Came here for the much anticipated dinner menu. Overall, the food and service were good. We ordered the crudo and little gem salad for appetizers and turbot and taglietelle for entres. I will say, the gem salad was unexpectedly the star of the night. We usually order it just to add some freshness to what we would expect to be a rich meal, but this gem salad brought more to the table. It was charred, savory and yet still retained its freshness. The crudo was good, but nothing special. My spouse ordered the turbo and was very good. It comes with no sides so if you want a vegetable, it wil have to be ordered separately. I had the taglietelle and it was also very good. The reason I had to take stars off was because there was a metal/plastic (couldn't figure out what it was) spring/tie in my food. There was only 1 so I didn't send it back, but was still shocked to pull it out of my mouth! Also be careful where you sit. There is a very reflective building at the end of the block and if you face it during sunset, you will be blinded. All in all, good restaurant, definitely worth trying out and probably a staple if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Grabbed some brunch today and brought it back home. Everything was super. Great ingredients thoughtfully put together. Ordering and pick up was easy and smiling people at the entrance. I had the breakfast burrito with sausage and a Tuscan Kale bean soup. My wife got the smoked lamb gyro along with an amazing fresh fruit salad. Definitely coming back. read more

Eden has become one of the few Chicago restaurants that I return to often. The revolving menu is inventive and accessible, food is outstanding, service is informative & attentive & the lighting & noice levels in the restaurant are enjoyable. So few restaurants these days encourage their guests to relax & have conversation with their table mates. During the summer, the outside seating is lovely- no trucks barreling by or busy sidewalks with people gawking at you. A huge bonus is a very large free parking lot across the street. I hate to share this review as it may mean I won't get a reservation there but the restaurant deserves it, as does the manager Mark. read more

Loud. Quiche was good. Better than the breakfast burrito. I'd return but it wasn't my fav. Parking across street in lot. read more

Have eaten 3 meals here now and they have all been excellent. Bar tenders handle their business too. It's very cute and they have private rooms for parties. read more

Great food, great ambience, great service. It was not actually 'Eden', but it was pretty close :)

Have come here several times and enjoy the food immensely! Great noise control too. Slower paced dining experience that encourages patrons to sit back, relax and slow down.. read more

When we first arrived at Eden it was on the early side of the dinner hour, so it was a touch on the quiet side. By the time we left it was actually quite loud, even with the very high ceilings at Eden. The space is really well decorated and fits the aesthetic I'd expect for their cuisine. We found ourselves right in the middle attire wise, it's 'nice' without feeling stuffy and you could be comfortable going slightly more casual if you chose. Food wise, the menu was extensive without feeling overwhelming, so you have choices but can easily narrow down your focus based on meat or vegetable desires. My steak was cooked perfectly and was amazing, while the seafood chowder was also fantastic. The house bread and butter was incredible as well. I would definitely recommend Eden for other guests! read more

Absolutely fantastic meal. Party of 8 ranging in age from 26 to 89. All food items were delicious. Cane's service was attentive yet patient. Private room made our birthday celebration amazing. We'll be back for sure. read more

Had dinner here this past weekend and everything was perfect from start to finish! We sat at the chef's table and was greeted by Bill, who very charismatic and energetic. He walked us through the menu and was very attentive. Even though the chef's counter menu sounded tempting, we ended up getting a few different dishes instead. We ordered the bread, asparagus, ahi tuna crudo, baby beets salad, pork tagliatelle, and the ricotta herbed gnocchi. The presentation of the food was spot on and the taste was equally pleasing. While we were waiting for our Uber we decided to take a look at the green house from the outside and chef Quinn came out and invited us in to see all the herbs and vegetables that they grow. He told us that him and his father had planted the garden themselves. Absolutely love that the have an onsite urban garden and the concept of their clean & fresh cooking. It was also mentioned that they have bottomless mimosas for brunch so we'll have to be back for that. Overall, we had an amazing dining experience! read more

We had a beautiful night and dinner was delicious, great company, loved it. The pasta dish was my favorite. Tamale was a close second. The other 4 dishes were good but not as memorable as the pasta and tamale. Will go again. read more

