What a fabulous dining experience. Sat at a table in front by the window and glad we did. Not nearly as noisy as in main part of restaurant, and more importantly the table was much larger for four. Our server (Alex) was a 5 star guy and the food was so good. The meal almost doubled in price due to the wine pairing and didn’t mind at all. Will definitely be going back.

I hesitate to let everyone know how fabulous Eden is, but that's a bit selfish. EVERYTHING on the menu (and our group ordered a lot of different items) was perfectly cooked, creative and layered with flavor. The service, as always was outstanding, the cocktails were delicious and everyone seems committed to making sure you enjoy the evening (or lunch or brunch).

Great neighborhood spot with wonderful menu choices. Lunch was busy on a Monday, noise was energetic. I asked to be seated at a quiet table near the window or wall, and was very thankful to have the request honored. It made a difference for our conversation-heavy lunch. A regular go-to place in Lincoln Park!
