    The bartender Max was incredible. He provided excellent food recommendations and his knowledge and recommendations on drinks (especially mezcal) was exceptional. The food was unique and delicious. I will be telling everyone to go here.

    My absolute favorite restaurant in Chicago, hands down. The food is always incredible, the portions are generous, the cocktails are great, and they always have the best music. Everyone who works there is really nice too!

    Doves was fun and delicious. Our server really knew the menu and was really patient with us as my daughter was trying to figure out what she wanted. Turns out she loved the steak fajitas and my patty melt was exactly what I wanted it to be.
