Gretel

One of our new favorites in Chicago, pure 10/10 experience all around. Went in and spoke to the host (no reservations here), and it was 1.5 hour wait. We grabbed a drink and sat down in the spacious lower level, even met a few people that were sharing the same seating area as us (but you can pick more of a private corner spot). Had a few apps and drinks while down there (not the full menu downstairs), then were called up at about the 50 minute mark. Burger was incredible 10/10, mac and cheese 10/10, and the lobster roll was 10/10. The floor to ceiling bar display is worth the visit in and of itself, get there ASAP.

I dined here for the first time last night. The style and decor was great. The lobster roll was top notch, maybe best I have ever had. The rest of the meal was fine. The only reason I give a 4/5 was the music. My guest and I really thought it clashed with the environment. But I would still go back. Great place!

Pretty cool place. The burger is worth it but other stuff on the menu was also good. Hot dog and Mac and cheese are my go to. If you are into dark places, this is for you. Candle light is the only light 🕯️

Closes at 1230 on a Saturday? Is this Oklahoma?
Lobster bisque. Honestly tastes like gravy. I'm sure the food is good here. It looks good.
Staff super friendly and top notch. Place is awesome. Beautifully done. Don't miss the downstairs. Excellent ambiance overall.
100% a place for cocktails and conversation. Had a great time.

This place does not miss. Food is amazing. Drink selection is large. Vibe on point (low lights good music, but can still have a conversation.) The burger is one of the best I’ve had in Chicago, it’s a must try. Fries are also really good. Mac and cheese is gourmet, lobster roll was also phenomenal. Menu is small but that is because it is all good, can’t go wrong, I will continue to come here. Only complaint is how small the place is! They deserve more space.
