- SStephanieLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined todayWent for Santa Baby experience and it was AMAZING. I originally made reservations for the wrong date and it filled up- I was able to send a message and she changed the date for us (Thank you!!) When we checked in I was greeted with a birthday card signed by everyone (thank you!). All three stories were immersed in Christmas decoration. It wasn’t overly crowded, even for a Friday at 9pm. The drinks were good, service was 10/10. And as tiki bar lovers, we will be back next time we are in Chicago!More infoBamboo ClubPrice: Moderate• Pizza Bar• Wrigleyville•4.3
- JJessicaVIPChicago / Illinois •11 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoExcellent service. Our party of 7 was able to space out cocktails, appetizers, and main courses without being rushed by our server. Food and cocktails were very good! Unique spins on all dishes. Favorites were vada pav, board + extra beer bread, pork shank, duck and dumplings, short rib. The ambiance is great! Mood lighting without being too dark; alternative music at a perfect volume. Highly recommend this Ravenswood neighborhood gem!More infoCultivate by Forbidden RootPrice: Moderate• Brewery• Lincoln Square•4.7

The food was all great- we had the cabbage and potato plates to share, both delicious. Our entrees of gnudi and pork chops were so good. Lovely place.More infoFarm Bar - RavenswoodPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Lincoln Square•4.7

Discover Lincoln Square
Lincoln Square is a trendy area on the north side of Chicago with plenty of dining options. International fare like Mexican, French, and Korean barbecue can be found in abundance. Modern restaurants and bars exist among fine dining establishments, bistros, and restaurants serving nine-course meals. Chicago’s history as a meatpacking hub has contributed to its well-known style of barbecue. Ribs and sausages in a sweet red sauce are cooked on the iconic Chicago-style aquarium pit, which is a steel box with meat cooking just a few feet above hardwood embers. Don’t forget to get a taste of Chicago deep-dish pizza. It starts with a 1-inch-deep crust that is baked so that the sides hold in the loads of mozzarella cheese, sausage, green pepper, and onions that are all topped with a tomato sauce.
