Moody Tongue Brewing Company

Excellent service by John for party of 8 holiday dinner. Great pacing and recommendations including how many dishes per person. Would recommend the pear & andive salad, seared Hokkaido scallops, and key lime bar (dessert). Warm and non-rushed atmosphere.

The venue feels business casual but slightly upscale. They have a very novel and delicious collection of beers and cocktails. They are known for their Chocolate cake, which I ordered, but did not like. Their butter cream has a texture similar to frosting. So if you do not like frosting do not order the cake or expect to slice off the four layers that come into contact with the butter cream. Despite my taste preferences the cake is a true work of art. However I think the craft beer menu, being so unique, is much more of an enticing reason to visit.

Nice addition to the South Loop dining scene. The build your own beer flight is always is solid choice. Birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations would be ideal here because the menu is meant to be a shared experience. Market fish was cooked perfectly but there’s bones (usually the case with full fish at restaurants) so be mindful when digging in if you’re not familiar. Worth checking out!

Could not ask for a better experiance. Our waiter was personable, knowledgable and gave great recomendations. Had the 1st scotch barrel beer that I actually really liked. Great beer pairings to go with the food. The Manila Clam & Pork Belly Chowda was definitely my favorite dish but all dishes were amazing.

While the restaurant offered quality dishes, it fell short of being memorable or providing a truly unique dining experience. It's a good choice for those who prefer more salty flavors and are interested in beer pairings. This establishment, known as a brewing house, is famous for its beer. So, we also added a beer pairing, which was excellent. However, my personal taste in beer is limited, and I regret that I couldn't fully appreciate the beer's quality. The tasting menu is priced at $285 per person (with an additional 20% compulsory service fee), and the portions are definitely ample! While the quality is good, it lacks the wow factor compared to other fine dining Michelin-starred restaurants. After the meal, they offer each guest a bottle of their home-brewed beer as a souvenir, which is a thoughtful touch! The food overall was satisfactory, with no major disappointments. The flavors lean towards the salty side. Here are some dishes I particularly enjoyed: 1. The snacks as appetizers were presented in a large plant-like arrangement. The beautiful presentation contained numerous bite-sized delights. 2. The Uni + custard duck was delicious, featuring the unique taste of sea urchin in a delicate custard. 3. The White asparagus was tender and paired well with a panna cotta pudding, offering a rich layer of flavors. 4. The Lobster was incredibly tender, but the portion was a bit small. 5. The Lamb was soft and not at all gamey, which was very tasty.
