Best Restaurants for People Watching in Lincoln Park

Stylish & chic with exceptional service. Lovely after theater spot for drinks & small plates off of the bar menu. The POLPETTE DI BRASATO ( short rib meatballs ) were perfectly seasoned, slightly crisp in a delicious braised meat sauce . The BRUSCHETTA DI ZUCCA ( butternut squash caponata ) was also delicious.

We tried this restaurant last night and had the best time. The food was amazing, but what was really amazing was our server Rene and the staff. The staff was so on top of it, and the food came out so fast. It was our friend's birthday, and we were trying to surprise her. We had ordered a cake but needed to figure out a way to get it there without her noticing. When my other friend called the restaurant, they were able to hold the cake for us in the morning and then bring it to the table as a surprise. Rene was already informed by staff, so when we arrived, he was already in on the plan. At the end of dinner, the cake was brought out, and it was such a nice surprise. Special thanks to Rene and the staff at Quartino—you are all amazing.

Perfect ambience for conversation. Fresh fish, good wine and creative sides. Excellent service. Be sure to save room for the Matcha Tiramisu dessert!

The service and food were outstanding. We were celebrating a family birthday and the team reached out ahead of time to find out specifics and make the evening even more special!

The service was great! We really enjoy Happy Camper!
