Beautiful decor and fun music. Very hip. Service was ok. Duck was delicious but the braised beef was too rich and hard to finish. Drinks were ok, nothing special. It looks like they have a great happy hour menu, I will be back to try it. read more

Fulton Market Kitchen - Roasted Rohan Duck Breast - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Aesthetics and service at this place was impeccable! Top notch service and atmosphere in the West Loop! The food was great also although the menu was pretty limited, but I enjoyed the items that I tried. We were told it was family style and I'm glad I got that recommendation because I tried a little of everything. My favorite was the chicken and salad, but everything we tasted was very unique! It's on the pricey side, but definitely worth trying the well curated dishes! read more

Visit this place on a Saturday night. Didn't make reservations and were able to get a table (bar area was open as well). I had a mezcal beet drink, it was yummy, however, it was a 6oz glass with a very heavy ice CUBE that if I had lifted, would have left me with 2oz of liquid. The menu was extremely limited. 4-5 items tops. No chicken option at all, 1 steak and the rest seafood. We went for the appetizers which were super small. Not even shareable. The only shareable appetizer was the whipped feta with pita. However, that feta was filled with gardinera peppers! It was spicy, even if you didn't eat the peppers. Left there still hungry and with a burning stomach/ acid reflux from the spicy feta whip. The decor was interesting. Best part of this place. read more

Orderd steak and eggs came with no eggs and frozen potato that haven't been Thawed Terrible ! Had to wait another 20 min The manager never to apologize and mean while we had to pay for steak and eggs after all !! Asked for bread bagel or anything to munch on while the food arrives !! Didn't bring it !!! Just a terrible time Will not recommend it ;( read more

This is a cool concept for a fun fast casual but elevated contemporary dining experience. Basically a food court with a wide array of global food options. We had some items from a Mediterranean place and a polish/Colombia place. We had a bowl and a wrap from the Mediterranean spot and meat and sauces were spot on. Juicy and flavorful. I had potatoes and cabbage slaw from the polish/Colombian place and was not as impressed. The potatoes were hot and really fresh but just basic and unseasoned. The slaw was also super fresh and crisp- but basically just tasted like straight vinegar- nothing special at all- to be honest- I have made both better potatoes and slaw at home for much less than I spent here. The space also has a giant bar and outdoor seating. A great place to meet up with friends or bring visitors too- but also maybe a bit pricey to frequent all the time. It's also pretty loud inside (both with crowd chatter and music choices- in case that's something that bothers you- it will) read more

Unique and interesting atmosphere. Unacceptable service. Staff was nice and tuned into the fact the service was bad, but couldn't rectify it. We had an 8pm reservation, couldn't order until after 9 and despite not doing a dessert course we didn't get out until after 11. We got a round of free shots to acknowledge the poor service pretty early in the night, but the service never improved. We had a party of 8 which I understand comes with its own challenges. 4 people were served 30 minutes before the other 4. And to top it all off, the tip was included in the bill at 20% which would normally be no problem, but the tip should reflect the level of service and that choice was taken from us. Our first drink order took about an hour to fulfill from the time we sat down and they weren't busy. Portions were small. They had about 5 different entree options and 2 were sold out at 8pm on Friday. Really trying to find a silver lining but ultimately at a loss. The steak was cooked well but it was the final dish served after most people at the table finished eating. The cocktails were pretty pricey but we were able to get a bottle of wine for about $60 which was nice because it doesn't require the wait staff for refills. Our bill for 9 people was well over 100 per plate with 0 happy customers. Plenty of other places to try before giving this place a second chance. read more

Five stars for service which was impeccable! Shoutout to our beautiful hostess who looked like Selena Gomez and also our very cool waiter! A-Plus ambiance for chilling and having dinner. The 3 stars is for the food. Hit and miss unfortunately. The octopus dish was the highlight, very good. We had the tuna sashimi, burrata, and bacon dishes as well which were ok. Would return for another try though. Definitely not a one and done. read more

I stopped by here a couple weeks ago on a Friday night. It's a great vibe once you enter and the staff is super friendly. I met some friends here and sat at the bar. Immediately the bartender served us and was super attentive throughout the evening. I really enjoyed myself and the drinks were great! The decor inside the restaurant is very unique and really gives the place its own charm. Parking in the area isn't great, so it's best to uber. Next time I will try the dinner menu and see how that is. I did notice the people that were eating dinner seemed to be seated very closely together with other tables, so if you are looking for a more private setting this might not be it. The seating arrangements are nice and there is some cute sofa loungey type seating available as well. read more

