Restaurants near Loyola University Museum of Art

The food and presentation is simply divine and delicious! Service was wonderful and everyone was VERY customer oriented.

Alpana is a lovely, one-of-a-kind space with outstanding food and attentive, friendly service. We had an exceptional meal which included the polenta with mushrooms, crispy brussels sprouts with saba (so good!), hearty mushroom ravioli and perfectly cooked salmon--and of courser, an excellent bottle of wine. Everything is so good yet the ambience is anything but pretentious - it's a bit like being at the best dinner party ever (that just happens to be in a stylish restaurant).

The restaurant was crowded. Yet the noise level was not overpowering. The greeters at the check-in were friendly. Our server, Peter Axelsen was awesome!!! He recommended a mocktail that was the best drink ever. We appreciated the restaurant managers stopping by our table to check on us twice. The food was superb.

Every aspect was superb. Wonderful staff, excellent food, magnificent setting and ambience… just all around a wonderful experience. Their Michelin star was definitely earned and they’ve maintained that standard. It can be a bit noisy, but that should be expected when you create an atmosphere of pure enjoyment. Definitely make a reservation and treat yo’ self!

Food excellent as always, and our server was very helpful. The turkey French dip, my go to sandwich, was delicious. Great take on a classic. It can get a bit loud at lunchtime.
