We had a very nice evening here. The ambience is great, especially when you sit by the window and the theater next door is finishing its show. Then you can really watch some interesting people. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.The service is good and friendly. We were served quickly and courteously.The food was very good and exceptional. I had very good wings with a honey vinegar breading and also a really good lemon tiramisu.

Wonderful food! Duck butter abd rooks was very good. Roasted brussel sprouts were perfect. But the scallops were to die for.

Monet J was our server and she was fantastic! It is my birthday and we stopped by for an appetizer before our next outing. The cauliflower soup and rolls were a smash hit. I would come back again for dinner.

The Dearborn is my happy place! The servers (especially Pedro and Whitney) provide exquisite attention. The Prosciutto and Fried Egg Pizza is soooo delicious it has become the favorite ever! Crispy, with a perfect balance of slightly sweet saba dotted with prosciutto on house made thin crust a makes it a culinary treat! The music provides a great, spirited and relaxing atmosphere. It is a favorite and I'm confident if you go there, you will agree! Make reservations as it fills up fast!

The fish & chips and mac & cheese were amazing! Food was outstanding. The only reason for a star off was service was subpar. We got a lot of dirty looks from patrons in the restaurant too with a baby.

I really wanted to give 5stars. We had 3 adults and 3 children (10, 11 &12). Started w/Parker House Rolls ~ highly recommend. Then bone marrow, foie grau dumplings and more bread. The kids had steak, fish&chips and short rib. I had the lamb, son had the Wellington burger, his wife had the steak. My son was not as pleased with the burger as he had hoped. The truffle fries were excellent. Our waitress was on top of things. Then the downturn ~ my son and I got the sorbet ~ it wasn't quite frozen so the texture was kinda slimy and the taste wasn't quite right. We ordered the bake-to-order cookies. Waited and waited and waited some more. Turns out the order wasn't put in or not put in the oven. My son's wife waited for the cookies while we waited in the bus lane for another 15min. The cookies were (almost) raw in the middle. Unfortunate end to a mostly excellent meal experience.

I don't know if you can call this the best burger in Chicago, but it is definitely my favorite. Be sure to get the parm fries. Great beer on tap and atmosphere. I've never had to wait for a table. Excellent service too. Definitely the best restaurant in the Loop, and one of the best in Chicago.

The hosting was a bit pretentious, but the experience honestly wasn't too far off from the presentation/price. Server was helpful, attentive, and friendly. Kitchen was fast and accurate. Yellowfin tuna was delicious, tender, and well-balanced in the

My husband & I both agreed that the Mariniated Short Rib at The Dearborn is one of the best meals we have ever had. The marinade is absolutely delicious. We are still talking about it three days later following our meal here. Can’t beat the friendly and attentive service. We can’t wait to come back and try more.

Thursday dinner - nicely designed interior but found food and service lacking. There are much better places to eat in Chicago.

Phenomenal dining experience! The Loop is pretty lackluster in terms of food options in my opinion, however The Dearborn is a clear standout and exception. Their signature burger is one of the best that you'll find in the city and the appetizer selection is full of variety and tasty options. The cocktail selection is also delicious and they have a lot of good beers on tap as well.