Food so delicious it should be forbidden Went to @edeninchicago for Mother's Day brunch and the first thing we noticed was that it was such a beautiful restaurant! The patio outside was huge and the best part is that you can bring your pups with you, and they even have patio pup treats! We ordered the trifecta of baked goods, which were a cherry scone, monkey bread, and vanilla donut! All three = perfection! We ordered coffee there as well and got many refills I think we each had 4 cups of coffee the meals that were ordered were the Wild mushroom omelette, steak and eggs, and sweet potato hash! All the food was amazing quality, and look vote beautiful they decorate the food! The service was immaculate! Honestly they were so great, each time I took a sip of water someone was there to refill right away. The service was so outstanding I was shocked! The ambiance is dressy and romantic which is a perfect date spot or somewhere to take the family we will be coming back with our puppy! read more

Highly suggest this hidden gem! This is my second time going to Eden and both experiences have been 5 stars across the board. The staff is very welcoming, and service us excellent. I love that they grow or locally outsource ingredients to make all of their delicious food! The atmosphere is contemporary, yet approachable.

Beautiful fresh salads and abundant use of fresh herbs made our meal really special, healthy, and delicious. This is a beautiful restaurant with easy parking. Try the soups. I have the white bean soup and it was great. Also, order their house-made sourdough bread. read more

Love the food and ambience. All the staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is full of flavors and so fresh, the Eden salad is a favorite. read more

My family has been there several times and the experience is great. Every time our friends visit Chicago, this would be our first recommended restaurant. read more

Best turkey sandwich ever. Great service and beautiful space. Everything on the menu is amazing.

5 stars for service! The host, the waitress, the servers, and the manager checked on us to make sure my friend and I were doing well! I felt like we were seen and take care of. They were so nice and polite. They would even have a conversation with us! The restaurant is spacious and the decor is modern, clean, and chic. The ambience was more on the romantic side so it would be a good place to have a date night! The bar area is pretty with the hanging lamps. The place had dim lighting in the evening and the noise level was medium, but can get a little loud when it's full. We ordered the housemade daily bread and it was so good. It's served warm and it had some seeds in it. The pumpkin seed spread was so good. The farro risotto was tasty and it had a buttery and creamy taste with veggies. Wood fired hangar steak was so tender and chewy. The sauces were so yummy. The dessert had so much flavor in each bite. My favorite was the banana macadamia nut tart. The citrus meringue bite was alright. The dark chocolate pot de creme was not sweet at all, but the texture was good. read more

Went to the new location! There is a great patio space if you're able to get there while the weather is still nice but the inside is beautiful as well! Great variety on the menu so my group decided to order several dishes and share. The appetizers took a long time to come out so service started a little slow. Our waitress apologized but not sure what the hold up was. The cocktails we ordered were so unique and lots of flavor! This is a great spot if you want to try a variety of dishes with fresh, local meat and produce. Favorite was the beet salad!! read more

I was visiting Chicago during market days and had some friends recommend this place. So... we made some reservations for the last seating of the night. Such a great experience. We happened to be there on half price wine night and our server and the manager Mark really helped out with suggestions for food wine and dessert. Everyone on the team was incredible. From host to servers to management. This review is more about how amazing the staff was. The food was incredible and fresh and I love the fact that it's a rotating menu. There was passion. Very much appreciated. Give this place a try. Thanks for a great evening. read more

A bit pricey for the area and amount of food received, but at least it's delicious. Space is super cute and I love the two private room options. Staff is friendly, drinks are enjoyable. read more

I like what they're trying to do but the dishes lack the taste and it's extremely overpriced.

