Restaurants near Humboldt Park

A raucous good time! We went on a Friday night, and it packed to the rafters with only a few open seats here and there (we made reservations, bypassing the line). Most tables are long, with benches on either side, seating 8 people. We were a couple, so we were seated with a family of four. We made sure to come when the live music was German-themed (accordion and various woodwinds), for more of a biergarten feel. People sometimes sing along. Service was slow, with time—maybe a little too slow—giving time to enjoy the music, and watch various screens showing sports. Food was good, generous portions; the leftovers will go for another two meals. Be aware that the SMALL beer is a pint. Do not come here on a first date. You will not be able to have a conversation. So loud that when we have our order, we had to point to the menu and use hand gestures. All part of the experience.

Outstanding Christmas dinner with my wife. I could not have asked for better and the young lady that served us was truly awesome. Cannot wait until next time. Thank you Team Patina and our wonderful server. Dave

Enjoyed a great Christmas breakfast with my Gramma! We arrived as the lunch menu started, and thankfully, the kitchen was kind enough to fulfill our wish for breakfast! My Croissandwich was very good and I generally ask for a substitution of home fries but these home fries came out hot and crispy! We were glad that it was a quiet morning while we enjoyed conversation, good food, and a view of the city. We will be back.

One of our favorites. We drive an hour to dine here. The service is always terrific, the setting perfect and the food is very very good. The value is questionable ($4.50 for sauce accompaniment, $18 drinks, etc.) but if you can look past that, there is no better establishment than here.

One of my very favorite restaurants. Awesome food, great service.
