    Guava and cheese empanda
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because this hit the spot with exactly what I was looking for. --- --- --- I recently had a work trip to Chicago and had a lunch spot picked out when I landed, but then Yelp's Top 100 list for 2026 came out, and I quickly pivoted to Un Amor. And it was an excellent decision. Those pictures of the steak bowls could not have spoken louder to me. I visited the day after the Super Bowl, which is always a debaucherous eating day, so I just needed some good, clean eating. Eggs, potatoes, asparagus and most importantly, high quality steak. Don't get me wrong, I was pretty tempted by the smashburger, but we just had burgers during the game, so the carne asada bowl was an easy decision. I also grabbed a guava and cheese empanada, which really hit the spot too. I'd love to come back again during a future Chicago trip.

    All the food was amazing! The carne asada bowl was very filling and the meat was cooked perfectly to my preference. The French toast flight is a great option to share if you wanna try a little bit of them all! My favorite was the banana French toast Only issue we had was waiting times for food was about 25 min and waiting for to-go boxes and the check also too another 20 ish minutes Would def come back to try their dinner menu!

    An amazing vibe every time we come! All the food is amazing. I don't like the flat flip over scrambled egg style they do. Other than that everything is fab! Came here with my daughter for brunch with friends. The kids loved it! Came again with a friend and it was the same!! Service is always attentive and accommodating.

    First ones here on a Saturday morning with a reservation! The spot is spacious but does fill up quick. A great latin brunch spot in West Town! The service was great and everything came out in a timely manner. The latte art was instagrammable. The food was hefty & showcased the quality meats. I believe I got a traditional breakfast (forgetting which latin country it was based off of) with steak, longaniza, beans, plantains, & eggs. It was delicious! The other breakfast pictured was a skirt steak sandwich with potatoes & it was also perfect. We came here for our anniversary so loved the added touch of churros with candles to end the meal. Definitely an elevated latin brunch spot to check out!

    Elite brunch spot! Recommend making a reservation as this place gets busy. No surprise though cause their food is so good. A few in my group got drinks but I skipped this time, they do have a bottomless brunch option in addition to their cocktail menu. Drinks looked very tempting! Highly recommend the carne asada bowl! It was so flavorful. Ask for some homemade salsa on the side too. You won't be disappointed! First time here but it definitely won't be my last, wow I'm so impressed!!! Need to try for dinner sometime too.

    Horchata Carajillo

    I came here on a Monday morning and was seated immediately. The atmosphere was nice and chill. Torta De Carne Asada (4/5): chose to make it a burrito, steak was flavorful, potatoes on the side were really good and seasoned well Horchata Carajillo (1/5): didn't taste horchata, mostly espresso, had a weird taste Hibiscus Margarita (4/5): refreshing, not too sweet

    Un Amor might just be my new go to brunch spot! The food was impeccable, staff was super kind, and the facility was cute and clean! I don't like to get the same thing at restaurants usually, but I would 100% get the Carne Asada Bowl again & again & again. The Horchata Carajillo was also super good and came with a delicious churro on top!

    "Avocado" toast with 2 poached eggs
    Jill G.

    I came here when they first opened. I loved the friendly service & my avocado toast was amazing. Such a cute, cool vibe. We tried it again today & my avocado toast wasn't a great as before. They changed the fresh avocado to a thin guacamole spread. The bread is so good from Publican. It comes with 2 poached eggs. One was prepared perfectly, one was hard. The micro greens & shaved beets were nice, but it lacked flavor. I used salt & pepper to give it something. My husband got the chicken & waffles. They use thighs. He also thought it lacked flavor. The breading tested burnt but bland. It came with bourbon butter & a drizzle of syrup. It needed more, would have been nice if it came with some on the side. As a pescatarian, I wish the had more veggie choices on the menu. Or sub vegan chorizo. I'll be back to try again. I loved their friendly energy.

    I went for a brunch. The place is very nice and clean. The waitress was very nice. I ordered the Carne Asada Bowl. It had Skirt steak, roasted potatoes, mixed peppers, red onion, asparagus, I requested scrambled eggs. The whole bowl was good. But not great. The meat was good and tender. The rest of the ingredients could have used some seasoning. We ordered the Braised Brisket Empanadas, they were excellent! The flavor of the brisket was really flavorful and so very good! Highly recommend. Overall it was a good experience. I will go back to try their dishes.

    Empanada - Guava
    Suzi P.

    A perfect brunch spot in West Town. We stopped in on a Monday and were thoroughly impressed by the food, coffee, and overall vibe. The menu really shines with its savory options--we ordered the guava empanada, smash burger, carne asada bowl, and chilaquiles verdes with birria, and every dish was a hit. The chef truly knocked it out of the park. The coffee was just as memorable--the mazapan latte and dulce de leche latte were rich and flavorful. Service was quick, and the team was warm and welcoming throughout. Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu.

