The Dearborn

The food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance...all fantastic! It was just a short walk from our hotel at Cambria so we decided to give it a try. For my entree I ordered the Dearborn Burger and it was so delicious. I ended up eating the whole thing and paid for it big time later but it was so delicious. They charged $5 to add bacon and $2 to add onions which was pricey! Now the drinks were good as well. I really liked the peaches,peaches, peaches cocktail & their take on the Bramble was fine. It was my birthday and they did a complimentary dessert with a candle. Our server was very attentive and funny. Great experience. Oh, also...we made reservations for 7:30pm or somewhere around that but arrived 30 minutes before. We were seated right away. I would still make a reservation just for times sake but it seems that if you walk in with a small party, you can get seated pretty quickly.

This place was good but didn't really live up to the hype. It was loud, service was meh and the food was good but also super heavy. The ice creams were okay but there is an apple dutch ice cream and pie plate advertised and not served. This was a bummer because it was part of the reason we went there. Our serverwas pretty hard pressing us for drinks. I'm not sure if it's because we were sat at the tables by the bar but that wasn't our choice. We had a reservation for 6pm, arrived timely and sat around 6:20pm. Our food came out pretty quickly and we were able to make it to our show on time.

Old school Chicago restaurant with a large selection of American food and great cocktail options served by workers in classic Chicago style. We came for lunch and it was packed, so I'd recommend making a reservation vs walking in. The buffalo chicken sandwich and the BLT were amazing, the portions and side of fries were huge and one easily would feed two people. They also have good bourbon drinks, bartenders are not rookies by any means. Coming for brunch or dinner are both great as the menu fits either need, can't wait to come back for the burger. At least 10 came out of the kitchen as we were there.

Came for lunch, got seated right away in the bar area and really enjoyed our experience. Our server, Ting, was very attentive, and we ordered the everything Parkerhouse rolls, and the beat Bobby Flay fish and chips. Both of them came out piping hot and fresh. They make the rolls to order and Really are perfection!

Absolutely amazing food and drinks with a nice heavy pour! The burrata and the prosciutto & fried egg pizza are must trys! The wait for the dining room was long so we sat at the bar but I feel like we got the best seat in the house....high top table in front of the big open patio with a great view of the street. The bar area in general has great seating, so just pop over if the wait is too long!

Great service, great food, great ambiance! What more can I say? Tried the bone marrow for the first time was so delicious as well as the fish ceviche, melt in your mouth! The burger Wellington was something I’d never tried before (only ever had beef Wellington) but it was so delicious! The peaches peaches peaches cocktail was amazing! The ‘how do you like them apples’ cocktail was just ok. All in all fantastic date night out! I’d come again!

A hang out spot, a date night rendezvous or a private event, The Dearborn had all these vibes when I stopped in for dinner with my family. Reservations suggested but I was lucky to nab a table for what looked to be a very busy Wednesday night. Bar was packed, dining room was 90% full. Great energy and everyone was having a good time, you could hear it. Didn't mind as we were there to soak in the vibe and to eat! The Dearborn Burger (added a fried egg) was the best burger I've had in Chicago thus far. Notable mentions: the duck and foie gras dumplings, and the Wellington Burger. Pastry shell was so savory and delicious, I could eat that any day! This spot has the best Fish n' Chips per the menu and it Beat Bobby Flay. Congrats!

We had a lovely time celebrating my teenager’s birthday. I called ahead to reserve a table of 5, and was warmly and swiftly taken care of. The food was delicious, the ambient laid back yet fancy, the server (Angelo) was efficient, kind, and friendly, and finally, in the end Amy, one of the owners came to congratulate my daughter and thank us. A kind touch! I highly recommend this location.

Have been meaning to eat here for some time. I'm glad we were able to finally cross it off the restaurant list. Visited during the week for 1p lunch. Great atmosphere... we were seated within minutes. Service was attentive. For it to have been a full house during the lunch rush, the food came out really quick. The drink was good and hit the spot, turn it to happy hour really quick. The food was literally finger licking good. We are adding this to places to visit.