Another basic West Loop restaurant that scams you with hidden fees. Why does my Sunday brunch ticket have a 21% "late night service charge? Why am I being charged a 3.75% "transaction surcharge"? So let me get this straight...You want me to pay your credit card processing fees? You want me to cover your cost of doing business? F outta here! Furthermore if you have s negotiated rate of 3.5%, please allow me to introduce you to either Adyen or NCR - they will both beat that %. Moral to the story, STAY AWAY! 1. Basic food 2. Extremely basic overpriced drinks! 3. Unethical fees! read more

Overall: The hype and ambience unfortunately doesn't make up for some of the restaurants flaws, but it was still great nonetheless. The good: You come in part for the art and ambience, and for the most part it delivers on that front. We did a walk around to see all the cool exhibits there were to see, and not a room disappointed. As for the food, the lamb shank and cheesecake were both standouts. The lamb fell off the bone and seemingly melted in your mouth. The not-so-good: Our waiter was not attentive, helpful, or descriptive about the menu and offerings. Even when we asked, the explanations of dishes left much to imagination. For the quality and size of the plates, if was too expensive. It shouldn't compare to 5 star restaurants. The ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant is great, but our table was right in front, the seats were uncomfortable, and it was a bit disappointing. Atmosphere: 8.5/10 Service: 6/10 Food: 7/10 read more

The food was okay. I am always disappointed when a restaurant of this caliber serves food that is not hot. Our crab stuffed peppers were not completely heated. Additionally, the restaurant area had a faint smell of a bathroom sewer drain. There are much better dining choices in the area. read more

It's fine. If you're a big group it's easy to get a res. The food was fine nothing special. Some things were very salty, like the salmon.

One of my all time favorite restaurants in Chicago! Came here one night for a special occasion and loved every part of my meal here! I came here with a friend on a weekday night and was seated fairly quickly (although we had a reservation) in a fairly sparely populated restaurant. This made me skeptical at first...but once our food came out, my skepticism quickly disappeared! If there's any complaint I have for this place, it's that the lighting is just a liiiiittle too dim for my taste, and some of the seats are rather low for the tables. Anyways. Back to the food. We started out with 2 smaller dishes, including the heirloom tomatoes and another tuna dish (which I don't see on the menu anymore unfortunately). The heirloom tomatoes were served fresh with a buttermilk based dressing and incredibly creamy cheese that melted in your mouth. The tuna was freshly seared on the outsides and packed a punch as well from a flavor and texture standpoint. I think I may have enjoyed the smaller dishes even more than I enjoyed the main dishes we got! Moving onto the main dishes, we got the striped bass and the prawns. These each were incredibly flavorful in different ways, which worked well together. The bass was tender and the prawns were juicy. I especially like the broths these were coated in. We also added a side of brussel sprouts, which surprisingly came as a huge plate of veggies -- a huge portion for the price. These were seared to perfection and came coated with bacon. Yum! In terms of the service, I was satisfied with Fulton Market Kitchen. I felt we were attended to very promptly. There was a slight mishap with our brussel sprout order-- we ordered them without the almonds because my friend has a nut allergy but the first order we received did in fact, still have the almonds in them (which I only noticed after first tasting them!). This, however, was quickly corrected. Overall, definitely a place worth going to if you're looking for a nice dinner! For what you get, Fulton Market Kitchen is a great balance of high quality food at fair prices! read more

I loved it. Went there during the Chicago restaurant week, the beef was amazing. The ambience with the lights and arts was also great! Service was good! I recommend especially if you have a especial occasion read more

Went here on a Saturday. First ones to arrive (5pm). Were quickly seated as a result and it quickly filled up too! So, book ahead, it's a popular spot. Decor is lovely and the art work is very interesting. Take a walk around the restaurant. Much to see. But, you are here for the food. Ordered the beef tartare, tuna, prawn & the burger. Easily, the burger is one of the best I've had. Only other place I can think of with a burger this good is the Bristol. Now, the tuna is a close second favorite of mine. Didn't try the dessert. Overall, great place. Easily holds its own and I'd definitely return. read more

A beautiful little dark room bar deep in the depths of Fulton market Fulton market kitchen is a very chill place where you can drink and hang out without having to hurt your eyes too much. The servers were great, very attentive and very alert the food here is good, but you have to remember it is bar food so you're not gonna get a lot portion wise, but it is excellent when you're having a cocktail we're just hanging out with a friend. The only problems I have with this place is is that it's very easy to miss and sometimes they blow their air-conditioning a little bit too high other than that it's a beautiful little bar. read more

This is my second time dining at Fulton Market Kitchen - I was there once pre-COVID (or during COVID, I don't remember) and they had an amazing Tomahawk Steak, which they no longer carry unfortunately. Overall the dishes were delicious - I tried the mussels, the salmon and the raw fish appetizer. Slightly on the salty side, but pretty good. The one thing worth mentioning is that this is not a $$ place, more like a $$$. read more

