My sister and I had planned to head to the Loop for Restaurant Week, but a sleepy and crabby toddler led to a change of plans that brought us to Tavern on the Point. My friend Joneice turned me onto the InKind app, which this place is listed on (as of January 2026) so we decided to give them a try. The food was not bad. I'd been considering a reuben but my curiosity got to me and I ordered the mac and cheese burger. It was pretty good, though I'm not sure it would be my first choice again. I'd order the macaroni and cheese as an individual item, particularly for my child. This time I got for her the buttered noodles which she liked a lot and actually I thought were really good too--I understand it's a pretty plain selection, but it was better than at other places. Their kid's menu was listed on the InKind app, I think, but I didn't see it on their menu I found elsewhere so you may want to take a look; I know they had the noodles and a hamburger on there, and they may also have had chicken tenders and a couple other things. read more

Upgraded bar food and atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. Prices were reasonable. On this occasion my husband got the lobster roll burger and I got the filet sliders. Food was decent. I enjoyed my filet sliders. It paired well with my Eris Cider. Husband was still hungry after eating here but that is nothing new. This establishment had live music and the crowd was friendly. Plenty of street parking near the restaurant. read more

This was our first time here. We came in and it took a while for someone to come to our table to take a drink order. They were out of items on the drink menu. This set the pattern for the rest of the night. The menu makes this place look like a legit restaurant, but it is really a bar with some food. Service was friendly but very slow. Mediocre food. We will not be back. read more

I came in 30 mins prior to happy hour on a holiday weekend and was immediately seated outside on the second floor patio. It was a beautiful day out so I was thrilled. I ordered the jalapeño poppers and a cucumber Collins. They came out about 30 mins later. From the quality of the food and drink, I feel confident that they made them fresh to order, so with that I'm not upset about the wait time. This was my first time dining here, but I already can't wait to go back! read more

Horrible, horrible experience!!! First, a 25% gratuity was automatically added to my bill, which is excessive -- especially considering the service was extremely slow and inattentive. On top of that, they added a 3% credit card fee, which should be a cost absorbed by the business, not passed on to customers! Should be illegal!! The restaurant was overcrowded and so loud that it was difficult to even have a conversation. Unfortunately, the poor service and unexpected fees made this a frustrating experience. Considering their food wasn't even that great . I will not be returning or recommending. read more

Hey this place is great! Such a cool space and a huge menu with a ton of delicious options. My friend and I came here for Saturday brunch. Christina was our server and she was fantastic. We enjoyed several fabulous cocktails. I had the Godfather Sandwich with waffle fries: so good, so good! My friend had the short rib grilled cheese, which she said was awesome. The value was amazing for the price. I can't wait to come back! read more

The food and service here is good. However, their taxing policies are not. In addition to the "restaurant tax" and "credit card service fee" tax they also add a "sugar tax" whether you have any sugary drinks or not and they only indicate it was charged after you pay. I haven't seen this done anywhere else, honestly. This is a pathetic business practice that turns potential return customers away. read more

Tavern on the Point Edison Park's hidden gem and first rooftop outdoor space! Soak up the sun or relax in the shade of the umbrellas on the rooftop at Tavern on the Point. Where the menu has something for everyone and the food will have you planning your next visit as soon as you leave! Ordered: Carrot Cake French Toast - This dish was super fun and delicious. The French toast was cooked perfectly. Topped off with creamy vanilla frosting and sprinkled with crunchy, crispy carrot pieces. This dish is perfect for carrot cake lovers or for any French toast fan! The maple syrup on top was the perfect addition and an obvious necessity in any French toast dish. Monte Cristo - This sandwich was gourmet. It didn't even need jam because it included a side of maple syrup. Would definitely order this sandwich again! Hibiscus Refresher - This drink was fruity, refreshing, and filled with whole blueberries. Plus, I'm a sucker for anything hibiscus! Diet Coke Avoid the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago by visiting Tavern on the Point! From the friendly service to the vibe-filled indoor and outdoor spaces, the @tavernpointchi should be at the top of your list of spots to visit this summer! read more

Had an opportunity to visit here for a private event and enjoyed my time at the space. In the upstairs area, there is room to fit up to 50 people with restrooms and a patio area adjacent to the bar. I found this to be a good setup with enough space to wander around and the noise level being fairly reasonable for the number of people in the space. I also had a chance to try many different items such as the Caesar Salad, Sliders, Chicken Fingers, Fries, Waffle fries, and more. Overall I found the food to be pretty similar to the more upscale options I've tried with a good level of execution. Items didn't feel too greasy and were seasoned appropriately. read more

Sat at the bar for the happy hour deals and enjoyed the delicious spinach artichoke dip. Alyssa was a smiley great bartender. She was attentive to all the folks sitting at the bar as well as a couple gentleman sitting in a booth. It's a wonderful airy n sunny bar..I can only imagine how busy it must be when the patio out front or rooftop patio is open! Will be back for the burger deal on Monday. It's a double patty. read more

