Seth Duke: Loved the seared tuna sandwich and the Spanish chorizo pizza. Beer was good, and since they change frequently it guarantees a return visit.
C Rey: Terrific spot in Southport Corridor. Skip the flight and have a few tasters to find what you like. Then get 10oz pours of a few different brews. Food is also excellent and atmosphere is on point.
Geoff Balasi: The beers are always on rotation much like their excellent sister site, DryHop. Amazing burgers and pizza. A new favorite.

neerad jet .: Togarashi seared tuna - seared tuna, seaweed salad, kelp noodle, creamy Meyer lemon dressing. Is great.
Jen: One of the best sushi restaurants I have been to in Chicago. Unique maki rolls, amazing scallop cake & the seared tuna appetizer was delicious.
Alison: Sushi is great- fresh and good flavors! Liked the shrimp tempura and soft-shell crab maki. Try the short ribs and octopus spring rolls. Skip the ramen, and go to Takashi instead for ramen...

Ross Park: Grilled portobello mushroom appetizer with balsamic glaze is awesome. And they might have the best seared ahi tuna I've ever had. Kudos to the chef
Valarie Johnson: If I lived near here, I would come by and drink their water, eat their bread, and have a big bowl of butternut squash soup every day. Van Gogh cocktails on special occasions. It would be heaven!
Stephanie Davis: Best. Water. Ever.

Duane Golston: The food is good I loved the seared tuna especially the drinks are in a class of their own and it's a cozy spot for dining and concert love this place.
Laini Madhubuti: Great lamb burger. For cocktails, pick from the menu. Bartenders need more training in off menu classics.
Sheila D: make sure to try the lamb burger. AND dip your chickpea fries in the condiment that looks like ketchup, but is not...
Chicago magazine: We love the wild mushroom soup, seared ahi tuna, orecchiette with sweet Italian sausage, and Gorgonzola-slathered filet mignon. And who can resist the coconut ice-cream snowball for dessert? Not us. Read more.
Brian Simms: Don't miss the Sunday brunch, it's well put together.
Christopher Floss: Live music on Friday evenings. The brussel sprouts are a great appetizer. Great burger!

Fernando Covas: Great selection of comedians with different styles. Make sure to arrive early, as the place packs up well before shows start. Also, don't forget the two drink minimum per person!
Explore Chicago: Zanies hosts stand-up comedy headliners such as Jay Leno, Richard Lewis and Emo Phillips.
House of Blues: Best place in town to catch a comedy show!
