Great spot to meet friends for drinks and dinner . I loved the portobello burger and Brussels sprouts I ordered. Very warm and cozy atmosphere. Great local neighborhood hang out.

The chicken wings are great!! This place surprised me. Chicken sandwich, burger, fries, and Brussels sprouts are all yummy. Nice, quiet booths in the back. We like to come here during the week to catch up after work and have a quick, affordable date night when we don't feel like cooking. Super friendly staff.Note: Looks like the low reviews are from years ago before this was Platform 47.
Omg. Just had dinner to celebrate a life moment. Platform 47 Chicago was perfect for this! Ellie was an amazing server. Jason is always a fantastic host. And OMG the food!

Loved everything about my visit. Food was great (best blackened shrimp EVER), good drinks (margarita with fresh lime juice), and excellent service. Even got a free shot of an espresso martini from the owner! I will absolutely be back. Thank you for being so welcoming and serving such good food!

Good local spot, but service is hit or more likely miss. Any drinks with mixers will be murdered with sugar so best ordering canned, bottled, or draught. Unfortunately the place can’t handle a half full bar from a service perspective, so unless you’re a regular, pick your times wisely if you want to come here. I’ve been here 5 times and walked out twice because time to order crossed a 20 minutes threshold. Service might be poor to average, but everyone is super professional and nice.Parking: Standard Chicago street parking on a quiet section of Damen avenue. No problems parking most times. Also right by CTA brown line so driving isn’t even optimal

Fantastic, new spot for all your elevated comfort foods and fresh lime juice margaritas to knock your socks off. The owners are also the kindest, most genuine people you have ever met. Every detail of this casual dining experience has been thought of, down to the heavy plates flown from Argentina. The servers are happy and attentive because they are treated so well.My kids enjoyed the chicken tenders and a mountain of fries. My only wish is that they had a fruit option for the kids menu.Definitely consider this spot if you're in the area!Kid-friendliness: Lots of TVs and a decent kids menu. My picky kids loved the chicken tenders and asked for more! It comes with a mountain of great fries and apple juice or milk. I wish they had a fruit option for kids. We also tried butter noodles and Mac and Cheese but it was a bit too homemade, not blue box for my kids. Eye roll.

fantastic service and delicious food! We brought our one year old son and everyone was so friendly, inviting and attentive. Really enjoyed the buffalo egg rolls, wedge salad, fettuccine Alfredo and steak frites. We will definitely be back!

Best place to go with friends / date in Lincoln Square! The staff is so friendly and will take care of you. The inside is very welcoming and don’t even get me started on the food!! If you haven’t been, you need to visit ?
