I visited for lunch and really enjoyed my meal, as well as the service. I didn’t drink but the tap list looked healthy with lots of local Chicago craft. The food was awesome! Every Steak has its Thorn or Every Rose has its Steak. I can’t remember the name, but it was on point. 4 roses was in the mix of the meal and the Philly Cheese Steak style presentation was great. Looks like a good date spot or hangout. The ambiance and decor add to the food and service.

Great place for a casual couple dinner night out in the large lighted outdoors patio or hangout with friends indoors in the dining or bar area. The kitchen is open late on Sunday night. We got a table outside, quiet and pretty ambience. Parking available on the street. Bike stand available. The service was great. Young guy patient and kind. It may seem prices are slightly high but the food huge and includes sides. We were impressed. Food: Fried Cheese Curds - lightly perfectly fried, gooey and cheesy delicious. Nada Burger - is the next level GOURMET VEGAN burger!!! It includes the impossible burger with lettuce, tomatoes, thick mix of caramelized onions and mushrooms, and one large fried onion ring with balsamic drizzle. This was a gourmet vegan burger that I have not seen anything like this. It made it worth it to order this vegan burger (I am vegetarian) instead of a simple vegan burger with just tomato and lettuce. Buffalos Cauliflower Wrap - GREAT BALANCE of flavors with crispy cauliflower and tangy buffalo sauce with veggies. Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse - YUM! Prefer size dessert for two people (or even for one person). Drinks: Extensive Beer options include 2 or 3 Non-alcoholic Beer selections.

All the dishes looked great here! It took me way too long to make a decision like the house of Congress. You walk in and the ambience is unique unto itself. It is darker than a normal restaurant which is really great for the circadian rhythm at night time or a great date night. They also, as pictured, have multiple homages to dragons. As a kid that grew up on Dragonball Z and later graduated to Game of Thrones I enjoyed it. I ended up getting the Elvis burger which is peanut butter, bacon, sweet plantains and a pepper jelly. The jelly was a perfect mix of heat and sweet like Sofía Vergara in Modern Family. Celina ended up getting the Nada burger that is the impossible burger with sticky bbq mushrooms and bourbon onions. That’s right you could get drunk off the onions. We both highly recommend the sweet potato fries. Not enough restaurants offer this as an option and sometimes the ones that do, fail on the crispness of the fry. I am happy to report the crispness of these fries is immaculate.
