Thrillist: You can't go wrong with the poached-egg-topped duck confit pasta and the the "Tangled Up In Blue" (Pig's Nose scotch, yellow chartreuse, orange bitters). Read more.
Molly Friedlich: I highly recommend ordering the polenta fries, black eyed peas, lamb ribs, duck confit, and veal. Great spot!
Smitch: Fantastic cocktails - get the moscow mule or the champagne/angostura bitters combo. Amazing food - highlights were the lamb popsicles, steak tartare and fried manchego cheese balls.

Melissa Au: Amazing breakfast/brunch food. I tried the monkey bread, mac n cheese, duck confit hash, fresh squeezed juice and all were amazing.
Antonia Strotdrees: Have the Loraine Scramble for savoury, and Banana Nut Pancakes for sweet 👌🏼
Mary Ann Kowalczyk: Red Velvet French Toast is amazing. The Pear Splash is good but sometimes too much ginger. Great friendly service :) Chocolate milk was good too! Mmmm

Vincent Zhang: Great ambience. Must get the duck confit.
Kate Schaffer: Steak frites, escargot, trout with lentils. All favorites!
Time Out Chicago: There isn’t a bad thing on the menu, but if we had to limit ourselves, we’d go with onion soup, mussels steamed in Belgian ale, roasted chicken and pan-seared hanger steak flanked by amazing frites. Read more.

Kirstjen Lorenz: Went for brunch today. They were experimenting with their Bloody Mary mix, so I had a couple of the concoctions. Also had the biscuits & gravy with duck confit. I added poached eggs. OMG Yum!
Lori Luo: French food-meets-Gastropub fare. A protein heavy menu with tempting dishes like Duck Confit and Croque Madame Egg Rolls goes perfectly with a thorough beverage program. Come hungry and thirsty.
Matt www.Travelyaps.com: Duck confit is the way to my heart and when it's mixed with bacon and cheddar I'm sold.

Chicago Tribune: Housemade pastas are a strength at this bar and restaurant, including a duck mac and cheese that smothers orrecchiette with duck confit, foie gras cream, lots of cheese and a dash of cherry juice. Read more.
Jenn LeFlore: Food is so delicious. Great options if you are just interested in a drink and a couple of apps. They also made me a delicious mocktail. This mama is thankful
PureWow: Bar Siena offers Nutella calzones. Stuffed with vanilla-bean gelato and hazelnuts, the flaky treats are slathered in the maddeningly addictive chocolate sauce.

Kevin Dulin: Love the GTO cocktail. Both the Bacon Flight and Duck Confit Enchiladas were to die for!
Loren Morris: Great deviled eggs with white anchovies and deviled eggs. Great old school Manhattan

Christopher Burns: As a Canadian, I'm a lover of poutine. Their take is worth trying; The duck confit is a great add but it needs curds not their cheddar sauce and it's too salty for my taste.
Laura Pearce: Have been here several times now for a light dinner, lunch, and brunch. Always delicious food and a great atmosphere.
Sabina Kajtezovic: Smoked duck is amazing. Great beer and wine selection.

Eater: Start with some fresh oysters from the east coast, then try the maple sausage corn dog, rock crab scramble, or duck confit. And as always, don’t forget the popular syrup-braised pub bacon.
Jonathan Liang: The Pork Belly dish is like braises candied bacon. Sweet and savory. A must have!
Jeff Siarto: have the pork rinds.

Rochelle Morgan: The French onion soup was the cheesiest I've had and it hit the spot. Fantastic flatbread on special tonight - duck confit, goat cheese, and arugula...and very nice waitress.
Jeff Haseltine: The lobster, mushroom, truffle mac n cheese is ridiculously good. Seriously, it's the best mac n cheese you'll ever have.
Conor McDowell: @ Jim W. The reason they add 18% is because they are worried that cheap people like you who split everything aren't going to tip- and apparently they are right...

Leia Nichole: The blueberry cheesecake pie was AMAZING. Love this spot, tucked on Ashland and begging you to stop in. Homey, friendly, generous.
Mightybytes: First Slice is not just a great place to get a slice of pie. Buy healthy meals for your busy family, and you'll pay for the same meals to go to Chicago’s hungry and homeless. Read more.
Brenda Magnetti: This non-profit feeds more than me. They serve 500 meals a week to those who can't afford groceries. You had me at hello!
