One of the best happy hours in the city!! They have the best, most curated cocktails! Oysters are always good, great wine selection and great appertif selection. Little bit in the vegetarian side for dishes nowadays, but I hope the new chef will at least put some sourdough options on the table! Allassandra and Chelsea are exceptional bartenders.

One of the great margaritas I’ve ever had.Those are not small words.Actually everything was great. Loved the burger. Service was perfect.But, the margarita…

After walking and driving past this place all the time since it opened, I finally made it in for happy hour. The specials are pretty good, especially the Manhattan and Fries, both for $5. They were both delicious and high quality! Unfortunately the only dipping sauce they have is ketchup.We also ordered a spinach salad, burger, and cheese board. The salad was giant, and could easily be an entree on its own. The burger was a thick patty, which I don't normally like, but this was delicious with giardiniera and generous cheese. Lastly, they brought out the cheese board as a kind of dessert. I enjoyed all the cheeses and apple butter is one of my favorites.The bartender was also super nice, and allowed us to try several wines before we settled on one.Overall we have a great time and will definitely be back for another happy hour or Wine Wednesday to try out the extensive wine selection.

Last night was my 3rd meal at Parkside. The food and beverages were exciting and nourishing. The service was so welcoming. My friends and I all remarked at how much fun it was in our morning after group chat: the kind of experience that makes going to a nice dinner to catch up with friends the highlight of the week! I can't wait to make my next reservation. Thanks, team Parkside!

Great space, nice ambience. Food was hit or miss. Brandade was nice. Some dishes had real odd flavor combinations like the cured fish and melon, or the pork chop in blubbery bbq sauce. Chef seems to like sour profiles without a balance of sweetness.

All the food we had was excellent. We started with two small/shared plates- the cornbread and caviar was good but the spaghetti squash stole the show. Short ribs were amazing, and the dessert options were a great way to finish. All around a great experience and we'll definitely be going back.

So far I have dined here twice! Value is really great for service and quality of food. My first time here was for a girls' night and second time with family. Both times we got the carrot pate and steak tartar and both are SO good! Someone in my family group is a vegetarian--if you stick to small plate there are tons of veggie options that everyone will like. The desserts here are also incredible. Can't wait to return!

My partner and I went to dinner here over the weekend and we LOVED it! We wanted to try some place new for a date night and this fit perfectly for it. The interior is very sleek yet cozy. We ordered several cocktails which were delicious. Their wine selection was great too, we ordered a bottle for our main courses. The menu is built with the intention of ordering several plates. We shared a few starter plates and each got our own mains, plus a dessert to share. Each dish was very flavorful and everything tasted super fresh. (I will note that if you're looking for large portions, this place may not be for you.) The attentive and friendly staff made everything better too! We had Robert as our server, he was knowledgeable of the menu and timed everything out well. Sarah greeted us and sat us, she was really nice and had a great energy. We even met the owner as she visited our table a few times to tell us about the foods we were eating and ask how everything was going. Rebecca knows what she is doing! Overall, we had a great night here. The food, the drinks, the service made it very memorable. We highly recommend and we will be back!

One of my favorite new spots in Chicago. Nice space, great and creative dishes and the service is top notch. HIGHLY recommend!

We really enjoyed our dinner at L&M Parkside. Our server was very attentive and recommended a handful of dishes that we ended up loving—particularly the carrot pâté. The cast iron steak was also delicious. My only complaint is that I wish the portion would be larger!Can't wait to return.
The drinks were delicious, we really enjoyed the Shishito pepper appetizer. The main vegetarian meal was not our favorite, but the appetizers were all great!

Jourdan was amazing. Anticipated our rhythm and lined bus and runner in perfect harmony. Food was exquisite too. We’ll be back!

The best restaurant to open near me in years. Fresh ingredients put together in interesting ways and cooked perfectly in a friendly and stylish atmosphere. Everyone should try this place!

Food and drinks were amazing! We ended up ordering 5 dishes and 5 drinks (just to try variety).The carrot pate & cornbread + caviar I thought we would try for the heck of it. But they ended up shocking me they were so good. Highly recommend!The mains (steak & sea bream) we're cooked to perfection!Drinks of course could vary based on your liking, but our favorites were the Lychee Spritz, Soiree, Floral Frizz.Oh and last but not least - we got the peaches and cream dessert. We loved it. Texture and taste was great. All flavors blended well.All and all, a great restaurant. Amazing food and easy going vibe. We will definitely be coming back!

Delicious cocktails, great wine list, and friendly service. The corn custard was exceptional. Only negative was a sea bream that hadn't been properly gutted so there was still intestine in the fish and it was undercooked. So, the meat was still somewhat translucent and an undesirable texture. I would still go back and give it another try.
