Cira is a must try. The food, atmosphere and service is 10/10. Chef Pat Sheerin is one of my favorite Chicago chefs. Love he is there and bringing his creative dishes. All the food was fresh and creative. Loved the hummus, carrots, octopus, chicken, pasta primavera and the baba ganoush could be my full meal and I’d be happy. The dining room is gorgeous. Staff is so friendly and they have valet! What else could you ask for?!Dietary restrictions: I have a food allergy and they were so careful and thorough. Very much appreciate the attention to food safety.
The cocktails were good. The shakshuka was delicious. The fluffy pancakes were really nice as well

I love this place. I came for brunch on both Thanksgiving and Easter. The service is always outstanding and I love the general vibe. Soaring ceilings, fireplace, velvet colorful seating, big windows with the green line whizzing by and the food is always great.

This was my second time at Cira. We were a group of four and we tried several different items, all vegetarian. The food was very good to excellent, interesting and not overly rich (oily). The desserts, on the other hand, were only good. The chocolate galette, for example, was not very chocolaty. The service was excellent, knowledgeable and attentive.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my experience at the first floor bar at The Hoxton during my most recent visit. I come here pretty often. The bartender who is pretty awesome, must've had a bad day last night. I had an unpleasant interaction with her that affected my experience.

The service and food were incredible! As a vegetarian, I was so happy with all the food options. I felt excited to share and try new things , and also left with curiosity to try the rest of the menu!

Fabulous place for brunch in a weekend! There is a cool buzzy ambience that is energetic but not loud. Shakshuka was delicious and also the mushroom omelet. Omelets aren't unique but the eggs had a delightful buttery flavor and the mushrooms were a great accent. I was worried about the cream sauce as it sometimes is too much but it was perfect. Also had the mexzcal cucumber basil drink which was refreshing. And the coffee was nice and hot!

Had brunch yesterday with my wife and sister. The food was great, and I do have to say the service from the waitress to the staff/chef were incredible. They accommodated my wife’s allergy and had no problem going above and beyond when she asked questions about meal items. Highly recommend for brunch and other meals!
One of my favorite restaurant destinations!! The team at Cira, the ambiance, the visual aesthetic, the quality of food… everything is consistently amazing!!

Great place. Beautiful ambience and good food. Def on the expensive side but that is normal for the area.We went to celebrate my nephews bday and we were blown away by the attention. Brian V took great care of us, providing some bday treats along the way. He made the evening fun and special.Extremely minor but there was an $1 bday charge on the bill, which we have never seen anywhere else. We were happy to pay it but found it odd.Will def visit again.

So many delicious vegetarian options (or ways to make the dishes vegetarian for some but not all). Our server was fantastic and so kind and fun, definitely made the experience even better. We sat three in a u shaped booth and it was comfy and easy to talk to each other. Would definitely recommend.

I don't know that I dined somewhere that all the servers seemed inconvenienced to be there. Food was average but service is why I will never go back. It was St. Patrick's Day and from the greeting to the departure it sucked.

The atmosphere, the service and the food is excellent. A very goos variation of appetizers. Definitely going to come back when I’m in town. The green salad with fennel and brown butter hummus are dementia!
