Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Downtown / Loop

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Acanto! The ambiance, service, food and wine were all excellent! I proposed to my (now) fiancée and they went above and beyond to ensure that we had a perfect romantic experience. Thank you Patti, Cassandra, and the rest of the staff for your help making this a great memory we will always have!

We went here after getting married at city hall and the staff made this such a wonderful experience! They put flowers at our table and wrote us a handwritten card with complimentary Prosecco. Great service and food, and they were accommodating to our party of 12. Would recommend to anyone!

My partner and I dined here on Valentine's Day - the host was super friendly and the restaurant accommodated us when we were stuck in heavy traffic due to the snow. Omar, our server, was very nice and the service was great. The food came out quick and was soooo yummy! The spaghetti carbonara and chicken were so good! Would totally go here again :)

Food was amazing the lamb chops were well seasoned the lobster Mac and cheese was a1 good cheese pull lobster was fresh

Wonderful pre-show dinner while sitting at the bar. The bartenders suggested a refreshing AF drink, and delectable choices from the menu. I even got a rose since it was Valentine’s Day!
