I never rate things, but this place is unusually good. I ordered the quiche with salad and it was the best quiche I've ever had. Sometimes you have things that aren't just good, but good in a way where you didn't realize that what you had could be like that. The menu said all that was in the quiche was thyme. And when you looked at the cross section of the quiche they weren't lying - it was flat, creamy off white. The texture was smooth and extremely satisfying. The crust made me want to try their bread. The salad was greens with a very light dressing and salt, it tasted perfect. Check this place out.
Absolutely a favorite place to eat! and calm down a bit from the world. The food is laconically described and brilliantly executed. The vibe and service are low-key elegant. A perfect concept.
Overall the experience was positive. We ordered five dishes and two drinks. The flavor of the mackerel was fantastic, strongly recommend pair with the bread they make. However the lettuce dish, when I cut the stem and ate that, it was not well washed and was full of dirt ( it was not the texture of the pistachio and breadcrumbs). When we asked the server for recommendations, he recommended the peppers and mackerel. But 30 mind later, when another couple sat a seat from us the server recommended completely different dishes (the radish and pork loin) as his favorites. Im not sure why there’s a such a drastic difference? Gelato is a must have
Intriguing and enjoyable evening. Plenty of "funky" wine and food. Loved the ambiance and seasonal menu. Server tried to describe the menu but kept it pretty high level since it changes so often. Enjoyed trying many different flavors. Olives, sausage and wine were great. Scallops, mussels were different and probably wouldn't order again. All in all a great neighborhood place to check out.
great food & great service! their bib gourmand award is well deserved.
I just ate the best burger I have ever eaten. I’ve never had a burger this good, and I eat a lot of burgers. I come here for special occasions and it is always fantastic. Perfect food, service, and atmosphere :) if you are in Chicago you have to visit cellar door.
Watching Chef Ethan in action made us want everything on the menu that we didn’t order and the things we did order were as delicious as you can imagine! The staff were equally as awesome. We’ll be back to try all of the other dishes.
Super cool/trendy spot with an amazing bottle selection (from their shop next door) and great wines by the glass. Would be a great date spot. Their snacks are really tasty and there are vegetarian/vegan options! (Also check out the shop next door)
Quaint, fresh and delicious. New and delectable recipes and food combinations. Most everything is freshly made on the premises, including the crusty rustic rye bread. My steak tartare was filled with intriguing flavors and very fresh meat. The charred broccoli was graced with a special creamy garlic sauce that was deliciously out of this world.
We came in the morning after hearing about their wonderful pastry program. Needless to say we were not disappointed. The buckwheat kouign amann in particular deserves special attention as practically every technical aspect (caramelized bottom, dough lamination) was perfect. Don't leave without one!
Delicious, vegetable-forward meal in a cozy (but not cramped) environment. Everyone in our party loved the bread plate, and the radicchio ice cream was surprising and tasty.
Absolutely wonderful baked goods and small tasting menu purveyor, using abundant local produce. The breads (and spreads) are a particular highlight, with a perfect crust and density inside!
