This place was amazing!…read more The dishes are really well thought out and prepared exquisitely. The flavors in each dish were well blended and supremely balanced.

Highly recommend!!

I loved it soooo much, heck I event want to buy some of paintings they have up!!! They do have prints of some available too. Tl;dr I definitely recommend!

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

Mains: we both had the nori-crusted Babette w/ ponzu. Absolutely delicious, it's one of our favorite steaks in the city. Desserts: tres leches cake and mocha mousse torte w/ whipped mascarpone. OMG. incredible. We also love the horchata mousse w/ cinnamon cookie (not pictured). Drinks: pickle-tini and espresso martini. Both delicious, but the pickle-tini was especially incredible.

Unbelievable. This place is truly magical…read more It has such a perfect mix of a relaxed, chill vibe while still feeling elevated enough to dress up and make a night out of it. The space itself is beautiful with a really cozy ambiance, and the patio is a great option when the weather is nice. The drinks are absolutely the star of the show. You can tell there is so much intention behind both the flavors and the presentation. The cocktail menu is super creative, and the Old Fashioned menu alone is phenomenal with so many unique options. The Beorn Old Fashioned was my favorite. We also tried the Payanello (pineapple, lime, ginger, pickled jalapeño) and it was incredible. Food was fantastic as well. The brussels sprouts were so good and a must order. Service was amazing. Our server was so kind, helpful, and gave great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. It is on the pricier side, especially for drinks, but honestly worth it for the quality and experience. Reservations are easy to make and I would definitely recommend booking ahead. Parking was manageable when we went, but I could see it getting tricky during busier times. Overall, such a beautiful, thoughtfully done space with incredible drinks, great food, and top tier service. A perfect spot for a night out or just grabbing a cocktail and soaking in the vibe.

Since I don't drink alcohol, I opted for one of their zero-proof cocktails, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni. It had a subtle hint of pineapple, but the drink itself was a bit too strong for my taste. We also tried their new Irish Spice Bag, but unfortunately it wasn't a favorite. The dish was a little bland, and the curry sauce could have used more seasoning. Overall, this place just wasn't the right fit for my personal tastes, but I can definitely see it appealing to those who appreciate sophisticated cocktails and an upscale, stylish atmosphere.

We did the wine pairing with our 10 course experience and it was the BEST overall dining experience we have ever had anywhere! They only have 2 seatings an evening but even each seating is staggered so it's like you are having your own private tasting for your party. Each course was better than the previous course and every course was INCREDIBLE with outstanding flavors that were explained in great detail each time! It was such a memorable experience from the first course to the last course that you never wanted it to end. You also get the entire menu including the wine pairing in a nice note before you leave. It includes your various Sous Chefs and service directors you had the entire evening! This was an EXCEPTIONAL overall dining experience that everyone should try especially if you love, food and wine!!!! I can't wait to go back and experience a whole new menu for sure!

There is a lot to say about this restaurant, and most of it is very good. The ambiance had perfect energy. It felt lively, but never loud or overwhelming. It struck a really nice balance for a special night out. You could comfortably enjoy the experience and conversation. The service was exceptional. Not just friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable. Every course and every pairing was explained in detail, and the staff clearly knew their craft. Service - they absolutely delivered. We chose The W.C. Whitney Menu. I had the Premium Wine Pairing, which was excellent and very well done. My wife chose the Temperance Pairing since she does not drink alcohol. This was one of the few disappointments of the evening. Many of the drinks were designed to mimic the taste of cocktails and wine, while my wife does not care for the taste of alcoholic drinks. When it came to the food, there was a range. Some dishes were truly outstanding and worthy of Demi's reputation. Some were good but not exactly great. And honestly, a few were mediocre. With a tasting menu, you expect some variation, but at this level and at this price, mediocre does not cut it. Here's what it really comes down to. I would rate the experience itself 5-stars. But the cost of the evening did not come close to matching what was delivered. I was not looking for, or expecting value! We spent over $700 for the evening. Demi is very good. The service is exceptional. The ambiance is awesome. Much of the food is outstanding. But in my opinion, the overall experience did not justify the extremely high cost.

I've been watching people enjoy the delightful pasta at Dario from afar for too long! I had to…read morecheck it out for myself and I was not disappointed! Tucked away in its own little corner of North Loop, there is some paid parking directly outside otherwise walking from nearby street parking is possible too! The interior of the space is whimsical and fun with green and pink interior design elements, gold accents, and fun artwork! It truly feels like a special escape from reality when inside...similar to an Alice in Wonderland experience. Our server was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about what to order. I particularly appreciated how our pasta came out in intentional courses from lightest to heaviest. It absolutely elevated the meal to top notch. Known for their handmade pasta, we didn't mess around with any other menu items...we just ordered four different plates of pasta: Doppio, Torteletti, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, and Tajarin! The Doppio was my favorite, with a unique double filled pasta that had a savory sunchoke filling highlighted with a pop of whipped ricotta. The Rigatoni was cozy and warm, serving up perfect comfort food vibes. The Tajarin was the ocean in a bowl and my partner's favorite, but it was a bit too salty for my palate. The food was top notch and the environment was stellar, but I did feel a bit of cognitive dissonance. The food was so grounded, earthy, and cozy yet the interior was whimsical, playful, and ethereal. This disconnect took my out of the experience a bit. Add in that the price points are a bit high, and I could see why some might have different expectations. Overall, I'm glad Dario is taking swings at providing something truly unique to the North Loop! I will absolutely be returning!

Overall very good for a hospital cafe - 4 stars…read more 1. I have mixed feelings about Bridges Cafe. In general, this facility is impressive. They have a HUGE variety of food options...everything from a fresh fried griddle area, another fresh made area, a salad bar, pre-prepared foods in plastic containers of every type, pastries, cookies, chips, canned & bottled beverages, etc. All of these options are wonderful for people that are stuck in the hospital as a patient or a visitor, not to mention the hundreds of staff. 2. On the other hand, this is a hospital. I wonder about the virtue signaling of the "putting plants forward" initiative (see photo of sign), especially for someone like me that has managed to reverse my metabolic disease & dramatically improve all my blood labs by consciously & explicitly eliminating this stuff with the help of my physician. Worse, they have plenty of chips, cookies, pastries, and sugary beverages. But I also have to keep in mind that everyone has the free will to eat how they choose. And they have plenty of visitors & staff that can eat they way they choose. Hummm...so confusing. I'll let you decide for yourself about the morality all of this stuff. I wouldn't have thought much about these things if it wasn't a hospital and if there wasn't nutrition commentary throughout. Why not just offer the food without the messaging? 3. The dining area is impressive. It isn't fancy. But it has a killer view across the Mississippi and the West Bank (see photo). It's also large with a raised deck area in back. 4. Finally, I had a funny experience with a staff member. I happened to sit at a table next to a medical staff employee in full blue scrubs, face mask, and blue cap. When I sat down, she looked at me, she grabbed her purse, and she moved it from the floor near me to the floor on the side of her other leg, seemingly protecting it. Paranoid? Is there a lot of crime in the cafe? I was definitely worried about my Mom's heart procedure, not plotting to snatch someone's purse! I didn't think I looked scary or like a potential criminal, but I must have looked intimidating that day. Interesting. Thumbs up. -Maxx P.S. There's an awesome coffee shop on the 1st floor!
