I have gone to Cafe Ba-Ba Reeba many times over the last 20 years and they are always amazing. It has been a while since we have returned and the food was as impressive as always!

Great variety of food, even gluten-free dishes! All delicious - and the total bill was lower than I expected!

I've come here a tonnnn it's one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! But last night we had a server who seemed to misunderstand what we were saying. Two of our tapas didn't get put into the system and we had requested a pitcher of mango sangria first then swapped to white peach. They brought out another mango. Which was not a big deal we drank it and that's fine. But then requested another white peach and he brought another mango. At that point we sent it back to get the white peach because it's phenomenal.. and he came back with another mango saying it was white peach. It really bugged me because it's easy to tell it's not white peach by the color alone. Just didn't have a great experience and I wouldn't sit with the server again.

Reservation requests were honored! Group of 7 at round table. Waiter was fantastic service timely food all tasted great presented at different locations on table so everyone got to try something first Had peach sangria. Only disappointment was no actual peach pieces in sangria Still very tasty but an observation

This is a fantastic spot for a larger dinner reservation. We were able to try so many tapas and nothing disappointed! We finished with the paella and it was amazing! Pitchers of sangria added to the extraordinary experience! The waitstaff was knowledgeable about ingredients on the menu as well as the amount of food our party should order! I can't wait to return!!

Great atmosphere and the service was good. Only thing was that we selected birthday in the reservation and I am guessing this place doesn't do the birthday cheer or something. Thank you
Amy
Fun, tasty tapas and a really great wine selection. Enjoyed the restaurant and courteous staff.

Sunday brunch for the first time. My companion asked for a variation in the menu, the server said she would ask and the kitchen complied. That was very nice and a little unexpected at a busy time. We have eaten there many times for dinner so we knew the menu and the quality. Our dishes were excellent, our server was helpful. The price was less than expected...nice surprise!

Disappointing dinner overpriced and almost non-existent portions to share. Not the same experience I remember.
We specifically chose Ba Ba Reeba because they listed paella on their menu, and my husband loves paella so I wanted him to have it for his birthday. We were anticipating a wonderful eating experience . We ordered the seafood paella and patiently waited 45 minutes for it to be prepared. We were very disappointed in the flavor, quantity of seafood included and presentation of the paella. We would not recommend paella at BaBaReeba.

I've been coming here for 10 years and it's still one of my favorite tapas spots in Chicago. The food's always on point, the vibe is cozy-great, and the sangria never disappoints. It's a solid pick for a first date or a romantic dinner with your one!

Cafe Ba Ba Reba is a favorite of our family and never fails to impress. This time we did a dinner for my sister's bachelorette party and all of the guests loved it.
