While we went on vacation, a slew of restaurants opened their doors to the Chicago eating public. We’ve spent the last week catching up, and here’s what we got, in alphabetical order, commentary where appropriate:
• Allstar Sports Bar & Grill (you can order online)
• Bella Rosa Ristorante (got way panned in the Dish)
• Brehon Pub (tagline: “Serving Guinness not gimmicks since 1980”)
• Gourmet Pantry (you can order online)
• Jack’s Famous Wings (Brighton Park)
• Jack’s Famous Wings (Austin)
• Khyber Pass (a branch of the Evanston institution)
• King Tut (Mike Sula was impressed by the breadth of the menu. In fact, the website states that it has the “the Largest Selection of Appetizers in Chicago”!)
• Korean Seoulfood Cafe (Mike Nagrant recommends ordering off the homestyle menu)
• Little Chilies Thai Kitchen (you can order online)
• Los Girasoles (Brighton Park Mexican recommended on LTHForum)
• The Rusty Armadillo (new Norwood Park Mexican with whimsical name)
• Stretch Run (this River North sports bar has OTB!)
• Suzi’s Tea & Cafe (Chicagoist thinks your child would enjoy this tea shop)
• Violet (cute new Lakeview breakfast/lunch spot is BYO and has Wifi)
• Wow Bao (on Wacker, serves Monica Eng-breakfast)
Wow. And as a special bonus (#17, in fact), we did some investigating and got prices for D4 Irish Pub & Cafe’s lunch and dinner menus. Helpful!
