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!
This place is 100% on point. The food, service and atmosphere are outstanding.
Excellent variety, great taste, farm to table food. Beet salad, mushroom pizza and flank steak were all delicious. Waitstaff very pleasant.
Our waiter Seth was amazing. He walked us through the menu and gave us amazing recommendations. He made the whole experience great. I just moved into the area so he made me a repeat customer. The new manager in the hat didn’t acknowledge me at all and walked around aggressively. Not smart since I’m a 640 N Wells resident. Seth actually stepped in and stole he Showa. Thanks Seth!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience. The restaurant had a comforting feel and the place was hopping. Our food and drinks were an exciting combination of flavors and soooo goooood. We will definitely be back for more.
Excellent service (thank you Hank), yummy food, chic decor and impressive wine list. Who could ask for more!
Top to bottom fantastic! From being seated right on time to drinks to dinner to DESSERT! All to die for, can’t wait to go back!

Amazing dining experience, can't wait to go back! New favorite restaurant!
Fantastic food and atmosphere...and that olive oil cake!
Nice informed wait and bar staff
Fantastic dining experience! Thanks to all involved
Awesome cocktails and pastas.
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.

I sat at the bar and had an incredible experience! Friendly bar staff guided my selections--they have a terrific wine list--well curated and fun! I absolutely loved the peas with burrata and the veal-filled pasta with mushrooms was an unctuous, delightful umami-bomb. The chocolate budino was a surprise with miso caramel and sesame seeds. HIGHLY recommended.
Very nice spot for a Sunday brunch with a friends groups or family in River North. They offer several traditional brunch options that are perfectly executed and decently priced. Both the avocado toast and the eggs Benedict were awesome! We also had an Okonomiyaki (Japanese salty pancakes) that matched well with a side of sweet sticky honey bun.
Tried this restaurant on a whim. Loved the ahi tuna appetizer, seared snapper, heritage chicken and the pineapple leches dessert. The lamb churrizo pizza and Concord grape sorbet was ok. Strongly recommend.
Fabulous dinner! Service was excellent from first call, to valet opening the door, to the check - great attention to detail! Amazing accommodation for those who are gluten free - house-made pita was delicious! Server Hank was friendly and made great recommendations - loved the black cod and swordfish! Will be back!
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. The design of the space is so detailed and beautiful, and the chef/owner's philosophy is fascinating. It feels like every moment of the experience has been intentionally designed. The food is also amazing.
Really good, straight-forward food in a space that feels like California. Went for brunch and had the pear and asiago cheese Danish (get it!), duck bahn mi (sweet Jesus- best I've ever had, had to keep my wife away from it) sticky bun (pictured) and breakfast pizza (dont judge us, this was a post- 5k meal!)
We thoroughly enjoyed everything.
Came for brunch on Sunday morning and loved it! We ordered a bunch of different items including the duck confit and the scramble and both great! Also had the pull apart rolls and they were amazing! 5/5 would recommend!
