Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Goose Island

My wife and I shared a New York Strip steak, asparagus and the chocolate mousse. All were outstanding. The steak was crispy on the outside and required very little chewing, perfect. The asparagus was great and there was enough mousse for 6 people, so we took a lot of it home for later. The service was spot on given the high price point. No complaints from us about anything.

Always a great experience for Holiday Tea at The Drake! We've been coming here for 20+ years. Last couple of times Amir was our server and he's exceptional.. always kind, smiling, and excellent service. Bojan the manager was very kind and accommodating and is a great addition to the Drake team. See you next year!!

We brought our two grandsons (ages 5 and 3) to the Walnut Room in Chicago on 1/3/2025, to experience the holiday decor. The "fairies" circulating around to each table were so engaging while chatting with our grandsons, and explaining how to "make a wish". Our server was very friendly and efficient, even under the pressure of a very busy day at the restaurant. The food was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see kids menu items available, which our grandsons thoroughly enjoyed. Two small glitches. . 1. Upon arrival, there were soiled napkins/food items on the floor next to one of the chairs at our table. I was disappointed at that mess. One of the "fairies" noticed this mess and got the staff to clean it up and 2. Our cocktails were served AFTER our food arrived. Despite these two small glitches, we had a wonderful time together, and on the way home, our 5 year old grandson told us he had the BEST DAY ever.

Service was great. They got us in early when we arrive too early before our reservation. Food was outstanding. We would go back again.  love the vibe of this restaurant.

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
