    Great service, fun drinks, unique menu, and fantastic view! The salsa had quite the kick but was super flavorful. I highly recommend capping your night out with an order of the churros!

    Fried calamari
    Jenny T.

    Not bad, but not super duper memorable. Stopped here after an exhibit for a quick bite. Ceviche was good; wasn't a fan of the al dente sweet potato though. The calamari was super bready and there weren't a lot of tentacle pieces; I did really like the sweet pepper sauce but it was really watery so didn't really stay on the calamari. The avocado toast was good but the amount of octopus was disappointing. The raspberry iced tea tasted like flavored water... Kind of gross. Overall really fast service, decent enough food and a good option if you don't want to venture out of Navy Pier.

    Wings

    Food was average, atmosphere and service were great. Slower when we were there so not to long of a wait on food. Forgot to take a picture of the T-bone but it was ok. Would choice a different option next time.

    Blackened salmon
    Ree T.

    This is a nice spot right at Navy Pier. It's a chill Latinx restaurant, Peruvian cuisine. The service is wonderfully friendly. The salmon was good a little more done than. I like. My eyes were bigger than my belly so I had to leave some food behind. I was satisfied tho.

    Mariscada A-P view !

    Fabulous experience here! First time for me at the Navy Pier, and the menu looked good so... Your choice of a large indoor dining room or outdoor seating, and we took the latter, with narrow bar like seating overlooking the water. Fernando was our server and was extremely helpful with choosing our food, as we probably would not have enjoyed our original choice. Drinks: classic mojito was smooth, double Captain and diet a stringing pour. We started with tuna ceviche tostadas, two beautifully prepared tostadas with incredible flavored ceviche, light yet filling. We also shared mariscada, a wonderful mix of seafood with a peanut sauce that had quite the kick. We were able to catch the weekly Saturday night fireworks Fromm our seats while being comfortably seated. Billy, a photographer, went around taking photos, so we bought some. Nice guy as well. Inside dining room was large; many diners inside and out. DJ was working outside, music not consistently what I'd listen to but added to the fun, Miami Beach vibe. Prices what you'd expect for a touristy area but food again was delicious.

    Fajitas

    It's July 4th. We are on the pier and dropped in. No line, no wait and food in less than 10 minutes. Serve hot and ready. Shrimp dip was delicious and pita was serve soft and to order . The ambiance was great. Music playing in the background.

    Tuna Ceviche Tostada
    Patricia R.

    Excellent service, excellent food! We stopped in here for a quick bite and to rest our tootsies after walking down to Navy Pier. The staff was friendly and on the ball. We had to the tuna ceviche tostadas, and they were fresh and delicious. I had an aperol sprirz that I was very happy with. I'd definitely visit again,

    Churro Birthday!

    Prime real estate near the end of navy pier! Bar Sol has a great atmosphere with stunning views, perfect for a celebration. The staff was attentive and made the experience fun with sparklers on the dessert. However, the strong bar smell made it harder to fully enjoy the food. Overall, a lively spot for special occasions, but the ambiance could be improved. -AT

    Delicious food, great view & ambience, kind staff!

    Fajitas, seafood gumbo, and fries
    Brian M.

    We came during December, we were waking by the pier and found this spot. Everything we ordered blew our minds in presentation and flavor. People complain about the price but what do you expect a restaurant in a prime location to be? Service was very quick with alot of extra options. We will definitely recommend if you guys like mariscos and a good time!

    The food was good. Nothing special. The food is on the pricier side which is to be expected since it is in Navy Pier by the water. The environment was nice. I ate outside with my girlfriend and children. The service was ok no complaints.

    Steak Tacos

    Great Spot for Fireworks Night! We picked this place because it looked like the view would be good on a Wednesday night. The outdoor seating provided a great view once 9:00 came around. The staff was very friendly and accommodated our request for seats with a view of the water. The waiter was quick and had good recommendations. She had the garlic shrimp and I ordered the steak tacos. We both really enjoyed our meals. She had a Paloma and I had a beer. Both were well prepared and served. The food was perfectly delicious and given the available view during the fireworks, it's really a great value if you are visiting Chicago, and have Navy Pier on your list, this is a great choice for dinner.

