The Purple Pig

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Was in Chicago for a little and came here based on a friend’s recommendation. The wait (without a reservation) was shorter than expected. The service was OUTSTANDING! We had 2 people with allergies and the server was so knowledgeable about every ingredient in every dish. Her recommendations were perfect. We had the fig dip, bread, gnocchi and a couple other dishes. All 10/10. Will be returning next time I’m in town for sure!

Listen, the food is pretty fantastic. We had the beef tartar, fried mozzarella, pork belly, and pork ribs - all were exceptional with unique flavors and unexpected twists. But the overall dining experience is pretty bad. The tables are too close together, the music is very loud, and the service was meh. This restaurant would be so much better if it was in a different location. If you can put all of that aside, go enjoy the food. Just don’t expect the whole package.

What’s more to say that hasn’t already been said about the Purple Pig? James Beard award winning chef, Bib Gourmand Recognition, numerous wine and culinary awards. Needless to say, it’s highly recommended. We were fortunate to have Herbie as our server and he was just excellent with his service and recommendations. He paced our meal perfectly and we never felt rushed. He is just one example of the many talents on display there. Reservations are recommended but walk ins are possible for seats at the bar. Wherever you end up sitting, you will be in store for a fantastic meal!
