Restaurants near Mariano Park

Our favorite annual trip to celebrate our Anniversary!! The most amazing food, incredible ambiance especially near Christmas, wonderful wait staff, quiet intimate setting on the porch! We walk away amazed by the food and experience each year!

We had a lovely experience at the new Tavern on Rush!! This was our first time at the new location and it exceeded expectations! The restaurant was very crowded, given the holiday season, but the service and food was top notch! Noelle was our server and she tended to our every need with a smile! The cocktails were delicious and the French red that we selected from the extensive wine list was also amazing. Noelle helped us plan our meal, including steak and sides and all were fabulous! The "welcome mini-martini" was a very nice touch, and one I've not seen before. We will definitely be back!!

Had a 6PM reservation and waited 45 minutes for our table. Kept being asked if we wanted a high top near the entrance but we made this reservation a few months in advance and one of the guest was 8 months pregnant so wanted a regular table in the back. Unfortunate experience. Been many times and never experienced this. No apologies for the wait. Bummer!

Gibson’s is one of the biggest names in Chicago for a reason. Always a fantastic experience whenever I get the chance to dine with them. The Gold Coast staff was working like a well oiled machine while dealing with the business of the holiday season. Food was spectacular and came out very quick. As always, looking forward to my next meal here.

Was my best experienced truffle caesar salad, cocktails were delicious and our waiter was very sweet. Beautifully decorated now for Christmas place where you can enjoy your evening with people you love 💕
