Diner Reviews

"Every one in our four person group LOVED the food. Each dish was presented in a fun way and was delicious."
Dined on 7/19/2014
"This place is a little tricky to find. It's on a nondescript, empty street about 3 blocks from bustling Randolph Row, a somewhat hidden spot without many windows on the front. But inside, it's a whole other world. Beautiful, hip, modern, edgy - and that's just the decor. The cocktails are very imaginative. The food, which is seasonal, did not disappoint at all. The halibut en papillote was especially a standout, as were the fingerlings in bechamel. Good service, too. If you can find the place - don't be fooled by the desolate surroundings - you'll be glad you did."

"I loved my experience at Fulton Market Kitchen! The filet mignon and whole red snapper dishes were both definitely something to write home about. Manager Noah Borden added to the experience, stopping by to talk with my table several times. He was sweet and charming! Definitely will return with friends."

"The food was good and I wouldn't complain about that at all- the service however was not good. Went for a light meal and the waitress let us know she wasn't into us only ordering a few small plates by her attitude."

"First time going to Fulton Market, on the recommendation of a good friend. It's kind of tucked away, so at first I thought I was heading to a warehouse. When you open the door that feeling immediately changes, it's a visually catching experience with different art pieces in every direction. The food was first class, ordered the sweetbreads and scallops, beef tartare, the two tails, and followed everything up with the suckling pig for 2.....PORK!!!! All were delicious. The cocktail list was pretty intense with a lot of traditional-ish cocktails, The beer list is definitely for people who know about beer, which goes with the whole Foodie vibe of the Randolph Corridor. Service was good, Manager was awesome. Would definitely return."

"Great design, color paintings. Terrific people watching. Good concept. Poor execution. The food wasn't good. We sent the octopus back after one bite. Bad odor and very fishy taste Breaded tiny sweetbreads and scallops sounded better than tasted, bland and way too much breading. The ravioli with foie gras and the burger were good. Go for drinks"

"Would have enjoyed it more if we were seated in the main dining room. Food was decent. Not great. Pricey!!!!"

"This restaurant/bar/art gallery has it all! The walls are covered with vibrant graffiti murals, superhero renditions, and an ever changing array of paintings from a variety of artists. To match the decor, beverage director Brian Sturgulewski designed an equally creative list of cocktails including a bourbon drink with Earl Gray tea infusions to a wonderful concoction of oak-barreled infused Scotch and cold pressed coffee syrup. The menu changes seasonally, so go and try something new! There was even a collection of modern boilermaker combos. The food menu is small, but has a good selection of innovative small and large plates. We enjoyed the beet carpaccio and the whole fried red snapper ( called "Goldfish for Two"). We'll-done FMK."

"Admittedly, we had a 5:30 reservation, when most people are still only thinking about dinner, but Fulton Market Kitchen was a great overall experience. The art work on the restaurant wall and the bar' construction, lend themselves to conversation, as being both innovative and amusing. Our meals where simple enough in the presentations, but the flavoring and ingredients did the trick. There drink menu will require a few minutes to ponder which of the many very interesting options you'll want to try. Overall Fulton Kitchen was a great outing and I expect to be back there very soon."

"Food was super flavorful and unique. loved it. The server was very attentive and suggested a few great options."

"Celebrated my birthday here a few days ago, and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Our server Rachel was sweet and very good at her job. The food was amazing and getting my drink (Ricky Bobby) in an old McDonalds Peanuts collectible glass from when I was a kid was pretty cool. Make sure you try the suckling pig for two!"
Dined on 6/23/2014
"What an artistic marvel, FMK is! I could walk around and look at the art in there all day. I love that there is NOTHING nearby and it's 3 blocks from my home, so I can hopefully make this my neighborhood watering hole. The food was fantastic. Lucy, our server was incredibly knowledgeable and courteous, as well as very attentive. Drinks were delightful too!"
Dined on 6/23/2014
"The atmosphere & food at FMK are excellent. However, kitchen clearly has a timing issue that needs to be fixed for this restaurant to be successful. We have been here twice now. 1st was a party of 2, and 1 of the main dishes was late. We thought maybe the dish was misfired. The 2nd time, we were 5. For 2 of us, the 2nd plate came out before the 1st plate. Then, 2 people got their main course while the other 3 waited over 15 minutes for theirs! 1 of the missing dishes was exactly the same as 1 that arrived (& that the table behind us got while we were waiting for it to arrive). Manager comped the problem dishes (at other tables too), but it shouldn't have happened. Wait staff was great, clearly back of house problem. Hire an expediter asap!"

