First off, the vibes here are immaculate. The restaurant is located on the second floor of Soho House, and the ambiance is very intimate--perfect for a smaller party. The menu is pretty straightforward. There aren't a lot of options to choose from, but each item is very unique. What we ordered: Caliente en los Trópicos: pretty yummy! Supposed to be spicy, but the spice is not overbearing at all. An interesting cocktail. Ceviche: a great way to start the dinner. Very shareable; love the balance of sour and savory flavors. Tuna Tostada: my favorite! I've never had a tuna tostada before, and it's nothing like what I expected. Mussels: you cannot go wrong with the mussels. The bread goes so well with this. Considering the dishes seem so original and the quick service, I'd definitely recommend this spot to my friends. read more

Wow. This place blew away my expectations. The entire experience was on par. I couldn't believe it wasn't packed in there for brunch. It is a bit more upscale, so depending on what you order, you may be looking at $25-50 for brunch but everything we had was worth it. We started with the ceviche, which was unlike any I've had but the best I've ever had. The combination and complexity of flavors was amazing. The fresh tostada chips *chefs kiss* so happy my husband pushed to order that. He got the chicken enchiladas for his entree which wouldn't have been my choice but they were very good for enchiladas. I got the steak & eggs, which was on the pricier side and the pancakes (yes, I need two breakfasts). The steak has great flavor but was a tad over cooked for my medium rare liking but not dry by any means. The potatoes are not "smashed" as listed but were tasty nonetheless and came with a sauce that was BOMB. The pancakes were also delicious. Crispy outside and soft thick inside, almost an undertone of cornbread which I liked. The service was great as well! They do wait between courses, making for a longer meal, but it does ensure everything is fresh. Overall great experience. read more

What a spot! You cannot go wrong at Suenos, great vibe, top notch food and cool location inside the Soho house. We sampled quite a few items including the tuna tostada, sinaloa shrimp, the ceviche, the oysters, the pulpo skewers and the mussels. We also got two of the mocktail drinks, which were awesome, highly suggest the tamarind one! Love a spot that does good mocktails, very exciting for those who don't drink! Every single dish has such a unique taste and is paired with other ingredients in an intriguing and fun way. You really cannot go wrong on anything you choose but the mains we enjoyed the most were the shrimp and the oysters. The oysters broth is so good you want to drink it! The caramel on the flan is delectable, I would definitely get that as your dessert! The service is prompt, courteous and kind. Chef Stephen is a genius when it comes to keeping dishes fun and interesting and we cannot wait to be back! I am still thinking about all the different tastes from everything we ate! A meal that is memorable for sure, give it a visit as soon as you can! read more

We made reservations thinking this place would be packed. I was shocked to see it more than half empty during brunch right at opening. A few more parties did arrive by the time we were eating, but unfortunately didn't get all the way full. The entrance is a little confusing. The restaurant is upstairs and that is where the host is at. We walked all over looking for this place. We started off with a Bloody Mary. It was served with a pepper and had a nice spicy kick to it. We ordered a side of plantains and my wife ordered their Chilaquiles Rojos. These were served with a red sauce that tasted like something my mom or wife would have made. That says a lot. Some really home style flavors going on here. They also came with a fried egg, anejo cheese, crema and avocado. I don't eat it with avocado at home, and I must say, it adds a lot of flavor. I ordered their Aguachile. It was served with Kapachi fish, coconut, serrano, cucumber and avocado. This is my first time trying aguachile with fish. I've only ever had it made with shrimp. Aguachiles is traditionally a very spicy dish. Suenos version had virtually no heat at all. While still very flavorful, I will admit I was a tad bit disappointed. The good thing is that the plate itself was not disappointing, just the fact that it wasn't spicy at all. You can really taste the cucumber and coconut in their sauce. It had a very tropical and fresh taste to it. It was also served with a side of tostadas which is 100% required to eat this dish. (It looks like they have possibly changed their menu and it now has habanero instead of Serrano.) So I'm really curious now to see if the level is spice has changed up a bit. Overall, I know this is a pop up and it won't be around for much longer. I'll be curious to see what Chef Stephen Sandoval does next. I'll be sure to follow. read more

