Great food! I got the Chile lime shrimp which was divine! I was close enough to lunch time that I was still able to try the juice. The dragon fruit juice was great. Good mix of ginger, coconut, and fruit juices. They were good about allergies. I'm thankful. Service was spectacular! Didn't love the dessert options so I didn't try any. But if they make the chia pudding a staple, I would love to try it.

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.

Not our best visit, sadly. Table/ambiance great. Server started off great, attentive, sweet. Cocktails/mocktails lovely. Food, just average, oddly. Strip steak chimichurri was short on chimi & texture; was more like a sirloin, and more medium than med-rare. Fries were just...nothing. Not super hot, crispy, fresh or flavorful. Ordered Brussels sprouts to make up for it but they were over-charred & under-sauced, unlike usual. Crusted whitefish was apparently just so-so; looked great but not a lot of flavor. Was better with my lemon aioli that I didn't need for the fries. Green goddess salad was apparently wonderful though. Sadly, after someone dropped the food off, sever didn't come back to check on us or our food, and when our (expected) 4th person arrived, took 7 minutes before we could even find her & wave her down to get the order taken so she had to sit there watching us eat. Dessert menu was underwhelming so we didn't. Not horrible, just underwhelming. Note: They're adding that "surcharge" now but we asked to have it removed (as you can.) Would prefer to tip servers more instead.

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*
Diane M.

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
Laken C.

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 !

What a garbage/cheap kitchen food menu!!!
Shiny S.

Let's start by saying the staff and service here is excellent and amazing. Happy hour is also a wonderful deal here in he Loop. Now, this is why this is the worst Lettuce concept yet. The foods absolutely terrible and gerbil food. There is absolutely nothing but kennebec fries and tired brussel sprouts for small bites. The rest is garbage kitchen hack scraps like whipped feta, chicken meatballs (NOBODY IN CHICAGO WANTS A STUPID CHICKEN MEATBALL). Don't come to Beatrix for food - just go to the salad bar and take it back to your office because chefs here can't do anything you can't find in the salad bar. Maybe not their fault. No damn hot plate snacks or real proteins other than fake meat and mushroom rice. Just terrible food choices for a place trying to draw Loop workers happy hours. The burger is good - not Monk's or Small Cheval good - but that is the only damn thing on this menu to film your gut. The quinoa burger is not cutting it, l. Add some damn real food!

Yummy margarita

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*
Kiaya S.

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
Nirali P.

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!

The atmosphere…read moreis perfect for a night out -- dim lighting, fun neon signs, great music, a beautiful bar, and plenty of cute photo opportunities throughout the restaurant. The food was also a hit. The fried chicken nachos were easily one of my favorites and something I would order again. We also tried the huge brunch board, which came loaded with pancakes, waffles, chicken, eggs, potatoes, bacon, fruit and more. It says it feeds up to three people, but the portions were VERY generous and could easily be shared with a group. We also had the smothered potatoes and several cocktails, and everything we tried was good. The drinks were well made and fit the whole Brunch After Dark vibe perfectly. Overall, I love the idea of being able to have a full brunch experience without having to squeeze it into Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing dining experience. The sausage and bacon were…read moreterrible--they tasted as if they had been microwaved rather than freshly prepared. The food overall was simply not good. What made the experience even worse was trying to eat while literally fighting off bees. We were just trying to enjoy our meal and each other's company, but it was nearly impossible to relax and enjoy ourselves with bees constantly around our table. We asked twice if the windows could be closed and received very little help from our waitress. Yet once the party of 11 seated next to us arrived and made the same request, the windows were finally closed. That was extremely frustrating considering we had already asked more than once. I will say the host did her best, and I appreciated her efforts. However, the waitress was not very helpful at all. She was more concerned with the next group coming in then whatbwe were experiencing. And given the poor quality of the food, the bee situation, and the fact that our repeated request was essentially ignored until another party complained, our meal should have been comped--or at the very least, some type of adjustment should have been offered. Instead, we paid $175.40 for a meal and an experience we couldn't even enjoy. I will not be returning.

Everyone enjoyed their drinks and they had a fun menu by the chef and we ordered off of both menus. Drinks were reasonably priced. Bartenders were great and explained what was going on.

Also wish I had taken picture of all the drinks.