    Visited this place during work trip to Chicago. Good vibes and friendly service. Beautiful view of the Navy Pier. The food is overpriced and underwhelming.

No notes. The sandwich had candied bacon on it with this perfect sweet flavor, and it normally comes with honey Dijon--but I don't do Dijon, so I swapped it for this garlic sauce ‍ And when I say that garlic tanginess mixed with the sweet candied bacon... whew. Chef's kiss. Absolute perfection. My boyfriend got the steak wok bowl with corn, broccoli, brown rice, and some other veggies--and I definitely stole a few bites It was SO good. Like... flavorful, fresh, just everything. The whole vibe? Perfect for a lunch date. The ambiance was cute, relaxed, and just right And I loved that they serve room temperature water (because ice? not my thing ‍) But let's talk about the real star--our waiter Eli He was AMAZING. Super personable, funny, and just a whole vibe. He had the cutest red cat-eye nails and burgundy hair accents--like, style on point He told us he manages both the Gold Coast and River North locations, so I'm definitely hoping we run into him again. And when me and my boyfriend were holding hands at the end, he goes, "Aww this is so cute. I'm not jealous though" we all cracked up. Just made the experience even better. Listen... 5 stars is not enough. It's just not. If you've been thinking about going--THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Go. I promise you won't regret it

Our friend said one of her favorite places to suggest to visitors was Doc B's Restaurant. So, we gave it a try. The menu includes a wide variety of salads, wings, wraps, sandwiches and, my favorite, burgers. I was with a group of 4 and we all ordered burgers - and none of us opted for the same burger. So, our little group got to try 4 different burgers. And all four were delicious. Three of us ordered with a side of fries - also delicious. Great place for dinner in the Windy City.

It was within walking distance ... did I mention it was raining that night? And I was hangry? I was game for anything at that point. We arrived and waited probably four minutes for a table. A couple of the adults ordered a beer, the others ordered a Coke. We ordered a large pretzel and our mains. The pretzel was so good. All the meals were outstanding (a sliced brisket sandwich, some wings, chicken tenders, onion rings and a burger). Service was great. It was a little loud when we first arrived as there was an intense Illinois State basketball game on but as soon as the game ended, it was much quieter. We really enjoyed our meal at Jake's!

However, sometimes there any. My family and I were just wrapping up our annual holiday trip to The Drake (we've been coming for 15 years). I had a short window while my husband got a car and a hungry kid. Coq D'or was the only open restaurant at The Drake at the time so we went there. We waited for almost 15 minutes for our server(I had to ask 2 different staff members to get her). Someone brought us waters in the meantime and I saw other servers look at us so we didn't exactly sneak in. I ordered us a grilled cheese to share when our server finally showed up and kept us with waters, not knowing how long the food would take and when my husband would be back to pick us up. Our sandwich came out fairly quickly, but was, unfortunately, the worst grilled cheese I've ever had. When I got our check, I noticed that she'd brought us a children's grilled cheese (I didn't know this was an option as I'd looked up the menu on line while waiting). It's possible that the food was so bad because it was from the children's menu- I've noticed since having kids that some restaurants serve their trash food to kids. We were starving and our server never checked back and I didn't want to drag my son and stroller and infant through the bar looking for her. I left her a note on the back of the credit card statement (with a 20% tip), which I've posted along with my review. Although from how I observed other tables were treated, ours was an isolated experience, I will never eat in this restaurant again and recommend others think twice before doing so as there are many other options in the area.

A drink at The Drake has been on my list probably since seeing "Risky Business," so it was a treat to finally get there. The hotel itself is gorgeous, and stepping into this Prohibition-era bar is indeed like stepping back in time (until you get to the TVs that is), from the decor to Bob the bartender who has been there for 31+ years. Service is what it is, but there is an interesting, immediate familiarity between staff and patrons, many of whom are locals. That said, it's nothing particularly extraordinary, in fact it's probably overpriced. The mixed drinks are generous in their alcohol content, though it's mostly all well spirits. The wine pours are generous as well. The food looked pretty good, the gentleman next to me was raving about his crab cake. In the end, I feel like this is a spot everyone should come to once, particularly in this area during the holidays. It's a small glimpse of an old Chicago that is few and far between, and a worthwhile stop for an hour long nostalgia trip.
