We’ve been here multiple times for birthday brunches and it’s always been so much fun!! Bottomless mimosas for 2 hours and a great DJ playing Latin music on Sunday’s. The staff is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful. The owners really went all out on making this place look vibrant and fun.
Pictured is the Cochinita Benedict which is unique with the esquite fritter. We’ve also had the avocado toast, guacamole, coconut French toast and Churroulette (careful one has habanero!) and all were good!!
I definitely recommend this place for a fun date, girl’s night or birthday event!!!

Went for Sunday brunch for my sister’s birthday. They had an awsome DJ. Drinks were strong and delicious. I tried the margarita flight. They also had bottomless mimosas. They even brought out a birthday sash and crown for my sister!!

I had high hopes for brunch here, but unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.
From the moment we were seated, things felt off. Our party of seven was placed at a high-top table that honestly didn’t seem sturdy enough to hold us all comfortably. Between the wobbling table and a chair that felt like it was about to give out, I spent most of the meal worried about whether I’d end up on the floor.
The service was painfully slow. We’re talking an hour and a half just to get a burger — during a brunch service that has a 2–2.5 hour table limit. That’s unacceptable. Drinks were no better. After waiting and waiting with no sign of our server, I eventually had to go up to the bar myself just to get something to drink. Throughout the experience, it felt like the staff had little interest in the customer experience.
As for the food, it was underwhelming at best. My meal arrived cold and completely unseasoned — bland, uninspired, and definitely not worth the price. For a place that seems to pride itself on being trendy and in-demand, the quality simply doesn’t match the hype.
The atmosphere didn’t help either. The music was obnoxiously loud, blasting from giant speakers that made it nearly impossible to have a conversation. While I’ll give credit where it’s due — the DJ was actually very good — the volume level completely overpowered any chance of enjoying brunch with friends.
Overall, this felt like an overpriced, overhyped spot that’s more focused on being trendy than delivering good food or service. Sadly, I won’t be back.
$500+ wasted

My husband took me here for Valentine’s Day dinner, it was fantastic. The service was the best, Jessica our server was amazing and the manager stopped by to speak to us a few times. There was live music and amazing food, great drinks. We will definitely plan on going back with friends for a dinner date.

A Valentine’s Day to Remember!

We came here for Valentine’s Day, and WOW—what an unforgettable experience! From the incredible food to the top-tier hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. The management and staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time.

Now, about the food…

Korean Tacos – Bursting with flavor, these were an instant favorite.

Rattlesnake Burger – The perfect balance of heat and savoriness, with sauces that elevate every bite. My only wish? A little more spice! If you order something called “Rattlesnake” and don’t expect a bite, that’s on you.

Yes, you might see reviews mentioning slow service, but here’s the real deal: management here is ON IT. If you need anything, they make it happen.

Huge thanks to the team for making our day so special—we’ll definitely be back!

I originally went to Tabu for brunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday and instantly fell in love with the venue — it’s so cute! Their brunch menu is amazing. The coconut French toast is definitely a must-try!

I went back to try their dinner options but the camera did not eat first this time… I can confidently say that every plate I’ve tried has been great. The food never misses!

Apart from the food, the music and customer service are always on point. I love coming here with friends, but it’s also one of my favorite solo spots.

From brunch, to dinner, to nightlife experience 10/10 — highly recommend Tabu!

Dinner at Tabu with my girlfriend was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone — warm lighting, upbeat music, and an effortlessly stylish vibe that made the night feel special but still relaxed.

I ordered the steak frites, and it was absolutely on point — perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The fries were crispy with just the right amount of seasoning, and the presentation was sleek without being over the top. I also tried their new peppercorn Paloma, which turned out to be a total standout. It had that perfect balance of spice, citrus, and smooth tequila — definitely one of the best cocktails I’ve had in Chicago lately.

I had brunch there, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The food selection was delicious and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was great! However, what truly stood out was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole meal even more enjoyable. This place has quickly become one of my new favorites, and I’m already looking forward to returning for dinner soon. And to top it all off, the decor was simply breathtaking – a wow factor that added to the overall charm of the restaurant. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Enjoyed brunch here on a Saturday. Got there right when they opened and it wasn’t crowded. Service was quick and servers were friendly. The lobster flautas were soooo good, and I don’t typically like lobster. We also go the trio salsa and enjoyed that. We both got tacos, I got the Que-FC and my husband got the Pork Belly. They were not the best tacos we’ve ever had but they were still tasty. I’d love to go back and try some of their other menu items. The restaurant itself was decorated super cute and I loved the atmosphere!
