Best Casual Restaurants in Uptown

We arrived early for a Saturday night reservation. We sat in the bar. The bartender was attentive. The drinks were great! We ordered a wide variety of tapas. Some things were very good, some were ok. Enjoyed our visit to this lively restaurant!

The globes on the terrace were very festive and Alma did a good job in having funny extras in there like old fashioned games and a record player Our servers were all excellent!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!! This is the place where we bring our out of town friends/family because it is so fantastic! The owners have put so much thought into every detail it's amazing. The food, however, is meh. It is typical bar food but the fries are sub par. They are soft and floppy, barely cooked and served medium warm. In the fire I would request extra crispy fries to ensure that they are cooked properly. Still, the fries did not impact the great time we have every year:)

fanstastic food. the mezze were terrific - the scallop taco has been dubbed the best bite in chicago - i wouldnt go that far, but it was very good. the chaat with prawns was a messy tangle of yummy shrimp. the lamb taco was incredible. my niece loved the salad, the beets and mushrooms the cocktails are great. service was very good. this place will become one of the hardest reservations in town so book it now .

Great experience with the food, service, and drinks. Could not have been happier.
