Best Restaurants with Dancing in Hyde Park

The food was great!!! The show was amazing!!! Well worth the $$$!!!! Favorite thing we did while visiting!!!

We were excited to finally have the chance to eat at Jordyn’s. My boyfriend, my mother and I arrived for our 5:30 reservation and when we walked in, we had to stand in line waiting for the hostess to take ‘to go’ food orders. We stood probably about 10 minutes waiting. When it was our turn, the hostess was very nice and thanked us for our patience. While the restaurant itself isn’t very big, it is decorated nicely. When we arrived at our table, the first thing we noticed was the chairs had very short backs. My mother is 85 years old and I was concerned about her sitting in a chair that she could not lean back in. The chairs sit very low, and the tables are tall, so I felt like a kid in a highchair! I asked for one of the two empty booths, but was told those were for larger parties. Anyway, on to the service. Our server arrived fairly quickly after we were seated, but that was where the quickness ended. It took a LONG time for the food to come out, roughly 30-40 minutes. My boyfriend’s food didn’t come out for another 20 minutes. The saving grace…the food was really good! I had smothered pork chops with sweet potatoes and collard greens, my mother had fried chicken, sweet potatoes and collard greens, my boyfriend had smothered chicken, mac and cheese and broccolini. Everyone enjoyed their food. Be warned, there is 20% gratuity added to parties of TWO or more. Kayla, the food runner, was sweet as pie and kept checking on our food for us. So to sum it up, would we go back again? yes, but we agreed we would try a different time of day. OH, one more thing, it is BYOB, no liquor served! I do recommend this restaurant but I am hopeful they will smooth out the rough edges.

Avec is the best of the best Chicago restaurants! We had an endive salad to start, the chicken shawarma with hummus, and champagne. It was a perfect meal for a very special celebration! The food, atmosphere and service were superlative, and the amazing team made our celebration such a memorable and wonderful experience! Thank you so much, avec!!!

I feel like my server “Hispanic woman” didn’t really care about my experience. It was also my birthday and I didn’t receive the celebration even though I mentioned it and I came out of state. Aside from that, the restaurant is beautiful and the vibes are great!

Delicious, and completely underrated! Sushi was fresh and they have a great gluten free menu!
