   We were a group of 8. We started with a wonderful bottle of wine recommended by the sommelier. We enjoyed the seafood salad, ahi tuna, skirt steak and mahi mahi for dinner. The sides were also delicious. Our waiter Jason was so friendly and had the best smile. He was also very efficient!! We can’t wait to go back!!

   Thanks for the review, Michael! It's great to hear that our service met your expectations as we believe excellent service is the beginning and end to a great dining experience :) Im guessing you're a seafood lover as you enjoyed the calamari so much so, next time you're in, I highly suggest you try our Italian ceviche! It is honestly incredible. My name is Margo. Ask for me when you're here as I would love to get your feedback. Hope to See You Soon. Cheers, -Margo and the Tavern Managment Team

   We had a fantastic dinner experience, checking all the boxes: service and engagement with Stephen made the night; food outstanding, drinks good, atmosphere just right. My favorite of five dinners during our stay in Chicago.

   We had a very good experience at Tavern on Rush. Tyler the manager made our experience really great. He made sure our reservation was honored. The upstairs was very beautiful. I had the branzino with potatoes it was good. I am use to the whole fish but it still was good. Petite fillet steak with blue cheese on it. It was delicious. NY strip was delicious as well. The asparagus, fries and brussel sprouts was delicious. I definitely be back! Thanks for making my friend birthday memorable

   So disappointed in the decor as it wasn't anything special and simply felt like a hotel lobby bar. I was hoping for booths and luxury and it fell short.
   

   Tavern on RushResponded 6 days ago

   Thanks for visiting us, Patrick! We appreciate your feedback on the decor, BUT, did you gat a chance to see our upstairs space while you were here? While the "bar side" of Tavern is set up more for volume and functionality to accommodate said volume, the booths you are wanting DO exist in our upstairs space! We actually have an entire room upstairs dubbed the "Velvet Loft" because of the Frank Sinatra era style velvet booth setting throughout the room. There is also a smaller 6 seat bar-top upstairs that is quite warm and inviting :) Please do come back and see this beautiful space! A couple of glasses of bubbles on us while I give you tour! Best, - Margo and The Management Team

    Hi Mara, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our food and service :) As a side note, because we are in a hotel, we unfortunately do not have control over the temperature settings within our space. But, we are working on how we can get some resolve on this small issue. We look forward to serving you again soon! Thank You, The Tavern on Rush Management Team
