    Cheddar Burger
    Nerissa L.

    This is a really fun and vibrant restaurant! I came here for lunch the other day with some of my coworkers and it was a great experience. It was a beautiful day, so the restaurant was pretty crowded. We had a nice table inside with a great window view. All of the food we ordered was excellent and the service was good. I will be back soon for lunch!!

    A friend and I came here for dinner before going to the Lyric Opera. I have to admit that I did not know this place was in the UBS building right across the street! Great atmosphere and service. My friend had the "Singing Grüner Veltliner" - appropriate - and I had Prosecco. The cuban was excellent and the unusual take on caesar salad - grilled greens with shrimp - was delicious. Great place to hang out, people watch and enjoy great food before a performance.

    Midwestern Cobb Salad

    The place is lovely and very convenient if you're attending the opera across the street, which is what I was doing with my friends. We had a large reservation and I got there early. They were really sweet and offered me the chance to sit at the table when I arrived but opted to just sit at the high tops they have at the entrance. Once the rest of the party arrived, we went to the table. The service was lovely and kind. They brought the menu of mocktails that was by the entrance when asked. The docking of stars only comes from the food and price. The food for all of our choices was just okay. Nothing to rave about. This was a bit disappointing as the price, which I'm sure is increased because of the clientele and location of the place, is a bit higher than what the food is worth. Even so, would come back just for the convenience of the location. Plus the music they played while we were there was a bop and that was fun.

    Manhattan And The Traditional Hummus
    Steve A.

    Classy and cool is how to describe this place in the Loop with a healthy and light menu. It's not cheap but get here for happy hour and there will be some pretty good prices. One North, for those who can't figure it out, is at One North Wacker. Good place for downtown workers at lunch. Those waiting for the afternoon will get some great savings. After seeing the menu and the prices, we made a decision to go at happy hour. It's quite a deal for those willing to wait for it. This also avoids the big lunch crowds of downtown workers. A lot of those people don't need to worry about saving a few bucks. For those who are more thrifty, the happy hour is the best hour. Actually it's a couple hours for deals on both drinks and food. The specials vary per day of the week. It's $10 for cocktails. On Fridays it's a Manhattan. These were strong. As for the food it has a few appetizers. It's $10 for happy hour. We got the Traditional Hummus, with it being one of the few vegan friendly items. It was a decent amount. This comes with cucumbers, kalamata olives, lemon zest, pita chips, and tomatoes. It was a good amount of food for an appetizer. The regular menu features super expensive things such as seafood and more. Get here at happy hour. It's a lot less expensive for some good stuff. The bar is good for an intimate experience or you can sit on the patio and get some good views.

    Burrata Plate
    Amy D.

    The burrata looked promising, but it was disappointing in flavor. I think it could've used some more vinaigrette or maybe a fig jam. On top of that, the whole place seemed to be full of loud businessmen. There's nothing wrong with that (it makes sense for the area), but I just wish the acoustics weren't so intense. I could hardly hear a word my friend was saying!

    Smoked Gouda Puffs
    Bailey M.

    Overall 3.5! Nothing I'm craving but solid experience! They offer a decent happy hour where the drinks are reduced priced but not the food. We started with the smoked Gouda bites. They are actually pretty small compared to pictures. Don't split between more than two people given the size. They were tasty! For dinner I had the chicken verde flatbread. The portion size was good. The flavor was ok but nothing special. For dessert I had the crème brûlée. It was decent! Service was good and the atmosphere was nice.

    Love the poster!

    Went to One North for happy hour, their happy hour lasts till 7pm which is almost unheard of! So very happy about that. My friend and I ordered their special which was margs and Palomas for $10 which my friend said was decent (not strong but u can taste the alcohol). I stuck to Rose which was also $10. We ordered the hot mess sliders and buffalo sliders. The hot mess was good, the buffalo sliders was a little salty which is sometimes the case with buffalo flavored foods, would've liked more blue cheese and a little more sauce... we ordered the gouda cheese balls and chicken potstickers which was decent- the sauce definitely made it better. Decent spot, bar area is nice, wasn't too crowded and the service was good. Would definitely recommend for happy hour. *we split the bill and it came to around $65 p/p including tip.

    This place is a yes, yes, and yes! I have a buddy that loves Tiki bars and found this place/made a…read morereservation, so our group came to visit on a Sunday night. The vibe is speakeasy-ish; the entrance is off the street in an alleyway but the interior is very nice, low light, and would be fun for a date night! The staff were attentive and very friendly. My friend got some shots, which were surprisingly good given they were kind of sweet, and I ordered the "mystic lamp" cocktail ($16) which was VERY memorable to me as someone that loves floral drinks -- it was very floral, slightly fruity, and had a lovely chunk of lychee it came with which was delicious! The drink was decent sized too; I've been charged a lot more for much less drink at other speakeasies (those of which I don't plan to visit again any time soon haha). In my opinion, this spot has the perfect combo of great drinks, nice ambiance, cool speakeasy-vibes, but also cheerfulness given the tiki-theme inside. Would definitely rec a visit to anyone visiting Chicago who likes cool bars!

    I can't understand what the fuss is all about here. I couldn't wait to leave…read more This place represents itself as a tiki bar but is the most half-hearted attempt I have ever seen. I was excited for the experience having heard how busy it gets, blah blah. These positive reviewers need to seek out other tiki bars. After you negotiate the alley entrance and go down dangerously dark stairs, you are met with crazy boring decor. I kept thinking there had to be more right? The whole point of a tiki bar is to strike a mood, but hanging a very few polynesian masks on the wall, putting up a grass facade over the bar and dressing the servers in vaguely polynesian outfits is sad. I've seen private tiki bars at people's homes that are more exciting. Add to this a comparably boring music selection played far too loud over boomy lo-fi speakers and you'll wonder what's going on here. So what about the food and drink? Completely uninspired for anyone who's had more than a mai tai before in their life. About a dozen extremely common drink choices is all you get!! No specials, that's it. When I asked if this was the whole cocktail menu, the server said it was but they have a full bar so you can get anything you want. Well, I could get that service at just about any bar in the world, so big deal. Maybe it would be better if you sat at the bar and chatted up the bartender. One could also go taste their rum selections and other cocktails in the Bamboo Room, but I hate that kind of elitist nonsense. That's never been what tiki bars were about. The drinks we sampled were okay at best. Even the namesake 3 Dots and A Dash cocktail was lackluster and used cheap cherries for the dots instead of classic Luxardos. (If you know, you know) The appetizers were okay, but way overpriced. 5 tiny spring rolls for $18. Come on guys, enough already. I'd rather go to the bar at the Polynesian Hotel at Disney than return here. This place is a hard pass.

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.

Toward the end of the night, two of my friends left, and the remaining two of us paid our bill and were finishing our drinks while waiting for our Uber. At that point, the bartender came over and told us she needed our table for a large group. The table wasn't reserved, and we were clearly just finishing up. We told her we were about to leave anyway, but the way it was handled felt really abrupt and rude. 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. I've worked in bars and restaurants myself, so I completely understand needing to manage space, but there's a way to do it respectfully, and this wasn't it. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and despite having been here multiple times before, I won't be returning.
