This place was just amazing!!! I can’t believe I had no tried it before. It is my new favorite Italian place in Chicago. Everything was just perfect. The hostess was very kind to help us with the valet parking. The chef/owner was actually present at the restaurant and welcoming guests. The staff could not have been more attentive. And, the food was just incredibly delicious!!! We came for my cousin’s birthday and it was just perfect. I would definitely come back again and I highly recommend it. More

Shanghai Terrace never disappoints. The cocktails, dim sum Platter and Peking duck with pancakes were excellent. The only thing that was uncomfortable was a table of 4 next to us speaking an Asian language and one of the women was having a wonderful time and talking very very loudly. Because she was speaking another language it was vary abrasive, and distracting from our conversation. More

What a great meal. Try the the new lobstago. It's lobster bites prepared like escargot. The oysters Rockefeller are the best in town. Great prime steaks, and the choc raspberry cake is decedent. The raise their own stone crabs which are amazing. The service is first class, and the dining room is classic. More

I always love going here but our waitress this time seemed to be in a hurry to get us out even though we had only been there for under an hour. She put the check on the table without asking us if we wanted anything else. Seeing that we had sat down and eaten all before an hour I thought it was a little premature to put our bill down. I will be back but hopefully next time we won’t be rushed out. More

D4 is a highly reliable Irish Gastropub that will please almost everyone. All of the food is reliably delicious, and the service adds to the experience every time. It’s the top of Streeterville dining, in my opinion. More

I went here during restaurant week randomly and it was amazing! Small and quaint but really cute. The service was great! Below is a list of what we got and pictures as well: Wine flight - great wine, wished they were a little larger pours Spicy kale salad - dressing definitely has a kick which I loved! It was more romaine lettuce than kale, but still great flavoring! Meatballs - super tender and great on the crostini Tagliatelle Bolognese - my favorite dish. The sauce was very flavorful. There was a great ratio of noodle to sauce Italian brick chicken - chicken was flavorful but simple, and the potatoes were done very well Tiramisu - one of the best that I have had. Hefty slice Would recommend again and again! More

Discover Gold Coast
Located north of the Chicago River along the shores of Lake Michigan, the neighborhoods of Streeterville and the Gold Coast developed as affluent areas in the wake of the Chicago Fire in the late 19th century. Today, these neighborhoods boast family entertainment centers, fine museums and a variety of restaurants for everyone to enjoy. Families can delight in the fun and festivities along the Navy Pier with burgers, fish and fresh baked goods for nourishment. Going inland in Streeterville, the dining gets a bit more upscale with Chicago deep dish pizzerias and Polish sausage on every corner. Heading north to the Gold Coast will get you fine dining and international food territory. Tender steaks, tapas bars and French cuisine are among the hidden gems.
