"The items we selected may not have sounded like anything spectacular but the flavors were amazing. Tuna Tartare — if you like sushi and truffle oil, get it. The combination of the tuna with the aioli, truffle oil, squid ink cracker was fantastic. Plus there were pistachios in the tuna for texture. I could have selfishly eaten this all myself…for my meal… Spanish Grilled Octopus — also highly recommend. I was pleasantly surprised by the salsa verde (which in my mind is a tomatillo salsa).

The bone marrow smear was amazing, as was the short rib.
Halcy
This place literally helped me get over my phobia of eating fish, because the food was that good.
Catherine
Great cocktails and food. Fun, energetic atmosphere with clientele that appeared to mostly be in their 30s. Attention to detail in presentation and recipes. Friendly, helpful staff that did well juggling many tables in the packed restaurant. View menu

Really good ambiance, the dishes are good. The service was OK, for such a trendy or “high-regarded” place we expected a little more seriousness, but this place is basically a casual friday night restaurant-bar to meet your friends for a drink.

On of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Jimmy Bannos Jr. kills it. Everything on the menu is delicious. I could eat here weekly and not get tired of it. Always a lovely atmosphere. I great place to solo dine at the huge bar or at the kitchen counter seats.

Very good restaurant, ambiance was a little touristy based on the location. The food was really good as the items we had was short rib risotto with grilled cheese and soup. The old fashion was just okay, not special. Overall, not worth the 2-week wait to get into the restaurant, but a nice spot to get a quick bite. View menu

My husband and I came here for an early lunch. The food was great. We shared the bone marrow (which I loved), morcilla sausage, and salted beets. My husband had the sardines, which he said he would have passed on. The only thing that was a bit of a downer was a server. She wasn't friendly at all and didn't smile or make us feel comfortable. Overall though, it could have been an off day for her so we would come back.

It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday around 4pm when we went for early dinner, reserved last minute. Service was just fine. The 2 of us ordered bone marrow, squash, mushroom and pork belly. All were great but my favorite was the bone marrow smeared on toasted bread topped with cilantro salad. Their menu is helpfully designed so that every plate has a pairing suggestion. I can see why many reviews complain of tight space and loud noise when it gets crowded.
