Great service. Love the food. Our waiter was amazing

Donny G’s is our go to spot in the neighborhood. The food is great and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

You can't go wrong at Avec. I have eaten here a dozen times and have never had bad service or something I didn't enjoy eating. Ever. It is all top-notch. The wine program is genius. There is something new and exciting to try from all over Europe. You can trust that what is offered has been well thought out and works with the food overall.

We had a fabulous time at our dinner. While we thought our empanadas were delicious, the steak flight for two was the highlight, along with the pisco sours. Our sides (we got asparagus and the truffled fingerling potatoes) were very good, but I will probably explore others on the list next time we go. But how could they shine next to the steak? We were there on a Saturday night when they had live music, and that elevated the whole experience to be super vibey and extra fun. We had churros for dessert just to stay longer and enjoy, and they were also delicious. We will definitely be back!

Excellent Czech/Boehmian food in a city that used to have so much of it and now has very little. It doesn’t look like much, but that doesn’t matter. Show up, take a risk, have a great meal you literally can’t have anywhere else in Chicago anymore. Spring for the herbal aperitif shot on tap and the Karlovarsky dumplings. Dont ask, just do it.
