Our server, Kyle was knowledgeable about the menu, brought us complimentary sparkling wine as a birthday surprise! The manager , Izzy spent a great deal of time with us sharing about their outstanding bourbon selection and gave us a personal tour of the floating bourbon room. One of the best dining experiences we have ever had!More infoYardbird Table & Bar - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Regional American (Contemporary Southern)• River North (Chicago)•4.6
- TTiffanyVIPChicago / Illinois •13 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoI've been to Virtue a number of times and I always have a good experience. This time, the appetizers were a miss, but the mains were a hit. For appetizers, we had the chicken gizzard which were cold and the sauce was greasy and just not good. We also had the fried green tomatoes, which were ok, they just lacked season. However, the pork steak which is relatively new was amazing. The fish and grits, mac and cheese and greens were amazing. And, the Cornbread as per usual was to die for.More infoVirtuePrice: Expensive• Regional American (Southern)• Hyde Park•4.9
- KKirylChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined on 14 Feb 2025Me & my wife visited Blue Door on her birthday, and decided to come back on the V-Day. This place is amazing: the quality of food, overall atmosphere and hospitality - it feels like every details there is made to make you feel like home. We ordered a couple of drinks (Smoked Cherry was a top notch), appetisers and mains (Lamb, salmon) - everything was cooked to perfection. Special thanks to our waitress for outstanding service (If you are reading this - you did a great job!), the cooks & to John for complimentary champagne and being so nice :) You, guys, do an amazing job. We will for sure be back! Overall: 5/5More infoBlue Door Kitchen & GardenPrice: Moderate• American• Gold Coast / Streeterville•4.7
