While staying at the Zach, Mordecai is very conveniently located right downstairs. Food & drinks were very good and I like the “small plate” format which allows to try different things without all of the add ons. We visited on a Friday night with Christkindlmarket across the street at Wrigley so very busy which may have attributed to the restaurant being very loud and seating tightly spaced. Overall though, a fun night.

The service was sparse. Our server was very pleasant, but unavailable and inattentive. Our foccacia appetizer took 45 minutes to arrive from time ordered, and our pastas took an hour for the first two to arrive, and then another 10 for the second two of our party to receive theirs. One of the pastas was incorrectly made, it it took 10 minutes for our server to resurface to have the kitchen remake it correctly, which took another 15 minutes, so the other three were finished eating before the fourth even received her meal. Lastly, it took forever to receive and pay for our meal. Unsure what was going on with our server. Then, the host validated our parking tickets incorrectly, causing us to return from the garage to have them validated correctly. No one seemed to know what they were doing. Perhaps all new employees? Despite the festive decor and cute setting, I would not recommend dining here. Will not return.

The food was excellent. Our server was superb! The drink were a little pricey, but that's true for any nice restaurant these days. Whenever we are in Wrigleyville, Mordecai is our go to restaurant.

We stopped in for a late night drink (so no food actually). Excellent service, large selection of whiskeys and cocktails from which to select. I received outstanding advice on which bourbon to use for my Manhattan, and server was friendly and knowledgeable. Recommended by Whiskey Advocate magazine, and very much worth stopping in for a visit!

The drinks and food are always on point here! It's a great place to grab a drink that's not a sticky floored bar in Wrigley!

I love to hit Mordecai before Cubs games. The staff is excellent, Their menu is short, efficient and delicious. It is all very reasonably priced. You simply can't beat it for a quick bite before the ballgame. Additionally the mixologist are talented and very accommodating.

Mordecai is our go to spot either before or after a Cubs Game. Food is great and service outstanding. We enjoy the ambiance in the off season as well.
Brian
Incredible pre-game Wild Card experience. Staff was extremely friendly & helpful. Food delicious as always. Great change of pace when you want a more elevated Cubs gameday experience. Can't wait to come back for dinner.

Really delicious food. We had buffalo burrata, focaccia, lobster, and smoked ribeye. It was all excellent, and the service was very attentive. We sat in the front window on a gorgeous evening, and the ambiance was stellar!
Kathy
Highly recommend! The atmosphere was fun looking out at historic Wrigley Field! The food was amazing. Large portions and homemade pasta and sauces. Delicious! We will be eating here again. Our server Landon was a delight! Very attentive and professional.
Restaurant was empty- came for happy hr to try the place- they would Only serve us at bar for happy hour. Falafel was dry, oysters had no flavor, tasted like they were rinsed with water. Sauce for polenta fries was just ok so I asked for marinara and it came 20 minutes later when I was done and fries were cold. Will not go back. Also, waitress with empty hands walking toward me made me move out of her way instead of stepping aside when I was headed back to my seat from bathroom. Rude.

Cozy, sophisticated, charming atmosphere. The bar was full and several tables were busy but not packed. We were able to hear & have a conversation without speaking over others. Server was attentive. Food was delicious. Drinks were good. Price seemed standard for the area. We would eat here again.

The hostess was exceptional and accommodating - she helped with a last minute change. The server was amazing!!! Funny too. The manager came around to make sure all was well. They had a great whisky flight! We had soo much fun!

Had the fried trout and it was amazing! The three finger old fashioned had the perfect flavor! The service was great!

Grabbed food at the bar before a Cubs game - high end sandwich fare and a proper cocktail! It was perfect.
