Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in China Town

One of the best dinners I’ve had in Chicago! Avec is truly a magical experience, and the food is divine!

It was a delightful discovery! The ambiance was warm and cozy, with an impressive buzz of people passing through, talking, and socializing—yet we still enjoyed our privacy at a corner table. The red wine was excellent, the beef tartare (always my go-to choice when available) was fresh and flavorful, the truffle fries were perfectly crispy without being overpowering, the beetroot salad was refreshing, and the mushroom pizza was simply delicious. I must also highlight the dessert and the tiramisu martini—they were the perfect start and finish to our meal. We had a fantastic time and will jump at the first opportunity to return. A special shoutout to the kind and attentive manager Michel and our wonderful server, Tina, whose attentiveness made the experience even more memorable.

Shaw's Chicago location offers a fantastic dining experience with fresh oysters that are always a highlight. The lunch special is not only delicious but also reasonably priced, making it a great option for a midday bite. The restaurant's vintage ambiance adds a charming touch, making it a beautiful space to enjoy a meal. Highly recommend!

The food was innovative and sensational. Service was first rate. The entire staff was attentive and responsive. Cocktails were imaginative and well balanced. We tried many items on the menu loved almost all of them. My only complaint is minor, the tables are the small ones that are prevalent at so many trendy spots.

We had the pu pu platter plus some sides, everything was really nice plated and yummy, my favorite thing forever is the curry. The holiday drinks were really cute and i also like that they have zero proof drinks that are delicious and also come in a cool glass.
