Best Restaurants for Foodies in South Side

A wonderful evening at El Che to kick off the holiday season. Special shoutout to Olivia and Julio for making sure everything was perfect and made for a memorable evening.

Bar Mar is always so good to have dinner in the Loop. I think menu was narrowed down this time but every meal on the menu is still SO GREAT

Order the Chef’s Menu - well worth it and you get to try so many different things that way. Service was impeccable.

This was the best meal I have had in a long time. From the moment we were greeted upstairs to the moment we left, we felt special. We did the tasting menu and I cannot tell you what my favorite was because everything was delicious. Adrien, our server was fantastic, informed, but never hovering. They seated us in a comfortable place and as a wheelchair user, I really appreciate it. The chef chatted with us as we are and again, made us feel special. As who Covid took the joy of food away from for almost a year, it was wonderful to experience it again here. I don't want to go into detail in on the food to avoid ruining the surprises, but try the Cotton Candy Fois Grois and you can thank me later. I cannot wait to go back again, this place deserves every Michelen Star and James Beard award out there.

A Culinary Experience! I went for a pre theater holiday dinner with family. The food was truly amazing with every bite! Every dish was perfectly presented and had layers of texture and taste to please every palate. The waiter, Scott was knowledgeable, funny and accommodated our every request. The bartender made one of the best Old Fashion I've ever tasted and served with a beautiful twist! The ambience is intimate, elegant and warm. But even as I entered the restaurant, Andrew (Beverage Manager) made me feel welcomed and told me the incredible journey that led to the Impeccable Floretine. This is a must try and try again spot for Chicago foodies! Try the gnocchi or the orecchiette, you won't be disappointed!
