• German • Downtown / Loop
Booked 23 times today
---The Berghoff Restaurant is a Chicago landmark, serving German-style cuisine and culture since 1898. One of the oldest family-run businesses in the nation, now run by the fourth generation, Pete Berghoff. Today's Berghoff menus have evolved to add newer, lighter, and more contemporary dishes, but it's still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer. In December 2018, the Berghoff family opened Adams Street Brewery, aptly named after the street they have called home for over a century, to nod to their brewing roots and commemorate the restaurant's 120th anniversary.

    We made a dinner reservation before going to see Joe Bonamassa at the Chicago Theater last nite. As always, Remington's was a wonderful experience. The staff at the door, our waitress and the service staff were terrific! The food was delicious! My wife and I love the lobster deviled eggs and also split an order of East coast/West coast oysters for our starters. Everything was great and everyone should try Remington's if they're in the downtown area! Absolutely first class!

    As good as we remembered it! If you like German food, this is the place to go. Berghoff is part of Chicago history. The onion soup is outstanding. The rest of our meal was great. Service was excellent. Great selection of draft beers from their brewery.

    A very quiet lunchtime on Presidents Day. I came for my favourite Fusilli. My first couple of bites were quite spicy (I don't recall it being as spicy on previous occasions) and I began to choke. Staff were very helpful, offered to replace with a less spicy version but I didn't like the thought of food being wasted. My cough settled down, I enjoyed the Fusilli as I always do (resolved to ask for less spicy next time). They brought me a second glass of wine on the house so that solved everything. This is a VERY CLASSY restaurant with tasty and interesting food. I come every year in February and always visit Acanto ....

    Only complaint is that when I ordered a burger there was no side. That’s pretty silly - should at least come with fries. But no yeah, really good food and drinks. Great date vibes
