Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Humboldt Park

Bar La Rue delivers an exceptional dining experience with its beautiful ambiance, perfectly complementing the delicious menu offerings. The escargot, steamed mussels, and steak frites were all executed to perfection, showcasing the kitchen’s expertise. The cocktails are another standout, with the Bonne Vivant stealing the spotlight among the thoughtfully crafted selections. Brandon’s service elevated the evening further, as he was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring every need was met seamlessly.

This place never disappoints. We've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here and they always make you feel special. Every single dish I've tried has been phenomenal. The ambiance is also fantastic.

We had the best service and food/drinks. We even stopped in over an hour before our scheduled reservation as it was raining (couldn’t really walk around the neighborhood which was our intended plan) to see if we could get in a early and they were able to. 10/10! We will forever continue to come back here!

Pizza Portofino went above and beyond for our family visiting Chicago from Ohio. We mistakenly did not consider the time change booking the reservation at home for 4:00pm arriving to Chicago looking for my reservation and it said 5:00pm. They did not even hesitate to help our party get seated within 10 minutes service amazing food with excellent service and we were out of there to get to our show in time. I can’t thank them enough for saving our amazing dinner at a restaurant. We visited several times now while we’re in Chicago. Will tell others about this amazing restaurant and be back when we visit again.

It was packed tonight! And the reservation time was delayed a bit so we waited at the lovely bar. The hosts and hostesses kept coming by with updates and what a lovely surprise to have been sent appetizers on the house to make up for our wait. Besides excellent food, Gibson’s Italia is unmatched in terms of how they care for their customers !
