Best Family Style Restaurants in South Side

The food was absolutely amazing! The part I didn't like was that Happy Hour was only strictly for the bar area only. I was also disappointed that they didn't give a complimentary treat, dessert-nothing for the birthday person. They are making too much money to be so strict and cheap. Give a complimentary dessert for people celebrating their birthday!

Honestly I can’t believe more people don’t know about the Resturant. It’s one of the best restaurants in Chicago. Everything top to bottom was a 10. Judy is an unbelievable server. Highly recommend!

Very attentive service and nice presentation style. Attractive decor and calm ambiance. The food was very interesting and not typical American Vietnamese restaurant fare. We had the tasting menu - The salad with the delicata squash was excellent and great combo of flavors and textures. However most of the other dishes were all sweet, there wasn’t much of a break from all the sweetness- the short ribs could have been dessert! But even after all that sweetness the Whipped pumpkin coconut rice pudding was fantastic!

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.

Alla Vita never disappoints. The pre fixe menu has perfect portions and pairing options. Our server Monica was delightful and attentive, presentation was beautiful and the food was (as always) delicious!!
