Gilt Bar

Incredible service. We came for a special occasion and were treated so well - got a seat at a large velvet booth downstairs in the speakeasy . Photobooth is 3 bucks, leave an email for digital copy.

Quite a gem. The shrimp & grits transformed my generally negative impression of grits . The Pork Belly was fall off the bone to die for and the truffle pasta complimented everything else very nicely.

The truffle pasta is awesome. Their pastas in general are really good. The cocktails we had were also very good. Great interior and the service was friendly and attentive. Two thumbs up!

I loved the cocktails ! The restaurant is dark which I love. There is an even darker eating area/bar hidden downstairs that is very dark and cozy . I'll definitely be down there next time I go!

The roasted chicken , seasoned with oregano and roasted garlic , is as simple and classic as dishes get. But the chicken is juicy perfection, a reminder of how soul-satisfying roast chicken can be.

Loved the foie gras . Truffle pasta is unique. I liked it but I think it's better for a few people to share/taste rather than finish a plate by oneself.

The salmon crudo is a nice dish, and a great option for an appetizer if you’re looking for something on the less-filling side.

The steak tartare is to die for! Pork meatballs and pork belly are also delicious. House red wine for $4 can't be beat. Also try the Bee's Knees - awesome cocktail !

Make a reservation in the library (downstairs). Food and drinks are outstanding. The service is top notch. Check out the photo booth after dinner .

The waygu double smash cheeseburger is everything a 🍔 should aspire to be. Don’t be shy; add the thicc bacon .

Come here for the truffle pasta , tenderloin steak tartare and heirloom tomatoes , bursts and basil . You will NOT be disappointed.

The vodka smash is so refreshing and the truffle pasta so satisfying. Absolutely in love with Gilt! Have been many times and always have a great time.

Pork belly can be found all over town , but I recommend sampling Gilt Bar's superior version, consisting of meaty slices under a raspberry-shallot glaze, over farro verde and wax beans.

The Pimm's Cup is phenomenal. And so are the foie gras , beef tartare , mussels , truffle pasta , and the pork belly . Stellar.

Try the ham and cheese fondue from our 100 Best list:Take a croque-madame, increase the cheese tenfold, melt it in a crock, fold in ham , put the egg on top and use the bread on the side, for dipping .

They make great drinks here. I had a Negroni before dinner and the Whiskey Sour after. Also, if it's still on the menu get the confit bacon entree. Bacon for dinner !

The smashed red potatoes with chicken jus are among the best spuds in town—and save room for the desserts , which are downplayed as dinerworthy but are masterpieces in disguise. Read more

Really good & would strongly recommend the Library as a private event space .

Downstairs is an amazing little speakeasy !! Great cocktails , great atmosphere and great service!!!!

Grilled Salmon , Salad , wine and cocktails were delicious. Great place, cool vibe

The chicken is an a suite must! Also, they have a cool policy with byob wine . Bring a bottle and instead of corkage fee you share a glass!

The mussels , from Maine, are fresh, delicious and huge. Great service and prices.

This place is amazing. Key things to order: Bone Marrow , Orechiette, Shrimp & Grits . Also the Old Fashioneds are to die for. Well , they are pretty good.

Best rib-eye I've ever eaten! Delicious cocktails (Gin Mule!). Definitely great for sharing with friends :)

Gorgeous interior! The steak tartare was amazing, as was the truffle pasta . Rich, and so worth it!

I would recommend any of the pastas in a second! They all had pork which I generally can't eat (so that's a bummer), but I did it anyway this time ;)

The meatball appetizer is incredible.

Though you can't make reservations at the Library , you can reserve a table at Gilt Bar and ask to be seated downstairs.

Awesome spot! Highly recommend on the food and cocktail front ❤️

Never had the food before, just drinks. It was delicious. Had the short rib stroganoff . So good.

Really excellent spot. Pork meatballs w/ kale is delicious! Top it off coconut cream pie . Excellent spirits selection too!!

Amazing quality food in a cozy lounge (dim lighting ) atmosphere. Jamie, our server was amazing!

Hidden gem in Windy City . Truffle pasta , short rib ragu , and pork meatballs are all outstanding. Must visit place.

Amazing service and atmosphere.

The chocolate cake is amazing, the carrot cake is meh. Bone marrow and rib eye is phenomenal.

Love the side dishes to share. They’re all delicious and the craft cocktails rock.

Get the bone marrow , the pasta , and all of their desserts . Skip the cocktails if you're not picky and get their table wine

Best bone marrow I've ever had!!! Great cocktails and love the bar downstairs.

Loud , but nice ambience, great Old Fashioned(s) and very good food. Downstairs is cash-only but it's a great hangout space if you don't mind talking loudly over the music and/or the band. Read more

The steak tartare will have you dreaming about it for days.

Best carrot cake you will ever have in your entire life

Chicken is great. Salmon was a little salty. The library room downstairs has a very cool vibe

Sophistication, affordable gastropub fare and classic cocktails reign at owner Brendan Sodikoff's gilded age-inspired River North hotspot. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Five women shared two "toast " items (beef tartar and boratti with heirloom tomatoes ), two pastas , mussels , french fries and the steak followed by warm brownie with ice cream and blackberries. Delish.

Gilt's beer list anchors the drinks menu with a dozen on tap and about 30 in the bottle, ranging from local brews to Belgian specialty pours. Wines by the glass pull from an eclectic wine list , but th Read more

The Gunthorp Farm chicken is wonderful, succulent. The ribeye was tasty but far too fatty. The slow braised kale and marinated red cabbage just about perfect. My opinion? The honkytonk music must go!

Great meal. Best of my Chicago trip. Get the pot roast , pork belly or any of the homemade pastas and you'll be very happy you did. Also, great craft cocktails .

From the people that brought you Maude's and Au Cheval... yum! Steak tar tar is excellent.

I love this place. Amazing food. The best cocktails are in the library . 🍹
