Always exceptional in every respect. Feels like you are dining in the Chef’s home which makes it a unique experience. For a multi course experience the portions are relatively large, so bring your appetite.

Food and service were outstanding. They are a BYOB, but have a wine list from the neighboring liquor store, so the wine was remarkably reasonable without the usual 3x mark up.

Nina really created a a beautiful and cozy atmosphere, it feels like you’re having dinner at the Nugent’s home.

So this place is certainly an experience. The food is out of this world especially at the price point it is. It’s BYOB which makes even better value if you want to drink something expensive. The ambiance is left of center, to say the least. No bad, just weird in a “you won’t forget this” kind of way. 10/10 overall recommend.

Always a fantastic experience. The food is phenomenal, and the service is outstanding. Chris and Nina have been making this a go to destination for years and it never misses a beat. The creativity shines through all of the dishes, and the service is so warm and inviting. Always love the little touches, whether it be the microgreens from their garden or the origami that Nina makes for each guest. Thanks for a great time to Chris, Nina and Natalia.

Goosefoot is a very special place in so many respects. The food is unique and carefully prepared and presented. The set menu is well paced and the portions are just right. Nina, the front of the house and wife of the chef, is warm and welcoming. Add to this a wait staff that is knowledgeable and attentive without being hovering. For a perfect evening, Goosefoot fits the bill.

Dining at Goosefoot is a pleasing and joyful combination of more than a dozen expertly prepared and artistically plated chef-curated courses with friendly professional service. Expect to be delighted across all your senses for 3+ hours with satisfying samples of scallop, duck, beef, soup, edible flowers and desserts with rare flavors and textures that will have you closing your eyes and smiling. One of the best and most interesting meals I've experienced in Chicago. BYOB.

OMG. Last night was my second visit to Goosefoot. Again, it was a magical culinary experience. Ambiance- The dining room has only 9 tables. The decor is bright and cheerful, music is upbeat and adds to the experience. Service - Welcoming, friendly, and on point. Nina, one of the owners, graciously welcomes you in and gives you a verbal tour of your evening. Natalia works along side her presenting each new wonderful course and explains them perfectly. The Food - Amazing! Beautiful! Delicious! Each course is both artfully presented and mind blowing delicious. I can not describe in words how wonderful it is. You must try it for yourself. Chef Chris is not only an amazingly talented chef, but also a true artist of many mediums. We are from San Diego. Anytime I am in Chicago I will return to Goosefoot. Parking is limited. You won't want Wi-Fi. Make reservation and treat yourself to an amazing dining experience!
