Who owns bull and bear chicago

Our server was good, attentive enough that we weren't waiting on things but not too much in our business. The food was really good, and the mimosas were exactly what I wanted. Will definitely go back! The food was excellent and the servers were nice.

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. The vibe was amazing. Drinks were amazing. Thought it would be more hyped for the super bowl. First, I had a reservation for a few days in advance The night we arrived, our table was by the kitchen door so we ate with a horrible view.

Second, their grill or something was broken so the menu was so small Mostly just sandwiches. It was restaurant week! They couldn't call tables with reservations and let them know? They said they could call public house and check if they had an opening. Horrible solution. Didn't get offered a free appetizer or a thing.

Super dissapointed and never fussy. Wanted to leave upon arrival but the staff at the table was decent and not their fault whoever is running the restaurant has no clue. We came here for restaurant week but just ended up ordering off the regular menu. I almost took an order to go. Good beer list also. Came here for a late lunch with friends. I knew the food would be good and it was. Very casual sports bar type restaurant. Very friendly staff as well. Great decor. Greeted with a smile and sat right away even though we were a bit early.

The waitress was great to introduce us to the menu and favorites. It's our river north go to because it's not too fancy and not too much hipster and every time it's delicious. I'd heard good things about Bull and Bear. I'd tried to get reservations a few times, but given that I usually plan at the last minute I hadn't succeeded until last Friday night.

My friend and I ordered burgers, and mine was perfect medium rare. My friend's, however, was well done, and since she'd ordered medium rare as well, she was unhappy. Without her saying anything, our server not only noticed my friend's irritated expression and asked specifically about the food, but then insisted that they remake the burger.

The manager came out and apologized, the new burger was perfect, and all this despite every seat being filled. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other things from the menu. I expected more for the prices, not much selection, smelled better than it tasted. I had meatloaf with bacon around both under done.

A day later and my stomach still feel it. Sad to say that the restaurant seems to be showing some wear and tear. Ripped seating, a little tired and not as energetic. The food and service was outstanding. The place is loud, very loud. So if you looking for a place for a quiet dinner, this is not it. But it would be a great time for an after office happy hour or get together. I always come for the nachos, but they were subpar on Sunday.

A bit of a let down considering how much I've talked them up. Given the prices, this was a disappointment. Noteworthy were the Bloody Mary and the patio which was lovely by itself but given the location of the restaurant, nothing to get excited about.

Chose it for Father's Day as something new to try. My breakfast biscuit sandwich was dry and ice coffee had more water than coffee. Service was slow and, given that we had a father at our table on Father's Day, completely aloof.

The decor is beautiful, and resembles the online photos appropriately. The table side tappers only offer two beers - Bud Light and Stella Artois. It is cost effective if everyone at the table is drinking from them, otherwise order from the bar as it's cheaper. Brussels Sprouts are definitely something I'd have again. I enjoyed the apps more than the entree, but it wasn't bad at all. Nachos are superb Layer after layer of meat and cheese topped with a mound of guac.

My favorite in all of Chicago! The bar was very loud, which is fine for most people, but my voice doesn't carry. This happens at most bars, so it wasn't really a turn off. My boyfriend and I split it, and it was a huge portion perfect for us. He said it was the best mac n' cheese he's ever had, and I can see why. The sauce was different from other mac n' cheeses-- I'm guessing that was the truffle. Super creamy. I would go back just for that.

For a potato dish, she used something similar to Idaho potatoes, cut them up coarsely, poached them in olive oil, and threw in sage and garlic. Also risotto fritters—ricotta cheese mixed with risotto and deep-fried, with cinnamon-sugar on them.

We hung out in the kitchen, drinking wine, and dinner took about two hours to make. It was just the best food. We visited a wine cave with wines that were years old. We drank year-old dessert wine.

Kinzie St. Tony Hu, who operates the increasingly uncountable stable of Lao restaurants, serves up another scoop, which may put him ahead of Baskin-Robbins for Wentworth Ave. An empty space. One big place. I will have dim sum now, too. Listed restaurants are rated from one to four stars, where one is good, two is very good, three is excellent, and four is superlative. Ada Street previously was not listed.

The new review appears in the October issue, on newsstands now. Ada Street N. Ada St. Mediterranean small plates.

Bar bites such as fried black-eyed peas and Asian-flavored blistered Melrose and shishito peppers outdo Beer Nuts by a hipster mile; cavatelli with mint pesto, peas, prosciutto, and Parmesan demonstrates how to show off seasonality in this milieu for strong flavors.

Some dishes fizzle with weak ingredients or overdo the salt. But no other place in town with a Ping-Pong table on an AstroTurf patio turns out food this good. For the dishes we liked best, click here.