"I made a reservation for dinner for five people at Fulton Market. The decor and mood of the place is fantastic! The food was good, but there are quite a few kinks for management to smooth out. A few of the cocktail drinks we selected from the menu were discontinued but still listed. The goldfish for 2 was huge and delicious, and the fingerling potatoes in bechamel and bleu cheese sauce were a hit. The flounder was a bit bland. The lobster broth it comes in adds flavor to the fish, but they definitely should serve bread with it so you can sop it up. Our server was definitely rushed- she walked away in the middle of us placing our order! She also served us the wrong sides and they had to be sent back. Still a great experience, though!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
"Went here with another couple. We had an amazing time. The artsy decor grabbed our attention from the moment we walked in. Our server was very attentive and gave great suggestions to us newcomers. I would highly recommend the Goldfish for two (whole red snapper); it was absolutely delicious. They have tons of fun cocktails. Can't wait until the next time."
Dined on 6/19/2014
"Happy surprise! Many vegetarian offerings and not over sauced and too rich. Nice selection of fish for summer. Very small menu but well done."
Dined on 6/17/2014
"strictly for young people who think large mixed drinks, a lot of noise, huge wall decorations which they mistake for paintings and food that is avg at best make for a memorial restaurant experience"
Dined on 6/13/2014
"Wasn't sure what to expect, since this place is clearly riding on the growing popularity of street art. However, the place was done well, and the food was actually fantastic and not overpriced (relatively). Great cocktails as well, and very well timed service. The two of us ordered 4 dishes (all to share) and they coursed it out perfectly. Beet carpaccio was excellent, as was the skatewing. Would go again!"
Dined on 6/12/2014
"I've been here twice and the food is very good. The small canvas appetizers can't be beat. My favorites are the beet carpaccio and the fingerling potatoes. The larger entres have been good but not spectacular. The drinks are very good and there is a large selection. The atmosphere, ambiance and service are excellent. Whenever I bring people they are always impressed."
Dined on 6/12/2014
"We sat down at our table and a waitress didn't come to our table for around 30 minutes. I finally had to ask the hostess if we could have a waitress come and take our order. After that it took forever for the drinks/food to come. I guess they had a big party going on in one of the private rooms but we just ordered small appetizers."

"horrible service, wait time to get food is very long."

"My gfs and I had a reservation set for 7:45 for 6 ppl. We arrived and were promptly seated. The server let us know she would be back in a few moments to take our drink order. By 8:10 we had our drinks and put in two orders for appetizers. Now this is where the service started to take a turn. Our first order of the Bay scallops came out and then an order of the Beet Carpaccio after about 30 mins into us being seated. Well we didn't order the Beet Carpaccio, we ordered the Beef Tartar. It took another almost 40 mins after that before that came out and only when I asked the server about it. After the second app came out we waited another 40 mins before our actual meal came out. After nearly 2 hrs of being seated at the table, we finally ate."
Dined on 6/4/2014
"A whole new meaning to hidden gem. It took us a minute to find the actual door, but once we did we entered into one of the most interesting and rad restaurant interiors I've been in. Service was fantastic and our server's recommendations were spot on. Order the cocktails (I can personally recommend the What's Up Doc and Player Gonna Play, thought I'm sure they're all as amazing) and the Goldfish for Two. No questions, just do it. The small plates were equally as unique and delicious. It's all about the details here. You won't be disappointed! "

"Our evening was enjoyable but get ready for loud- not omg loud but holy cow get out the decibel meter app and check it out loud. Decor is fun, menu is clever, and the mixology is spot on. The food is getting hyper good reviews, however, it could use a little help. The FMK fries are a must-do and the famed "Goldfish for 2" is as promised; however, the rest of our selections were good but lackluster in flavor and texture. We all agreed, we'd start there for beverages and then hit someplace more reliable and conversational. "

"9pm reservation, and didn't sit til 945pm. Then we waiting about 20 minutes to actually order anything. Frustrating, but good food"
Dined on 5/23/2014
"The ambiance is amazing. This place is so cool! The cocktails are also very good. The food however leaves much to be desired. We ordered a burger, fries, and cauliflower appetizer. That was $34. The cauliflower was the best part. The burger was ok - but overcooked. The fries had good flavor but for a $7 side of fries I expected french fry bliss, but definitely didn't feel that. Go for drinks, but until they make their food better or less expensive - pass."

