    Delicious! Every plate was a 10/10 in my book. The staff was definitely a little busy but they got us out in time for our 8pm showtime. My faves were the ceviche, the burger, and the creme brulee!!!

    I love this spot. It has a beautiful, bar, great food, affordable prices and wonderful service. Best of all it is near the theater and business district. I have sampled the octopus, ceviche, short ribs and fish fry- all delicious! No need to go north of the river to find a great restaurant - just stop by the Dearborn. You won’t be disappointed.

    The Dearborn is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Dining there is like "coming home" as I feel known and cared for (avoiding food allergies/sensitivities). Should you go, do not skip the homemade ice cream/sorbet; it is the best in the city.

    They have good food and a nice drink menu. The service was excellent. Caveat is that the tables are very close together, so trying to navigate the space with winter coats and work bags are not great nor comfortable. It was difficult to eat because your arms are unable to move. If you go and there is a party of 3-4 do you best to request a booth.

    Met a friend for brunch, I had only previously been at The Dearborn for dinner. We split the Scotch Egg, which was simply delicious. My friend ordered the Chilaquiles,m- she let me have a bite and it was truly out of this world delicious- highly recommend! I ordered the Eggs in Purgatory for myself. The poached eggs were done to perfection! Everything was delightful, including the excellent service we received. I will be back!

    The fish and chips were horrible , very very dry, taste like over fried batter with no fish and the coleslaw had no dressing. Hard to believe that dish was on Beat Bobby Flay

    We decided to have quick dinner before the show, and found this place conveniently located and reviewed well. We were pleasantly surprised with good food and outstanding service! As the reputation claims, Fish and Chips didn’t disappoint. The octopus was a bit over-cooked (chewing twice as much) but the sauce was flavorful. The veggie chicken soup was a great comfort food! What impressed us the most was the service- just about the best in years of dining out. We’ll definitely come back the next time we’re in downtown Chicago.

    Great atmosphere, bartenders concocted great drinks, got an ideal window seat to watch the city. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. We had the octopus appetizer, it was amazing! So many textures and flavors to compliment the perfectly cooked octopus. Server recommended an awesome pasta when asked for his reco. Red sauce, squid ink pasta, shrimp, scallops and a bit of heat. Soo good. And he knew we were catching a show nearby and was respectful of our time! Would highly recommend this spot!

    Very nice experience. We went for an early dinner before seeing Lion King and it was a great start to the night. I am originally from Canada so of course I had to try the poutine ... and it was to die for! Had to keep the curry sauce for the rest of our meal, so good. We also shared the filet and mustard chicken - both fabulous! Server was great as well. We will be back, thank you!
