Best Date Night Restaurants in Streeterville

The food is absolutely fantastic! Their chicken just cannot be beat. Their Brussels sprouts are outrageously delicious. Yes, these Brussels are that good. The deep fry them and then glaze them in a spiced honey glaze. I honestly could just sit there and eat those all evening. The service is top notch. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Our food came out quickly and was on point. This was our second time there and will be going back for sure.

We had a terrific Thanksgiving at the Gwen. Our grandchildren were treated royally and we all enjoyed the food and service.

We took two friends here for Thanksgiving dinner and had an excellent time. The decor is pleasingly dark and polished but with plenty of light. The food was very good. My husband has a filet of sole, which was filleted right at the table and was delicious, according to him. Two of us had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner, which was traditional (turkey, etc.); it was substantial and well-presented. Our fourth had the seafood grill, which he enjoyed. Service was exceptional from Matt (although I think he was a little disappointed we were all from Chicago) and the others helping him. We had an early reservation (11:00 am), arriving when there was hardly anyone there. By the time we left the restaurant was full but the noise level was still low and it was easy to carry on a conversation during the meal. It was our first visit and I think we may come back. A very enjoyable time.

My husband and I have moved to the Asheville, NC area and only come back to the Chicago area once a year to see family. We have been missing Quartino, especially because they can accommodate my lactose intolerance. This year, we decided that we had to go to downtown Chicago just so we could go the Quartino and Eataly. It was even worth the horrible traffic getting downtown!

Lovely dinner - excellent food and service. We celebrated our 40th anniversary and felt fully feted.
