Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in South Loop

Siena Tavern offers a nice ambiance with a lively yet comfortable setting, complemented by attentive and great service. It’s an inviting space perfect for dining out with friends or family. The food, however, had its highs and lows. The wagyu meatball starter was a definite highlight—juicy, succulent, and seasoned perfectly. The portion was generous, making it a satisfying way to begin the meal. The orecchiette was another standout, with its well-executed flavors and satisfying texture. However, the sea bass fell short of expectations. Being a thin cut, it absorbed too much butter and oil, resulting in a dish that felt overly rich and lacked balance. The meal ended on a high note with the tiramisu. While it wasn’t the traditional preparation, it was amazing in its own way. Light yet flavorful, it struck the perfect balance—neither overly sweet nor excessively creamy.

Be prepared for an incredible dining experience. The service is professional and among the best you will experience.It is not low cost, but you would not expect it to be. If you go here for any special occasion, you will not be disappointed.

every time we eat at girl and the goat, i fall in love all over again. the food is creative and always delicious. the ambiance feels so cozy and casual, intimate, and like a warm hug. i love that i celebrated my 40th birthday here at the king’s table and then, 10 years later visited for my 50th birthday and tho we sat at a different table, had a repeat visit from the same server - GARY!!! definitely try the steak in citrus dressing, the pork belly in crabmeat sauce, and always the pig face. always always the pig face. and the crumpets in the pate order. my GOSH so good

I recommend the RPM chopped salad, the oysters, the grilled octopus, the clam chowder soup and the filet. It was AMAZING! I apologize in advance I forgot our servers name, she remembered all my notes I put and explained the menu with details. She made it very special! Exactly what I wanted for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner! She was a pretty blonde girl, she’s wonderful! If anyone can give me her name I would love to recommend her to my friends if they want to dine here!

The food was soooo good! Loved the Leek & Egg plant, Shrimp cocktail, and french onion fondue. Steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The sides of fries, Cauliflower, whipped potatoes, and mushrooms were to die for! Needless to say we didn’t make it to dessert, but the service was impeccable and overall it was sooo great!