Ran a bit late and hostess was kinda bitchy about it so she just left a bad taste in my mouth. Otherwise, the staff and team at Suenos other than the hostess was awesome. Super accommodating, kind and incredibly patient. Drinks - get the Caliente los friscos. Very good. Oysters we're okay. The tostadas were incredible. Especially the mixto. Ceviche was very good. Had a nice kick to it. The Black Caesar was interesting. Didn't really taste like a Caesar salad so their take on it was eh. The pulpo skewer was awesome but I couldn't help thinking about My Octopus teacher. The steak was super delicious. Nicely charred and Smokey. Flan was ok. Wasn't the best ever but this off menu merengue with mango sorbet was great. read more

I'm torn since I had such huge high expectations and they didn't let me down in any way, but I thought the food wasn't as great as it could have been. The service was wonderful and attentive and food came out timely, but not rushed. The extra star is for the staff. Plates were okay in size, but many of the flavors weren't as punchy as I would expect. I'd want aguachile to be citrus forward, negro fish to be smoky and sauces to be more in your face. Everything tasted fine, but at the end of the night we decided we don't need to hurry back. read more

There has been a lot of social media hype around this pop-up, but I was very underwhelmed. The dishes are small, so you have to order at least 4 between two people. This racks up and gets expensive - and with these prices you might as well go to a nicer restaurant in West Loop. The octopus was the best dish and flavorful, but the others weren't anything special. We were recommended the tuna tostada, but this wasn't great and lacked in size and flavor. The soft shell crab was our second favorite dish, and the hamachi collar was tasty too. My cocktail was supposed to be their signature 'spicy margarita' with mezcal, but there was no spice and just lots of sugary juice. Service was super quick and the place unique, but I was pretty disappointed overall! read more

My husband and I came by here yesterday to check this restaurant out for the first time. Suenos did not disappoint. Suenos Ceviche (10/10) This ceviche was packed full of flavor and I really loved the marinade. Even after the actual ceviche was gone, I was scooping up more of the marinade with the tostadas. Plantains (10/10) Large portion and good for two people to share. The plantains themselves are cooked perfectly, but they are also served some sort of creamy topping. I literally have no idea what the topping was, but it really helped elevate the plantains. Pescado Taco (10/10) I think this is the first time I have ever spent $10 for 1 taco, but this taco was one of the better fish tacos I've had in a while. The fish to topping ratio worked out well. I also loved the hot sauce it came with. Definitely worth ordering. read more

5/5- highly recommend! Sad that this is a pop up and I wish it was a permanent place. We tried the skirt steak and burrito (which also had steak inside!). Both were delicious. The burrito had just the right amount of crunch and warmth. Tasted fresh and filing. I was very full by the half way through. The ingredients list in the menu said fries so I thought I'd get a side of fries but plot twist- they were inside the burrito! The steak was also delicious. Perfectly cooked to medium and generous portion. The cocktails we tried (bienvenidas las hojitas and caliente en los tropicos) were also delicious. Service was very friendly and quick. I would definitely visit again!! read more

Suenos x Soho House - Burrito and skirt steak - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Overall decent food but didn't live up to expectations. We came on a Wednesday night and we're excited to check out this pop-up in the Soho house. It is open to the public but there is a discount for soho members. We ordered - Suenos ceviche: the ceviche was heavy on the tomato and lime which masked the seafood. It was hard to make out the snapper which was hidden under the sauce. Ceviche is meant to be fresh but this ceviche was pretty disappointing. - Skirt steak: the steak itself was cooked close to medium rare but lacked flavor and char. It was too tough and the quality of the meat wasn't great. The side of potato and grilled tomato was good and the tomato in particular was much needed with the dry steak. - Pulpo skewers: Octopus was good and we liked the sauce drizzled on top with lime. Note that the skewers itself are half potato rather than all octopus so it is less octopus than pictures look. - Cocktails: we ordered the fresco and guera which were both very light. The fresco comes in a topo chico bottle with a chamoy rim which is fun but the cocktail itself was oddly room temperature. read more

