Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Belmont Central / Cragin

Boka was fantastic! The food was amazing; the flavors and variety of offerings were outstanding. The decor was beautiful and the staff was phenomenal. Jack was extremely knowledgeable for both food and drink choices and was a highlight of our experience. 10 out of 10 all around, highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.

Exceptional for celebrating and plain delicious for a bite.

An incredible restaurant with impeccable service! Seating in the dining room was amazing, but a bit loud. The bar area had live music (Thursday - Saturday) and we grabbed a drink after dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere here. Moody, dim lighting, velvet, old school, upscale. Plan to spend a pretty penny, but it’s so worth it! We started off with specialty cocktails that were delicious (Whiskey Sour and Dirty Martini). For starters we ordered the Sausage and Peppers (9/10) and it was a very unique and tasty spin on the Italian classic & Shrimp Cocktail (10/10) which was so fresh and delicious. We continued with the Caesar Salad (9/10) it was made table side so that was a fun experience - it was creamy and crisp, with the most delicious fluffy croutons. For our main courses we ordered the Lobster Pasta (10/10) that had an incredible presentation and delicious flavor with plentiful amounts of lobster. The Kansas City Strip (7/10) ended up being our least favorite, but it comes down to preference. We prefer Ribeye usually, but decided to try a different cut this time - it was cooked to perfection and charred deliciously, though. We finished the night with the Raspberry Sorbet (10/10) which was light fresh and zesty! The Tiramisu (8/10) was great as well and a really big portion. A perfect place to celebrate!

This place is an amazing Italian hole in the wall in West Town that offers delicious food at a great price. It’s cozy environment is perfect for a date night or a fun but filling get together!

I absolutely loved my first visit to Summer House - Chicago. I took my client out to lunch and wanted to experience something different and found Summer House on IG. A great location and the food is delish. Josh was a great server. It reminds me of Hampton Social or White Sheep with the look and decor. Great service…
