Restaurants near Lyric Opera of Chicago

Exactly what I was expecting from this restaurant. Fantastic, anticipatory, staff, clean, beautiful restaurant with accommodating host. Anyone in the business can tell you that finding quality staff is one of the largest challenges of the industry right now I didn’t say that they had it dialed in. He is fresh and beautifully related, top to bottom. It was a fantastic experience.

As usual service was great and the food was delicious.

Overall a very nice experience. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. Our table had scallops (a special); a steak salad, and a pasta dish. All were quite good, and portions were more than adequate. Had the pistachio cheesecake for dessert, which was excellent.

Everything was terrific. The service, steaks and ambience were all exceptional. The small bites were good but I would skip them and focus on the meat. We had steak tartar, roast chicken, waygu ribeye and spinach. Portions were large and perfectly prepared. We would definitely go back.

We visited for a date night before attending a performance, and it was a great choice. The service was well-timed, and we appreciated that there was no rush to finish, which allowed us to enjoy our evening. We were seated just in time for happy hour, which was a wonderful bonus. We each had a couple of Old Fashioneds, which were well-made and set the mood for the evening. For dinner, we both tried the Hot Honey Chicken, and it was flavorful, perfectly spiced, and very satisfying. While this restaurant is a bit more casual than our usual pre-show spots, it had a laid-back, after-work vibe that was refreshing. I’d definitely return next time—I’m glad we stepped out of our usual routine!
