    Strip Steak Chimichurri*
    chevon a.

    When I walked in I was so impressed. It's such a cute coffee bar / social gathering place. We came for a business dinner and we were seated in time. It took time for the waiter to come over to get our drink orders, which I can understand, but after that I felt like he was very absent. A couple of us were able to flag him down to get another drink. Food arrived and many of us had steak however we did not have a steak knife. We had to wave the waiter down for steak knives. Food was good, I had strip steak and it was cooked to order, I wasn't a fan of fries with steak but the fries were good.

    We had made an open table reservation and for some reason it didn't show... the hostess asked to wait 5 mins for. Cancellation and got us seated . We had a great time, the food was delicious and service was attentive . We got a whole bunch of stuff ... my fav spicy rice rolls with tuna, , chicken meatballs, soup, fish tacos , steak, chicken fajitas , beer and other stuff. Didn't know they close by 9pm on Friday evening .

    Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl*

    I stopped by for lunch this week and had the Ahi Tuna Poke bowl. For $24, I expected a bit more but it arrived cold, including the rice, which was also a bit hard to chew. The dish came with maybe 6-7 small pieces of tuna and an interesting side of granola that just didn't add to the flavor profile for me. Service and ambiance were nice but I just really did not enjoy this dish.

    Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts

    I arrived in Chicago to stay in the city for a few days and the day I arrived I was hoping to find a spot for some casual but tasty lunch, so I looked around online and decided to book a table at Beatrix Loop not being sure if I would need a reservation or not. The staff was very accommodating and it wasn't that busy, I decided to order a Blueberry Basil Shake-Up mocktail which was very refreshing and delicious. For lunch I tried the hot honey Brussel sprouts as an appetizer and the hot honey chicken sandwich. The Brussel sprouts were good and the sandwich was really nice, only small thing is that the fries weren't too crispy but the sandwich and appetizer that I had was very delicious. I would recommend !

    Beatrix has a great post work happy hour right in the loop. They also have a patio, which is nice being right downtown. Happy hour deals are really good and waiters were super friendly. They could benefit from adding some food deals to their happy hour menu like many other spots do. Drinks were very tasty, and just $8!

    I love to go here before an opera show. Healthy options that do not get you bloated before a play. I have been to Beatrix approximately 20 times since they first opened in river north. Unfortunately, this location is always low on servers. I't is definitely a more eclectic environment than the other nearby options. 5/5 for food and 2.5/5 for service. It is almost impossible to get a second drink during happy hour so I recommend asking for two at a time! The margaritas are perfect with no sugar added!

    Hot Honey Fried Chicken*

    Nicholas was the most amazing server this Friday afternoon and turned a particularly tough day into a great one! His positive energy, knowledge of the menu, and decisiveness helped me have the best post work meal ever! His service was phenomenal he checked in the perfect amount !! The hot honey chicken sandwich he suggested was Devine and I devoured it! This place is great, lots of people working and the music isn't too loud! 10/10 thank you Nicholas!!!!!

    Came here for a group lunch with colleagues. The place looks like a typical downtown restaurant where most visitors work nearby. They have several locations in downtown among which this must be the largest one They have a relatively large menu featuring mostly American food. There are some healthy options. I ordered Ahi tuna bowl and requested to replace the white rice with vegetable or brown rice. They had neither of them but they ended up substituting with quinoa which was better!

    MISO GLAZED FAROE ISLANDS SALMON*
    Samyukta S.

    Good place for a happy hour if you work in the loop! $7 cocktails, $6 wine, $5 beer - can't go wrong with that. I enjoyed the margaritas; they were alcohol forward and hit the spot. I ended up sticking around for dinner, and ordered the whipped feta & miso glazed salmon. The whipped feta was phenomenal - the perfect blend of flavors! the honey was nice for a touch of sweetness and I appreciated the nuts for the crunch. I would definitely recommend ordering this as a starter! The miso glaze on the salmon was a bit much, resulting in the dish being too salty. Unfortunately it was hard to eat, and I didn't enjoy it much. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, but the saltiness of the fish ruined the taste of the veggies for me as well. Docking a star for this reason. Service is super friendly and the restaurant is decorated beautifully. A solid spot for happy hour and apps!

    Sweet Corn Tacos

    The mocktails were especially amazing. The food was pretty good as well! Maybe a little more sauce or cheese would have been great but it was good!

    Came here for a business lunch, the place is very modern and inviting. Our waitor was super chill, for business people always on a run, he gave out a vibe that makes things slowed down, just what I needed having this meeting with a big client. I ordered buffalo wing chicken meatball and Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. The food came quickly, meatball was dry and poke bowl, while the tuna was fresh, the whole thing was just uninspiring. Overall I think it's average, good for business meetings. I did try their happy hour the other day, wallet friendly, drinks were great.

    Stumbled upon this gem on Valentine's Day and I lovedddddd every bit of my experience!…read more For starters, they had cute valentines themed drinks and they were so tasty! They also decorated for Valentine's Day and it was soooooo aesthetically pleasing, great picture props! The music was also a viiiiibe -- whoever was DJing understood the assignment that day! Our server's name was Alon, and she was amazing! Very attentive, sweet, and informative. I told her I needed her name so that people would know who to look for when they visited next lol. She maintained great service, even when it got busy and she had to help others! Now, let's get to the part that matters most: the food! My best friend and I both had their burgers -- so fillingggggggggg and the house made aioli chefs kiss! We already decided we'll be back to try the tacos bc Alon said they're fye and I trust her judgement! The drinkssssssss -- honey listen, the champagne drink was a cute starter bc that margarita definitely didn't come to play! Also -- we didn't have reservations and still were seated in a timely manner with timely service! I'll be revisiting them for sure!

