Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Goose Island

Listen… that damn shank is the best thing in the city.

Really great Monday night out. Took my teen son and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our waiter couldn’t have been more helpful. Food was great - we had Nachos, Chips and Guac and Ravioli (lemon butter sauce) they even pre split it over two plates as we mentioned we would share it. The music (big band Monday) was fabulous. What a treat!

Amazing experience!! Excellent service, delicious food, and amazing drinks! Highly recommend Sepia to friends wanting to have a great night out to indulge!

Stopped by to catch up with a friend, and it was such a great spot! The vibe is super cozy with dim lighting, which made it feel really inviting. We sat by the windows, and there was a bit of a draft, but they were on it with a heater right next to our table—nice save! It started a little slow, probably because of a shift change, but once Paul took over, things were great. We told him we weren’t in a rush, and he totally got it—super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We tried a couple of Happy Hour martinis and shared some apps, and everything was delicious. Definitely want to come back to try some entrees and will for sure be back for Happy Hour!

Love Boka for a few reasons Food: the best duck in the city and no matter how often we get the duck it feels new and different. Excellent starters and small plates Wine and liquor: a great wine list that has some seriously great finds served with care and a great cocktail list to start or finish your night. Service: consistency is key, we enjoy coming back because there are so many familiar faces which really helps put you at ease with your dinner. The meal is timely and well attended. With a great support staff making sure no need is missed. I don't recall how many times we've been over the years but it always feels special and fresh and fun.
