Many reasons that I love this place... I usually travel to Chicago alone but always manage to find a bar spot here, my longest wait for someone to get up was about 5 min, even on a busy weekend night. Bartenders are pros and do justice to classics, Martinis, Manhattans, Cosmo, whatever. Food is always outstanding, although a la carte is not my favorite... It's not about cost, I'd just rather leave pairing of sides to the professionals. I wish they'd correct that. But the attraction is the ambiance... dark, hip, cool, and even a bit romantic making me regret traveling alone. So many great restaurants in Chicago but Gilt is always a must for me. Always leave wanting to tell someone about it, so... there you have it.
Couldn't ask for anything more regarding service.
The food and ambience have always been outstanding. The general manager, Riley, she went above and beyond to make our experience great. She went out of her way and made a not so good situation into one that will bring us back multiple times over. Can't wait to eat here again!
Really the only down side was the main course portions are a bit less than what I expected. The pot roast was excellent, but the menu said it came with root vegetables. Root vegetables consisted of maybe 4 or 5 bits size chunks of carrots and 6 whole mini onions. The pot roast just fell apart so easy, tender and delicious with a great sauce!
meatball appetizer was good, carrot cake was good but not phenomenal.
Beef tartare was excellent, black Manhattan cocktail was perfect.
One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. The tartare, bone marrow, and mussels are enough to travel back to Chicago for. Don't skip the cocktails - they're perfect. I definitely recommend this place, just ensure you get there early to avoid a wait!
One of my favorite places in the city. Great atmosphere and great food. The lobster roll could give Maine a run for it's money. Give yourself a little time, and request to have a drink in the Library. It's a cozy speak easy in the basement with amazing drinks. You don't regret it