Great service and spectacular food quality! Came for lunch and was shocked it wasn't packed. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations and came out in a timely manner. I heard it's packed for dinner and brunch, so perhaps lunch is the move! Not pictured was my cucumber mocktail that's on the menu, yum! Started with the salad and it melted in your mouth. Loved the presentation and ingredients. Next I got the cod taco and was not disappointed. It actually was bigger than I was expecting, not one of those mini hand held ones. The side of plantains was filling and glad we didn't get a second because the portion was generous! Overall would come back and recommend to friends! read more

Incredible pop-up restaurant located inside of SoHo House in the West Loop. It's only open for 6 months so GO NOW! The mariscos concept menu is beyond delicious, you seriously cannot go wrong with anything you order. Our server was so helpful and sweet sharing her recommendations for what to order. The restaurant itself is a bit loud but nothing out of the ordinary for a Friday night in the city. Prices were decent for the locations / what we ordered. Listing what we got below -- everything was great. - tuna tostada - sueños ceviche - pulpo skewers - skirt steak read more

My visit here exceeded all my expectations-I'm afraid I'm really spoiled now from the quality of all their seafood dishes! We came in on Friday night around 8 and got a high table as walk ins but if you have time to make a reservations that's the safer bet. It's an intimate cozy space with an open kitchen and bar so you can see the whole restaurant from any spot. Since it's small it's a little loud the atmosphere was fun and lively. We started with two drinks. One was caliente en los trópicos which is a tequila (or maybe mezcal) with guava, passion fruit, and coconut. This one was incredible not super sweet and the creamy coconut+smoky alc worked beautifully together. My partner got the tinto en el invierno which reminded me of a sangria but had brandy and some spices in it as well-fantastic. We shared 6 oysters (3 white soy and 3 pico), pico were my favorite- definitely worth getting even if your iffy about oysters. The citrusy spice helps balance any fishy taste. Now for the mains. The pescado taco blew my mind into pieces. It's this massive piece of cod fried in crispy brown batter and served on a bed of shredded cabbage all on a corn tortilla with a side of red salsa. It was crunchy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and moist-fall apart on the inside. This was the best piece of fried fish I've ever eaten. The mixta tostada was a mix of octopus and shrimp with avocado, sliced radishes, and some other ingredients on a tostada and this was also incredible. The textures of the seafood, avocado, and crispy tostada worked so well! The pulpo skewers features octopus that was tender and not over cooked alternating with baby potatoes all drizzled with some chimichurri. I was so pleased with every part of this meal and I'll be on the lookout for more pop ups from this group in the future! read more

Chef Sandoval is on his way to greatness! Chef-curated the entire experience from the minute you walked in as we began our journey to Baja. From the custom-created artwork and design to the live DJ creating an upbeat musical vibe that set the mood for me. Hats off to the mixologist who designed a drink/wine menu that brought out the uniqueness and flavours of Baja. When it comes to the food, I have two main thoughts. One is flavour profile (layers and umami), and the second does it gives me an emotional reaction. I can confidently say Chef achieved both in every dish we ordered. (chingon oysters, tuna tostada, mixta tostada, kanpachi belly tostada, suenos ceviche, rosarito coctel, aguachile, avocado and asparagus salad, pescado taco, diego burrito, pulpo skewers, and the sinaloa shrimp puerto nuevo.) I hope that this turns into a permanent restaurant! read more

