   My visit to Eden in Chicago left me underwhelmed, particularly as someone who appreciates authentic, farm-to-table dining experiences. When a restaurant emphasizes its commitment to quality ingredients, I expect consistency and an unwavering dedication to excellence. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The orange juice was not freshly squeezed, and the eggs seemed lackluster, lacking the rich flavor I associate with higher-quality sources. Additionally, the use of Monin syrups was disappointing; while convenient, these syrups don’t match the depth and freshness of house-made alternatives. Crafting your own syrups not only elevates beverages but also reflects a deeper connection to seasonal, local ingredients that enhance the entire dining experience. The water service also raised questions. In an era where quality water is essential to both taste and health, I was surprised to find only tap water offered. Investing in a filter system would show a commitment to the high standards one expects from a farm-to-table restaurant and would significantly enhance the dining experience. The ambiance also fell short of expectations. I was hoping for a warm, inviting atmosphere that mirrored the essence of a true farm-to-table establishment. Instead, the vibe felt impersonal, missing that cozy touch of genuine hospitality. While Eden has potential, there are key areas where it could improve to align better with its mission and the expectations of patrons who cherish fresh, thoughtfully prepared meals.

   We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday with a group of 8 and we ordered a number of dishes to share. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed our meal!

   We chose Eden because of a Condé Nast article that put it into the top 29 restaurants in Chicago. Front of house and waitstaff were exceptional. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the hype. It was mostly very good but not memorable. Red Crab bucatini lacked balance and compatible flavor profiles. The hamachi crudo was so salty we had to send it back. The 2nd version was much better and properly balanced. Brussels Sprouts and Carrots were on point and stood out from the rest. Quality of meat in the burger was very good. Gnocchi was interesting but not memorable. Dessert course was excellent. Overall, a respectable restaurant that will need to step it up a notch in order to compete with the top tier.

   I hesitate to let everyone know how fabulous Eden is, but that's a bit selfish. EVERYTHING on the menu (and our group ordered a lot of different items) was perfectly cooked, creative and layered with flavor. The service, as always was outstanding, the cocktails were delicious and everyone seems committed to making sure you enjoy the evening (or lunch or brunch).
