    An odd place really. Was deserted on a Saturday night, guessing they have more folks there during events. Food was good, cocktails and service was fine. DJ was great. I just didn't know what this place wanted to be. The art was interesting, but all styles relatively similar - no breadth. I could see this place in Bucktown or Wicker Park. Was out of place, empty and awkward in River North.

    They were hosting an event and didn't seem to be ready to honor a reservation, but the food was good and the people were pleasant.

    First, the restaurant was hosting a band that night, so it was more of a lounge than a restaurant that evening. The band was decent, but their stage was kind of around the wall, so we couldn't see them well. The food wasn't great, and my drink (a drink with champagne and something else) was so-so.

    I love food. And I especially love mixologist drinks! It's even more terrific to consume both in the cool atmosphere of gallery bar. I absolutely love it when the artsy fartsy staff talk to me about the artwork and the food and drinks and how they all tie together. Recently, one of them told me about a husband-wife team who make the neatest artwork together! I just gobbled it right up!

    Went for the new gallery/restaurant concept. Menu was small, not a lot to close from, the dishes we had were very good.

    Went here on Valentines day with an open table reservation. First off the bat was put off by the tacky market written sign saying that there was a mandatory $3 cash-only coat check. Arrived to be told by the hostess than they had tried to call me to confirm the reservation and couldn't get in touch so they had cancelled it but we could wait in line. When I pushed back she checked her "list" and it turned out they had not called so she seated us in a TINY table that was so unstable everything kept falling off it. When we asked to be reseated she instead had someone wedge paper towels under part of the table. Overall the drinks were good, the food was decent but grossly overpriced. This could be a cool spot but it's clearly very poorly run.

    I have never had worse service in my life. There are few tables in the venue and yet if we ordered a glass of wine, it took 30min. We had an 8:30 reservation and one of the people at the table had to leave without receiving her food at 10:30. When we finally received our entrees, 1 of the 5 remaining at the table did not receive hers. The wait staff kept saying it was being worked on, but the rest of us had finished our meals by the time hers arrived (Fortunately she was able to eat the entree of the woman who had to leave before the food arrived). The staff apologized profusely, blaming being new (though they have been open 7mo, so not at all an excuse) and gave us 20% off. This place will close soon if the service does not improve.

    I absolutely ADORE the cocktails at Gallery Bar. They are inventive and use quality ingredients. If you're looking for something new and inventive, Gallery Bar is the spot. Their menu is not nearly as strong as their drinks. They have good food but they're still trying to figure things out in that department. The menu has changed about three times since they opened. They have unique and fresh food and it's delicious. Service is great. The atmosphere is chill. Sometimes they have live entertainment.

    The food at Gallery Bar and Grill was as good as any I've had at top rated restaurants. The Executive Chef, Pat Glatz, uses only the freshest ingredients and is very creative, The presentation is beautiful. The atmosphere is fun and funky and not stuffy at all.

    The title sums it up. Waitress did not know the menu. Forty minutes after we ordered we were asked to modify Our order because she misunderstood the menu. Not her fault. Very confusing prefix menu For restaurant week. Probably the worst food I've eaten in Chicago and I live downtown and eat out often! Never again
