Best Restaurants for People Watching in South Side

I have been going to RL since they first opened. Always lovely, comfortable, clubby, excellent. It is a joy to be there. It is hard not to have the Dover sole. My favorite. And tonight. Joseph was our waiter. He was superb. Attentive but not too much. Classy. Friendly. But not too much. Works on the west side of the restaurant. I would ask for him. Can’t wait to go back.

Gibson's is one of my favorite restaurants of all times. We live in San Antonio but make it a point to make reservations when in Chicago, Because of the holidays, I scheduled reservations 3 months in advance. Service was superb, as always. I ordered the W.R.'s Chicago Cut and was very disappointed. The steak was cold and did not appear anywhere close to 22 oz. My son ordered a 7 oz Filet Mignon, and he was disappointed as it was very dry and overcooked. I know I could have said something at the table, but I didn't want to ruin the moment as we were having such a great time being together. The service was outstanding, and hope that next time it will be the same Gibson's experience.

Delicious food, great service and yummy drinks! It’s in a beautiful old building and had a bustling and lively atmosphere. Service was helpful and friendly. We stayed the Staypineapple Hotel so we ate a couple times at the Atwood and every meal was delicious I had the grilled cheese and the savory waffle which exceeded my expectations. The Brussels sprouts and cauliflower were seasoned and grilled perfectly.

Food is good. Outdoor space is a bit too noisy but the view is great though

We had a great time. Food was delicious and wine list is full of surprises.
