Best Restaurants with Great Beer in North of Foster / Rogers Park

Service was fantastic! The gentleman who served us was great and nice to meet him. The meatball apps were amazing, they reminded me of my Italian grandmas. And the pizza was the best I’ve had in a long time. Will return for sure.

We had eaten dinner at The Publican many times, but this was our first time having brunch. We shared sweet and savory dishes including the waffle, the shrimp and grits, and chicken schnitzel. All were delicious! A side of PBQ breakfast sausage was tasty, too. I highly recommend checking out this spot for brunch.

Waiter was outstanding, he went above and beyond to help our large group.

Excellent food!!! We were expecting “pub food” but this was so much more. Skilled use of unexpected herbs and spices. This kitchen produced perfectly cooked proteins. The duck was the most flavorful duck I’ve had in a restaurant. The octopus was exactly the right texture. Pork shank and short ribs were fall-off-the-bone and seasoned creatively. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We appreciated the art of the serving dishes, not just plain white plates. Service was also excellent. We were greeted at the door and our table was immediately ready. Our server was attentive. Our food came out hot. Only real negative is the 3% charge to use a card. I don’t like carrying $250+ in cash. I wish this place was in our hometown. We look forward to returning to Cultivate.

It was my first time visiting a Polish restaurant. The overall experience was amazing. It’s small but lovely. The waitress was very good at guiding us as to what she thought we might like. The food was very good. It’s very filling. We definitely could have split our entree. This place is definitely a winner 🥰
