Food was superb - every dish had a depth of flavor that made it tough to share like a grown up.
Service was also great, constant attention to our table, and our server was fun and engaging.
We were really excited to try Pacific Standard Time & it did not disappoint! Our server Erin was excellent! Food was sublime! 1979 bread was amazing! Great new addition to Chicago's food scene!
One word sums it up... Marvelous! The food was innovative and delicious. The service was top notch (thanks to Seth). Wine selection was diverse and reasonably priced. Can't wait to return. So much more on that menu that I want to experience.
We had a good time here, and enjoyed the food. I put 4 stars out of 5 because I thought it was a little too pricey for what it was, and there were also a few spiders on the ceiling which probably can't be helped, but freaked me out so I wanted to leave.
But the food was good and the staff was very informed and attentive. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. We got the avocado salad, ribs, and a pizza.
What an amazing dinner. Everything was delicious. I would say that all my favorite dishes were the salads and vegetables. The ricotta gnocchi was amazing and gluten free for my friend. We shared the trout as an appetizer and it was HUGE. I would say Chicago portions are very different from California portions, so you could easily serve 3-4 people with that dish, especially if you want to share any of the other amazing dishes on the menu. The space was chill, had a great vibe with a nice buzz of happy people. Go. It won't disappoint.
Very solid breakfast. Everything was absolutely delicious. The butter milk bread was so fluffy, the avocado toast had a lovely extra virgin olive oil taste, and the duck confit hash was amazing. So full. So happy. It is a lovely ambiance, very nice, bright, and comfortable layout. The staff was great.
Not really a surprise, but Pacific Standard Time is genuinely great. Imminently shareable dishes throughout, plus an excellent valued Market Menu if you're extra hungry. The seafood and vegetables offerings are the best offerings; the only miss for me was the pork chop. Combine with a comfortable interior and seating, worth many visits!
Our experience at Pacific Standard Time was wonderful. We arrived a little earlier than our reservation time so waited at the bar and enjoyed a delicious hibiscus margarita. A hostess came to find us at the bar and brought us to our table still well before our reservation time. The server was friendly and guided us through the menu and made good suggestions. Every dish was delicious and the flavors melded together nicely. The ahi tuna crudo was fresh and delicious. The brussels sprouts were beyond tasty and each ingredient in the dish brought a different texture component. Would definitely recommend making a reservation in advance and dining at PST!
Beautiful decor and great service.
The dishes we ordered (Eggs Benedict and the French Toast) were not really good, but it seems like other dishes that past near our table could have been a better choice. Do we will come back to try.
This is a highly designed interior and it's beautiful and comfortable. The menu is supposed to represent California cuisine. Lots of fish, meat, and salads, with pizza and bread too. Everything was fresh. Some of the meat was overcooked. A lot of the foods are heavy on the acid and fats which is OK but not if you get too many in a row. Loved dessert, loved the service. Recommend the market menu for a great experience.
Lovely! Clearly well deserving of the James beard design award. Light and airy in design and food menu. Everything was delicious and seasonal and perfectly put together. Friendly and knowledgeable server on top made for an excellent lunch. Will be back.
Our meal was excellent. Our waitress, Jazmin, was very helpful even though my mother in law was rude (I'm so sorry). She helped us with a question about the wine menu, and another waiter was happy to explain a delicious looking dish we saw going by. We were also seated next to the kitchen and got to see all the pizzas and pitas going in and out.