    This is such a cute brunch spot! We came on a Sunday around 11AM and the restaurant was packed but we managed to snag two seats at the bar. Started off with a strawberry horchata latte and my friend ordered the ube latte. I loved the dried flower petals they had adorned my cup with. We wanted sweet and savory so we ordered the Guatemalan breakfast and shared the french toast flight. The steak was cooked to perfection, it was so juicy! Out of the three flavors of the french toast, I enjoyed the banana foster one the most. I loved that the restaurant is family owned and ran. The owner came over to introduce himself and his family members who were working. Will definitely be back to try more dishes in the coming weeks!

    Carne Asada Bowl

    Came to Un Amor on a Sunday for brunch with a group of friends, and it was fantastic! We made a reservation on Resy two days in advance, and there were plenty of dining times available. The day of, we were running a bit late and were able to call to push our reservation back. Everyone was so kind, and our server had the best recommendations. We got the brisket and cachete empanadas to share and they were the best we've ever had. The skirt steak and chimichurri were also fantastic. We all enjoyed our food, and the skillet cookie at the end was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this restaurant for the excellent service, ambiance, and quality and taste of food. It's easily one of my top brunch places this year.

    OMG! Un Amor - THE Place to Be in Chicago!! Let me tell you about our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE spot for brunch and dinner in the city! We are OBSESSED with Un Amor and can't stop going back for their incredible brunches and amazing evening happy hours and dinners! The staff? They don't just serve you - they WELCOME you with open arms every single time! Their attention to detail is NEXT LEVEL! And the FOOD?! OH. MY. GOODNESS. It's mind-blowingly delicious! Everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - we've tried has completely blown us away! When we had 10 friends visiting for St. Patrick's Day, there was NO QUESTION where we had to take them! We made a reservation for our crew of 12 at our beloved Un Amor, and guess what? EVERYONE declared it their absolute favorite restaurant of their entire Chicago trip! How amazing is that?! For brunch, you HAVE to try the Carne Asada Bowl (get those eggs scrambled - trust me!), any of their INCREDIBLE french toast creations, LITERALLY ALL of their empanadas (they're THAT good!), and the chicken and waffles that will change your life! Dinner favorites? The smash burger is TO DIE FOR and those loaded fries? I'm drooling just thinking about them! If you haven't been to Un Amor yet, what are you even waiting for?! GO! NOW! Your taste buds will thank you!!!

    Step off the streets of Chicago into a beautifully dimly lit fondue experience is so cozy inside…read morewith the music of a live Spanish guitar that really create a private magical experience. All the premier dinners come with salad, cheese, fondue, and the chocolate fondue - You are just choosing what protein you would like. The Prince Geja combination has a little bit of everything. However, we most liked the seafood which includes lobster and the scallops were to die for! Also the beef also cooks well. Favorite dipping sauce included the pimento mayo, chimichurri, and garlic butter. The cheese fondue is quite rich and the bread is quite filling so maybe get as much cheese as you can on each piece of bread. The chocolate fondue, I think is actually the best course as the Belgium chocolate melts so well and has a decadent but not overly sweet flavor. It pairs well with all that is provided for dipping, which includes poundcake, rice Krispies, strawberries. They also have some liquor that they light on fire at first so you can roast the marshmallows. It is such a well thought out experience. Service flows very well from two waiters who take your order set up your fondue pots for each course, but be prepared to spend at least 2 hours on this experience. Check out the Groupon but also I read a review that they just tack on the extra $50 so it's not really too much of a savings. Not sure if this is true.

    Had a fantastic evening at this classic spot!…read more Food was super tasty and fresh! The seafood was probably my favorite! The full dinner with chocolate and cheese was perfect! Also appreciated that they were accommodating for the vegetarian in our party. Everything except the cheese course can be made vegan friendly as well. The service was top notch! Appreciated that they called me ahead of time to confirm our reservation and ask about food allergies. All the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. They were quick to refill items and answer any questions we had. The location is classic fondue restaurant, cozy and romantic. However, also perfect for catching up with a friend. I love the history in this place and really enjoyed the mood lighting. Pricing was fantastic for the quality of service, food, and drinks! Look forward to many happy returns!

    Gemini is magnificently tantalizing to your foodie-loving tastebuds!!!…read more I am not only impressed, I am utterly blown away. This enchanting restaurant has a bright, lively, and beautiful interior alongside a lovely, romantic little outdoor sidewalk patio. The flowers and charming character of the windows set the stage, but that gorgeous charm prevails throughout the entire space, creating an inviting and pleasurable ambiance from the moment you walk in. While almost elegant in its decor, it truly captivated me to hear Mick singing "Wild Horses" in the background - which is truly symbolic of how I felt after dining in this absolute treasure. Wild horses couldn't drag me away! The culinary experience seamlessly matched the beauty of the flawless atmosphere, beginning with the Super Green Vegetable salad. It was a brilliant and vibrant mix of kale, avocado, broccoli, asparagus, olive, pepperoncini, and pistachio, all topped off with freshly shaved and grated parmesan that brought a wonderful richness and depth of flavor to the meal. For the main dishes, the Alaskan halibut was an absolute masterpiece, exquisitely paired with English peas, green garlic mojo, and adorned with miniature delicate pea shoots and accented with dill. The pork tenderloin was equally incredible, perfectly complemented by pickled red onions, caramelized pineapple, pasilla chile, and fresh cilantro. We paired our main dishes with a special menu side of Nichols Farm sweet corn, taken right from the ear, which offered a burst of sweet crunch and true freshness accented by a hint of tangy lime aioli, and perfectly topped with shaved Cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. Last, but definitely not least, was the impeccable service. Justice, the hostess, was incredibly inviting, friendly, and accommodating. Even though their reservations were completely filled, she managed to find a small slot in between. Since we wanted to catch the Chiefs game at one of our other favorite restaurants afterward, we were perfectly flexible to squeeze into the 45-to-60-minute window she graciously provided for us. Our server, Jacob, was friendly, jovial, and perfectly obliging to our request to not exceed the time frame Justice had given us. He was thoroughly knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful in recommending several dishes, confirming our final selections would be perfect for our first-time experience. Tom, the General Manager, was also very hands-on throughout our dinner and incredibly lovely and engaging upon our exiting. My senses (visual, smell, taste, and hearing) were utterly in a state of absolute pleasure. This short yet marvelously euphoric experience from beginning to end will linger with me far longer than my brief visit. It touched me deeply, and it will be my sincere honor and delight to return.

