- CCatherineChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our first time traveling to Chicago and we were looking for a nice dinner spot, and Summer House was a suggested restaurant. Others had also recommended Summer House. My kids and I were so impressed!!!! The atmosphere, the food, and the service was beyond amazing! I ordered soft tacos, my daughter ordered a grilled chicken dish, and my son ordered a burger, and everything was absolutely delicious. And, to top it off, we ordered three amazing desserts. Would 100% recommend for families, couples, and friends!More infoSummer House - ChicagoPrice: Moderate• American• Lincoln Park•4.6
- NNanditaVIPChicago / Illinois •17 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFirst time trying the Aba Happy hour food! The spreads sampler gave us a chance to try them all and the Crispy chicken had the perfect crispy skin and heat from the different peppers! Falafels and shrimp were really good. Carrot cake was overly spiced and a bit dry so going to skip that next time!More infoAba - ChicagoPrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• West Loop•4.8

The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—I couldn’t get enough of the hamachi crudo. Every bite felt like it was made with care and top-quality ingredients. The service truly stood out. Our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They even helped us pick the perfect wine to go with our meal, which took the experience to another level. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and service that makes you feel like a VIP, Oakville Grill and Cellar is it. I’m already planning my next visit!More infoThe Oakville Grill & CellarPrice: Expensive• American• West Loop•4.7