Given the location in the public area of the Soho house, I honestly thought the portion size would be small for the price, so I was surprised when we asked about portion size and the waiter said that the taco was pretty filling... he was right! This place is actually pretty good value for your price. The ceviche enough is to make me want to come back. It came with tortillas on the side and when eaten together, it was so delicious. They even brought over more tortillas when we ran out to pair with the broth, which exemplifies the great service. The burrito was massive! I didn't try it though since my friend got it. Only thing about the taco is I wish the tortilla was bigger as it was very difficult to eat because it was a thick (which is good) piece of fish read more

Absolutely incredible food, drinks, service and ambiance! 20/10 review! Everything we ordered was delicious. My personal favorite was the octopus dish--cooked to perfection and drizzled with a tasty chimichurri sauce. Suenos is a pop up restaurant that's only available for a short time so I highly recommend booking a reservation fast!! read more

Wow - out of this world food at the first of its kind pop-up between Chef Sandoval and Soho House. Inside of Soho House Chicago, past the dimly lit bar and up a flight of stairs, you will find a one of a kind dining experience. From the space; the decor; the art; the cocktails; and the food --- everything has intention (learned this directly from a convo with Chef Sandoval) and it is perfection. Start off with a few apps to share and then dive into the main courses. If they ask you if you want to add Uni - say yes. It's Baja cuisine with a SoCal twist. The pictures speak for themselves!!! read more

Came here with some friends for what I thought was a quick bite. We shared the ceviche and it was so good, very flavorful, the sauce was amazing, the fish was amazing, the torta shells were so good just a party in your mouth. To drink I got the Guera which was a bit too brunchy for what I was eating but it was still good, quite sweet. After I ordered the Shrimp with tortillas on the side. The shrimp was good, it was fresh, flavorful but a bit oily for my liking so make sure you squeeze that lime on it. The shrimp comes with some heads so if your squeamish, take note. My friend ordered oysters for the table and those were quite tasty as well. (Hint: if you have ceviche sauce left over put it in the oyster, *chef's kiss*) To finish off my experience I ordered this basil drink with gin and it was very refreshing. I'd go back, but I will say the prices are $$. All the food was amazing though so I would recommend. read more

Suenos x Soho House - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been wanting to visit this place and finally did tonight. Food was excellent. We tried a lot of dishes as you can see below and they were all freshly made. Tostadas - kanpachi belly, tuna and mixed seafood. Ceviche - was creamy with the right amount of lime and fish was melt-in-your-mouth fresh. Chingon Oysters - these were the highlight for me! Tried them with the mignonettes and also plain. I like to taste my oysters so I ordered them plain with the mignonette on the side. Kanpachi collar - very tasty with the salsa macha Soft shell crab - crispy and great with the sauce! Pulpo (octopus) skewer - very tender! Octopus tends to be tricky and they did a great job! Flan - creamy and delicate with the caramelized syrup! Rice - it was good but I felt that it was pricey. Suggest lower the price or serve more. Trying to think if I forgot something else! read more

Venue: Above the SOHO bar (Fox Bar), art in the space is fun and lively - by a local artist. The vibe is hip and also inviting. Staff: welcoming and knowledgeable about the restaurant and menu. They were quick to refill waters and reset napkins if you left your seat. Food: the quality and presentation of the food was phenomenal. The fish was incredible and the mix of flavors was so well done. We enjoyed every item we ordered Sueños Ceviche - this was the crowd fave. Aguachile - another ceviche - also very good Soft Shell Crab - it is a small serving but so well done. It was such a great dish. I almost licked the plate to get all the cheese and dressing. Deals: they have happy hour prices too! read more

Pop-up restaurant at Soho House that seems to be doing so well it really isn't so much a pop-up anymore. Small space and shareable plates are tough. The tiny tables are not very conducive for sharing. Very very loud and difficult to hold conversation, but I'm at that grumpy old woman stage where I can no longer stand noise above a certain decibel (note to self start a Yelp list of restaurants where one can actually carry on a conversation). Overall the food we had was good. I also enjoyed my cocktail as it was fruity without being too sweet and did not have a lot of alcohol (also at that stage). read more

