“Hands down one of the best restaurants in Chicago. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every dish is so flavorful and on point but Elia does it so gracefully! Amazing atmosphere and great service - Ebrar made our dinner experience so enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This place is hands down the best restaurant in the city. The food is unreal good I mean like go out for milk and never come back good. The head partner chef Joe Rizza is a Jedi in the kitchen and an absolute class act. He always makes time to come say hi when we stop in. Main reason why I like going. Besides the fact that the prices r normal but the food is anything but. #amazing love the location love the vibe u have to go“

“John provided us with exceptional service and a night we’ll never forget. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary and the food, drinks and service were on point!“

“Mariscos San Pedro has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. The tuna tostada is amazing, definitely do the otoro upgrade. You can’t go wrong with any of the whole fish options, each are so flavorful and tender. The cocktails are really great and they have half priced bottles of wine on Mondays. I was hesitant but one of the chefs was explaining the Sonoran hot dog, and I️ couldn’t resist, it was amazing. They recently launched their brunch menu too and they have a lot of great selections and the pastries are incredible“

“I went for a friends graduation brunch, and it was definitely a hopping spot in the city, and I can see the appeal for the rooftop views alone, but I think it’s a bit overpriced for what you’re getting in my opinion. I had the biscuits and gravy ($25) which was fine but also strange in that it tasted more like a chowder than gravy. I also got the chocolate chip cookies which were and came in an order of 3 for $12. As I said, a bit overpriced for cookies, but actually felt worth it for their size and deliciousness. Of course, part of why you’re coming here is for the views and this place did not disappoint! Despite it being a very hot day outside, there was a good crowd out there especially because there’s a bar on the patio as well. And even though it was very busy throughout the entire time there, my party and I had fairly consistent service, although I did have my drink order forgotten, but the server ended up comping me for it, which made up for it.“

“Excellent food! We really liked it.“

“A wonderful spot to sit down and have a drink and apps. The bartender Carli was very kind a gave great suggestions which made the experience that much better. Matt was very personable, talking to me about music and my visit to Chicago, great vibes all around. I’m from the south and I wish we had oysters half as good as the pickled oysters on the menu. Hats off to Queen Mary’s“

“The best crab cakes I’ve had. Loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic!! Absolutely recommend this all day, every day!“

“I meant to grab something to eat at Sweetgreen across the street and walk past Brown Bag Seafood. The place has cosy seating, good music and nice vibes so I gave it a try. The food is delicious, reasonably priced and sustainably sourced. I’ll certainly come back.“

“Saturday evening was my first time at Parsons. The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. Our server definitely did not forget us. I had the shrimp basket...delicious and my son had the fish and chips and he also said they were delicious. We definitely will go back.“

“I went here first time and I was so impressed. Great good. I ordered fish n chips and they brought out malt vinegar even without me asking. We ordered salmon platter. It was phenomenal. Wow. Definitely recommend this place 10/10“

“The most amazing seafood rolls on the planet. Convenient and delicious. Anytime you're looking to treat yourself WHILE AT WORK, Luke's is a great place to duck in and pick up food or sit down and eat with such fast service from the lobster team“

“shrimp is huge and it's cooked to order so worth the wait. I used to live in Chicago, now I live in Orlando Florida and came all the way here for the shrimp...absolutely good!!“

“Cannot recommend this team and Brown Bag location enough. Nesha, Tristan, Ari, and Niyah are all-stars. Everyone is so warm every time we come in. 😊“

“Definitely recommend! First time ordering - ordered orange chicken and ken kee fried rice - will be ordering again!!“

“Absolutely Perfect Night at Oliver's

Everything about our experience at Oliver's was amazing and absolutely worth it. Here’s what stood out:

Drinks: The Oliver’s Martini is an absolute must-try – and trust me, upgrading to the caviar olives is a game changer. The Espresso Martini was another standout, and the Old Fashioned was perfectly crafted.

Food: Every bite was a delight. The bread and crispy artichokes were the perfect start. For mains, the scallops and burger were nothing short of top tier – flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely satisfying.

Dessert: We couldn’t resist diving into two options – the Key Lime Cheesecake and the Salted Caramel. Both were exceptional, and we’re already looking forward to trying more on our next visit.

In summary, Oliver’s delivered on every level – incredible drinks, standout dishes, and desserts that leave you wanting more. We can’t wait to return!“

“Celebrated my birthday here and had a wonderful time! Great food, and really enjoy the Cosmopolitan martini! 🍸 I had the Branzino. All delicious! Recommend!👍🏽“

“baha restaurant 2nd Aniversario“

“This location is extraordinarily efficient, friendly and thoughtful. I work in the building and frequently eat here a couple times a week. Top tier service, top tier environment. They will actually remember your name order and even ask how your weekend was remembering what you said last week. You can’t buy service like that anymore. Absolutely recommend.“

“The food was delicious!!!“

“I love this location! Bright + sunny. A lot of space. Great for larger groups! Meter or residential parking not too bad. Similar to the original location regarding the food with more options. Fun for kids too with the big TV screen and active atmosphere! 🌮“

“We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday last night. The service was great and the food was perfect. If we ever come back to town this will be a must do. We weren’t sure what to expect since his brother planned the dinner but I couldn’t have asked for anything better.“

“Food was great and the paper and carrots were fantastic. I'll definitely be back again“

“I absolutely love BB seafood! I use to go to the one on Randolph, but I no longer work in the city so today I took the Metra to the one that’s just a 5 minute walk from the OTC station and this location did not disappoint. I love their veggie blend, the juice that they put on it makes it a 10/10 & it’s honestly the reason I come here. I usually get the salmon with the veggie blend but today I tried the grains and I was not a fan, so Kim and Jose made it right. Kim is so pleasant, attentive and had great customer service. I can see why Jose won the “extra mile” award, he remade my meal which was totally unexpected but very much appreciated and him going the extra mile for me means I’ll keep going the extra miles on the Metra for my Brown Bag. Jose was very personable, kind and helpful. Thank you!

Vegetarian options: Greens, grains etc, they have lots of veggie only options.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to get here from the sidewalk and they have a double doors.“

“Had a group meeting and the staff created a 4 course dinner for us. Fantastic selections and service was over the top. Highly recommend if you’re in the neighborhood.“

“I had never heard of this place. I did a quick search to find something while I was out. This popped up, and I’m glad I stopped by. Good food, friendly staff and cool atmosphere! I will definitely be back.“

“So, this was my first time and my parents were with me. The place is cute, the seafood was so delicioso, flavorful, and fresh. Our server, Rosa, was attentive and friendly. They were busy, so you know people love the food. Great overall experience.“

“Really good and fresh sushi at great prices. Love this place.“

“Beautiful Birthday dinner here in one of the cabanas. Liked the privacy and obscuridad the cabanas and low lights gave. Flavors of soup , scallops, and rib eye were great. Definitely recommend for a date night or girls night 😍“

“This place is so cute. The ambiance is chill and sexy for a date or cool to have a girl's night out like I did. Even the neighborhood was really cute. The drinks were very delicious and refreshing. We ordered the shareable ribeye, mashed potatoes, broccolini and mac n cheese. Everything was great! Our server was amazing and just attentive enough without over checking on us. He was very good. If you have the opportunity to try this restaurant, please go!“