    Over all this place was okay, and when I say okay it was mediocre…read more How ever I would like to point out that the staff and I repeat the staff was very friendly not to mention very welcoming. I came here with three others and we all ordered different things from the brunch menu along with a few drinks. The atmosphere here is open, modern, and pretty eye catching, we all heard a few negative comments about brunch here and rather than just taking words of advice we came anyways. To be honest we should've went elsewhere, the only thing about the food that actually seemed to have any flavor was the fries and even they were a little salty like my wallet when we left LOL The Jumbo (not so much) Lump Crab Benedict at $25 was honestly boring lacking any flavor also it didn't even come with potatoes I ended up sharing my Lincoln Park Turkey Club that was good but even it was pretty basic at $21, the Burger at $21 literally looked like something off the kids menu the bun was bigger than the patty LOL and the Blackened Chicken Caesar at $19 was more like an appetizer size and the chicken at least it was juicy not dry. Other reviews about brunch here seem to be about the same and honestly I think it's funny they don't even try to elevate their food when so many say about the same things. I think the only reason why people come to this place is 1. It's located in Lincoln Park and 2. that makes it a trendy spot to eat. So why bother fixing anything when it's just trendy and flavorless Their brunch is mediocre but apparently dinner is where it's at. However after the experience with brunch I'm not even sure I would even go back. Come here for the staff eat at your own expense maybe your food will have flavor or not but honestly do what you want and keep it trendy

I really wanted to like it; this was a nine-year anniversary dinner. Service was really attentive and friendly and I did appreciate that they brought out specific utensils for me as a left-handed person, never saw that before! The restaurant felt a bit bare and sterile, I think I was maybe expecting a little more decor on the table for a Michelin star restaurant. To echo several of the reviews below, the salad was awkward to share and scanty, the soup was good but the bread served with it felt like an afterthought, the sturgeon wasn't anything special though the sauce was quite good, and we are pretty sure the cut of beef was not wagyu or if it was it was not cooked the right way. The beef was the most disappointing part, I couldn't even chew through all of it. The add-ons were the best part - pasta was great and our dessert was delicious. But the rest of the meal was unfortunately mediocre. Hoping that others have a different experience with the regular menu!

    This review is for Restaurant Week!…read more I really like Esmes vibe overall. It's chic and minimalist. I love that the tables are widely spaced out so you don't feel like you're on top of another party. I loved the bowls everything was served in, and the silverware was unique. And the service was great. I appreciate when they left everyone finish before they clear the table. While I thought all the food was good, I think it overwhelming fell flat flavor wise. I don't think anything blew me away like I was expecting which was disappointing. We had the caviar supplement, which they accidentally gave us two of (amazing), which was good but also didn't blow me away. I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavors of the soup but that's probably a personal problem. The sturgeon and wagyu were alright. I wish I left being amazed but I left thinking I wouldn't come back, not even for RW again. I think my favorite bite of the night was the sticky date cake. I think it was the most flavorful but it wasn't the best dessert I've ever had. It lacked SOMETHING but I couldn't tell you what.

That is to say: I am not throwing words of praise like "one of a kind" and "phenomenal" around lightly. Both are different and still amazing. Sparrow has a vibe straight out of the 1920s. The decor, signage, use of color, and absence of screens or TV's all contribute to the theme. The music is also appropriate and plays at the perfect volume to be pleasant without forcing one to raise their voice. I tried the Green Daisy and a House Old Fashioned. The Green Daisy was boozy and had some herbaceous notes. A little tartness and a little sweetness helped balance the drink out and make for a phenomenal sipper. I loved the creativity with this one! The House Old Fashioned was also well done, assembled with quality ingredients in balance with one another. Nothing wrong with a well-executed classic. The prices are more or less reasonable considering the location and overall market, with bevies costing around $16. The bar staff is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming! Final verdict: A spot where I can say come for the drinks and stay for the vibe. It's the kind of place where walking in you are transported a century into the past. Everything about the experience, including the atmosphere, drinks, service, and prices, is calling me to return and bring some people with me.
