Grown and Sexy Atmosphere. A casual neighborhood cocktail bar that has a full bar serving specialty cocktails and well made drinks and small food plates. FYI... Meter parking along the streets. Eat before you come or stop next door for a pizza. Kettlestrings Grove only serves small plates. My first time was a good experience. The bartender was attentive. I ordered The Morton drink and it gave me a nice smooth buzz. Great Location, Prices were decent and the service was amazing. Will be coming back to see if they ordered the other star.

Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The ribeye steak was just as impressive it was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Their signature cocktail The View, definitely did its job ! It had me feeling just right along with the lemon drops . A huge shoutout to our server Briele she was attentive informative, and so patient throughout our visit. She even surprised us with free shots for our first time, which made the experience even more special. I would honestly request her every time! Also, Marques at the bar helped make our happy hour experience top tier. Thank you The View 1701 I'll definitely be back!

I absolutely love The View's kale salad, which is why I was really disappointed with my most recent…read moreexperience. I placed a takeout order, and when I was told my total was around $30, I immediately questioned why it was so high. I asked for a receipt so I could see exactly what I was being charged for and discovered that the price for the add-on chicken was incorrect, PLUS there was an automatic $5 service fee. A $5 service fee on a TAKEOUT order is excessive to me. I'm picking up my own food no table service, no server, no dining experience, so I'm not sure what exactly the $5 service fee is covering. I intentionally try to support Black-owned businesses and businesses in our community, but I also expect transparency and fair pricing. It's frustrating when the very customers who want to support an establishment feel like they're being nickel-and-dimed with additional fees. Unfortunately, as much as I love the kale salad, this experience was enough for me to take my business elsewhere. I hate to say that because I genuinely wanted to continue supporting this establishment.

Let's put it this way, there was nearly a fight in the parking lot when I was there, and the cops had to be called to break it all up. They have the standard bar drinks. Maybe one craft beer, but nothing special there. And no food. The staff is nice enough, especially if you're a regular. If it's your first time in, then just be your friendly self and you'll be fine. This is by far the diviest dive bar in the area. You're kinda taking your life into your hands coming here (alright, not really true, but it can feel like it). Other bars in the area (along Madison Ave or up closer to the Green Line stop) are going to be a little nicer, friendlier and you're probably less likely to get hepatitis.

I also had the nachos which were kind of sweet and tasted really good. Normally sweet and chips dont go together in my experience but this was delicious. Also had Angel as my server and he was really nice, we chatted on the tamales for a minute while my parents who i was eating with payed for the food, he also served us pretty timely and had good timing, didnt catch me with my mouth full once which is nice and my parents had the same experience in that. The surroundings were loud but thats just what a friday night is like and its nothing the restaurant can really do. Overall really good experience, good food which was overall on the sweet side and a good server who was really nice and had good timing even though it was very busy (came in and had to wait a tad kind of busy).

We tried their Market Ceviche which was on their Weekly Specials menu..Cured Mahi Mahi Brazilian Papaya,Tangerine Habanero sauce served with Sweet Potato chips.fresh and delicious. For our entrees we tried the Barbacoa Tacos and Blackened Fish(Tilapia) tacos. Both entrees were 21.00 for 3 tacos but no rice or beans on the side so a little pricey in my opinion. Street parking is a challenge but they do offer valet for 5.00. They have a fantastic patio that is open in the summer so we will definitely be back to enjoy a few cocktails and Latin American eats.
