First timer. The menu was tantalizing, the service was extraordinary, the food was great - especially the ricotta appetizer, and the red sauce on our pasta and gnocchi was amazing - the Italian bread served us well, ensuring that every drop of that sauce was consumed. The staff are a team, and there are many and they are all working - it was fun to watch. The one "mistake" we made is sitting near the kitchen, because we were forced to see all of the dishes we didn't order come out - I am pretty sure I would find a way to eat here several times per month if I lived nearby.

The appetizer selection was impressive. My wife and I shared oysters and the bone marrow. Both were very good. The house cocktail list was tasty. I had the Fame in Chicago. My wife had the spicy lobster pasta dish that was outstanding. For dessert, we split the apple, butterscotch, carmel, and creme brule. Overall, great food and service with an amazing view of the Chicago river.

Shanghai Terrace is absolutely wonderful. It is eloquent… the service is professional yet friendly… They accommodate your needs..(like the lovely red shawls they gave us because it was a little drafty…or the fresh napkin that appeared instantly when my initial napkin had slipped off my lap… I didn’t even know) Max… our lead server/waiter is beyond description….He provided excellent menu recommendations and made sure that the timing of our meal service supported our theater commitment.. The duck and everything we ate was EXCELLENT…. I rarely write reviews… and I could go on but I had to write this one…ENJOY!!!!

This was my first time at Yardbird and we had a great time. My bf loves bourbon and we opted for the “Dealer’s Choice” bourbon flight. Leni our server was amazing and she took the experience seriously. It was a joy to watch her and her crew select the options and even more of a joy for my bf to try them. When we go back, we would definitely request her service.

We were dining for lunch on Christmas Eve before going to the matinee performance of the Nutcracker. Our waiter Anthony was attentive and provided great service. We had a time limit and he made sure everything happened in time. The food was delicious. Great restaurant
