    I really love figo wine bar. I love this area around the Belmont stop but figo stands out as really the only elevated atmosphere on this block. I like that it feels nice and special but also chill and neighborly. I've been once just for wine, and we saw how great the food looked so had to come back a second time to try it! It's a great place to share dishes, and there's a nice variety of tapas options. My friend is gluten free, and they have a dietary menu with their gf selections and were very accommodating. My favorite part was the brussels sprouts! The fries were also really delicious. The dates in a white sauce that I had never seen with dates before, but they were quite good. And I liked that the pork belly was served with corn which made it really unique! Will definitely be back here!

    Figo Wine Bar is an easy walk from City Suites and we had high hopes. We were pretty disappointed. To be sure, it's a very cute space. We were seated quickly and enjoyed the ambience. Our waiter was helpful and we appreciated his service, but more on this in a bit. We started with a focaccia-type bread with olive oil dipping sauce. It is offered as a gratis starter and was tasty. We then started with our tapas. We thought the Bistro Fries with Truffle Aioli, Parmesan and Chives would be a yummy start. They weren't. The fries were thick, which would be okay except they lacked flavor. This is the only offering we did not finish. Next came the Octopus w/ Pipian Sauce, Red Cabbage Escabeche & Crunchy Spiced Chickpeas. I enjoy an octopus dish and this was tasty. We then had Meatballs - Beef Meatballs, Marinara, Parmesan and Shrimp & Clams - Pinot Grigio and Butter Sauce, Urfa Pepper, Basil. There was nothing exceptional about the meatballs. The shrimp and clams were pretty good. The Pork Belly - Leek Cream, Corn Succotash, Veal Demi Glaze was delicious as were the Dates - Stuffed with Gorgonzola, Wrapped in Speck, Gorgonzola Sauce & Chives. While we were there our waiter was being reprimanded by the manger well within earshot. Something about a patron from the day before complaining about who knows what. Bottom line, we should not have been hearing this conversation, but it was occurring right behind our table. We had a Yelp discount that was not reflected on the bill. We mentioned it and our server corrected it immediately. Based on the overheard conversation, I was worried about our server. He did a great job and we tipped him very well. Anyway, the dishes were between delicious and okay, with one being unenjoyable. Discussions about work should be handled away from patrons' ears. We find ourselves in Chicago at City Suites pretty often. We might actually try Figo Wine Bar again, thinking it may have been an off night. If we do, I'll let you know.

    martini - extra dirty w/ blue cheese olives

    Went to a show at The Vic last night with a couple of friends and going to Figo was almost a no-brainer. It's less than a block away from the venue, and I've gone past it so many times over the years, I finally had a great excuse to stop in. We were able to walk in and get a spot for three at the bar (there were no reservations at the time we needed, I think other folks had the same idea as I LOL) and while you kind of have to flag the staff to take care of you, once you do they're super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, particularly as it related to prep time and taking the show's start time under consideration. All three of us ordered a couple rounds of dirty martinis with the blue cheese olives and it was easily one of the best martinis I've had in the city. I wasn't expecting that at all at a wine bar, so that was a pleasant surprise! We also ordered a ton of apps/tapas to share and a couple of pastas. We had planned to order the branzino as well, but were wisely advised against it, just due to how long it would take to come from the kitchen before showtime. So we ordered the bistro fries, octopus, arancini, tagliatelle bolognese, porcini risotto, and we were served bread with olive oil as well. It was all excellent and I can only recommend all of it! Very full-bodied flavors and not too heavy. Inside is SO cute and perfect for a date or intimate gathering with friends. Or of course, before a show at the Vic. For what it's worth it would also be the perfect pre-Trader Todd's plate cleanser!! ;)

    Let me start by saying that the vibes at here are everything! Couple that with their extensive wine selection and you have the recipe for a delightful visit. Perfect for a date night or girls night out, this spot has a good selection of pastas, Italian tapas and entrees. They have wine flights/flights on Tuesday and Wednesday (4 wines) and their happy hour includes great deals like $10 cocktails and $25 charcuterie boards. Here's what I tried: Rhône blend Port - Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Whiskey Sour Shrimp & clams Bistro fries Bruschetta Gnocchi It was my first time trying the Rhône blend - a red, robust wine that is easily now one of my favorites! The Italian style tapas give you the chance to try a few different things, which I love and the entrees are huge - perfect for sharing. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit to the Lakeview area and when you go, tell em Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

