Tapas Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Kind hearted people are quite rare to find as cooperate people or as individuals also. I'm sharing a 4 years friendship and business relationship i've shared with Mr Ralph Carico for being such an awesome, kind and specially oriented. Thank you for being supportive each time i buy and invest in digital stocks and coins with your firm.“

“Menu is versatile and delivers whether you’re going for a quick lunch or a nice dinner. Pork is the specialty and I vouch. I don’t order tenderloins at restaurants typically but this is probably the best I’ve had — perfectly cooked and a great dish overall. Not among the top echelon of Michelin restaurants ive been to, but not far behind.“

“Fabulous food and service! Andrii was a fantastic server! Recommend the Pan Con Tomate and Croquettas!“

“Great view music and drinks“

“We have enjoyed several special occasion meals at Mercat and always enjoy our experience. The dinner we just had for my husband's birthday was an excellent. We were greeted with glasses of Cava in celebration for his birthday, and concluded our meal with an outstanding Basque Cheesecake for dessert, all compliments of the house. The food was great, with the exception of the patatas bravas, which were just nothing special. Our server was so kind and helpful, and kept checking in with us to make sure everything was ok. Pulpo was perfectly grilled. Lamb chops arrived properly cooked rare as requested. This has become one of our favorite restaurants.“

“Saturday afternoon stop for a brew and snack. Wings were on the Smokey side.“

Above all the service was excellent. The hostess explained the menu and gave recommendations based on what I was looking for.“

“Ok wait, this place is actually the best. I came in in the afternoon and was impressed with how warmly I was greeted. The steak salad was dynamite, a great recommendation from my server.

“Food is delisiooosaaaa, they have the best shrimps with cream and pan calientito Chairs are too high I'm short, but any way i like the place“

“I liked the food, drinks, and the ambiance. It's nicely decorated, cozy, and nice. I think, service can be significantly improved. Our server didn't know anything about any dishes. She couldn't answer any of the questions. Our facial expressions showed she is least interested in serving or working. I really want to go back because of the food, drinks and ambiance, but it makes me give a 2nd thought because of the server's behavior“

“Love this place! Every time we go is such a great romantic experience. You can never go wrong with tapas specially at this restaurant!“

“I had an amazing time at the bar thanks to Priya! She was not only friendly but also incredibly skilled at crafting drinks. Every cocktail she made was spot on, and she took the time to recommend drinks based on our preferences. Her service was fast, attentive, and added so much to the overall experience. Highly recommend stopping by and having Priya mix up something special for you!“

“Staff friendly. Food was very good. Will go again.“

“The Food and service was great!“

“Hands down, the best bar food in the neighborhood! Pretzel-crusted walleye is ridiculous along with the olive-sized steamed mussels. But as good as the food, the bartenders crush it even more. Responsive, accommodating and authentically friendly.“

“YOOOO the gilty pig is insane! They have "popped up" at my farm a few times now, and each time I am amazed by the flavors and complexity they bring to "simple dishes". They take a brat and turn it into a full asian inspired meal. Now if the food wasnt enough, this truck could not be run by two better people. They deserve all of the awesome things that are coming their way. Keep killin it, guys!“

“This hotel is so beautiful and I love the experience. I booked May 17th during Cowboy Carter Beyonce weekend concert and was supposed to stay at JW Marriott which I had reserved and planned for however the rooms were overbooked and there was no space for me. Management did speak with me and informed me not to worry and that they can accommodate me 4-5 minutes away at The Gwen Luxury hotel which was gorgeous. I was on the run the entire time so I did not get to enjoy everything there but I would love to come back to experience this hotel and the brunch event. I highly recommend this hotel for a birthday, anniversary, wedding or special occasion it is top tier and outstanding.“

“WineStyles in Norwood Park is a hidden gem!
It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass (or two) of wine in a cozy, welcoming space. The staff is always friendly, and the wine club is such a fun way to discover new favorites. Whether you’re stopping in with friends or picking up a bottle, this place never disappoints. Definitely a spot you should check out!“

“Lovely atmosphere and great service. Unique dishes, vegan and vegetarian options in shareable portions that are delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try some more!“

“Im embarrassed it took us a couple of years to finally dine here but I'm SO grateful we FINALLY arrived and assure you we will be back again soon. Fun cocktail menu, great wine list and an impeccably delivered menu and great service! Thank you for the perfect date night!“

“Wait staff were helpful in menu choices and made time to discuss to converse during peak hours. Draw back, final tab includes 3.50% up charge creating confusion over the actual allocation. Rising cost of menu items should be added to each menu items instead of a flat 3.5% feel. This is misleading and no benefit for the wait staff. Challenge the fee and provide as an additional tip or simple retain the savings.“

“First time in Chicago and first meal was at Ema’s. The staff were the most amazing and generous to us. I highly recommend Ema’s for your Mediterranean cravings.“

“It has quickly become one of my favorite spots! Been here three times, and the food is consistently delicious, and I especially appreciate that the ambiance is perfect for conversation. My first visit was at the bar with my manager, and we really enjoyed the tapas-style dinner, sharing different plates. My second visit was with a good friend, and I had your signature red snapper dish. As someone who is Cambodian, it immediately reminded me of how my dad used to cook our catfish... it was absolutely delicious! Most recently, I tried the sea bass, and as expected, it was very delectable. This is definitely a spot I plan to keep visiting!“

“Came here to satisfy my craving for Thai food, and thankfully I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered the Thai larb, which I would recommend! Spicy, savory, and hefty portion sizes - what’s not to love? Don’t let the unassuming exterior of the restaurant fool you - it packs a pretty solid meal if you decide to venture in. Our food did come somewhat slowly, but I don’t fault them for that in the slightest since they were short staffed and were very communicative of this circumstance.“

“Also great atmosphere..awesome unlimited brunch drinks.. good food!“

“I’ve always loved sunnygun. They have an amazing frose, it’s gin based and not too sweet. Two froses will definitely have you lit! But they also know every classic cocktail and the prices are less than most cocktail bars in west loop. My favorite bartenders are Nic and Maeve - they can make a classic cocktail or create one based off your taste. They are usually playing R&b or Rap, so it’s always a vibe. I can’t express it enough that this is my favorite cocktail bar in the city.“

“As someone born and raised in the Deep South, this soul food is some of the best I’ve ever had. They hit all the marks for me to give a 5 out of 5 , bringing a perfect balance of quantity, quality, and price. You get what you pay for, you’ll love what you’re eating, and you won’t leave hungry.

PS: Make sure to order the banana pudding. You won’t be disappointed, and I’ll vouch for it by saying it’s even better than my grandma’s family recipe (which means it’s damn good)!“
