Best Fine Dining Restaurants in South Side

We had a phenomenal experience. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and the food was excellent (we got oysters, lamb, salmon, creme brulee, and chocolate truffle cake and they were all great). But the service in particular was above and beyond. We live outside the city and got stuck in traffic on the way in so we were like 45 minutes later than we meant to be. We walked in at 4:10 and let them know we had a show at 5:00 down the street. Our server, Jeff, really took this to heart and got us our dishes at lightning speed. We had three courses and were still out by 4:45, making our show in plenty of time! I was stressed but he really took care of us, so overall definitely a 5 star visit!

Friday lunch on Valentines Day right when they opened. We will be back. I walked past this place everyday when I was in grad school. I’m glad we finally went. This place smells amazing if you’re close to the kitchen. Decor is clean and neat too without feeling sterile. This is what I expect out of a place in the Sears Tower. Our server, Paulino, was great. He seemed to always check in at just the right time for drink refills or to clear plates. Great food suggestions too. The food. We both got steak frites. She had lobster bisque. I got a bonus tenderloin skewer. We got the maple flapjack cake and the s’mores cake bar. The steaks were so good you’d think the bill was going to be much higher. Fries were good. The desserts were massive, overkill for two people, and we were glad we ordered them. Our waiter gave us a heads up that the flapjack cake is already a sharing size. The s’mores cake bar was even bigger than I expected. We brought 2/3ish of each home. They tasted great. We could see taking guests there for drinks and desserts. I’d say either would be more than enough for four adults with sweet tooths. Flavors were great. I’m looking forward to eating more of the desserts over the weekend. We will be back to try more of the menu.

Great food across the board, a bit expensive, but very, very good (excellent)!

Sofi is our choice for Italian in Chicago. From appetizers to dessert, Sofi never disappoints.

The food was delicious. The lemon drop was fantastic. I enjoyed it
