    poutine
    Katie P.

    D4 was just what we needed on a cold blizzardy night! The space is beautiful and our server was so kind and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and give us suggestions. We started with the poutine which was enough for our group of 6. It was delicious, so flavorful and lots of gravy! I had the shepherds pie and it was also very very good. I enjoyed a hugo spritz with my meal with was also very yummy. Great experience, we would all 100% eat here again!

    Amazingly delicious, love a good Irish pub feel with a pint of guinness to throw back with some great food. I wish I didn't have to share the poutine it was so good. The D4 burger was cooked perfectly, and the pretzel bun it was served on was the best I've ever had. Our server gave great recommendations and was always there to help! It was so cozy in the little area we were sat in.

    I've lived in the Streeterville area for almost 6 years and this was my first visit to this gem? It was epic! Met my friends here. Juliana was our server. She was friendly, attentive and on point! It was a special occasion and she brought it. We all ordered the fish and chips. They are famous for it, as I'm told. I can see why. Huge cod filets in perfect batter. Crispy exterior and moist fresh & tender filet of cod on inside. Fries were more than perfect. Coleslaw was good but cut back on the carrots. Also, not crazy about their version of tartar sauce. Luckily, the fish needed no tartar sauce. I'm not a fried food person, but I would make an exception for D4 again and again. Thank you for a great meal and extremely amazing service from Juliana. I will ask for her table every time.

    Curry Chips

    Overall this place is good! Great service and pretty clean. I'm not sure about parking as I walked here. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. They have great drink options that mix beers and liquor or mix ciders with liquor. Love when places offer that on the menu! The Brussel sprouts were good but could've been a little crispier. The fries/curry chips we got were loaded fries and had coconut curry, cilantro, sour cream etc. they could've been really good but they lacked toppings. But I liked the idea of coconut and curry together on fries. Overall I would still come back!!

    Had brunch here this morning with my friends, and when we walked in the place was empty. I was a little bit nervous, knowing that this is Chicago and there were not many people in the restaurant. By the time we left, the restaurant was packed and I can see why. I had the huevos rancheros and oh my God they were so good. The eggs were cooked perfectly and I save every bite I had until my meal was complete. When I was finished, I wish I had more. If you get the fish and chips, it is a huge portion so you could easily split it with two people. It was crispy in outside with flaky inside. Definitely too must have for brunch. We made reservations, so it was nice to have. In the summer I can see this place being packed and their bar seemed to be a popular spot as we walked out after brunch.

    Lunch special
    Samantha R.

    D4 was such a gem not far from the river and we were pleasantly surprised that there was a lunch special! For $14 we all good half a sandwich and our choice of soup, fries or a salad. I chose the Caesar salad and Turkey BLT which were both spectacular. I loved the sourdough bread that came with the sandwich. My friends got the soup of the day (potato and bacon) and another got the French onion soup. Both were great!

    Well this was a pleasant surprise! March '25 - after walking through some sleet and snow I entered D4 and grabbed a spot at the bar. I was immediately greeted by Marco and poured a nice drink. Within minutes, I was served some incredible chicken noodle soup! You can tell this was homemade - it absolutely hit the spot on a chilly night. After some pleasant conversation I opted to take a sandwich back to my hotel. Marco advised me to swap the bun for a pretzel roll. Boy am I glad he did! The sandwich was excellent - my apologies for not sharing a photo. Overall I found this to be a very comfortable spot with high quality food and service.

    Perfect pint
    James Q.

    This place is the perfect upscale Irish bar. I came for happy hour and the menu is very reasonable. They really know what they're doing with a pint of Guinness. I got the chips and salsa which were a little spicy to my untrained palate.

    Rodeo Burger
    Amelia B.

    Overall great dining experience at D4! The chicken tenders are to die for. Brussels sprouts didn't miss either. Waiters were very attentive and service was quick to get out food and drink orders. Recommend a bit more seasoning on the fries. Other than that, you'll see me back soon!! Great spot for a casual drink or bite to eat. They also accommodate larger parties. Very cozy feel in the winter with an indoor fireplace and bookshelves with books! Also doesn't hurt that they have a few games streaming around the place!

