Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Old Town

Lex our server was fabulous from start to finish! He explained the starters and entrees beautifully. We got the braised short ribs which were flavorful and tender just as described. It was our first time, from the host warmly greeting us while they gave the kids a stuffie each. The girls ordered from the kids menu which gave them a beautiful mug to take home! The fairy that went our granting wishes was truly magical! And to top it all off they took complimentary family photo to remember the outing. Definitely will be back and start a new family Christmas tradition! Thank you again Lex and staff for making it a very special and memorable evening!

everything from the bar to the dinning area's is old school and perfect. the only bad thing is the restrooms are upstairs, reason to burn some calories after such an amazing meal!!!

I recently dined at the Ralph Lauren Restaurant in Chicago and had an exceptional experience. Our server, John, was truly spectacular—attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made sure our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. We were lucky to have a beautiful window view, which added to the overall ambiance and made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was exquisite, and the elegant setting made for a memorable evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or a lovely night out in the city!

Always a great experience for Holiday Tea at The Drake! We've been coming here for 20+ years. Last couple of times Amir was our server and he's exceptional.. always kind, smiling, and excellent service. Bojan the manager was very kind and accommodating and is a great addition to the Drake team. See you next year!!
