Best Casual Restaurants in Hyde Park

Great food, service, speed, and loved the booth for 2. Checking in area with the hostess was a bit wild as it was so busy and there were large groups coming and going.

This was a great experience from first minute to last - great hospitality around excellent food! We were early, seated quickly and with preferences accounted for. We had scoped six dishes in advance and opted out of one when a waygu Big Mac was offered - a most try! Server knew the menu, understood her role to guide discovery and make sure we had a great meal - 10/10 recommend! Had scallops which were amazing, different than other preparations, and truly stood out. Brussels were his favorite, and were flavorful with a maple item underneath that made it work! Risotto, alcapurrias, and mussels with lobster (only ok) rounded it out with donut dessert. Really really solid and different. Chef Chris came by to say hello - you should too, truly worthy of reputation and ranking!

Karissa was an excellent server! Very bubbly and happy which made us feel great on New Years Day! The food was delicious (chicken parm, penne vodka sauce, pork chop) and the drinks were excellent as well (try the blood orange cosmo!) Definitely will be back!

So cute inside! Great date spot but I wonder if you could also rent out half for an event-it's small and intimate. Love the idea of moderately priced "snacks", many of which were vegetarian. Not the absolute best cocktails, but maybe they're known for something else. We will definitely be back!

We dine here often and with good reason. The consistency for all the categories you ask about on the survey are always over the top. The staff, the venue, the FOOD and the prices are all great. This owner has other restaurants in the area and it is the same experience at any of them when we visit. So if you’re local - stay local and try this gem. And if you’re not local - it is worth a trip!
