- RReneVIPChicago / Illinois •76 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoCauliflower in a Caesar salad. What a fabulous idea. Unique. Texture difference to a crispy romaine was great. I’d go back for the salad alone. Kobacha toast was also unique and had wonderful textures. I’ll eat it again as well. Steak was cooked as ordered and dipping the excellent frites in the sauce was so good we didn’t need ketchup. Wednesday was half price wine by the glass so we took advantage drinking rosé bubbles and still. Scott, our server, was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and worth asking for the next time. I’m so glad this place is in my neighborhood so I can go there often. Thanks for a great experience.More infoWoodPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Lakeview / East Lakeview•4.5
- MMartiVIPChicago / Illinois •39 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was our first time here and we really enjoyed the food! It was delicious. My only recommendation is for one of the deserts that was described as a custard but it was definitely not. The consistency was liquidy. It was tasty but not custard consistency at all. This is more of an energetic communal restaurant as the tables are very close together.More infoISTMO Oaxacan CuisinePrice: Moderate• Mexican• Lake View•4.6
