Best American Restaurants in North of Foster / Rogers Park

Went 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 I originally made reservations for the wrong date and it filled up- I was able to send a message and she changed the date for us (Thank you!!)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!

Excellent 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.

Wow this was such an incredible dining experience. The food was incredible - we started with the charmoula shrimp and shaved Brussels sprouts salad. The salad was so fresh and delicious. I had the sea bass with mushroom risotto and the fish was maybe the best cook on a piece of fish I have ever had. The risotto was delicious. My partner had the ahi tuna main and it was so good. The service was pretty perfect - there when we needed something but not fussy at all. We will definitely be back to try all of the things on the menu that we couldn’t eat at one meal!

We’ve passed through Eden on multiple occasions, noticed it when taking my Lab to MedVet & Eye Care for Animals. Staffers remembered our Anniversary (week) celebration (I forgot the note on the reservation 😛). We didn’t anticipate the complimentary beverage. Most establishments don’t offer anything these days, we really appreciated the gesture. Drinks are strong, I went w/ Manhattan, wifey w/ Hot Toddy. Food was great. I opted for Burger w/ Fries, wifey ate Duck Banh Mi w/ Eden Salad. I’m not a big fan of Kale but the side Salad was amazing!!

So glad we went to Farm Bar before a show at Old Town School of Folk Music. The service was very warm and welcoming. The food was all great- we had the cabbage and potato plates to share, both delicious. Our entrees of gnudi and pork chops were so good. Lovely place.
