• German • Downtown / Loop

---The Berghoff Restaurant is a Chicago landmark, serving German-style cuisine and culture since 1898. One of the oldest family-run businesses in the nation, now run by the fourth generation, Pete Berghoff. Today's Berghoff menus have evolved to add newer, lighter, and more contemporary dishes, but it's still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer. In December 2018, the Berghoff family opened Adams Street Brewery, aptly named after the street they have called home for over a century, to nod to their brewing roots and commemorate the restaurant's 120th anniversary.

Acanto never disappoints. The service, ambiance, wine, and food were fabulous! What a great crew! Angelica was the best server ever. The sommelier was knowledgeable and shared her love of wines. The expediting and bus staff were quiet and efficient. All good.

Our server, Divan, did a great job even though she had a lot of tables. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the food was as good as ever. Entrees are accompanied by side dishes, and are generous, so no need for additional food to be ordered. The restaurant was crowded and thus a bit noisy, but that is to be expected. All the staff worked hard to keep up. Very authentic German food.