The food was excellent. The larger parts of the steak were a little chewy & the smaller parts were tender. The steak was perfectly seasoned & tasted great. I had 9 stalks of asparagus for &3.00. That's good. I was impressed with the amount of waffle fries I received as a $3.00 side. Great place. read more

Talk about a hidden gem! So happy I found this place! Stopped by during the week. We sat outside as the night was beautiful! They had the cubs game on which was an added treat!! I got their Smell as Sweet drink, it was the perfect summer "girl" drink! For dinner I had the Rigatoni chicken Pesto! SO delicious!! Our server was great! Super friendly and gave us great drink recommendations! read more

This is a review for their private events. I haven't been there as a regular restaurant patron (yet). I attended Mr. P's high school reunion in their upstairs space. The staff was phenomenal. We arrived about 10 minutes before the event began, so I was privy to hearing the staff game plan about the upcoming party. It was nice to hear them talking through everything, not just waiting for the event to start and then winging it. They asked the host when to set out the food and it was set out right on time. They were sufficiently staffed on bartenders and servers so there were only brief waits for drinks and servers floated around the event getting needed items and tidying up used dishes. Everything stayed clean despite the crush of people. The food was unbelievable. I would have considered it excellent if it was served to me as an individual diner. To get it in bulk from a buffet and still have that quality was top notch. The pasta and meatballs were delicious. The beef sliders were a bit dry but easily remedied by dunking them in the pasta sauce or marinara. The facility was lovely as well We briefly saw the downstairs as we left and it looked cool. We were upstairs, accessible through a narrow stairway (and I assume an elevator?) The lighting is dimmer, but not dark, with high top tables and a nice bar. The second floor outdoor patio is great, with lots of tables and a small area with couches. read more

Stopped in at the Edison Park spot for dinner the other night. Sat at the bar and the bartender greeted me quickly and with a smile. The old fashioned was solid but unfortunately the best part of the night. I ordered the Asiago Chicken Milanese and it was under seasoned and over cooked. The tomato cucumber salad on top was fresh and tasty. I ordered the filet sliders to take home for my wife and again under seasoned. It was a clean inviting interior and would be back but maybe stick to burgers and wings. read more

I left a review almost a year ago with 4 stars. There were some small things I didn't like. Wanted to update and change it, but couldn't find it. So- here we are again! This time 5 stars going to Tavern on the Point! Food is perfect as the last time! Service is even more than great! Jordy was our server and I want to prise that girl! She is really nice, friendly, dedicated to work and pleasant person! We didn't make a reservation, but since it wasn't busy we asked to be sited outside, and we were. Atmosphere was good too. And, not to forget to mention that we got 2 appetisers FREE! Don't remember what was a deal today, but we got 2 free appetisers:-D. All in all- no mistake this time! Place is definitely great and everyone should give it a try! Rooftop is for sure the best addition to this place! read more

I highly recommend this establishment. It has great service, delicious food that in my opinion is excellent quality and well made. The ambiance is also top notch. Tasteful, clean, comfortable. Think leather, plaid, and tobacco. (No smoking but I'm talking about vibe) The bar area is super nice and chic. It has outdoor seating, a rooftop, but we enjoyed a comfortable cozy booth. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends. We had BLT (minus avocado) Grouper Sandwich, and Fish Tacos, and chicken sandwich from the lunch menu. Oh yes and good music but not so loud you have to shout. Nice background. read more

Tavern on the Point is a great neighborhood spot for a date night, celebration, brunch, or to simply share a meal with family! We decided to celebrate our anniversary there, it being close to home and knowing they have delicious food. It did not disappoint! My wife is a sucker for a good vodka sauce pasta and this one was so delightfully creamy and flavorful! She added the chicken, but if she were to order again, she'd probably try it with the blackened chicken to give it extra flavor as the regular chicken did seem a bit bland. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan which was a great portion size and the chicken was very well seasoned. The star of the night however, was the fried calamari! We were a bit weary at first of the sweet chili glaze it was tossed in since we are calamari purists, but it was such a delicious surprise! The flavors from the glaze along with the paired house made sriracha-aioli was such a treat for our tastebuds. We ended the night with a cookie skillet that was on the house in honor of our anniversary. Such a sweet and unexpected surprise! If you are looking for food and service that is ON POINT, then look no further than Tavern on the Point! read more

Sat down at the bar and noticed the filth immediately. Wet glass rings and some other crud. Two bartenders doing nothing. 6 of here, not like they're busy. Im actually afraid to order anything from the kitchen. Can't keep what the customer see's clean I can imagine what the kitchen looks like. Okay, so I ordered a lobster roll. Pretty good. When I was presented my meal by the food runner I mentioned the condition of the bar. At this time there are 3 bartenders. Still doing NOTHING. This young gentleman preceded to clean the whole bar. Break this kid into management. He gets it and fire the rest of these goofs. Wonderful, 3% surcharge for using a credit card. Like the price you charge isnt enough? Needless to say I was very disappointed. Such a nice looking place in a great location. read more

