Best Restaurants for People Watching in Wrigleyville

This is our favorite place in the city for many reasons. The drinks, the food, the look and feel of it, but the number one reason we keep coming back is the people who work at RL. It was a wildly busy evening this last time we came in and while many would have folded, the team went out of their way to take care of us. And that’s what sets this place apart. You’re cared for here. We were listened to and made comfortable. It ended up being a wonderful evening all thanks to obviously the food and drink, but mainly each employee we came in contact with. Come for the lush martinis, the perfect dover sole, the rich wood and dim lights but keep coming back for the people.

Gibson’s is one of the biggest names in Chicago for a reason. Always a fantastic experience whenever I get the chance to dine with them. The Gold Coast staff was working like a well oiled machine while dealing with the business of the holiday season. Food was spectacular and came out very quick. As always, looking forward to my next meal here.

The igloos at Alma were so thoughtfully curated and seasonally fun! The smores lot that you got really made the experience! Our server Jackson was also so kind and helpful. We had a wonderful evening!

Overall great experience. The terrace should have better heating options in the winter, and the alcoholic drinks are a little overpriced based on the little amount of liquor used and compared to other restaurants in Fulton market. The food is delicious and the service is great.

We accidentally came 30 min late to our reservation on a busy Sat night and they were still very accommodating! Server was so kind and food was great!
