Best Dining Bars in Forest Park

Cocktails are creative and playful. Service was amazing, they go out of their way to make sure you're happy. Loved the chill vibe, not at all pretentious. Will be back

I truly think Kumiko is a national gem. As a hospitality house, Kumiko has a lot of love going into every detail, from the hand towels at the start of the meal, the light levels, the curated stemware, down to the earnest "goodbye" (my coat was literally waiting for me, the moment I left the table). I've been going for several years, and every time the staff goes above and beyond expectation: On my last visit I particularly appreciated the N/A options, from the beers to the spirits. Maintaining that level of warmth in service takes hard work, dedication and spirit. The specials served today were both exceptional — particularly the yellowtail collar, down to the level of char. — So delish!

My husband and I love this restaurant, the view is spectacular and the food was delicious. He is an eggs Benedict snob and said it was the best he's had. I had huevos rancheros and a Bloody Mary and they were both delicious. Our waitress was not great. We waited a bit and when she came up, she literally raced to the table and was speaking before she got to our table. She didn't say hello or greet us with any enthusiasm, there was no warm welcome. I can't say who she was because she didn't tell us her name. That won't keep us from coming back! We do not live in Chicago, we always make it a point to eat here at least once.

Good could be a little better but overall experience was amazing

Great food and service and loved the entertainment value and experience. Will definitely return!
