Ada Street

It's isolated from the street (no diesel exhaust in your drink) and covered with picnic tables . Grab one of their great cocktails , maybe play a game of ping pong and enjoy your summer evening. Read more

We arrived at this secret romantic place and the restaurant it was beautiful best food I've had in Chicago, the bartender Sarah it was so sweet. This place is amazing in service and food quality!

This modern yet rustic bar features enough drinks to satisfy even the pickiest. Get going with one of their numerous craft cocktails , or something off their extensive beer and wine list .

Great food. Hard to find but once your in you'll want to come back. And you can suggest music from their vinyl collection but it's up to them if it fits the vibe that night.

There’s no going wrong here: snag a seat in the back and try the grilled octopus with spiced carmellini beans or the incredible polenta fries . For more, follow us on 4sq or at www.renhotels.com. Read more

Great service. Got brussel sprout and kale salad from the chef Joanna Stachon. Shrimp cake and chicken tikka masala pie from restaurant week menu inspired by famous concert rider request.

Oh we had such a wonderful experience here. Every employee had genuine smiles, didn’t seem rushed, and they worked well as a team. We shared the jalapeño bruschetta (????), scallops , and rice .

Deep-fried black-eyed peas are the perfect drinking snack , steak (dressed in nothing more than brown butter ), salads and even doughnuts make sense with the food-friendly cocktails from the bar . Read more

Absolute must go. Everything on the menu was deliciously flavorful and prepared to perfection. Oh yeah, and the cocktails are on point! 10/10

Fantastic cocktails - get the moscow mule or the champagne/angostura bitters combo. Amazing food - highlights were the lamb popsicles , steak tartare and fried manchego cheese balls.

The dinner menu here is inspired by "last meal" requests by infamous (and executed) criminals, though it's unlikely any death row inmates actually got wagyu hanger steak , one of the entree options. Read more

Brussel, carpaccio , gnocchi , steak were fantastic. Service was great and everyone was so friendly and on pulse

Absolutely perfect and delicious. Plus, our server was so gracious, he made sure to bring a special dish for our dairy/egg-allergic daughter. A truly magical experience.

Step through a former freight elevator shaft to find one of the hottest bar and restaurants in Chicago. Try the Winter G&T along with one of the many sensational small plates for a truly perfect meal. Read more

This hidden gem offers a masterful menu inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. We recommend their infamous and appetizing black-eyed peas . Read more

Incredible cocktails , arranged on the menu from lighter to more robust. All the food was superb, with the squid as a standout.

Goofily named cocktails threaten to steal the show, but chef Zoe Schor 's clever menu holds its own with crispy black-eyed peas , supremely fresh salumi and cheeses , and daring Southern-fried quail .

Taste why Chocolate has been called the best chocolate dessert in Chicago! Whether you saved room, you can't stop. http://chicago.seriouseats.com/2012/07/sugar-rush-chocolate-from-ada-street.html

The sliders , the shrimp , the short ribs , and the pork chops (with the chipotle sauce ) are amazing, but the bread pudding is orgasmic!

You can't go wrong with the poached-egg-topped duck confit pasta and the the "Tangled Up In Blue" (Pig 's Nose scotch , yellow chartreuse , orange bitters ). Read more

Really small restaurant but great ambiance. Crispy black peas , fried brussel sprouts , and especially the lamb rack are not to be missed.

Loved the atmosphere and the food was amazing! Felt like we found a romantic hidden gem .

Scallops are not worth trying (coming from a scallop lover) but the friend cheese was like a desert ! Also the chicken liver is amazing.

Delicious little hidden gem ! Try the squid , sea scallops , linguine , and spicy chicken wings .

Simon and Garfunkel after 10 on a Thursday night!? With the amazing collection of LPs to choose from!? The food was excellent but this just did not work for me...

The roasted summer squash with chile and mint is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more

This joint serves delicious small plates (try the crisp lamb ‘scrumpets’) and craft cocktails .

Executive chef Zoe Schor uses house-cured Atlantic salmon as the wrapper for their Salmon spring roll . Read more

I highly recommend ordering the polenta fries , black eyed peas , lamb ribs , duck confit , and veal . Great spot!

We tried so many dishes tonight and all were amazing. Drinks were fantastic. Cannot wait to go back.

Amazing cocktails and great range of small plates !

Such a great spot. Menu changes regularly.

Cocktails are great and the vibe is unbeatable

One of my favorites in chicago! Get the oyster sliders !

Loved the Black Eyed Peas , fried Brussels and the steak !

The cocktails are terrific! Great service, amazing food - have to try the Octopus .

Seats at the chef's table are amazing if you can get them!

Very loud . No bar to drink at while waiting for a table. Food was good, though a little spicy for me.

Three words: Denver lamb ribs .

Fantastic cocktails . Small plates were all well-executed. Music is loud !

Great space. Order the octopus and the po boys

Spent $45 per person for the three course meal. Got buttered broccoli , a large chicken nugget , and Nutella and bread . Not impressed.

Awesome space

Forbidden Black Fried Rice . Thank me later.

The polenta fries and the grilled octopus .

Everything.

Polenta fries . That's all you need to know.

Three more words: pretzel bread pudding .
