Food was tasty and overall well priced. Service was great! It was a little noisy at the table we got sat at, which was by the bar. I wished I would have known to ask for a table in the back. I also wished I knew they validated parking at the garage across the street! Definitely would recommend and go back to

The Mez appetizer was delicious and really hit the spot for a newly minted flexitarian. I followed the appetizer up with a baby kale and wild mushroom pizza, which was perfectly prepared, rich in flavors, while remaining delicate in nature by way of its crust. The meal was great!

I brought a friend to the Dearborn this time who had not been there before. She announced long before dessert that she would definitely be returning. The quality of the homemade sorbet was just an additional affirmation. The Dearborn staff never disappoints.

The location in the theater district is perfect. The service was top-notch. The menu has many choices of all different sorts of cuisines, and the wine selection is unexpected (in a good way). If you can catch them for happy hour, all the better with great prices on appetizers and drinks. All of the food was delicious and fresh. I whole-heartedly recommend.

Food was good, but the service was really slow. They had one server for over 10 tables and he seemed to be very attentive to only a select few big ticket tables, which was annoying. Even simple asks like getting the dessert menu or check required us waiting on him to check on us for over 20 minutes!

Great brunch right in the theater district before a matinee. Ambience is much like the old Commune restaurant in Greenwich Village in New York. I could have easily ordered 5 more things except I couldn't even finish the two I had. The Midwest Is Best salad was the best thing on the table. A salad? YES.

Entrees (fish & chips, Midwest salad with anchovies) were wonderful as always. I appreciate the variety of non-alcoholic cocktails at a reasonable price. Unfortunately our only complaint is that the Parker house rolls haven’t been as delicious in the past couple months. It’s as if something has gone wrong with the yeast and the rolls never rise as beautifully and evenly as they did in the past.

Our service was very bad. We were ignored a lot throughout our dinner by our waiter and were seated in a spot where the sunlight was shining uncomfortably in our faces for almost the entire duration of our visit. No one cared to move us even though we looked visibly uncomfortable trying to block the sun light.

I looked up The Dearborn on Google and read some great reviews. I was so intrigued I made reservations to check it out. First I was greeted by a young lady at the door (didn’t catch her name). She was very welcoming! I asked a question regarding dress code and she was able to answer in a manner that made me feel welcomed! Thank you! Eric was my waiter. He was friendly, patient (I had a lot of questions as it was my first time visiting) and he was very attentive! There were a lot of things to check out on the menu. I will be back to check it out again!

Love love love The Dearborn. This time I enjoyed the Ceviche with a signature DB Spanish G&T. Both were suburb. My server Melissa was professional, personable and very helpful and attentive. She even gave me a postcard and pen to write which I happily penned a note to my niece in Dublin in honor of the Irish owners. Such a lovely unique and inventive touch. She assured me they would mail it. The Dearborn is my favorite go to anytime I am in the Loop.

Met our son there for lunch. We were seated upon arrival. We had cocktails while we waited for our son. They were excellent. Our waiter, Nico, was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Food was also excellent. We had the ceviche, burger, and fish & chips. Everything was served hot. We had sorbet for dessert. Wonderful experience.
