Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Uptown

Mon Ami Gabi is a perennial favorite, particularly for the holiday season. The restaurant is decked out for the holiday and always feels so warm and cozy. The food and service are excellent year round as well, but this is a special time to visit.

Our experience was amazing. Our waitress was so accommodating to our two young children and made them feel so special. The food was great as well. We loved everything we ate. Definitely will plan on coming back the next time we are in town.

This was our first high tea experience and it was absolutely fantastic. We got seated in the side room, which was much cozier and quieter than the bustling main room. It was quite charming and, for us, was a much better experience. Our waitress, Ryan, was a delight and walked us through our first experience and made it memorable by taking countless photos for us! The cherry on top was the carolers and the harpist. The whole experience was excellent and we will be doing it again.

Gibson's is one of my favorite restaurants of all times. We live in San Antonio but make it a point to make reservations when in Chicago, Because of the holidays, I scheduled reservations 3 months in advance. Service was superb, as always. I ordered the W.R.'s Chicago Cut and was very disappointed. The steak was cold and did not appear anywhere close to 22 oz. My son ordered a 7 oz Filet Mignon, and he was disappointed as it was very dry and overcooked. I know I could have said something at the table, but I didn't want to ruin the moment as we were having such a great time being together. The service was outstanding, and hope that next time it will be the same Gibson's experience.

Excellent sushi served in a fun, eclectic atmosphere. Unique and delicious rolls. Top quality food, service, and fair prices. I highly recommend this restaurant.
