Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, the server remained attentive and made sure our needs were met, which really stood out. The food overall was excellent, with every dish tasting fresh and well-prepared. The non-alcoholic drinks were especially impressive — refreshing, creative, and perfectly paired with the meal. The atmosphere was lively and fun, made even better by the cheers coming from the stadium across the street while the game played on their big screens inside. It created such a unique energy, combining the feel of being at the ballpark with the comfort of dining out.

The place itself is beautiful, spacious, and well-designed, making it a fantastic spot for both casual outings and special occasions. Service was not only friendly but also efficient, even with the crowd. The oysters were a real highlight — fresh, flavorful, and easily some of the best I’ve had. Altogether, it’s an outstanding spot right by the ballpark, perfect for sports fans and food lovers alike.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday, expecting it to be a special and memorable evening. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be quite disappointing due to the service we received.
Our server forgot to bring our entrée and even my Diet Pepsi, and the restaurant was not busy at the time. What made the situation more frustrating was the feeling that our table simply was not a priority. Throughout the evening, the server appeared much more attentive to his other two tables while ours was repeatedly overlooked.
I normally believe in rewarding good service and typically leave a 20–35% tip. Despite the experience, I still chose to leave a 15% tip out of kindness, although the level of service honestly did not reflect that.
Celebrating a milestone like a 21st birthday should feel welcoming and special, and unfortunately the service made the evening uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. I hope management takes feedback like this seriously, as attentive and consistent service is essential to creating a positive dining experience.
Because of this experience, I would not return.

Overall the food is just ok, it’s expensive for what you get but the location makes up for it if you have an event at Wrigley.

Highly recommend the Pimento Cheese was great (5/5), it’s covered in honey and was served with a ton of chips.

I ordered the Tavern Burger (1/5) and it was just two frozen patty’s that lacked any real flavor. For a $20 burger I would expect more, it also had these super tart pickles on it that completely took over the burger flavor.

Also the Avocado Tartine should have been called the ricotta Tartine, it was 90% cheese with barely any avocado. It looked nice but was basically just cheese on a piece of bread.

I def recommend the bloody Mary tho, it was spicy and really good. We probably ordered the wrong things as others have written great reviews for food, we just didn’t love what we got.

Great lunch menu! The pimento cheese app is delish. The burger was also top notch.

Service is a little slow, but still an enjoyable atmosphere and time

We started off with the cheese curds, which unfortunately is the best thing we had. The curds were nothing special. But, the sauce it came with was good.

The steak was not good. Lacked flavor unless you count the charred outside.

The tavern burger was average. The bun fell apart after the first bite or so.

The Brussel sprouts were okay. The seasoning was good. But it was cooked for too long

Food was okay, but in my opinion not worth the price.

I liked the payment system. You can pay through your phone and don’t have to wait for the check.

The happy hour was worth it. The oysters were fresh and delicious! Only thing is that they didn’t have Tabasco sauce to go with them but crystal hot was good too!

My friends and I went here for the Bears game and the atmosphere was nice. I had the cheese curds and rigatoni and it was amazing, I would highly recommend ordering those items. The other bar food such as the pretzel bites and French fries weren’t that appetizing. I wish their bar food was better especially for game days but it’s fine.

I had the crispy rock shrimp for a starter and they were fantastic. The sauce that came with them was very good. For the main course I got the steak frites and they were easily the most tender steak I’ve ever had. Very very good! The staff was very attentive too and friendly. Highly recommend.

Our server Mika was amazing! She was very kind and attentive. However, the food was subpar. We had the cheese curds, Caesar salad, and Bolognese. Again, while the service was wonderful, the food left us feeling we could’ve made better at home.

The food, overall was really good. The non-alcoholic drinks were amazing. I didn’t like their grilled zucchini, I tried and couldn’t get into it. But when I told my server as much, he took it back, gave me the fries I requested and didn’t charge me for the zucchini.

The fries were really delicious, and that’s saying something for fries! The half chicken had a different presentation than I expected but it was so tender and seasoned. I loved the oysters and wish I’d gotten more!

The place is beautiful and it was nice to hear the cheers from the stadium across the street while watching the game on their screens. It was a great atmosphere and I’d probably go back again on a non game night so I don’t have to walk 10 minutes to get an Uber.
