Best Contemporary American Restaurants in North Center

My second time here, made to feel even more special than the first. The wait staff was, knowledgeable, prompt, attentive, professional and friendly. When asked for a suggestion, the selections were spot on. When asked for a personal opinion, they made answered insightfully with the customer in mind. And I can not speak enough of the GM Anna, who delightfully visited our table multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. The vibrant flavors compliment the subtly jubilant atmosphere and its five star staff. Good music, not so loud to drown out a conversation, yet not so quiet to uncomfortably hear the next table over. The lighting is easy on the eyes, but not too dark. And the creative cocktails are made with precision and care. Everything about this place exemplifies the joys of dining out. It is now my go-to restaurant to bring friends, dates, business dinners, etc. I cant wait to return.

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.

Tala House is exceptional! The food is delicious, unique, and the flavors are like no where else you have eaten. I highly recommend dining here. I have ordered almost everything on the menu and have always been amazed at the combination of flavors and how delicious it is.

I loved my experience tonight! I’ve been here back to back weekends and throughly enjoyed my time.

We were here for a birthday dinner and had a lovely time. The service was excellent with a server who had humor and was attentive. The menu is very interesting offering a wode variety of choices and take on trditional dishes like the Garrsoulet I had, a take off of Cassoulet of course. The Lardo and Tomato toast appetizer was delicous and everyones meal was excellent. The prices are on the high side but we were satisfied. I also reccomment the steak tartare and the burger. The atmosphere is elegant but casual and lovely.