We got the Valentine's Day menu and let me say that it was phenomenal. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and everything was just excellent. Eden is truly a gem in Avondale/Logan Square! read more

Eden - Valentine's Day Special (steak, vegetables, sides: creamed spinach, pomme purre, onions) - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Still amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner today and so so happy Eden is open again. We enjoyed the steak, home made bread, root vegetable pave, and pork tagliatelle. Oh and the delish chocolate cake. The flavors are so complex, multiple note, fresh and combines different textures.. it is truly a joy. Did I mention I'm so happy they are open again? And it is super kid friendly.. our little one enjoyed running outside and playing on the couch inside.. and eating the food! read more

I came here to celebrate my cousin's baby sprinkle and everything was so so amazing. My favorites were definitely the veggie sandwich and the cashew sesame salad. I wish there was a little more sauce in the sandwich but overall the food and the restaurant itself was so great. read more

My wife and I just finished Eden's Valentine's Day Tasting Menu and it was so good I was compelled to write this review before we even cleaned up! This was the best food we've had in recent memory. Every item, from the bread and butter, to the garden herbs, was precisely prepared and labeled with care. Everything was incredibly fresh and packed with bright bold, flavors. And to boot, this was significantly more affordable than other Valentine's Day tasting menus we considered despite using premium ingredients like short rib and lobster! We had: - Roasted baby beets with pomegranate, blood orange, avocado, peppery greens and puffed grains (a bright, refreshing start to the meal) - Bread with olive oil and some of the best butter ever - Lobster agnolotti with pancetta, tomato, lemon and garden herbs (the agnolotti were pleasantly moist despite this being takeout) - Braised short rib with polenta, wild mushroom and preserved lemon gremolata (the gremolata was a flavor explosion and worked well with the deep flavor of the short rib) - Chocolate Torte with passionfruit, citrus and basil (the torte is dense and rich and the passionfruit really helps cut the richness and the basil works!) We'll be back to try their own takeout options and hopefully dine in person when this pandemic is over. Amazing job, we loved it! read more

Went here for an early dinner a few months ago, we were the first customers of the evening. The service was way too attentive, especially since we were the only ones in the restaurant. I felt rushed, our server was literally standing over my shoulder, it was creepy. The house made bread came with an herb butter that was really good, just wish that there was more of it. Tried the Umami Donuts as this is one of their signature dishes, but I was not impressed with them. In fact, I found that they were pretty tasteless., even with the sauce, of which there was definitely not enough. I thought that the lamb and beef meatballs were excellent and I absolutely loved the grilled baby octopus. The seafood stew was good, but there was very little of it, and it was too thin for my taste. For dessert we had the Strawberry Shortcake which was very unique and flavorful. The walls are white washed with exposed bricks and it looks like this was a converted Factory. The tables were also more industrial, made out of stainless steel. read more

Great meal with another couple. Loved Eden. Ambiance is great, not at all stuffy, kind of an industrial meets forest sort of vibe. Food was good to great. We probably over ordered a bit. Breads (great), lamb meatballs, burrata (came with the most excellent eggplant, and although I am not an eggplant lover, this is a must have), roasted beets (the only miss for me--it had a seasoning I didn't care for, reminiscent of Indian food somehow), crab bucatini, half chicken, salmon, a whole fish of some sort (delicious, but a bit pricey), sides of cucumbers, and beans & potatoes, with a great dessert of banana brownie (our server let us know it had coconut in case we were adverse-- we weren't!). Again, we would happily return read more

Chef Devon is a genius. The food is next level and the staff is super helpful. If you go for breakfast try the scone!!! If you go for lunch you have to get the chicken sandwich!! read more

