Best Date Night Restaurants in Edison Park

The Chef, Sushi and Presentation were outstanding. The Bartender was friendly, creative and the drinks were delicious. The host seemed a bit off and/or they were short staffed to manage the flow of the evening. There are 3 settings or stages to an evening at Suite 202. #1: Cocktails at the Bar. #2: Sushi at the Chef Counter #3: After dinner Drinks in the Lounge. We added the Saki Pairing which I would advise against. The saki was good but I doubt it was paired with the menu and the pours seemed short. The layout of Suite 202 was interesting and unique. However, the seats are tight during the Sushi seating and having to order drinks or request additonal Saki should have been easier than it was. Overall we had a great time but with a few tweaks the evening could have been better: 1: It would have been nice to follow along with the meal. There should either be a printed list or board with a listing of the tastings for the evening. Scratchs does a great job with their board. 2: The bartender needs an assistance to take orders for the people sitting with the chef. Scratches has a full time bartender assigned to the people sitting for Sushi. The space is a bit tight to have an additional person beside the Chef behind the counter but someone could have popped behind every few minutes to keep things flowing. Twice we had to call out to the host to request either Saki or a mixed drink. Other places are better at anticipating and ask the guest before they need to ask themselves. Lastly, location, location, location. The Lincoln Hotel is in the heart of our favorite neighborhood. The rooftop bar with views of the Lake and Sunset are some of the bests in the city.

Perfect Christmas Eve dinner. Coco Pazzo is always a perfect meal. Great food, great service, warm ambiance. We’re lucky to have such a lovely restaurant in the neighborhood. You can never go wrong with Coco Pazzo!

Love dearly beloved, always a go to for me and my friends. Happy hour to start then stay for the night because the vibes are always good

They care deeply about service at The Smith. You will feeling well taken care of. The staff and management were attentive and personable. The food was a 10. Everything from oysters to arancini, chips with blue cheese, branzino, pork chops, all perfectly cooked. I wince a little at $16.50 cocktails but that is pretty much par for a good Chicago restaurant. Entree prices were all more than reasonable. We will be back.

Excellent pizza. Meatballs and salad were also very good! Can’t wait to go back when they have a liquor license.