    Stopped in here for a lunch meeting with a partner during a recent work trip. The place was very cute and one of the rooms was set like a library with book shelves filled with books along the walls. I felt myself staring off at the to read all the titles a few times. There was a fireplace next to our table too which was perfect for the 32 degree rainy weather. Our server was great and attentive. The meals were delicious too. I do wish they had a couple more lunch options, they do have some soup and sandwich items (which one of my friends got and said was great) but I wanted one of the other sandwiches that wasn't on that menu. The sandwich I wound up getting was great but so big I only ate half. Overall it was a great option and we'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

We stopped in on a Friday midafternoon (May 2026), and found a moderate crowd, good food, and good service. For starters, we had perfect calamari. Crunchy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. It went well with the medium-spicy salsa they provided. This is already a win with any cold beer and any game on their many tvs! We would definitely it get again! We had their shepherd's pie: really flavorful Guinness Irish beef stew under a deliciously creamy layer of parmesan mashed potatoes, nicely crunchy on the outside with a lightly toasted top, and Irish soda bread. Delicious and satisfying! We loved the pastrami reuben sandwich, and we're not even big fans of sauerkraut in a sandwich. But in O'Toole's version, everything came together in a perfect union - the pastrami, the thousand-island dressing, the sauerkraut, and the griddled marble rye. We deliberately left off the Swiss cheese, and maybe that's the trick (for us) to balance the sauerkraut? Well, it worked nicely this way. We were still there towards the end of their weekday 3-6pm happy hour, so we got the $9 Chicago Handshake! A shot of Mälort & an OldStyle chaser! "Mälort-face" free of charge!

What made it worse was that she immediately brought a group over to take our table, and even they were apologizing to us because they seemed uncomfortable with how it was handled.

The clientele is a balance of tourists visiting Millennium Park, businessmen grabbing lunch or taking a client out to dinner and/or weekenders hanging downtown looking for a nice meal out in a contemporary setting.

One to-go specific note, the jalapeños came pretty solidified in butter, which isn't great unless you can heat them up right away. Probably a non-issue dining in, but worth knowing if you're ordering out. Good food and smooth pickup experience overall, just go in knowing the prices are on the higher end.

I kept it simple with a salad topped with carrots and chicken, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. One of my colleagues ordered a chicken sandwich, and another got what might have been the most massive fish tender I've ever seen. If I ate fish, I definitely would've tried it, and she said it was really good. Unfortunately, what really impacted our experience was the atmosphere. There was a choir conference happening nearby, and a large group of attendees came into the pub and started singing, loudly and continuously, throughout the evening. While it was entertaining for the first couple of songs, it quickly became overwhelming and disruptive. It didn't seem like other patrons were enjoying it either, there was little to no engagement or applause, and I found myself wishing the staff had stepped in to tone things down a bit. I understand that a bar environment can bring in all kinds of energy, but this went on far too long and really took away from the experience we were hoping to have. Based on the food alone, I'd give Miller's Pub 3 out of 5 stars. But factoring in the overall experience, it's closer to a 2.5 out of 5 for me.

    We were looking for a casual spot for a late lunch and decided to check out Fado. Fado turned out…read moreto be more of a bar/pub than a bar/restaurant, but Fado delivered great food and drinks. Everyone left happy! We had fish and chips, a salmon bowl, and a raspberry cocktail and a couple of local tap beers. Service was laid back but professional and prompt. The bar and dining area are pretty much one in the same but that was no problem. The fish and chips were not greasy and portions were big, and the salmon was nicely done. Tasty and not over or under cooked. As Goldilocks would say, "Just right!" Like I said this seems more like a pub than a restaurant, but that fits the bill if you want a laid-back, low-key, lunch or dinner. I'd happily return to Fado when in the area!

The manager even summoned us back in from the rain when we were ready to leave and welcomed us to sit back down until the downpour passed. The food was absolutely amazing! The shepherds pie was honestly the best I've ever had with its rich, thick meat filling and hearty mashed potatoes. My husband and our friends each ordered the fish and chips and finished their plates. My very favorite bite though was the smoked salmon appetizers. I will dream about those perfect little wonders for a long time!