I came here with some friends for restaurant week. I enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. There was beautiful art everywhere, and I enjoyed the R&B music selection. For restaurant week it was $48 for four courses and the portions were incredibly small. Also, the restaurant week menu was the only thing that was offered. My friend tried to order something off the regular menu but was not allowed to. Overall the food was pretty tasty, but I was just expecting more. I really enjoyed the Beetroot Carpaccio. The pistachio relish added the perfect amount of crunch to this dish. I would also recommend the Stuffed Eggplant. I was a little disappointed by the lobster ravioli. The ravioli was a little tuff and had an extremely fishy taste. For $48 dollars and four courses... I shouldn't have left the restaurant as hungry as I was. read more

This review is specifically for the 365 Bellakeo Latin Saturday event at Fulton Market Kitchen and not the food service at FMK. By far the most unacceptably rude staff that I have ever encountered at a venue. Got denied entry when we reserved tickets ahead of time, so the ad for the event is blatantly false advertising. Most importantly, the man working the entrance communicated this like a disrespectful swine on a power trip. Would recommend to party elsewhere and not give your money to these people. read more

Nice place to have a meal. The vibe at night was perfect. The art on the walls are great and in walking distance from bars and other places. Went here before going to the rooftop cinema and it was perfect. read more

Food was VERY good and the restaurant has a great ambiance! I recommend the hummus and the burger

It wasn't worth my time to go out of my way to visit this place. I had high hopes too. The food was expensive and it was meh. The food selections didn't call my attention either. I expected more of a variety. The rooftop bar was lame. They have shitty beer selections. I did find a decent beer at the main bar on ground floor. read more

We had a 6pm dinner reservation for 6 people. The service was so terrible that we didn't finish eating until after 10pm. The waiter suggested all these changes and upcharges to make the food better and it was honestly so bad. We had two of the shrimp pastas and there was so much zest that it was inedible... MASSIVE chunks- we were actually laughing so hard because it was shocking. After about an hour and a half of waiting for our food they brought us a round of complimentary drinks only after I asked. The waiter was frustrated they must just be understaffed??? read more

Enjoyed this spot on a Friday night. It's kinda hidden in the Fulton Market area behind some construction right now but totally worth the find. This place has beautiful art on every wall. We were seated in an area that had a full 12 foot wall covered in one giant art canvas. Super dope. We got there pretty late after checking out a few other places that fell flat that night. We were pleasantly surprised. The drinks were great, although I asked for a French martini and they had no pineapple juice....On a Friday night...Say what? The bartender tried to make my drink with orange juice. Big fail. But they comped the drink and gave me another cocktail on the menu that was really good. So apparently they have a burger that you can only order late at night because it's supposed to be so good that they didn't want it to dominate orders of everything else on the menu. Comes with fries cooked in beef fat. THIS BURGER AND FRIES COMBO WAS SO DAMN GOOD! They are open till 3am so I highly suggest you get over there to try it anytime after 10pm. The right amount of cheese, grease and flavor. Yum. I will be back, I would love to check out the live art that they have on Friday nights. read more

Came here for a date night dinner w reservations. It's easy to get a table for FMK. I'm so torn on this place. Love the look of it. It's got a decent cocktail program and wine list, but the service is so slow it takes up your entire night. We had reservations for 8:30 and didn't put a drink order in until 8:57. Food took a very long time as well. We had mussels and some pasta dishes that were tasty overall. We didn't leave the restaurant until after 11. I wish I could say this might have been just a rough night, but this was the 2nd time we've encountered this experience here. With the very stiff competition in this neighborhood, I feel sad that it happened again. If you aren't in a hurry and want to just linger with a group in a pretty space, this place is a good bet! read more

We had a large family celebration in one of the private dining rooms. The restaurant and bar have a super cool, artistic and unique vibe. Our waiter, Luke, was attentive, thorough and provided excellent service (along with a few other waitstaff who helped with service and clearing). In contrast to other reviews, our food was all served in a timely manner, and was synced well so we were all able to dine at the same time. Amazing and unique cocktails. We ordered probably 75% of the menu, and everyone was happy with their selections. The manager took the time to come over to check on how we were doing. We can't wait to come back on our next trip to Chicago. Thanks again! read more

Our family of 11 celebrated a college graduation and a birthday at this fabulous restaurant. We are from both Northern and Southern California and consider ourselves real foodies. The chef is extraordinary in both the quality of the food preparation as well as its presentation . We shared almost all of the appetizers and several cocktails , entrees and desserts. Each one was delicious and unique. The staff was extremely gracious and accommodating, making this a most memorable event. We will definitely return on our next trip to Chicago!-Marge and Al H. read more

