Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Edgewater

We had a lovely, memorable evening at Mon Ami Gabi! It had been many years since my last dining experience at this restaurant, and I found the experience even better than I remembered. The ambiance was warm and cozy, the food uniformly excellent (we particularly enjoyed the French Onion Soup, deviled eggs, filet mignon au poivre, and trout), and our server, Eric, was exceptionally warm, gracious, and knowledgeable. Already looking forward to my next dinner at this Lincoln Park gem!

This restaurant is amazing. It is the most authentic Italian food we have ever tasted so far in the United States. It is for sure our favorite when we feel like having some food that reminds us home. Their saffron risotto is better than my mom’s! Pappardelle alla bolognese, tiramisu and risotto con ossobuco are definitely recommended. Service is great, they make you feel welcomed and at home. Good job guys!

We have had dinner at Eden and enjoyed it. Checked out the brunch menu on line and there was a lot there to choose from. Friendly and professional staff, our server was fun. Coffee and tea were great. Between the tree of us we did the avocado toast, breakfast sandwich and farmed omelet plus a fruit cup. Their fruit cup should not be missed, variety, presentation, size and inclusion of mint leaves, a real winner. All the main dishes were strong offerings. Add a nice bright room and tons of parking, no wonder why it was nearly full when we finished up.

My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!

An incredible experience from beginning to end. The food was innovative yet familiar, and each dish was incredible. Our server was outstanding and her enthusiasm when describing the courses and our wine pairings elevated the entire experience. Service overall was comparable to 3+ Michelin starred restaurants. We didn’t expect it to be *this* great, but they’re definitely overachieving at North Pond. Can’t wait for a return visit!
