I absolutely loved my first visit to Summer House - Chicago. I took my client out to lunch and wanted to experience something different and found Summer House on IG. A great location and the food is delish. Josh was a great server. It reminds me of Hampton Social or White Sheep with the look and decor. Great service…

I booked a Valentine’s reservation over a month in advance, it was easy to book. Unfortunately it snowed moderately the day of the reservation and since I was driving from Indiana. It took a LOT longer to get there than expected. I called Fioretta, they said it was okay, that they would be able to make it work. Mind you, I got there an hour late. They still honored my reservation. The service was great and the food came out promptly. Meatballs lacked seasoning, shrimp scampi was 100/10. Crab bisque and burrata with peppers were both mid. 24oz ribeye was looked perfectly however it was too salty. They even brought extra seasoning that they used on the ribeye so we can add as we please. But there was no need as the salt overpowered everything. The marscapone whipped potatoes were also 100/10. Olive oil cake with gelato was 100/10, my server recommended it and recommended a bite with a little gelato and a piece of the cake, it was delicious. Tiramisu was mid. The cocktails all had good flavors but they lacked layers. They were for the most part all 1 note. So overall, get the shrimp scampi and the whipped potatoes forsure. I also think they can bring the $$$$$ down a notch- it doesnt match the mid quality of the food.

For it to be very busy, likely at capacity, the staff managed well. The staff were very friendly. The food was delicious, overall. I love that they have a dedicated vegan menu. The Vegan Emerald Gyoza was my favorite! The Honey Bourbon Sesame Tindle sandwich was super creative and tasty! We enjoyed the vegan Buddha’s Garden sushi roll. The yuzu orange sauce was the only thing that wasn’t exciting in flavor. We will definitely return for the gyozas and to try some other menu items!
