Best Restaurants for People Watching in Belmont Central / Cragin

We had the best experience tonight. We used to go to the old location frequently and they really crushed their new location. Our server was amazing tonight and did a great job with our two young boys. I wish I knew her name as I would have told her manager about her - if we only had servers like her at other Chicago restaurants. We will be telling our friends and will definitely be back soon!

Great atmosphere. We went with children and even though they have a kids menu, I wouldn’t say it’s a kid friendly place. That being said the food was wonderful and service excellent. Be prepared to be on top of other guests, as tables are very close together.

Gibsons is one of my favorite restaurants in the city! My recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was perfectly crafted. My wife and I shared a loaded wedge salad, a New York Strip, and a double baked potato – all of which were delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we indulged in a cookie with ice cream, paired with a glass of 20-year Tawny. The evening was made even more special by the fantastic piano player, who added a wonderful ambiance to our dining experience. Highly recommend!

il Porcellino NEVER disappoints! Wish I could remember the name of our server because she gets an 11 out of 10. Food 11/10. Atmosphere 10/10. Happy we chose to dine here for our anniversary! Thanks for the Prosecco, Hector!

A great spot for a ladies night out. Matt, our server, was outstanding.
