My husband brought me here and what a wonderful experience!
The dishes were made with high-quality, fresh ingredients, and the flavors were truly exceptional. I especially loved the small plates — beautifully presented and amazing quality for the price.
I ordered the schnitzel and WOW! One of the best I’ve had in the States since visiting Europe. The sauce and side salad really elevate the dish, definitely their signature touch.
Amazing desserts. I do not think this place is expensive at all.
It was a little cold inside, but overall the ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend!

A charming Alpine-inspired spot with an ever changing menu. We sat on the patio which was charming and casual, and they have heaters for when the weather cools down. We started with the cheese plate, the cheese offering was generous but could’ve benefited from more accoutrements.
The potato latkes were good but so fried that there was not much potato taste, but the consistency was great. The peach pork belly was the BEST thing we had, absolutely phenomenal and so, so tender. The pork schnitzel was good but by the time it arrived, we were full and didn’t make much progress.
Overall the food here was good, with the pork belly being the standout. I would return for a glass of wine and a small bite but may not return for a full meal.

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. TD&S serves consistently good food, with some must-have staples (schnitzel, beef cheek croquettes, etc.) and a rotating, inventive seasonal menu. They offer charcuterie spreads, small plates, and larger plates – great for sharing. They have a great happy hour too. The wine list is exceptional – they care deeply about wine and it shows. The patio is lovely, but the interior is very cozy as well. And of course, excellent service.

Such an awesome find! Bf and I randomly decided to go here when we were in the area and wowza! Love that they have a seasonal menu and they had a good array of vegetarian options which made me so happy! Bf got the schnitzel, I got the zucchini risotto. We both loved our dishes and we also split a cheese and the chickpea eggplant dip – 10/10. Will be back and highly recommend you go!

A little funky neighborhood place that really surprises with the food. Excellent selections and preparation. We had the charcuterie platter and it was as good as I have had. The beet salad was good, but did not pack the punch of the other dishes. The schnitzel.and the white asparagus were both very good. The wine list was small. For dessert we had the pea mousse. Give it a try. Service was exceptional. Very helpful people. I wish I lived closer by.

Outstanding experience. The cocktails were delicious with the right amount of liquor and mixers. We got the patio seating and absolutely loved it. Service was great. We got the potato latkes and the fava bean dip. They were both amazing. So glad to have run into this place and I can’t wait to return.

Cool, eclectic and fun at Table, Donkey and Stick. The food was amazing and the service was superb by Aidan and Joel. We enjoyed the Beets & Blackberries, Fresh Corn Salad, Grilled Peaches and Green Beans, Fried Polenta, Pan Seared Fjord Trout, Pappardelle, Spaghetti Alla Chitarra and the Blueberry Lemon Parfait. All were delicious and well presented. A really good time.

Went for a birthday and restaurant week. In at least eleven years, the best Chicago restaurant week experience we’ve ever had. Smart restaurant basically does their regular thing and they did it well. Loved the house made sausage, papardelle, and the simple elegance of the charcuterie course. Drinks very good nice eclectic bar collection. Service a little stretched but team coverage worked in the end. Our second time here now thinking it’ll be more of a regular … we are really jaded and it takes a lot for us to truly enjoy a dinner like this one.
