Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Near North

We tried this restaurant last night and had the best time. The food was amazing, but what was really amazing was our server Rene and the staff. The staff was so on top of it, and the food came out so fast. It was our friend's birthday, and we were trying to surprise her. We had ordered a cake but needed to figure out a way to get it there without her noticing. When my other friend called the restaurant, they were able to hold the cake for us in the morning and then bring it to the table as a surprise. Rene was already informed by staff, so when we arrived, he was already in on the plan. At the end of dinner, the cake was brought out, and it was such a nice surprise. Special thanks to Rene and the staff at Quartino—you are all amazing.

First time diners and we loved it. Had 5 different sushi rolls and some special rice and all was fresh and delicious. The energy there was so positive and we enjoyed the whole scene.

Absolute classic. We have been going to the latest trendy places and had forgotten how great this classic steakhouse is. Amazing crab claws, steak, and sea bass. Our waiter, Christopher, was attentive and just the right amount of charming. Delicious desserts to top off the evening. We’ll be back soon.
