- SSharonChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a Mother/Daughter outing at the Bamboo Bar and had a great time... The entire staff was nice, pleasant and helpful. The food came out fast and was great as well as the different Mimosas we drank.. We had several pictures taken of us before we ate, to commemorate our day together. The Santa Baby Bar Display was exquisite, All 3 floors were decorated beautifully. It was so breathtaking. We were able to take pictures with the different Holiday Props.. Our Mother/ Daughter outing was everything thanks to the Bamboo Bar and staff. We lost our framed picture we took before we ate, while taking other pics and one of the wait staff found it and put it up for us.. We were happy and very grateful that he remembered us.....We will definitely be back... And it's best to get reservations ahead of time...so you don't have to wait.....

- SShirleyNew Mexico •4 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 21, 2024Excellent food!!! We were expecting “pub food” but this was so much more. Skilled use of unexpected herbs and spices. This kitchen produced perfectly cooked proteins. The duck was the most flavorful duck I’ve had in a restaurant. The octopus was exactly the right texture. Pork shank and short ribs were fall-off-the-bone and seasoned creatively. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We appreciated the art of the serving dishes, not just plain white plates. Service was also excellent. We were greeted at the door and our table was immediately ready. Our server was attentive. Our food came out hot. Only real negative is the 3% charge to use a card. I don’t like carrying $250+ in cash. I wish this place was in our hometown. We look forward to returning to Cultivate.More infoCultivate by Forbidden RootPrice: Moderate• Brewery• Lincoln Square•4.7

Discover Lincoln Square
Lincoln Square is a trendy area on the north side of Chicago with plenty of dining options. International fare like Mexican, French, and Korean barbecue can be found in abundance. Modern restaurants and bars exist among fine dining establishments, bistros, and restaurants serving nine-course meals. Chicago’s history as a meatpacking hub has contributed to its well-known style of barbecue. Ribs and sausages in a sweet red sauce are cooked on the iconic Chicago-style aquarium pit, which is a steel box with meat cooking just a few feet above hardwood embers. Don’t forget to get a taste of Chicago deep-dish pizza. It starts with a 1-inch-deep crust that is baked so that the sides hold in the loads of mozzarella cheese, sausage, green pepper, and onions that are all topped with a tomato sauce.