WICKED GARDEN Though the dishes weren't absolute paradise, this upscale restaurant on the Near West Side has some great things going for them. In searching for a place during Valentine's week, I came across Eden. A simple enough name for a business with excellent street cred, helmed by Jodi Fyfe & chef Devon Quinn. It's great to see another husband/wife culinary duo, just like Beverly Kim & Johnny Clark of Avondale's Parachute! After making a reservation through OpenTable, my girl and I were seated shortly after we arrived at 7:30pm on Friday 2/16/18. The ambiance inside Eden is positively charming, very chic. A brief word on how sustainable these guys are: They've got an on-premises greenhouse where they cultivate their own produce; the staff takes a lot of pride in making virtually everything fresh by themselves. You can see what's currently being grown on their website: https://edeninchicago.com/welcome/ Our waiter introduced himself and we promptly ordered a pair of craft cocktails: the "elevenses" for me (gin infused w/earl grey tea, egg white) and the "fernetflix & chill" for her (rum, fernet, vanilla). Each were $14 and had some lovely nuances. Later on I got their signature "Eden" cocktail which was fashioned with pimm's, cynar (a bitter liquor), ginger beer, and mint. It too was $14 and CRAZY strong, though I think the flavor of the cynar was too harsh for my liking. There's no complimentary fancy crackers here (or any sort of starter), and that hurts them......especially when places like Sepia and the shuttered GreenRiver had terrific free bread service. Eden's homemade artisanal bread ($5) comes with olive oil + cultured butter they make themselves. As for our dinner........ + umami doughnuts ($8). Essentially savory beignets, they were a quartet of delicious morsels filled with pork confit and black cherry. Served alongside warm raclette (a.k.a. melted cheese), they were the standout item amid an otherwise humdrum meal. [ 5 / 5 ] + brussel sprouts ($10). They were lightly charred and dressed with a delicate apple cider vinaigrette, topped with julienned green apple and slivered almonds. We both enjoyed the intermingled textures, temperatures, and flavors. [ 4 / 5 ] + ahi tuna crudo ($19). This was Nichole C's choice and while I got a chance to sample a bit, I was far more impressed with the presentation than the taste. It came with cashew milk and charred avocado. A smoked grape pureé added vibrant dots of purple color to the plating. [ 4 / 5 ] + smoked bone marrow ($24). A formidable pair of beef bones were accompanied by radish and assorted tart fruits. I liked the freshly picked dill that came with this one, but for flavor and value, I found the bone marrow at Dusek's to be far better. [ 4 / 5 ] + chestnut tortellini ($19). Perhaps I mis-steered my girlfriend headfirst into this one, but neither of us found it noteworthy. A fairly simple pasta dish with buckwheat, lentils, and dried celery root. If this dish were a color, it would have been beige. [ 2 / 5 ] + crispy chicken ballotine ($28). My entreé wasn't much better than hers, as I found the gnocchi-stuffed chicken thigh to be underwhelming. The eggplant and horseradish got lost in the dish and I couldn't detect them. However, I did appreciate the use of black garlic. [ 3 / 5 ] Dessert is arguably the most important part of the meal (after all, it's the last thing you eat before leaving). I have to say, I expected a LOT more from pastry chef Stefano Tulipano than the chocolate-centric menu we were presented. Our choices were chocolate cake, ice cream, donuts (again??), and seasonal sorbet. No custard or high-end meringue, nothing adventurous like the stuff at The Aviary or The Purple Pig, though from the looks of things the dessert menu isn't normally this monochromatic. We got the black chocolate ($12) which was a tasty, if unimaginative, cake roll similar to a Hostess ho-ho. The charcoal gelato that came with it was great, and the custom sauce painting -- my special request -- was a nice touch. [ 4 / 5 ] Bread = 4 Circuses = 4.5 * TL;DR * Truthfully, I enjoyed Eden. Great service, delightful atmosphere, food fell somewhat short of the mark. Craft cocktails were similar to those I had at The Violet Hour (Wicker Park) in both cost and composition. Food wise, I had a better experience at 'B' Restaurant (Oak Brook) with their hive-to-plate initiatives. I agree with Chicago Tribune food critic Phil Vettel's assessment of this place: it's a very good restaurant, the dishes more evolutionary than revolutionary. Sadly, we visited on a day when the choices on the dessert menu outright sucked (they've got a green tea panna cotta now, WTF). When all's said and done, I would nevertheless recommend Eden to friends/family/coworkers. It's partially my fault for having sky high expectations, and partially just bad timing with regards to the menu. Perhaps I'll see my luck improve on a future visit :) read more

