- DDouglasVIPChicago / Illinois •26 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFood quality and choices are exceptional. Everything was unique with tons of flavor. The Gumbo, short rib, pork steak and mac and cheese are all divine. The service was mostly reasonable. The staff are all exceptionally nice but our drinks came after our food, we had to ask multiple times for refills. We ordered family style, which was great, but the food arrived and we had no individual plates to serve the food and had to flag someone down to get them. Overall I highly recommend it but for the price I would expect better attention to detail from the staff. I will go back because the food is that good!More infoVirtuePrice: Expensive• Southern• Hyde Park•4.9

- RRebeccaVIPChicago / Illinois •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy very favorite restaurant in the city! They have consistently high-quality, wonderful dishes and rotate the menu so there’s always something new. They are great to us and our kids with special needs and dietary restrictions and we’re always great when they were babies as well. I’ve been coming for years and always bring out of town guests here. Get the scotch egg, drinks are great, the latest past I got was amazing and if you’re lucky to come for brunch, try the pastries!!! They are out of this world!More infoThe GagePrice: Moderate• American• Downtown / Loop•4.7
- LLisaChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.More infoThe Walnut Room - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown / Loop•4.6
