Table, Donkey and Stick

The outside looks like it’s closed, but it’s open and very cozy. Bar seating is first come first serve, but reservations were readily available when we checked in the afternoon. I would definitely add this to a good food date night list because the food is delicious, drinks were unique and the staff was friendly and quick. We got the meat small plate dunno how to pronounce it and steak with brioche dessert.

Service and atmosphere was great, we sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and helpful! Drinks were delicious, we had the old fashion and the daisy which both tasted fresh and we were left wanting more. We had the potato latkes and brie & pea toast as an app and the potato latkes definitely stole the show where the pea toast wasn’t on par. We both had the burgers which were very good but didn’t blow us away, you definitely need to be a huge fan of the pretzel bun. Would definitely come back and sit at the bar for a cocktail.

Fantastic wine program. Delicious house made charcuterie items. The stars of the show were the entrees or "large plates" as they call them. We had the Arctic Char and the pork schnitzel. The Arctic Char was one of the best balanced dishes I've ever had the pleasure to taste, each ingredient on the plate added layers of complexity and texture. The pork schnitzel was crispy and the capers and arugula wonderfully cut through the richness of the dish without being overpowering. We can't wait to go back!

Very unique place for me, I loved the drink menu, it was super well put together. The highball I had was made with sage in it, very delicious. The star of the show was dessert. That sweet potato pie with toasted marshmallow was out of this world! I also had the pork schnitzel, it was made so well, perfectly crispy on the outside and very juicy/tender on the inside. The whole meal was just wonderful as was the staff.

The charcuterie and cheese board was great and I liked the steak tartare, while my wife did not. However, the seafood stew was a complete miss other than the presentation. The shrimp and mussles were good but the broth was awful to the point I could not eat any of it. The dessert was also a miss in my eyes. The servers were extremely friendly and on Tuesday they have a great wine/champagne deal. Further the ambience is nice.

Fantastic dining experience. Don’t let the eclectic word scare you, the Alpine cuisine is great! The charcuterie was delicious and accentuated by the fresh bread. The beets and sunchokes were excellent. I can’t rave enough about the sunchokes especially! The crudo that was recommended was nice and light and paired beautifully with the confit duck, which was fall off the bone and incredibly moist. To top it all off, the drink menu pairs well with the food choices and the old fashioned was great!

They’ve got great quality food and drinks. Most recently, we got the burger and potato latkes think of them like elevated tater tots. The burger was really good and was recently featured as one of the top 20 burgers in Chicago. It’s a really nice combination of flavors! Their drink menu is pretty extensive and in the past, when I’ve gotten a cocktail, it’s been great! It feels like a really cozy place - they have a small sidewalk patio, an indoor bar and some seating, and a back patio as well.

Went for the annual offal tasting menu. Favorite course I didn't get a picture but it was a grilled heart. Also loved the blood sausage scotch egg. The back room was quite tight, had to get up to let guests in and out on a long communal table.Food: 5/5

Great Gem in Chicago a truly surprise walking the neighborhood I found this little but amazing spot. Great service but the food is out of this world. I will go back once back to Chicago. The best part was find out the health insurance is cover for the employees!!! This type of business the ones who cares for the employees are the ones we should support, people happy makes people happy and in the food business that is a key. Great job! I like the food and the view of this little but huge place in Chicago! A great surprise find they serve Agua de Piedra my favorite seltzer in Mexico.

There were 11 of us for my sister's birthday. Our server was funny and energetic with wonderful recommendations. The Sunchokes were by far the best small dish we ate, and my delicious main was the duck confit. Would definitely come back to eat again!Food: 5/5