    Cozy, beautiful and delightful! Everything about FIGO surpassed my wine bar expectations. I was here with a group of 7 and we absolutely loved our experience here. We were greeted with friendly smiles as soon as we walked in and were seated within minutes. Originally our reservations was for 5, however, we had 2 additional people and the staff accommodated us without any issues. They even offered the private space, since we were celebrating a bach party, but we opted to stay in the main area. Service throughout was exceptional. They also brought out complimentary champagne and cheesecake to keep the party going. OMG the wine selection and food menu?!?! STOPPPPPPPPPPPP. I went for the Merlot/Cab blend and it was smooth and delicious. Not as bold as I'm used too and I'm OK with that! It was sooooooo good! They also have cocktails, mocktails, spirits and beers. For food we ordered arancini, truffle fries and created our own meat and cheese board. Everything was fresh and divine. 4 apps + the meat and cheese board was the perfect amount for our group of 7. We left satisfied and not overly full. This is the ideal spot for a girls night out or date night. I really enjoyed my time here and can't wait to come back. =)

    I went there for Restaurant Week and while I am not sure if that is an accurate representation for the restaurant, it didn't really make me want to come back. The food was fine, but the service was severely lacking. We were a bigger group that appears to have been their first customers on a Sunday. We had a reservation so they knew we were coming. We wanted to order bottles of wine, but every single one we requested was out. It got to the point that our leader asked for recommendations. The server was nice enough and offered to bring her a taste. She picked one out and that was fine. My other friend ordered a whisky and they were out of that. What is going on? We didn't order until 40 minutes after we sat down for some reason. Again, we were the ONLY people in the entire restaurant at that point. Their restaurant week menu had 4 courses, but they called an "audible" and allowed a three course for $15 less. Me, wanting the whole experience, just did the 4 course. About half the group did the 3 course which just chopped off the dessert. I will describe the food below, but we all ordered. Halfway through, they announced that they only had two duck dishes left. Again, we are the only group in here meaning that we took one of the entries for the eventing just for our table. There was also lots of confusion on who got what. 1st course: This was grilled veggies, soup, or salad. This came out 20 minutes after we ordered. There was a second table seated by the time our food came out. Actually, not all the food came out as I ended up waiting for my soup a full 10 minutes after everybody else. Again, no other table had food, but they forgot my soup? As for the soup, it was pretty good, but I had to eat it fast to catch up with everybody else. 2nd Course: This was the pasta course. Again, server had no clue who was supposed to get what and I ended up getting every single pasta dish offered to me except for my gnocchi. Ended up getting it quick enough, but myself and my table mates commented how much pesto was on it. Like it was pesto soup with dumplings. The Bolognaise others got looked and smelled excellent. The risotto was pretty lackluster based on what my friend mentioned. 3rd course: Those all came out at weird times including everybody who ordered the scallops first, followed by the duck, followed by my beef. The scallops smelled EXTREMELY fishy and my friends commented how salty the clam chowder was. The duck looked good (for the two people that got it) and my beef was excellent so thats a plus 4th course: This is the dessert that half of us got. Some got the tiramisu which actually looked good. Nice and light. I got the chocolate mousse which was a bit goopy and full of a weird jam. Not worth the extra $15 IMO. We, of course, wanted another bottle of the same wine, but we bought the last one so we had to go through the weird tasting once again. How can you say you are a wine bar and be out of so much alcohol? In all, this meal took 2.5 hours! Thats really long for a four course meal. Restaurant Week is supposed to be a place and time to test out new places across Chicago and while I am glad to try this place, I was unimpressed. There are a bunch of places like this in Chicago and they have wine and not be so disorganized in the service. It was fun company, but this will likely be a pass from me moving forward!

    Amazing spot all around and I've been here a good handful of times over the last few years. I dined here most recently with friends and we love that the plates are all small so you can try a whole bunch of things and share. Here's a run down of the food: We had the arancini (wasn't my fave, a bit dry), beef carpaccio (so good), dates (100% amazing definitely order these, best thing we ate), Brussels sprouts (so good), fries (not my fave). It's fun to mix it up and try a bunch of different things. In the past I've ordered pastas here and always love those as well. Our service on this particular night was sloooooow which is why I knocked a star off, we had to flag down our waiter whenever we needed anything and it would take a long time to get his attention. Also by the time we left it was pretty packed and so loud it was hard to hear our table's conversation. The place is small and a bit of a puzzle to get around. Overall, an underrated spot and one I plan to come back to again and again. Great for girls night, family in town, or a date. Definitely recommend!