October 1, 2026 TL;DR: Arbella was this close to a five-star…read moredate-night experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, our server struck the perfect balance between attentive and giving us space, and both cocktails I tried were creative and delicious. The truffle fries were pretty mediocre, but even that wouldn't have stopped me from giving Arbella five stars. What did? Discovering afterward that a 5% "service charge" had been added to the bill. I really dislike this growing practice of restaurants and bars adding percentage-based fees rather than simply pricing their menu accordingly, and it was enough to cost an otherwise excellent experience two stars. Ambiance: 5/5 Arbella absolutely nails the atmosphere. I came here on a date, and it was a great choice for that. The music was good, the lighting and decor created a really intimate vibe, and our booth was comfortable enough that we could settle in and actually enjoy the evening. There was energy in the room without it being so loud or overwhelming that we couldn't have a conversation. Even the menu design and presentation fit the experience. If you're looking for somewhere that feels elevated, interesting, and still comfortable for a date, Arbella definitely checks those boxes. Service: 5/5 Our server was fantastic. This was one of those rare occasions where someone found exactly the right balance between being attentive and not constantly interrupting our date. We never felt forgotten about, but we also had plenty of space to enjoy ourselves and talk. I especially appreciated the recommendations. Whenever we had a question or wanted guidance on what to order, our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful rather than simply pushing something on the menu. Excellent service from beginning to end. Drinks & Food: 4/5 The cocktails were easily the highlight. I tried the First You Take The Graham and the Trankilo Melon, and both were really good while also being different enough from what I would normally order to make the experience more memorable. This is exactly what I want from a cocktail bar: drinks that make me curious enough to try something new and then actually deliver. The truffle fries, however, were mid at best. They weren't terrible, but compared with how impressive everything else felt, they were forgettable. I'd absolutely come back for the cocktails, but I'd choose something different to eat next time. About That 5% Service Charge... This is unfortunately where Arbella lost me, and ultimately why I cannot give the experience five stars. I didn't notice until reviewing my bill afterward that a 5% service charge had been added. I strongly dislike this increasingly common practice of restaurants and bars adding percentage-based fees to the bill. If operating costs have increased, I would much rather an establishment incorporate those costs transparently into its menu prices so I know what I'm agreeing to pay when I order. Calling it a "service charge" also creates unnecessary confusion, particularly when customers are still expected to decide what to tip their server. At a cocktail-focused establishment, where you may be ordering multiple drinks throughout an evening rather than paying attention to every line of the check, I think fees like this need to be extremely clear and prominent before ordering, not something a customer discovers afterward. For me, it feels like an extra charge for simply using the establishment in exactly the way it was intended to be used. Overall: 4/5 The frustrating part is that without the service charge, this probably would have been a five-star review. Arbella gave us a genuinely great date night: beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, creative cocktails, and a space I otherwise would have happily recommended and returned to. Instead, that 5% fee left a sour final impression on what had been an excellent evening. It may seem small, but transparency around pricing matters to me. Arbella did so much right that I want to come back, but the service charge is significant enough that I would think twice before doing so.

I want to preface my review with the positives, Londyn was our server & was truly so kind, thorough, and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean & all tables have clear views of the TVs on game days. Now for the room for improvement- the food was very underwhelming. Being from the Chicago area previously, I regularly advocate for the Chicago food scene, and this unfortunately did not meet those standards. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower, wings, and sesame ginger salad: -Brussel sprouts: tasted like they weren't seasoned just air fried and drenched in balsamic dressing -Buffalo cauliflower: soggy, unseasoned, runny buffalo sauce -Wings: PERFECTLY CRISPY, but no flavor (we ordered lemon pepper & buffalo) -Sesame ginger salad: sloppy mix of vegetables tossed in an overly sweet sauce with no sesame or ginger flavor in sight If you're not going to eat, this is probably a great spot, but from a food standpoint, there is room for improvement.

Very complex flavors that's sweet, a little sour, creamy, and with a savory edge from the browning. We sat outside on a pleasant evening and it was a very nice patio. The wait staff were very attentive as well so no issues there. They went the extra mile of checking on food allergy issues for me multiple times. My main issue is that the appetizer - the halloumi - was the best dish. The brussels sprouts that came out were charred crisp on the outside and creamy on the insides - which is ideal - except that the flavor was very one-note. If you eat one, then every other one on the plate is pretty much just that again. The problem is that it lacked that feeling of "moreism" that you need if you're going to go with a very simple flavor profile. They tasted fine, but nothing about these made me want to just keep eating them. We also had the crispy mushrooms which likewise had a very similar issue of being one-note. This was notably better than the sprouts though because they came was a very tasty tzatziki sauce that saved the dish, but the sauce shouldn't be the star of a dish like this.

The menu items on this six-course Tiniest Goat experience were ANYTHING but tiny. The flavors were even BEYOND what we'd come to expect having eaten here previously and at Chef Izard's LA rooftop dining experience. The menu items were a fusion of Chicagoat, Asian, and California fresh! The braised goat with persimmons was an unexpected delight, as was every single course. We've had great goat empanadas here before. My husband lived in the DR before where he'd thought he had the best goat ever, but Chef Izard's team surpassed his high expectations. Chef Preston was personable and made the experience unlike we'd had before in the best possible ways. It was interactive. We got to experience firsthand what we saw last time only closer up, which was a team that works exceptionally well with each other AND truly loves what they do. They were also having fun and kind to one another. Well Done, BRAVO!

Very hip and trendy, with a great atmosphere and a two-story layout. The upstairs area looked like it would be perfect for larger groups or private gatherings. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the atmosphere. We were a party of six and arrived before the big dinner rush, so it wasn't particularly busy when we ordered. Our server was very quiet and not especially engaging. I was seated toward the end of the table, and rather than walking over to take my order or answer questions, she spoke to me from across the table. I personally enjoy being able to have a conversation with my server, especially when I have questions about gluten-free options, and it was awkward trying to communicate across five other people. Our food took approximately 35 minutes to arrive after ordering, which seemed excessive considering how quiet the restaurant was when we placed our order. Interestingly, the staff assisting with clearing tables and refilling water were much friendlier and more personable than our actual server. The GF Fried chicken was good, crispy but lacked flavor. I did not care for the GF waffles, and the syrup was underwhelming. Others enjoyed their meal, the fish and chips and short ribs were well liked. One thing worth mentioning: Yardbird automatically adds a 20% gratuity for parties of six. We all had separate checks, and when paying through the QR code, the payment system also prompted for an additional tip. If you're not paying attention, it would be easy to tip twice, so definitely double-check before submitting payment. The restaurant is on the pricier side, although the portions are generous. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and appreciated having gluten-free options, but the service and overall experience fell a little short of expectations. I'm glad we tried it, but I'm not sure it's somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.
