Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Chicago

The food and service were great. My only gripe is that the wrong name was on my happy birthday card at the table. It was my birthday and wedding anniversary.

I haven't been here for many years so I'm not sure when the update was done, but the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous! Our server was awesome and the food was excellent!! I had the stuffed chicken breast... outstanding!! Every dish was cooked to perfection! My son had the fish of the day with table side deboning. I can guarantee he will be talking about the fish for a long time to come!

We took two friends here for Thanksgiving dinner and had an excellent time. The decor is pleasingly dark and polished but with plenty of light. The food was very good. My husband has a filet of sole, which was filleted right at the table and was delicious, according to him. Two of us had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner, which was traditional (turkey, etc.); it was substantial and well-presented. Our fourth had the seafood grill, which he enjoyed. Service was exceptional from Matt (although I think he was a little disappointed we were all from Chicago) and the others helping him. We had an early reservation (11:00 am), arriving when there was hardly anyone there. By the time we left the restaurant was full but the noise level was still low and it was easy to carry on a conversation during the meal. It was our first visit and I think we may come back. A very enjoyable time.

I always have great food at Jake Melnick’s! The wait time for a table was extremely long for people who didn’t have a reservation, we did and we were seated right away. Who goes to a restaurant in Chicago on a Saturday night without reservations?! The service was outstanding. We always swing through Jake Melnick’s when we are in town, they have AMAZING wings.
