Best Wine Bars in South Loop

We came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.

Acanto never disappoints. The service, ambiance, wine, and food were fabulous! What a great crew! Angelica was the best server ever. The sommelier was knowledgeable and shared her love of wines. The expediting and bus staff were quiet and efficient. All good.

We've been to Sunday Roasts in London and Ireland so we didn't know what to expect in Chicago. It EXCEEDED our expectations. We all had the Sunday Roast, so we can't speak about any other meal. The food was all delicious. It was enough to fill us, but not enough to make us uncomfortable. Everything was cooked to perfection and required no extra seasoning. We shared several desserts and loved every single one of them (sorbet, apple jack sundae, sticky toffe pudding - OMG - and the peanut butter louis). Would highly highly highly recommend Hawksmoor Chicago.

The wait staff were amazing. Our server gave great descriptions and suggestions for ordering. The family style service provided a great opportunity to taste and try a very tasty variety of starters and main dishes. We had a large group of 12-6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from about 17 months to 17 years of age. Drinks and food came out as they were ready and gave everyone plenty of time to enjoy. The venue has a warm and welcoming vibe in sync with the warm and welcoming staff. Looking forward to our next visit!

The noise level does not allow me to rate it as, to damn loud ! Otherwise great food and service. Our waitress was outstanding. Support staff on top of everything. Food was delicious. We entered when there were just 4 tables occupied. As the evening progressed and noise level rosé, I noticed the music volume was turned up. As more tableau were filled, music turned up further. Why ? To motivatie people not to linger in order to turn over tables quicker ? As much as we enjoyed everything else. Not sure if we will return to all that noise which the restaurant creaties by continually increasing volume of music
