Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in China Town

Amazing service and food. Gorgeous and vibrant atmosphere. I always enjoy my time at LuxBar. A Chicago classic. Keep up eye great work!

I am visiting Chicago for a few weeks, and I have eaten at your restaurant twice.Each time I was privileged to encounter Manager Michael, and Jaafar. During these visits to the restaurant, they were both perfect representations of the RL brand! Each time they were both super attentive to me, as well as all of the RL guest. During my visits, I witnessed each of them resolve issues and exceed the expectations of each guest. Their efforts expressed concern and gratitude to each diner. On several occasions I witnessed each of them handle potential issues with grace, resolving issues and putting out the fire before it had a chance to flare up. The experienced left me felling welcomed and gave me the impression that I was important to the restaurant and brand. Often time African American customers are disregarded or spoke down to by restaurant staff. During my visit each of them witnessed this mistreatment by customers or other staff and immediately did their part to correct the wrong and to ensure I had an excellent experience….and that I did! They both did their part to ensure that I had wonderful time. Each time I visited,I left with a smile on my face. It’s my belief that God gives some people the gift of kindness and generosity and I believe both of them have that gift and I would like to humbly thank them for being considerate, kind and generous, and for making my experience wonderful! Life is short and kindness is important and I believe in my heart that they both understand that, and know how to treat others. RL, Thank you for having them both on your staff and for allowing them to bless others with their presence! Meeting them was the highlight of my visit to CHICAGO.

The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!

Gibsons is one of my favorite restaurants in the city! My recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was perfectly crafted. My wife and I shared a loaded wedge salad, a New York Strip, and a double baked potato – all of which were delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we indulged in a cookie with ice cream, paired with a glass of 20-year Tawny. The evening was made even more special by the fantastic piano player, who added a wonderful ambiance to our dining experience. Highly recommend!

We were seated 10 minutes early for our 1pm reservation. Out server arrived at our table immediately and greeted us. We put in drink orders then when she came with those we ordered our appetizer and meal. We thought it might take a bit of time as the place was full but it was all out quickly. Ordered thr pot pie and braised beef and both good. This is where service got slow but I think they seated 3 or 4 new tables in her area at once so she was busy. Ordered thr mint cheesecake and that was amazing. Bill was $80 plus tax so not really bad for 2 people to have a nice meal with drinks and dessert. The tree and Christmas decorations were beautiful and we lucked out and were seated near the tree. Will make it a tradition each year to go back. Lucked out on the reservation because we missed it when it opened. So glad we got one!
