long time for my check once I was ready to go.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND CABRA! The food was FANTASTIC and the service was great. The only negative I have is the drinks were a little overpriced for the value.

The ambiance is amazing! Great view of the neighborhood from up high. We went for Grazing Hour and loved the wings, dips, and drinks. It was my birthday, and they brought out a refreshing ice cream with a lit candle. Super kind!
I've enjoyed incredible food in Lima and wanted to treat my Peruvian friend to dinner so I chose Cabra. Stephanie Izard is one of my culinary heroes so I chose Canta and we were not disappointed. Ceviche, causa, shishitos and a wonderful pisco sour hit the spot. Service was perfect!
Kelley
So happy that we went to Cabra and sat outside under the heated lamps! It was excellent from service to food! Had a wonderful night

The food here is hit or miss...most cold items had a LOT of pickled onions and mint included, both of which I usually really like. The Bass Ceviche was very tasty but had too much liquid as did the Strawberry Mixto - it was hard to distinguish between what was seafood and what was another pickled onion when trying to get a bite. The Tuna Titaki was lackluster and the Seared Goat Salad was only good because we took off the mountain of pickled onions. The warm food was all pretty great - Duck Empanadas, Seared Halibut, Corn and Choclo, Salchipapas, and Blistered Shishitos. The dessert was tasty as well, lime & hibiscus + vanilla soft serve swirl. Having been to Girl and the Goat a few days before I have to say that the dishes are not as creative as I would have expected given the hype around this restaurant group (read: more pickled onions and mint). I would say that some dishes are very standout but not enough to be worth the money as it seems like quite the gamble.