Went with a couple friends - Thursday at dinner time. Perhaps I just expected more; many spots with tavern in the name are so very much more upscale; but found this place not much more than a corner tap. Barely seated into a booth when the waitress was at us for our drink orders - no lie - 3x within 10 minutes. Then twice in next 10 min suggesting apps, which we declined - and once our drinks were on the table - "dyanowhatchagonnahave"? Ambiance was lacking, young staff was inexperienced - BUT the chicken dish with rice/tomatoes in wine was excellent and the serving was plentiful. We won't be back though - while the food was very good, service, noise level, and atmosphere are equally of importance. read more

Fried calamari, kale & avocado salad w/ chicken, grouper sandwich, & southwest chicken sandwich dishes were amazing along with their spacious rooftop being the perfect place to have a lunch during this beautiful chicago weather the food was delicious and we couldn't have asked for a better lunch !

Just hosted a group of friends and our kids in the upstairs bar/party room for the football game and it couldn't have been a better time! This space is such a hidden gem in the neighborhood.

Was there with friends for drinks and some snacks. Spinach artichoke dip was delicious. Wine was so so, although we did finish two bottles of red. Our server was great. She checked on us frequently. They even had music after 7.30. Recommended for happy hour and to hang out with friends and family. read more

Have enjoyed this restaurant in the past, but not for my birthday celebration with my family at a table of 6. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio wine and was told 10 minutes later that they were out of that, so I ordered a Vodka lemonade. Only 2 guests were drinking alcoholic beverages. Placed an order for 2 appetizers and received one immediately and the second one came with dinner We ordered dinner and I was told 10 minutes later that they didn't have Brick Chicken. The waitstaff handed me a menu and asked me what I wanted and I suggested that they bring my drink and I would place my order. Dinner was good but I was extremely disappointed. read more

We had a reservation Thanksgiving day at 3 for dinner. The reservation was confirmed the day before. We got a call Thanksgiving morning at 8:10 to cancel our reservation. The guy who called could not understand why we were so upset. Needless to say beyond mad and will never go in there again as we are local neighborhood people. Just so wrong, they could have canceled earlier. read more

Food was ok. Except I ordered the $15 lunch special with grilled cheese and onion jam. No onion jam! Server Ally says you must pay extra for onion jam. The menu disagrees! She could've made it right but instead was argumentative. Because of this we won't be back. read more

Food: 5/6 of us really enjoyed our meals. The 1 person that got seafood did not really enjoy his. The rest of us got pasta or steak and all was good there. Appetizers were good too. We got chicken wings, pizza and fried calamari. Drinks: cocktails were very good, no complaints there. Only issue is some items were not available and it would have been nice if they told us from the beginning, as the wait was super long to finally get drinks due to many being unavailable or being given a cheaper substitute without asking us first. I would give 4/5 stars for food & drinks. The service was inconveniently slow in the beginning and felt like there was some lack of transparency. We waited over 20 mins to get our first round of drinks. If these issues didn't occur I would have been more inclined to give 4 stars. read more

Good drinks and great outside sitting area in front. I will have to come back to check out the roof.

A friend recommended this place for lunch and, after meeting her there, I agree that it's good. The bar had a slight, welcoming beer smell as soon as I walked in, which I appreciate. There is outside seating that looks nice, but we had to sit inside because of the unpleasant weather. As brunch was still being served (until 15:00), I ordered the Denver omelette and my friend had the crepes. The omelette was good, although not the best I have ever had. The server, who was very attentive, brought me cake because she saw that my friend brought me a gift bag that said "happy birthday." I'm normally not a cake person, but she brought it so had to try it. She called it a cannoli cake or something and it was good, not too sweet. I plan to come back here, mostly because I like the service and the atmosphere. It's a good place to have some food and get a couple of beers on a Saturday. read more

Great food and large portions. Would definitely recommend. Service can be hit or miss but that sometimes comes with having seasonal staff.

This place based its entire personality and social media on the fact it has a rooftop. The problem is that the rooftop is never open. I've gone several times with the intent to sit on this allusive rooftop, only to be turned away. It seems ridiculous that the bar uses the rooftop as its main selling point but never actually opens it. We've received several excuses: too hot, too cold, private parties, you name it. All of that is understandable as a one off situation, but the fact it's happened 5-6 times in a row is insane. If you're looking for a rooftop that's open regularly, there are far better options in the area. Disappointing. read more

I've been here a few times. For the special brunch like Mother's Day or for the frozen themed days. Overall the food is good and the service was fine. However, the last time I went on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty empty. The service was awful. We had my one year old with us and she was losing her mind befit took over an hour to get our food. Because it was empty, I didn't see the reason for the poor service. The food was good, but nothing special (or maybe I was tainted by the poor service) I asked for a to go box and after waiting 10 minutes (sadly this isn't even an exaggeration) we left, and left our leftovers there as well. read more
