Chef's Special Cocktail Bar offers a memorable dining experience with its unique and delicious dishes. The knowledgeable mixologist, Nora, crafts ten specialty drinks while providing excellent service. Popular menu items include walnut shrimp, green beans, fried rice, and Sweet and Sour Chicken, all expertly prepared. The restaurant is known for its friendly staff, good vibe, and a great selection of cocktails, including a twist on a classic martini called the serpentine. Customers have enjoyed the White Lotus inspired drink, which was strong, and the newly launched shrimp toast, featuring a mild flavor with ramps, chili crisps, and yuzu mayo. The crab Rangoons are flavorful, though some wish they were more packed for the price. The walnut shrimp is crispy, crunchy, and lightly sweet, and the black sesame cake with ube ice cream, roasted strawberries, mochi, and toasted meringue is considered the best part of the meal, allowing for enjoyable customization of each bite. Overall, this popular Chicago establishment is known for its exceptional food, attentive staff, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a date or special occasion. Reservations are recommended.