We finally tried Eden and it did not disappoint!! They were able to squeeze us in on a Saturday night along with our toddler. The service was great. Drinks were all unique and really good. Espresso martini was delicious. We tried the carrots and sweet potatoes. Both so unique and so so good. They had a special hamachi collar that was just okay- it didn't have enough sauce/flavor on it. The tartar was a must- so good. And the star of the show was definitely the gnocchi dish. Omg it was perfection. And last but not least the banana brownie was the perfect end to the dinner. Definitely a must try spot. And for being such a nice spot for dinner they were so welcoming with a toddler and had a great kids menu. She certainly loved her pasta dish too. We will be back! read more

This place May be my new favorite restaurant in Chicago. The food here is exquisite- we got the burrata ( to die for) the ricotta gnochi to share. The flavors were surprising and delicious and the presentation was amazing too. I also got the hamachi collar as a maina never had hamachi taste like this though it was a bit Messy to eat. Out for patio seating and friendly staff- definitely coming back! read more

Love, love, love. From the lovely mural painted outside, to their herb and produce garden in the parking lot (grow house); from their pristine interior dining area to their grand open kitchen, Eden is flawless. It's an urban paradise. Located on W Lake Street, it's slightly further out from the Loop so street parking was easy to find on a Sunday morning. I came here with 3 other friends and we sat at a square table with a full brunch spread. I had a Bloody Mary (served in a mason jar with a celery stalk garnish) and the Burger of Eden that came with plenty of fries to share. I sipped on my friend's peach bellini and also eyed the frosés in tall stem glasses that the servers brought to other tables. Their brunch-wich of the day was a deep-fried Monte Cristo sandwich. It came with a house-made fruit jam and the dish was a blend of sweet and savory. It was verrry rich and satisfying and we had a huge leftover portion to take home with us. When you walk in the ambiance was bright, clean, with neutral gray, black, and white, with splashes of the green (succulents at every table as the centerpiece) and warm wood tones. Dining here was such a great experience. No detail (food, drinks, decor) went overlooked. Before we left, we strolled through the grow house, wandering and admiring the herbs and produce used in our dishes: urban farm to table. Eden offers innovative and delicious New American fare. I'd love to come back again soon! read more

Milk Bread is a must order! Came for restaurant week and the food was delicious. The space is very cute and the service was great as well.

Tried out Eden for restaurant week and left very disappointed and a little confused. We had reservations and were seated right away but after ~10 minutes of sitting at our table nobody approached us to take our drink order or let us know a server was coming. Eventually the hostess realized, came over and apologized, and we ordered drinks. They ended up being out of one of the drinks we wanted which was a bummer. Weird start to the evening. The food was alright; I had the 3-course offering and got the brussel sprouts, bass, and brownie. The sprouts were good, but the bass was subpar. Not served very warm and the roasted squash was gummy. But the brownie was really the strange part of the meal in my opinion. Personal preference, but there was a lot going on and little payoff, as well as similar issues with the texture and heat. The best part of the meal was the Japanese milk bread - definitely recommend. The service was consistently slow throughout the meal and we ended up being there for 2+ hours and well past closing time (not by our own conviction). Overall, I was disappointed because I can see here how well Eden does and how much people adore it, so I'm a bit bummed my experience was not like that. read more

Beautiful place with an outdoors space. Lovely lunch choices and best burger in town.

Came for Valentine's Day and ordered the prix fixe menu with drink pairings. Everything was just OK. We weren't blown away by anything and for $400 for 2 people, it was disappointing. Starter, Sunchoke & Truffle Pearls - the presentation looked better than the taste and it was a very small portion. First course, Citrus & Chicories Salad - the first few bites were tart and overpowering. It got better towards the end but average at best. Second course, Lobster Agnolotti - this was the best course of the night but there were only 3 very small pieces of lobster so that was a bit disappointing Third course, Ribeye - the Ribeye was good, not great. The potato purée and creamed spinach were excellent. Dessert - I did not like either dessert option. Drink pairings - all were great except for the dessert wine. The service was excellent outside of a manger running our card incorrectly. He said the charge will take a few days to reverse, not a big deal but added to the overall experience. Eden has been on my list of restaurants to try for a few years now and although I'm grateful for the experience, I don't think I will be coming back. read more
