Burgers were awesome. But Antonio was perfect, and went above and beyond making our dinner special…read more It was my first time in the restaurant and asked if the fries of hash was better, he recommended the fries but later surprised us with the hash comped. But that's not all-- he also came with a sunday "just to celebrate" it wasn't anyone's birthday or anniversary but we definitely were in the mood to celebrate after a night talking with him. Thanks for great service and great food, give Antonio a raise he is AWESOME

We recently took a large party from work for lunch at Bar Siena. Beautiful restaurant, fantastic…read moreservice, great food. There is indoor and outdoor seating and both are elegant. Outside, vibrant with hanging flowers and tasteful covers. Inside is bright with stark woods and black accents creating a classy but casual atmosphere. We had a table of 8, and our waiter was on point, making great suggestions, was charismatic and did a great job. Every time service came, there was help to expedite the service. We ordered the calamari and meatballs for appetizers. Both were exceptional. They went quickly. I couldn't get pictures. I had the focaccia with prosciutto which was a suggestion and it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet...fantastic. Likewise, my rigatoni was exceptional. Most of the table had their signature burger and they raved about it. If you're in Chicago looking for really solid Italian food, I highly recommend Bar Sienna.

Bar Siena is such a hidden gem! My husband and I stopped by for drinks, and it ended up being one…read moreof the highlights of our evening. The ambiance is cozy, intimate, and perfect for date night, but it's also a great place to pop in for a quick cocktail if you're out enjoying the city. Their handcrafted drinks were delicious, and I loved that they offer a full wine selection as well. We were able to grab seats at the bar with no problem, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. If you're looking for a chic, laid-back place to connect over great drinks, I definitely recommend Bar Siena.

I've seen Bandit on several "best happy hours in Chicago" lists so we decided to check it out…read more Waited 30 min on a Friday before getting seated indoors. There were plenty of tables outside, which we would've preferred. Hostess didn't ask for inside vs outside so our fault for assuming those tables were accounted for. Food and drink was decent. Pay attention to the happy hour menu. Prices are deceiving because it's discounted but you also get less food (1 slider, 1 mozz stick, etc). We mainly ordered off of the regular menu. Service was attentive.

We were seated quickly at Bandit, which was a good start, but unfortunately, no one came by to take…read moreour order. After waiting for a while, the host came by to check on us, and we ordered two drinks from her. It was pretty disappointing that no server came over to take our food order, so we ultimately decided not to stay for a meal. Hopefully, this was just an off night, because the experience could have been much better with more attentive service.

We also tried several cocktails, including the Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches and the Spanish G&T.

I've had every meal here and most of the menu, no complaints. Only major bummer is that they no longer serve breakfast on weekdays. Had the crispy chicken sandwich without the bun for dinner, as well as the beet salad to start and tiramisu for dessert. I'll be back, every 6-8 weeks!

I personally didn't like the croquetas the meat was chewy inside and bland. I think most appetizers were $6-$10 and drinks like French 75, Ap spritz, old fashioned were $10. We definitely enjoyed ourselves here. Our server was very chill and tatted up, we liked his vibe!

Hide+Seek was pretty good! Came here for dinner on a work trip and had the Parisian Gnocchi ($27)…read morewhich has lobster in it. The portion size isn't huge but there's a LOT of fat in this so it will make you feel full! I had had a drink beforehand too so I wasn't "starving," and I left pretty comfortably full. I was seated upstairs at the bar (there's an up and a downstairs bar) and the bartender was very nice, they served me pretty quick. I didn't hang about long but there were several couples clearly on dates, and I would say it's a nice spot for that -- not the fanciest, but certainly more upscale than casual. Bathrooms were immaculate too! Of note, I didn't have a car but saw metered parking directly out front and along the whole street there in shopping area. It was VERY packed but there was a lot of turnover so I imagine if you drove you wouldn't have to circle too long before finding a spot.

Girl & the Goat absolutely lived up to the hype - so much so that we went twice…read more Our first night, Luis greeted us and immediately jumped in because our server, Chloe, was tied up at another table. Once Chloe took over, we were shocked when we found out she'd only started TWO DAYS earlier. She was AMAZING. Knowledgeable, confident, attentive and genuinely fun. Huge shoutout to both Chloe and Girl & the Goat's training program, because if that's what two days in looks like, they're doing something very right. We shared the green beans, goat empanadas, pork shank and chicken dish, and loved everything. We told Chloe we'd be back for dessert -- and we actually kept our promise! Unfortunately she wasn't working when we returned, but Jake took great care of us and was amazing too. We came specifically for When Life Gives You Blueberries and the Chocolate Basil Brownie Bash, and both were superb.

Girl & The Goat has been on my Chicago food radar for a while, and sometimes the places with the…read morebiggest hype have the hardest time living up to it. This one did. The whole experience is built around sharing, which gave us an excuse to order like we hadn't eaten in three days. And there really wasn't a weak plate on the table. The goat belly was the WOW bite for me. Rich, tender, full of flavor and exactly the kind of dish you come here hoping to find -- something different that you'll actually remember the next day. Then came the grilled short rib. Beautiful char, incredibly tender, sweet and savory working together... this was the plate where the table got noticeably quieter for a minute. Always a good sign. And don't sleep on the chickpea fritters. I wasn't expecting them to compete with goat belly and short rib for attention, but they absolutely held their own. Crispy, flavorful and another example of how Girl & The Goat takes something relatively simple and makes it interesting. We tried several other dishes, passed plates around, argued over who got the last bite and basically did dinner exactly the way this place is meant to be experienced. Great atmosphere, creative food, strong service and enough unexpected flavors to keep the meal fun from beginning to end. Girl & The Goat was worth the splurge
