- EEmmaVIPWisconsin •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe BEST food and ambiance. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive and took my dairy intolerance to heart as she explained the menu and double checked I was OK with the caramel in my latte having residual dairy. Food and coffee were to die for. Loved the vibe. We were really happy we came.More infoLittle Goat- SouthportPrice: Moderate• American• Lakeview / East Lakeview•4.7
- SStephanieLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWent for Santa Baby experience and it was AMAZING. I originally made reservations for the wrong date and it filled up- I was able to send a message and she changed the date for us (Thank you!!) When we checked in I was greeted with a birthday card signed by everyone (thank you!). All three stories were immersed in Christmas decoration. It wasn’t overly crowded, even for a Friday at 9pm. The drinks were good, service was 10/10. And as tiki bar lovers, we will be back next time we are in Chicago!More infoBamboo ClubPrice: Moderate• Pizza Bar• Wrigleyville•4.3