I tried the Beef Fat Fries, Brussels & Burrata, Duck Confit, Braised Beef Short Ribs, & Sourdough Ciabatta. I had the Liquid Sunshine for drinks which tasted like a tropical hot toddy. I came here with reservations on a Friday night with some friends. Some cool things to note about the food: the Sourdough Ciabatta comes with a tallow candle which is made out of beef fat and butter- so totally edible. It comes out while it's melting into the tomato jam. Delicious. The duck and beef meat were tasty and juicy. The bone marrow emulsion came with the bone itself and the emulsion is sour. This sour tastes cuts into the heavy tasting short ribs and beef jus so it balanced out- super good. Beef fat fries and brussel sprouts were good. I believe the menu changes periodically, but I don't think I've ever had a bad experience here before. The restaurant itself is also an art gallery so there is a lot to see. Artistic scene. read more

I've been coming here for years... since they opened. We had great times, great music and great food and drinks but it was all in the past. Wait staff was exceptional as always, but the dining experience was mediocre at best. Half inch pork chop is not a pork chop and 2 ounce martini is not a martini. I'm not complaining because it was expensive, I want my proper pork chop and proper martini and you can darn well charge me double and I'll be leaving happy. This place needs a sensible management, and till then I won't be visiting. read more

Before my review... the very reason that drew me in at the very beginning was that scallops and the beef cheek dish on its menu on the website. But when we were presented with the menu, we were told that they just recently changed their menu, and that the two dishes that I was interested in disappeared from the menu :( Fortunately, there were something else on the menu that caught our attention as well. My friend had the halibut. She was super glad with the chowder cream sauce. The creamy texture paired perfectly with the delicate piece of fish. I ordered the venison dish. Oh boy may I tell you how amazing it was. I was such a huge fan of incorporating sweet element into a savory dish. And this dish was a perfect example for that. The blackberry gastrique amazingly complemented the wild and gamey flavor of the venison. Only if I can easily get access to venison at my local grocery, I would be more than glad to replicate this at home! The highlight of the night was for sure the dessert. It was honestly hard to choose among those three wonderful and creative sweet options lol. As our server suggested, we went with the S'MORE. Geez were we presented with a plate of pleasant surprise! Not only did all the elements remind me of S'MORE, the presentation of the dish even looked like a fire pit. The smokey flavor in the ice cream elevated the flavor to another level. Just amazing. Knowing that Fulton Market Kitchen changes its menu seasonally, I will for sure come back and try its new menu in the fall. See you later :) read more

Two words . . . .Suckling Pig! If you go- you must have this dish. But before I reveal my food bliss, let me tell you a little about this newest addition to the West Loop. As what can only be described as a cross between an art gallery, vintage shop and great restaurant, Fulton Market Kitchen did a nice job of impressing me the other night. First up- know that this is located in the space of the old Victor Hotel club. Trust me- other than the location- you would not know it was the same space as it has been totally redone from top to bottom. The signage is small so know that this location is not actually on Fulton but rather on Sangamon north of Fulton. Pull open the brightly painted doors and you will find yourself in a tiled hallway that beckons you to enter. If I had to describe the interior- it would be artsy fun. Some of the walls have huge graphics painted on them (think street art) some have paintings that gave me pause (the woman bird, for example) But the art thematic continues to the decor which is also eclectic and fun with stacked suitcases making up the bottom of the bar, and menu pages glued into old art books. You may have your "high ball" delivered in a kitchsy old glass with cartoon, or other characters emblazoned on the side. Reminded me of the glasses my mom served me milk in when I was a kid but today these are only for adult beverages! I loved that I had the McDonald's character, Grimace, on my glass! The food was quite good (remember that suckling pig I started out with?) The pig for two was amazing with just the right crust on it to chew your way through along with green beans and onion strings, this was the highlight of our dinner! The grilled octopus was also quite good as was the "beet carpaccio" (not a typo- it was a thinly sliced beet that I had to be convinced to eat but once I did I was hooked. The fries were okay (loved the citrus alioi sauce and the ketchup that accompanied them) As for dessert? The banana bread pudding was a definite winner- so much so that one of the guys in the bar who wasn't even in our group finished it off for us! The crowd is lively, fun and engaging. By the time we left at 10 on a Thursday night- the place was packed (does anyone work anymore???) But no matter as we had had our fun and it was time to turn our seats at the bar over to the next group. If there was a downside, it would be the noise level. This place is loud so if quiet conversation is what you crave, get there early for as the place fills up, the decibel level goes up as well. Dinner for two ran about $140 but there were plenty of drinks on there as well! So go . . .go now . . .and don't forget to order the suckling pig! Say it with me! Suckling Pig. Just the words alone make me smile. read more
