Best Cozy Restaurants in Old Irving Park

Definitely a go to place. Food and cocktails were excellent. Parking a bit challenging.

It’s not worth the hype. There’s better ramen in the city.

Great food, everything was delicious. We live close by and have been here a couple of times, love that they have a community table for walk ins since reservations are hard to get. I have a cough and jokingly asked if they could make me a hot toddy. After initially saying no, they procured the ingredients and surprised me with one, which I thought was super extra!

Absolutely outstanding! This restaurant has some of the best Mediterranean flavors I’ve ever experienced. The Lavraki was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside, with just the right touch of seasoning. The beet salad was a fresh and vibrant masterpiece, beautifully balanced with flavors and textures. The Tzatziki was creamy, tangy, and the perfect complement to the meal. And don’t even get me started on the baklava— frozen yogurt, crispy pastry sheets, honey with just the right amount of sweetness to end the meal on a high note. From start to finish, the food was impeccable, and the service was warm and attentive. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to some of the best and hardest restaurants to get into in. This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Completely blown away. The flavors were very unique. The spice was perfect. If I’m being picky though the waiter didn’t ask us one time how the food was. Not much conversation. I understand how crazy busy it is but there should be something other than taking our order. He was really nice though. I already made 2 more reservations. 😂
