Chesterton​の高級料理店

Amazing food, the service in the end was very good but I feel like they rushed us in the beginning in selecting our food. And At the price point of the restaurant they should have offered us a sommelier from the beginning when they saw we had an interest in wine. I asked for the sommelier but he never came and then I had ti ask again so there was a delay in getting our wine paired with the appetizers. I feel like the staff is very young and need more communication and coordination for the type of restaurant. But I was So happy with the food it made up for everything.

Pizza Portofino went above and beyond for our family visiting Chicago from Ohio. We mistakenly did not consider the time change booking the reservation at home for 4:00pm arriving to Chicago looking for my reservation and it said 5:00pm. They did not even hesitate to help our party get seated within 10 minutes service amazing food with excellent service and we were out of there to get to our show in time. I can’t thank them enough for saving our amazing dinner at a restaurant. We visited several times now while we’re in Chicago. Will tell others about this amazing restaurant and be back when we visit again.

There is nothing like Christmas at the Walnut Room. The tree, the wonderful people sprinkling fairy dust, the themed desserts, the decorations, the nostalgia..... EVERYTHING. I went as a little girl and bring back generations as an adult. It makes me teary being there. Our waitress was great. Reservations right on time. The food..ehh..it is not why you go. Burger was nothing special and the fries were literally cold,cold not even just cold. Most people get the pot pie and salad. I should have tried something a little daring but was in the mood for a burger. It was a smashburger. Next year I will go with the chicken dish! I love it here at Christmas, it is Chicago. So glad they brought back the collector mugs

il Carciofo is BEAUTIFUL. It’s open and airy and has great classic Chicago Italian restaurant vibes but in a modern open space. The food is amazing. Classic dishes like carbonara and handmade pastas that are simple but done at an exceptionally high level and quality. It felt warm and homey but still so creative. Must gets: - Carciofo Alla Guida - maybe the coolest and unique preparation of artichokes I’ve ever had. Delicious and lemony and crispy. - Pesce Spada Crudo - Joe Flamm does crudo better than anyone and I’ll fight you on that - Rigatoni Alla Carbonara - the perfect al dente rigatoni with the most luxurious eggy guanciale carbonara Can’t wait to be back to try many, many more things on this menu.

Everything we tried was delicious. Definitely coming back with more people.
