Best Gastro Pubs in West Chicago

Food was great. Dawn, our server, was fun, friendly, and attentive. She was quick to make suggestions and took care of us at our pace. The place is good looking with a really nice bar as the centerpiece. We walked through the outdoor patio and bar area. Because of the time of year, it wasn’t set up, but looks like it’s a neat spot to hang out on warmer days. The tall ceilings, and hard surfaces, do bounce the noise around some. You definitely have to speak up when the place is full. All said, the food and service were great and the atmosphere is fun and vibrant. We will definitely be back!

The food was phenomenal, the staff are super kind, and the environment is just great. Loved it.

Our group of meat lovers, a young child and my vegan daughter all had a wonderful meal. Waitstaff was exceptional and very knowledgeable about the menu-both food and beverages. His suggestions were spot-on. Definitely worth the drive from Chicago for us. We will be back!

Always a wonderful experience! Oysters were a bit overly charred this time around but won’t hold it against them. Drinks were great! Branzino was amazing! Loved the brussel sprouts!

We always have a great time at Alter! Had a great beer paring dinner which was a fun and unique experience. The service is always excellent and the staff members are friendly.
