If you're in the area, especially during happy hour (extended to all day on Mondays, closed Tuesdays), stop in.

Absolutely great wine list (and keep an eye out for special event Wine Dinners), including value priced House Wines during HH. Very decent burger and fries, small snacks and full sized plates abound at very good prices.

I'm old enough that I still remember doing the world-class happy hour at Dos Urban Cantina at the…read moresame address now home to Bar Parisette, a newer space from the Table, Donkey & Stick folks in Logan. I hadn't been back to check out the other restaurants in this space since Dos closed a few years ago, so I don't have the history on how this space has turned over a bit in the time since. I DO know this much: Bar Parisette is a strange ride. That's because I'm not really sure what it is going for, based on a dinner I had at the space last weekend. Bar Parisette, for a lot of reasons, gave me the sense it was going for French bistropub. The steak frites, the burger, the snacks, the drinks...all of that felt like it was right at home, but none of it was as strong as the food I've had at TDS. I went with the burger specifically because the burger at TDS is so good, but it just...wasn't, here. The meat was a little plain, the fries were fine, the bun was solid; the pieces were there, but as a package, it wasn't humming. The almonds were an interesting choice, but not one I would run out to make again; the trout dip was a winner with a couple of the folks in our party, but I skipped it since trout dip is not really my thing. I think the vibe was more a turnoff than the food and drink, though. Pardon my French, but it just wasn't sexy in here, and even though it was a Saturday night, it wasn't really hopping inside the space. If there was music playing, I didn't hear it or don't remember it, and the layout at Bar Parisette is functional but doesn't allow for the sorts of people-watching I like at other places in Chicago. (This became especially pointed when we left and walked next door to Gretel, which was jam-packed.) Service wasn't pushy, but it was certainly aggressive; our server came over three times in the first 10 minutes to check on our need to order, despite the fact that we were clearly a group that had not caught up in a while and had not spent much time with the menus. (European, this was not, at least in terms of speed.) But then we DID order, and it took 20 minutes to get our drinks and 30 minutes to get appetizers...then another 30 to get dinner. I didn't notice this as much because I had a late lunch, but my wife was showing signs of "hanger" that got more belligerent as the night went along. "Hurry up and wait" was never more apparent than this, and the staff acknowledged that it took too long for our food to come out, especially in a space that was almost completely empty by the time our mains came out. For $300 (this did include an $80 bottle of wine, note), my expectations are a little higher. Dos, this is not, and it's hard to imagine a scenario where I would come back to experience Bar Parisette a second time.

We recently had dinner on a Monday night at Piacere Mio Uptown with a group of ten neighbors. The…read morerestaurant is small, but beautiful. That said, we opted to sit outside. It was a little chilly, but it was a beautiful night, and the restaurant has heaters, so no one was cold. My husband and I arrived early and pre-ordered appetizers and two bottles of wine for the table. Monday nights, they have a half-price wine bottle special, so that's a nice perk. The table was beautifully set, and we were greeted by the person who would be our server for the night. He did an excellent job keeping our water glasses filled and making sure that everyone had what they needed. Cups of bread sliced into thick sticks and served with a dipping sauce were complimentary and delicious--a nice touch. For appetizers, we ordered the meatballs, calamari and burrata caprese. I heard good things about the burrata, but I did not get a taste. I was able to try the meatballs and calamari. They were good, but there was nothing to set them apart from versions that I have had at other restaurants. Piacere Mio Uptown makes their own fresh pasta, and there are many excellent pasta choices on the menu. There are many fish, veal, and chicken entrée choices, too. I had the Rigatoni Rustica--with braised short ribs, wild mushrooms, garlic, and ricotta. I have to say, it was one of the best pasta dishes that I have had in years. Not only was it incredibly flavorful, but the portion was very generous. Although I could have taken home a doggie bag, it was SO good, I had to finish it. My friend sitting next to me ordered the tuna--I believe it was a special that night. The portion was generous, and it as covered with a flavorful mix of herbs and such. It looked great, and my friend said that it was delicious. We had great service, and the entrees were delicious--we plan on returning soon. I highly recommend Piacere Mio Uptown.

We had several pizzas which were terrific (I normally am not a fan of super thin crust but I loved all 3 pizzas we tried - Flamin' Hot italian, Truffle Prosciutto, Hot Pepperoni) and the kids chicken tender meal. I had the Lincoln Park Mom Juice and Norweta Spritz to drink, both were delish. I have never been to the old Augie's which definitely did not look my style but this new Augie's is beautiful.

Some people had brunch and some enjoyed lunch. I had the green coconut curry, and it was amazingly delicious. Just the right amount of heat.

When I asked if they were gluten-free, they informed they were not but they'd see what they could do. They came out later with a huge bowl of gluten-free potatoes. So delicious and they really went the extra mile. Other things I love about this restaurant is that they use local produce and I believe they have their own garden as well. They also had a meal that day that you could order and would benefit a local nonprofit. Highly recommend this place! Not only was the ambience great but they have several rooms, two of which you can reserve for a private party, and they also do weddings in a larger area on the property.

The staff was friendly and nice, but it took forever for us to get a drink order in on a not particularly busy day, the food coming out also took quite a bit of time, and generally the service was slightly awkward and weird. We sat on the "patio" which is actually more of a greenhouse, the music was too loud, which then made people talk loudly and the experience was slightly overwhelming. While the group of people I went with are big on dessert and wanted it, we wanted to leave more and ended up doing so and going somewhere else. Given that I went with someone who is a little more high-profile in Chicago, we also felt gawked at and had people walking by the table that were working just to get a look. Maybe we just came in on a off night, but it definitely killed the vibe.
