Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Portage Park

Excellent food!!! We were expecting “pub food” but this was so much more. Skilled use of unexpected herbs and spices. This kitchen produced perfectly cooked proteins. The duck was the most flavorful duck I’ve had in a restaurant. The octopus was exactly the right texture. Pork shank and short ribs were fall-off-the-bone and seasoned creatively. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We appreciated the art of the serving dishes, not just plain white plates. Service was also excellent. We were greeted at the door and our table was immediately ready. Our server was attentive. Our food came out hot. Only real negative is the 3% charge to use a card. I don’t like carrying $250+ in cash. I wish this place was in our hometown. We look forward to returning to Cultivate.

Good times and it was great food. We didn’t drink but I’m sure beer was great too.

This restaurant always feels like home and over delivers. I have been there for family get togethers, graduations and fun date nights. Tonight was another wonderful experience and long last memory. Thank you for the wonderful service and delicious food!!

First time here. Tremendous blend of tastes from start to finish ! We tried 3 unique cocktails and were not disappointed. The Fig Carré is my favorite. For starters the Potted Carrots and Shaved Butternut First timers & Squash were delicious! Of the pastas our favorite ended up being Stuffed Farfalle with Pappardelle coming in 2nd. The rainbow trout was excellent & light. We so enjoyed every taste! The butter cake was THE BOMB. Service was attentive and top notch . Was exceptional culinary experience.

It was my first time visiting a Polish restaurant. The overall experience was amazing. It’s small but lovely. The waitress was very good at guiding us as to what she thought we might like. The food was very good. It’s very filling. We definitely could have split our entree. This place is definitely a winner 🥰
