Best Restaurants with Great Beer in The Loop

We started with beet carpaccio which was amazing. Then shared the pear and gorgonzola salad. The birthday boy got a steak and I got the Delicata Squash side. At that point I was so full that I could barely finish half, even though it was delicious. Everything about the evening was wonderful and our server, Jordan, was engaging. There when we needed her but not hovering. It's a lively atmosphere, so not the place if you want to have a quiet convo but the food and service are top notch.

Anya was super friendly and attentive, our salads were presented before the warm Quark bruschetta app (killer balanced dish, so good if you’re a smoky bacon and creamy cheese fan) that we were sharing, and she was apologetic given I said we’d start with this dish. Standard size salads - arugula & goat cheese delicious - were more than substantial for a lunch portion - 3 or 4 people could even share it as a lighter app. Excellent value.

My parents were visiting from out of town and absolutely loved it here. We ordered multiple appetizers so they can sample everything. The Voodoo Shrimp was amazing as well as the Alligator and Shrimp Cheesecake. My dad loved the ambiance and has requested to go back next time they visit. Staff members were great as well! We had a wonderful time.

Made a reservation so we’re seated immediately - service was efficient and friendly. We all enjoyed the variety of the appetizers. Noise level was high because it was crowded.

Great food and excellent service … will be back soon!
