Really glad I tried it. I tried stopping by one day when they'd been opened fewer than two hours I…read morethink but was out of luck; they were sold out. So I came by one Sunday before opening and was surprised that there were only about five people ahead of me in line shortly before they opened. They threw the doors wide open precisely at noon. Asa, the proprietor, clearly has a passion for the work she does. She's a bit of a cross between a poet and a pastry chef--check out the descriptions she writes of her pies if you don't believe me! Each slice is unlike any pie I've ever tasted. She had a pie with fig, and that was the closest to a conventional pie she had (if you can call it that--as I said, I find it hard to describe her offerings). All were creamy, decadent, and unique in the true sense of the word. Her crusts were amazing. Also unique is the way she runs her business. She is based out of a little counter in the Poke San that's on the corner of Wells & Huron. The hours she keeps are minimal. And it's a total of two people--her father, who takes payment, and her. Her passion comes out in the care that she takes with each slice: She bakes the pies, of course, but then she adorns them upon ordering. You will wait several minutes once you've ordered your slice, and if you are in line you will be waiting for a while depending upon your place (being 5th or 6th in line, I was finished about 15-20 minutes after the shop opened). It's clear she sees this as artistic expression, and honestly that is plain to see in how she finishes each slice: A brûlée'd top on this one (caramelized whilst you watch), decorating that one with local--real--flowers. It's an experience and if you like to try new things, or just taste something that is fairly unlike other local offerings, you should consider giving it a try before she moves on to new ventures.

The slice of pie was incredible and this is my new favorite dessert spot. It is quite pricey ($14…read morefor a singular slice), but a more special occasion type of pastry treat. Got the second one which is creamy cinnamon flavor with a brûléed top. There's some poured rice and cinnamon crème fraiche on the top. It wasn't overly sweet (huge compliment), and the crust was very flaky. How it works: -you can order at the window and there's little menus that are handwritten with the four pie options -the base pie is already done, and she will finish and add the decorations and toppings after you order Packaging is beautiful and very high end. Service was very fast (no one in line on a Sunday afternoon). Definitely will be back!

Before checking in for our reservation, there were a few photo opportunities outside. Once we checked in at the hostess stand, we were seated immediately at a table. The server explained the concept of the bar and left us be to read the menu. Santa Baby Bar is a multi level restaurant with bars and photo opportunities. If you're at a table, you get a 90 minute time limit. You can explore and order drinks & food, but the table is yours for that time period. Food and drinks come out when they're ready. The inside & outside of this place was decked out in holiday decorations! My family and I decided to order a bunch of food to share. Everything ended up being so good too! The giant (emphasis on giant) holiday pretzel is a must order! It came with 3 dipping sauces: cinnamon toffee sauce, queso, and cranberry mustard. My favorite was the toffee one. The Santa's Sampler was another great appetizer to order because it had a little bit of everything: mozzarella sticks, fried mac 'n' cheese, chicken fingers, chicken wings, mini corn dogs, and sweet potato fries. My husband and I ended up also splitting some dessert - Santa's Sundae. This was vanilla soft serve ice cream with a ton of candy in it and it even came out with a giant sparkler. While we waited to digest in between courses, my husband and I walked around to the different floors to see all the decorations and photo ops. The place was crowded, but did not feel overwhelming. Although the place was buzzing, I could not hear other conversations when we were back at our table area. Service was A+ too. The server was a pro taking care of us and all her other tables. She was also extremely nice. Santa Baby is only around for the holiday season and turns into a normal bar in the off season (Stolen Saddle). The service and food were so good that I definitely would recommend it anytime during the year.

Aside from it being a black-owned business, their popcorn tastes incredible and they have a variety of flavours. It's common for Chicago-ins to compare them to Garrett's and I gotta believe Moore Poppin ends up on top more often than not. It's not cheap. Most specialty products aren't, ya know. IMHO, the satisfaction we get from their product is worth spending a few extra coins for. Two quick tips: 1. Don't bring cash 2. When not eating, seal as much air out of the bags as possible. From experience I can tell you, if left out it will go stale and not taste very good. It's a wonderful stop with wonderful folks and the best aroma, ever! I wish we could get back there more often. 08/25

We started with the biscuits and pimento cheese. This isn't your grocery store variety of pimento cheese. It's a mix of sharp cheese and peppery pimento that pairs perfectly with the biscuits, that have a sweet honey coating. Next was the perfect gumbo. Spicy and full of chicken and Andouille sausage, it's some of the best I've had, outside of New Orleans. We shared the half chicken and spare ribs. The chicken was perfect, along with squash, green beans and tiny tomatoes. I absolutely loved the tender spare ribs. This place just screams love.

Nice and cozy inside with an open kitchen. The place was very clean and not too loud. They had some nice old school soul music playing in which I liked. Everyone talked about how stellar the service is but we didn't experience that. Our server Alex was a nice gentleman but he wasn't very attentive to us. He seemed to give the other tables a lot more attention than he gave us. 5/10 for service. I still tipped him 25% but he didn't deserve a 10% tip. The food made up for his lackluster service. We ordered The Short Ribs, Bone in Pork Chop, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, Cornbread w/Honey Butter & the Banana pudding for dessert. The short ribs came on top of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes with a very savory gravy. This dish was spot on, tender and everything was seasoned to perfection!! It comes with some fried onions on top which added a nice touch to the dish. 10/10!! The Bone in Pork Chop was decent. Very tender but the flavor was basic at best. My wife & I agreed that it was a mediocre dish. 5.3/10. Now the sides were absolutely delicious!! The collard greens were so flavorful. Some of the best collards I've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly! 10/10. The Mac & Cheese was also amazing! Baked and homemade with a nice crust of cheese on top! Easy 10/10. The cornbread was pretty good. It paired well with the greens. Slightly sweet but not too sweet. 7/10. The banana pudding is something that got rave reviews but it was just ok to us. Nothing special as I make a better banana pudding. 5/10. I wouldn't get it again. All in all it was a very good meal. We will definitely return. As we enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Check them out if you haven't. You won't be disappointed. 8.5/10 overall. Remember ALL reviews are subjective
