Restaurants near Ida B Wells-Barnett House

The entire experience was great but our server Jo was the game changer that made it such a pleasant evening

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.

The experience from the time I stepped off the elevator on to the second floor of Tre Dita . The hostess staff were extremely pleasant. My waiter was assertive.

This was one of my top five dining experiences ever! We got kitchen counter seating which I love- being right in the mix and chatting with the chefs is my jam! Cocktails were on point but the food…. I mean come on!!!! We had zucchini fritters, a butternut squash filled pasta dish that had this amazing rich and subtly sweet sauce, roasted beets with this crazy pop of pomegranate and risotto with a taleggio fonduta that I will be dreaming about for a very long time! Bravo, rose mary- you killed it!!!!

i GO THERE ALL THE TIME AND IT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG, DRIED UP BURGERS COLD FRIES......ORDER NOT RIGHT. i ASKED FOR EXTRA ONIONS BUT DIDNT GET THEM. VALENTINE DAY ALL THE FOOD WAS FRESH. THE ONLY THING i THINK THE BROWNIES ON A STICK IS OVERPRICED AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE WARM
