Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Little Italy / University Village

I really enjoyed dining at girl & the goat. Their menu selections were spectacular, and they were able to accommodate those with dairy intolerance (which most restaurants are unable to do). Their food selections were great and flavorful, and their staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend the chicken or steak dishes.

Our table had mussels and crunchy brussels sprouts pizza, both of which were amazing -- fresh ingredients, delicious, perfect portion, beautiful presentation. For appetizer we ordered fried calamari and they were to die for! Perfect lunch for business and pleasure. I've gone with my family here a couple of times and we had consistently great meals. Highly recommend.

The best dinner and experience I’ve ever had in Chicago and I’ve had my share being here for 8 years! The view was amazing! The service was impeccable! The food was so good everything was good from the drinks to the starters to our entrees. We canceled Asador reservations to come here instead, based on their menu options. So glad we did! Adam was great and funny. This was my good friends bday and I couldn’t have asked for more! I had the branzino…chefs kiss great portions too. EThe lobster bisque so good. Sides are shareable and those brussel sprouts were everything. My friend had the rigatoni and Adam gave him a filet mignon on the house it was the bomb lol. Everything had so much flavor! Very busy for a Tuesday and I see why. The vibe in there is superb! Definitely coming back for the rooftop for my birthday in the summer lol. Price point 👌🏾! We’ve been to places so expensive and the food sucked. It kills you lol. This made up for all those experiences, and we’ve had our share! It’s 6:30 in the morning and this my first review on open table in 2 years lol.

I recently dined at the Ralph Lauren Restaurant in Chicago and had an exceptional experience. Our server, John, was truly spectacular—attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made sure our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. We were lucky to have a beautiful window view, which added to the overall ambiance and made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was exquisite, and the elegant setting made for a memorable evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or a lovely night out in the city!

Highly recommend for brunch...creative comfort foods, fresh and delicious! We all loved our meals and the service was lovely and we were not rushed.
