    Loved the food combination. Sat at the counter and the team was very chill and attentive to the details. The flavors and spices (the spices!) stood out from each small plate. Doubled down on the tacos and margaritas because you only get so many opportunities to catch lighting in a bottle. Dope experience overall.

    Due to a glut of options, there are few places in Chicago that spark the “when are we coming back?” conversation before the main course is finished. This is one of those places. The dishes were comfortable yet complex, making you realize, there’s a talent-level in the kitchen that makes them impossible to replicate. Each bite from first course through dessert was exceptional, which is a feat considering we were last seating on a Tuesday night. What made the experience was the service. Lauren S. was welcoming and informative without being pushy. She deftly answered all of our questions that felt like she was guiding us through the menu based on her expertise not her opinion. This included steering us away from certain dishes when she understood our flavor profiles, and explaining things without ruining the surprise. Her attention to little things without feeling crowded made us realize what front of house talent does to heighten the experience. The only knock was the nitty-picky things on the space. The bathroom was a bit disheveled, there was a crud on the handle of a fork (nothing on the tongs, I checked before using it). Extremely minor unless you’re judging for Micheline stars. Simply put, where it matters everything is well thought out from concept to execution. If you can get in, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

    I saw Aneyla featured on an email from Michelin which announced it as one of the 3 new restraunts in Chicago(2024), recognized with the prestigious title. The food was appealing to all senses and the staff was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining various options and providing recommendations or suggestions for an exceptional meal! The ambience, lighting and decor is similar to an true European experience. Aneyla's chefs, servers and staff definitely meet Michelin quality and are deserving of that status!