Suenos x Soho House - Steak and Eggs - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was such a disappointing meal. From the service to the food, everything was below average. It's definitely a skip from me. The atmos was vibrant and bumping on a Friday night. The one good thing was despite the loudness, it was tolerable and was able to have a conversation. Tables did have room so it wasn't like it was packed like sardines. The service was horrible. We sat for 20 minutes before receiving water. Waiter forgot drink order and took another 20 minutes to come out. No plates, napkins, or silverware when our food started coming out. The food was EXTREMELY salty. Like most of it felt like I was putting my tongue on a salt block. The oysters were decent HOWEVER poorly shucked and bits of the shells were in the oysters. Also, no little forks to help loosen the oyster out of shell. Overall, the oysters just felt like it was missing something. I couldn't really taste much of the different flavors. The tuna tostada was completely overpowered by the diosa roja. It was swimming in a red soup. Not a ton of flavor except I definitely got the chili oil flavor...which I didn't mind but was too spicy for the hubs. The fish taco was so salty it was basically inedible. Also, a small taco for $10 and even smaller piece of cod. Brutal. Sinaloa shrimp tasted like frozen shrimps you could've gotten from jewel. Same flavor as the tuna except not as spicy. 4 small shrimp for $36...seems a little high! Even in the current environment. Diego burrito tasted like a really good chipotle burrito. This was by far the best thing we had...which was extremely disappointing considering that this place is supposed to be seafood focused and our burrito was steak. The drinks were below average as well. I ordered a spicy skinny margarita. It was so disgusting. The one positive was it was spicy, but the flavor didn't even taste like tequila. So horrible. I didn't want to send it back because by this time, we had already been waiting for 30+ minutes. The fresco was so sweet. I wished it had been more soda water and less sugary. I didn't taste any liquor in it. Pretty sad cocktails Overall loved the vibe and was really looking forward to seafood forward street food...unfortunately this is definitely a pass for me. read more

Suenos x Soho House - Chilaquiles with chicken - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hit me in spots I didn't even know existed! This was the best birthday dinner I could have ever asked for. I've always wanted to check out Soho house, but I can't because I'm not a member so it was cool to get a glimpse... But gosh. The food, the vibes, the service were spectacular. I've never had 'borderless Baja cuisine' before and I found it inventive, fresh and packed with flavor. All the food was presented to beautifully and vibrant. We tried the chingon oysters, the ceviche, the skirt steak, and the tuna tostada. It was all so different and so fresh. The prices were really good in my opinion. There is a discount if you're a soho member by $1, but I still found everything to be priced well for the quality and the environment. Going to try their brunch next! read more

I came across this brunch place while hunting for chilaquiles in ChiTown. And although a few places do their chilaquiles well, the one here easily falls in my top 5 chilaquiles including the ones I have had in Mexico! I was surprised to find this restaurant holed up in Soho house. We had trouble finding the entrance as there were no signs and staff from Soho house directed us to this space on their mezzanine floor. The ambience was dark, subtle and cute. We ordered our drinks - I got the spirit free tamarindo and my partner got a mexican coke. Tamarindo was a great refreshing drink with flavors of sour and sweet! I ordered the chilaquiles with salsa roja and it was fantastic! The right flavors, just-enough-spicy, the tortilla chips were smothered in the right amount of salsa unlike others where sometimes chilaquiles feel more like nachos. My partner got a chicken enchiladas which he loved and finished under 10 minutes and he is a slow eater! Our server was really great as well - very attentive and gave us great recommendations. Overall, I am gonna be back soon! read more

We had a perfectly pleasant meal here and all of the food was good (not great) but it ultimately struck us as a lesser version of what Leña Brava used to be (before Bayless' departure). So while it's nice to have the opportunity to eat somewhat similar food as the old Leña Brava, it left me yearning for the old restaurant and it's far superior flavors. One can only hope that Rick graces us with another restaurant in the future. In the meantime, this isn't a bad option but don't expect to be wowed. read more
