It was a wonderful evening. Our server, Mike was very attentive and made some great suggestions for our dinner. The wine he suggested was “spot on” to what we were looking for to accompany our pasta. I would highly recommend Sienna Tavern for a nice casual dinner in the River North area. More

I've been to this location a few times, but this was my friend's first time there. We had a reservation for 2:30pm, but arrived 20 minutes early, and were still seated immediately! The hostess was polite, and the server was quick to take our orders. We received our appetizer, soup, and salad in under 10 minutes. Our meat also came out relatively quickly afterwards! The server apologized for bringing everything out so fast (we'd hardly finished anything after he came out with the meat), but it was a pleasant surprise to have our food in such a short time, especially because Gyu-Kaku is usually busy in the afternoon. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. More
OpenTable Diner -
Good was great and the baked goods look and tasted delicious. The restaurant ambiance is great. The food menu for breakfast was pretty small with options, but everything we got was cooked perfectly and presented in a nice fashion. Would definitely recommend to a friend! More

OpenTable Diner -
Kiki’s is a longtime favorite. When my wife and I were discussing where to go to celebrate my 65th birthday, which fell on a Monday when many restaurants are closed, we agreed that Kiki’s was the place to go. The restaurant wasn’t terribly crowded, but Kiki seated us at a table that afforded us a modicum of privacy. The food was excellent, as it always is. The service was outstanding, which is what we’ve come to expect. When we declined to order a dessert, the waiter, who noted that we celebrating my birthday, offered us a glass of port instead. It was a perfect conclusion to a most enjoyable evening. More

We came to Chicago to celebrate our 17th anniversary. We have never been to Chicago so I got on trip advisor to look for a steak house my husband loves steaks and I found Benny’s. We were not disappointed! The food was amazing the atmosphere was great and our waiter probably one of the best waiters I’ve had in a while. If we visit Chicago again we will definitely be going back to Benny’s. More

We celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary and could not have been happier with our evening. We were greeted with champagne upon arrival and the service level for the entire evening was superb. I had a bourbon mule which was delish and one of the best I have ever had. The food was amazing...the filet was cut with a butter knife and the salmon was cooked perfectly and the size of the piece was huge! Then complementary dessert to top it off. Thanks Gary and the entire staff for making our night very memorable. More
OpenTable Diner -
I cannot say enough about this restaurant! Our waiter was SO knowledgable and shared such interesting information about the various whiskeys and bourbons. Gave great advice, helped us choose flights and never rushed us, despite us being a group of 10. The food was excellent, and we will all be coming to the Franklin Room again soon! More

I had an excellent meal at Coco Pazzo! The pappardelle in wild boar ragu was just fantastic, and an excellent Italian wine list, with some nice wines by the glass. My only disappointment is that they do not have any half bottles of wine for people who travel a lot and dine alone as I do. More

My only complaint would be a little too eager to clear the table. Otherwise everything was stellar. More

I always enjoy LEYE restaurants and so was eager to check out this newest one. I was NOT disappointed. We were there before going to the theater and were served promptly, attentively and kindly. My friend's 90 year old mother was with us and the staff was most helpful in navigating her thru the space. We were given a great booth at the back. Such delightful, tasty bites, expertly recommended and prepared! We were well fed and full of spirits when it was time to leave for the play. Will definitely go back! More

Wanted to try different type of pizza. Pizzas were delicious. Sweetest grape tomatoes out there. Strange thing to say, but they were! Spacious place, didn’t feel like we were having to weave through tables or chairs. Music was a tad bit loud, but better than heavy metal at Kumas. Would go back again with group. More

When you walk into the restaurant, it is very dated and small. The service was fabulous. A lot of regulars seem to frequent the restaurant. That says a lot about a place. There were five of us and we ALL enjoyed our food. All five ordered something different and all thought it was delicious. Would definitely go there again! More

Amazing food and great customer service. Portions are big enough for two people to share! Only thing i would change is how close the tables in the front are to the windows. Makes it a challenge for the servers to get to the back table. Otherwise, a must try. We will be going back soon! More

Our group sat in a private booth so we could chat easily. Restaurant was busy for Tuesday evening with a comfortable noise level.

The tacos were small, but the price per taco said it all. We ordered the chips and salsa, which is unlimited. Need less to say, The food was amazing! As for the drinks, We ordered a full size pitcher of margarita. While $65 may seem a lot, we were able to get 3 full glasses each between the 4 of us. So I would say its about 12 servings total! We loved the ambiance and the wait staff was very kind! More
OpenTable Diner -
Excellent service and a menu with a lot of great options, the portions are on the generous side, and while tempted to try more, there was enough for leftovers. The duck service was great, and most of the menu items have multiple preparations to accommodate taste preference or allergies. A good amount of Vegan and vegetarian options. The location on Michigan Ave and 4th floor location is great, it’s in the middle of shopping but tucked away enough to feel like a relaxed environment. More
OpenTable Diner -
Wait staff was incredible and extremely attentive! Food far exceeded all expectations. The dj was incredible. Played a few games as we ate and watched a variety of sports. Definitely worth the trip!!! More
OpenTable Diner -
Our server was excellent. Even though he had a really busy weekend, working double shifts, he treated us with patience and kindness. Great suggestions as far as meal choices went and the drink I ordered. I am very pleased that we chose this over another steakhouse. More
