Little Market BrasseriePerfect For A Chicago Summer NightHeard about this place from friends who live in Chicago and since it was less than a ten minute walk from our hotel decided to take their advice. Got a table outside where we could enjoy the evening and the street parade and our wonderful waiter, Markham offered to bring us a tasting menu of the restaurant's signature dishes: deviled eggs, mushrooms on toast with marmalade, ceviche, an amazing risotto, perfectly done scallops. Everything was delicious, as were the drinks. We left smiling, satiated and not stuffed. A great night.6/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful!!!A few friends had visited for brunch and raved so I thought I'd check it out for dinner. There were four of us and we sat outside on a lovely warm May evening. The service was a little slow in bringing drinks and coffee but it didn't seem to matter as we were outside all enjoying the conversation and each others company plus our server, Carlos, was truly wonderful and engaging throughout the entire meal. The food was an interesting mix of classic American comfort food but nicely done and very satisfying. Can't wait to go back.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMSecond time's a charmI must admit, this was a last min choice for Mother's Day brunch for my aunt and her family. I knew I needed to pick some place that would accommodate 5-6 people, that they had never heard of before, so wouldn't be able to complain about it before we got there. Let's just say...my aunt & uncle are a tough crowd to please. My 1st visit was right when they opened--a brunch treat after an early morning Sat yoga practice. I ordered a coffee, and the chilaquiles. Not bad, but not great. So I definitely had my fingers crossed when I led them into the restaurant. My smile only kept growing from there, when course after course of PERFECT food came out, and made it to our bellies. 6 satisfied ppl, HUGE smiles, and a thumbs up from my uncle!

I am pretty easy to please but this is a stand out.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service and foodThis was our second visit to Little Market and we will definitely be going back. The food is very good, but what stands out the most is the fantastic service. Our waiter, Carlos, was excellent. This was also my experience the first time I dined at Little Market. It's great to see a restaurant that has such a great atmosphere and that also has great food and service. The outdoor space in the summer will be quite nice when it opens.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was phenomenal.The service was phenomenal.

Loved the fresh juice options.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMReally enjoyed all of theReally enjoyed all of the food we ordered. Some of the courses took a little long to come out of the kitchen. That would be my only disappointment. Other than that, everything was wonderful!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great Addition to the NeighborhooThis relatively informal(for a Gold Coast neighborhood) and reasonably priced (ditto), is a great addition to the area. A reasonably priced wine list, rare in this area, and lots of charming small plates. Our winner was potato gnocchi with a crab meat sauce. But there is lots to choose from and most just a step better than commonplace and not too exotic. Service was unbelievably top-notch. The staff made one feel very welcome and the pacing was perfect.
It will become our informal go-to place.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were three for dinner andWe were three for dinner and our experience was relatively pleasant after we were seated. We were originally offered a small banquette end table which would have barely held three dinner plates. We asked for a booth,instead, and were shown to a booth at the far end of the restaurant near a service area and back door. Indicating our displeasure with this location, we were told all other booths were for larger parties. So we settled for the booth near the back exit which resulted in cold drafts every time the door was opened (about three times during our dinner).
Otherwise the food and service were very pleasant though relatively expensive.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMNice replacement for Bice.....loveNice replacement for Bice.....love the cocktail menu.
Fun and clever tasting portions.
Make a reservation and can't wait till they set the tables up outside for some great outdoor, Gold Coast dining!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious creative food andDelicious creative food and Attentive Service - Could not do enough for us4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMHad Saturday brunch recentlyHad Saturday brunch recently with a friend. Enjoyed the chiliquillas (sp)- a large portion with great salsa seasoning and a perfect fried egg on top. My guest loved the sausage gravy rolls. I've had lunch there (the lobster roll and fries are to die for) but not brunch. I would recommend both. The waiter was very knowledgable and helpful.
This also is a good place to go alone. The bar was full of singles enjoying lunch and having a good time. Prices are very reasonable for the neighborhood.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMExcelent food very friendlyExcelent food very friendly staff, for sure will be back4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ExperienceThe food was outstanding, we loved each & every dish we ordered, service was excellent. The drinks are different and quite remarkable. Great experience, we will return often.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was very good. WeThe food was very good. We were there for Easter brunch which required us to pick 4 dishes for a party of 5 and they would size the portions for your party size. I felt there was not enough food, as we ordered the poutine for 5 which came with one egg on top of the dish for 5 people to split. In the future perhaps you could top it with 2 or 3 eggs to share. Otherwise it was a great experience3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMBrunched!Went for Easter brunch..very good.

The atmosphere is fun and lively while they weren't completely full so it was nice to not be squished next to a random table of people.

Food was awesome! I recommend the monkfish and deviled eggs! we also had the shrimp ceviche which was good too! Our server was GREAT at giving suggestions and making us feel right at home and very comfortable. In fact, everyone was very welcoming. They comped our first drink bc we were on a time crunch for the giant booth they gave us for only the two of us.. so nice!!! :) Will DEFINITELY be back!2/15/2013 12:00:00 AMSoft opening, lots of promiseI intended to go here for brunch but was disappointed to see that breakfast was only served until 10. We were told the menu was centered around small sharing plates but for lunch the small plates consisted primarily of salads. We ordered the Cesar salad which really good for a Cesar, the NY strip which was excellent, and their market burger which was well seasoned and placed upon a terrific bun but came out medium to well done while we ordered it medium rare. The cocktails were all phenomenal and the service was outstanding. This place is still in its infancy as it hasn't even had a grand opening yet so we can't judge it too harshly and what we experienced it really is set up to do very well once the kinks are ironed out. We'll be back.12/25/2012 12:00:00 AM