"We were seated one hour after our reservation time. It was very loud. The food was good and service fine but waiting an hour for a table made for a tiring and poor evening."

"Went for a birthday dinner with best friends. The space and the artwork is super cool. Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Kitchen and bar were both slow and but was really loud. Food was mostly great, especially the parpadelle with lamb ragu, whole fish and banana bread pudding, but didn't care for the pork dish that was recommended (too fatty). The whole fish was spectacular."
Dined on 5/16/2014
"Our service was truly impeccable from the moment we arrived. Had a couple drinks at the bar including recommendations from the bartender who was very knowledgable. Loved the spicy beg borrow or steal! Our food was all super delicious and came out fast. Every bite from the fresh homemade pastas and savory potatoes and pig tail to the pot au creme and banana bread pudding was superbe. Our server was great with food and wine recommendations, some of the best service I've experienced in a while. I'd recommend getting there early if you're like me and want to enjoy dinner before the scene really heats up by 9, which it definitely did. The place has a lot of energy and was fun to be a part of. Will definitely be heading back to try new dishes. "

"Pretty good initial offering from FMK. Steak tartare, and the ravioli and foie were delicious... I was a little underwhelmed by the Tail and Tail even though it was the most expensive middle plate. The white sauce for the fries was UNBELIEVABLE! The artwork is extremely impressive. I would like to know when they do round 2! As a local, i feel that overall the food needs to step it up a notch to compete in the West Loop"

"The food was amazing. One server was knowledgeable and steered us toward tasty food items. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the bar. After I sent back 2 dirty martinis (for being incorrectly made) I finally settled on a bottle of beer. Not a good spot for drinks- excellent place for food."
Dined on 5/9/2014
"This place is an interesting amalgamation of art gallery and restaurant. Both the art on the walls and the beautiful, tattooed, carefully-dressed hipsters clogging every square inch of this place provide something interesting to look at during your meal. The food is good and the service is efficient and pleasant. Come here if you'd like to be able to say that you've been here."

"We ended up here at 5 pm on a Sat. with a party of 6, incl. 2 kids (4 and 8). Service was wonderful, food was outstanding, but it would have been much more enjoyable if we hadn't had the kids with us. I know, I know... we should've known better than to expect that the FSM would be right for an early evening family affair, but between the loud music, total lack of a kids menu, and the kitchen's unwillingness (or inability) to offer up either vegetarian main course alternatives or options for kids (would it kill them to have boil pasta and toss it with butter?), it made for a less than ideal family dining experience. On the plus side, our server was delightful, the entire staff was prompt and attentive, and the food was really delicious!"
Dined on 5/3/2014
"We had a great experience. The only thing I would change was the music was a notch or two too high and a tad bit too dark (We were in the back room) and couldn't see our menus. Also, we had a 9:15 reservation and didn't get seated till 10pm. We were starving!!! "
Dined on 5/2/2014
"Went here for the first time Friday night, wanted to try it out since I live in the area. From best to worst was the lamb, bay scallops, suckling pig, and ham/egg. Would not get the suckling pig again it was kind of dry and the ham/egg had very little ham in it. Service was pretty good and the atmosphere was great. I would come back but would not order those last two items."
Dined on 5/2/2014
"Super cool place. Really interesting artwork and design throughout. The best dishes we had where the octopus, ravioli with foi grais, steak, and pheasant. All where exceptional. Drink menu is really good. The place has good music playing and its not background music. Its part of the experience. Not a place for a quiet boring diner. "
Dined on 5/2/2014
"If you eat anything here, you MUST have the beef tartare. In fact, have several!! "