The extremely loud music made it hard to have a conversation. We were there during happy hour and enjoyed the Mexican candy shooters. The margaritas drinks were ok and the food meh. The boneless buffalo wings were just something defrosted fried and covered in sauce. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing (beef & chicken sliders) but overall the restaurant wasn't appealing enough to make me want to return, especially because the bathroom smelled like urine. It may be a vibe during brunch or something but it just was not for me.

    (Kari's Rating 8.75/10)…read more Came with a friend late on a Friday night after dinner time We were able to be seated almost immediately at a nice little private Cove table. We ordered a flight of whiskey sours, which contained whiskeys from Japan, Vietnam, and Wisconsin. I also was able to order an amaretto sour, which they made with freshly hand beaten egg whites, which was a nice cherry on the top. As far as the whiskey flights go, I think the best one was the Vietnam flight because it had a slightly lemongrass twang and was a little bit lighter than the other two. The heaviest one was the Wisconsin which came with a little bit of a bite at the end, but it still wasn't bad if you're trying to blackout on a $15 budget. I would definitely come back with a larger group this seems like a great place, but is a little bit loud- so if you be prepared to yell or wear earplugs. The bathroom took my a second to find, which should have been intuitive considering it was on the opposite end of where you come in. I blame the lighting as things are already pretty hard to find in the dark, but eventually I made it there-Pat myself on the back.

Our server was nice and water refills came at the right times. The burger was honestly pretty mid. It tasted fine, but our server said it was one of the best burgers in Chicago and I definitely wouldn't agree. 5/10. The salmon was tender and had a really interesting crust. It wasn't charred like I expected, almost had a rubbery texture, but I actually enjoyed it. The lemony miso sauce was delicious, the pickled cucumbers added a nice crunch. 7.5/10. The prime bone-in ribeye was fine. Good flavor, but nothing really stood out about it. 6.5/10. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The chocolate crunch dessert was sooo good. Loved the marshmallow pieces and all the different textures from the crunchy mousse. 8/10. The salted caramel gelato had a great texture, but it was way too sweet for me. It tasted more like straight sugar than salted caramel. 6/10. Overall, a solid last-minute date night spot with good vibes, but the chocolate crunch dessert was definitely the standout.

Taylor for a lower price. Sold! I made a reservation and stopped in that week (if not that very day). The Old Fashioned was fantastic! It had strong whiskey notes without hitting you with a wall of spirit the way a Manhattan, for example, does. The other additions of bitters and syrup did a perfect job rounding the cocktail out, adding sweet and savory notes. As much as I love variety, I loved it so much, I ordered two! I can't lie and say this wasn't at least in part due to the reduced price, that notwithstanding, me ordering two of the same is some of the highest, non-verbal praise one could get from me. For a main, I had the opportunity to try the burger, a special only available 5:00 - 6:30, and mind you I eked in by the skin of my teeth. Before I attempt to break this down, though, I need to take a slight tangent: Do any of you remember the quote from The Menu where Anya Taylor-Joy says: "A real cheeseburger. Not some fancy, deconstructed, affluent b***s***, a *real* cheeseburger."? I am pleased to report the burger here was somewhere between Chef Slowik's "very traditional cheeseburger" and the one Taylor Joy describes! In other words, just fancy enough to feel like I am getting a unique, creative, well thought out dish, but without all the pomp and circumstance! There's just one little problem: as soon as I bit into it, the juices erupting from within soaked the bottom bun, and turned it into a fork and knife affair with an unseen level of precision and speed. Very regrettably, this was the burger's undoing. That first, heavenly bite that had angels singing showed what the burger was really made of (and I mean this figuratively and literally). The beef was of the highest quality, well-seasoned, cooked medium and juicy, with a perfect sear that would have Louis Camille Maillard crying tears of joy. Two types of cheese (one being crisp and airy, the other thoroughly gooey and savory), the perfect amount of bacon, moisture and flavor from a tempura tomato, and divine sauces! One of them was a little sweet, which elevated the flavor like no one's business. Together, all these flavors were a symphony that could give Beethoven a run for his money. However, that unfortunate fact that the thing fell apart so quickly meant that symphony was limited to one bite, the rest being encountered piecemeal. I would rather skip fries than skip dessert (which I did), and ordered the Mango cheesecake. Such velvety perfection! Neither the sweetness nor the mango notes were overpowering, and while it didn't have the crust of a traditional cheesecake, the more gentle variant here absolutely works. I also appreciated the tart sorbet to offer some contrast in flavor, temperature, and texture. Now, let me talk about the service. Given that the restaurant was at capacity, the bar service and speed to get my items was reasonable. Could it hypothetically have been just a touch faster/more attentive? Yes, but in practice, when you have a full house, this is as good as it can get before robots take over. Finally, there is the matter of prices. There is no doubt in my mind that the quality is up there, at the same time, the reason I skipped the side of fries was it would have set me back $11. I suppose the real question is whether or not the quality equals the price, and after some reflection, I think the answer is yes, but one must be prepared for the sticker shock ahead of time. That said, the final verdict: The Franklin Room absolutely delivers on an all-around fantastic meal. I think whatever you order will be in the 90th percentile, at worst! However, this comes at a cost. Therefore, I would love to return to the Franklin Room, but it would likely be more a very occasional treat than a place where I'd be a regular.
