Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in South Side

Our server and bartender were very knowledgeable and helped us choose pairings that lead to a phenomenal meal. The manager came to our table and asked for our thoughts and was very kind. The meal and experience was incredible! Will be back.

I wish I had gotten the name of our waitress. She made our experience wonderful and we come every year to the Walnut Room since my children were little and they are now 20 and 17. Our waitress took one of the best pictures of our family at the tree, came to our table often refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything more. She was just so happy and joyful it really added to our experience at the table. She even brought us Walnut Room glasses at the end. We always have a good time at the Walnut Room but our experience this time was exceptional! I thanked her at the end as well, but please treat this waitress well and keep her because she is a shining star for sure!!

We asked for a quiet table, and received one in the back room with a window to the kitchen--perfect. Excellent waiter, with great recommendations and service. We ordered too much, so couldn't come close to finishing it all. Breaded pickles with siracha aioli were outstanding, wedge salad very good (tho dressing was sparse), Gage burger was good, chicken biriyani was very flavorful but too much. Next time we'll split just one entree.

Great food. Cool design concept. Warm, inviting host. Kitchen staff acting professional. Service was ok, not bad, just ok. We'll be back for sure.

Went before seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Food was great. Goulash, Jager Schnitzel, a beer flight, Berghoff Root Beer and salted caramel cheesecake to end the night. Can’t wait to get back!
