Restaurants near IO Theater

Went for Santa Baby experience and it was AMAZING. I originally made reservations for the wrong date and it filled up- I was able to send a message and she changed the date for us (Thank you!!) When we checked in I was greeted with a birthday card signed by everyone (thank you!). All three stories were immersed in Christmas decoration. It wasn’t overly crowded, even for a Friday at 9pm. The drinks were good, service was 10/10. And as tiki bar lovers, we will be back next time we are in Chicago!

We got a larger group so we were upstairs and the value we paid for our food and drinks was very much worth it. The service was also excellent and the vibes were great!

The elegance of Swift and Sons but still a casual classy experience. Fairly priced menu based on overall quality and service, though the “meat-n-potatoes” entree prices compared to quantity seems higher than normal for Chicago steakhouses. For reuniting with friends on a Christmas weekend, overlooking a beautifully lit Wrigley Field for the season, it can’t be beat.

The igloos at Alma were so thoughtfully curated and seasonally fun! The smores lot that you got really made the experience! Our server Jackson was also so kind and helpful. We had a wonderful evening!

Pro's: Service was top tier and attentive. The ox ragu was phenomenal however that focaccia bread service hit the spot. Con: The Salmon came out ice cold, like not even room temp and lacked all flavor however it was cooked to perfection which confused us both. Overall I would go back again.