    Cute little neighborhood spot! The service was great. Our waitress knew our group was having a "catch up" dinner and gave us space which we appreciated. She did a great job giving us a break down about the wine as well. The Ena Rosso was very easy to drink and on the lighter side. The Valpolicella was a bit closer to what a Cabernet would taste like. The Enna Rosso was our favorite! They both were very different wines for sure. Food: - Arancini: so so yummy! If you love truffle, you have to get this because the sauce for the balls are just so stinking delicious - Meat&Cheese board: normally I go for the meats but the meat just didn't hit right. I don't think it has anything to do with the freshness but maybe the supplier? Idk, something just didn't make me want to keep grabbing for more! The cheeses were all delicious - Burrata: love a red pepper and goat cheese combo - Pear Salad: this was on the larger portion side. It was a good salad with an appropriate amount of dressing for me (I like a little bit more dressing) - Gnocchi and Tagliatelle were our favorites. Both were so fresh and had the right amount of sauce to pasta ratio to soak up all the goodness. Overall: this amount of food was enough for 5 of us girls and we had a great night.

I opted for the shakshuka focaccia and the baklava, both of which came highly recommended. Unfortunately, the focaccia came out slightly burned and the soft-boiled egg in the center was definitely hard boiled and dry. I wished there was a bit more flavor with the spices and sauce as well, but the bread itself was fluffy. The baklava, however, was buttery perfection and among the best I've ever had. It's also possibly the sweetest dessert I've ever tasted, so a little goes a long way. Definitely glad to have gotten to give this spot a try- the food menu looked really interesting, so I would return to give it a try.

    Chicago Restaurant week. I reviewed various dining options in search of a good place for dinner…read more Reddit gave me some ideas. I'd never been to Willow Room and liked that they had a four course dinner menu, with items I liked. I was able to make a reservation for a Saturday night at 8:15pm. PARKING Parking on Halsted on a Saturday night can be a nightmare, and it did take a minute to find street parking. North of the 1800 block is busier because there are several restaurants within a two block radius. Side streets are permit parking after 6pm. Meters on Halsted are $2.50/hr. ATMOSPHERE Willow Room was pretty packed. We had a reservation for 8:15pm and my party of two was seated right away. The restaurant features a full bar, dim lighting and is nice and roomy. They have banquette seating around the perimeter, in addition to tables in the middle. SERVICE Our server, who was very nice and accommodating during our dining experience, came by and gave us our menu's. I had already decided on the RW menu and after review, my friend was interested in the Beef Wellington (not on RW menu). Our server informed us that normally the whole table had to order off of the RW menu if one person does, but said she would check with the kitchen since this was the last day of RW. Luckily, we were able to proceed with ordering from different menu's. FOOD I ordered a raspberry Cosmopolitan. I'm a Riesling/Moscato girlie, but I tasted the Riesling and didn't like it. RW dinner was priced at $60. I ordered: First Course: Caesar Salad (Typical salad, was good) Second Course: Mussels (Tasted fine, came with a baguette) Third Course: Short Rib (Could've been slightly more tender and better seasoned. I've definitely had better. Wouldn't order again.) Fourth Course: Orange Ricotta Donuts (Donuts were very good. Three were served, a few more would have been more filling.) My friend ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and: Truffle Fries (Fries were very tasty. I would order again if I went back.) Beef Wellington (The breading was buttery and very good. The beef could've been more seasoned. I wouldn't order.) Key Lime Pie (Was not sweet and had no taste. When our server came back and saw it was uneaten, she offered to take it off the bill. It should be removed from the menu altogether.) The busboys and server were very attentive. Our water glasses were always filled. OVERALL The atmosphere was nice, our server was great. Of all the food we ordered, I would order the truffle fries and Cosmopolitan again. I did leave full and did take my leftover Short Rib to go. Main dishes needed more seasoning. I would dine here again and try a different menu (brunch/lunch), or Happy Hour if they offer it.

The decor is very low light, but the vibe is pretty basic - more Paint Your Dorm Room black than Parisian Opium Den black. A bit of a missed opportunity for romance.
