    We ordered takeout and it was surprisingly better than I was expecting! Still warm and tasted like it came right out of the oven. The fries were ehh, I bet they would have been significantly better if we dined in but can't complain. We ordered boneless & traditional wings and they both came out saucey and meaty. Also got the fried pickles with garlic aioli fries, so good. This place was packed packed on a Thursday evening, very surprising and happy for the restaurant! Not sure if a deal was going on or what but there was practically a line out the door of people waiting. There was games, so maybe that was the special occasion or Wings & Rings is just that poppin'. Thank you Wings & Rings, I will be back soon enough. Personal Review: 8.1/10

    I had nothing but an exceptional experience at W&R. Went here for lunch and was welcomed promptly at the front and sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly, made great recommendations and found a very good balance of chatting but not talking my ear off. The food was outstanding. I had the ghost pepper ranch (traditional) and Korean (smoked). Both were perfectly cooked, had great taste and had good heat. Rings lived up to being in the name of the restaurant too. I am honestly shocked by all the tough reviews as I would rank their wings near the top in the city and had nothing but great service. Perhaps they have really turned things around as I will definitely come back.

    Ordered takeout from here and it was a little disappointed... I know that fried items are best one eaten at the restaurant, but these were the soggiest wings I've ever had! Granted I did get cauliflower wings, and so maybe the vegetable had more liquid in it than chicken, but there was almost no breading on the cauliflower and I felt like I was just eating cauliflower seasoned with a little bit of breading. I love cauliflower so I didn't mind but I did want something a little bit more crunchy. The onion rings were fantastic though! I would be open to trying again maybe eating at the restaurant.

    Meh.. mediocre and expensive I visited Wings and Rings for the first time in years last night. Afterward, I knew exactly why I'd previously stayed away. There are much better dining options worthy of your palette and money in the city than this place. I visited with my family, and between the three of us, we sampled the wings, fries, and chicken tenders. I had boneless buffalo wings and asked for medium (spicy) sauce. Not only were the wings not hot, but they had no taste whatsoever. The same was true for the chicken tenders. It was if they just fried it without seasoning it first. My sister had the lemon pepper chicken wings and drumsticks. The batter made the chicken breading taste good, but her chicken was also flavorless. It was just a complete waste of chicken. My brother ended up taking the boneless wings home to his dogs. I mean, dogs will eat anything, right?! That pretty much sums up our experience. My brother is health conscious, so he ordered broccoli instead of fries. He said even that was better than the chicken. My sister had the potato wedges, and I had regular (skinny) fries. We both thought the fries were okay. I had a mango margarita, and my brother had an expresso martini. My brother is a bartender, and he said the martini wasn't right. It wasn't a true expresso, and he speculated that the drink had been made with Bailey's Irish cream. The margarita was ok, but it tasted like blended fruit juice. I didn't get a buzz from it and wondered if it even had any alcohol in it at all. The atmosphere was lively, and our waiter Ivan was great, but overall, we were disappointed in the experience. The bill was about $96, which was too expensive for three people. We won't be returning anytime soon.

The calm, bright Mediterranean interior welcomes you into what feels like a cool summer day. Started with the black truffle puff bread -- felt like eating a cheese pizza with anchovies, deep and umami and honestly some of the best bread I've ever had. Would come back just for that alone. The tasting menu delivered from start to finish. The Manchego cracker came out crispy with a light creamy interior from the cheese and a hint of saltiness from the ham on top. The roasted mussel toast was next abundant mussels paired with Calabrian chili butter that took it over the edge, one of my favorites from the meal. The pasta was fresh and light with a deeply flavored sausage that complemented it well. The prime picanha closed out the savory courses perfectly tender, juicy, and the romesco sauce alongside brought a nice lightly sweet and smoky balance. Dessert was the pistachio which I don't typically gravitate toward but this one was well balanced and a nice finish to a great tasting menu. Shoutout to my server Peter who doubled as the bartender exceptional service throughout. -Mr.

I ordered the bottle of champagne for mimosas with pineapple and orange juice and was pleasantly surprised by the $35 price since we're used to paying twice that back home. The food came out pretty quick and was hot and ready to eat. All of our food was good well and we all enjoyed our dishes. My only takeaway would be if guests ordered bottled water and/or champagne, the waitress should poor them into the glasses for you. From my experience, this is something that I thought was a norm. Overall, great place to eat!

    Recently, my husband and I celebrated the anniversary of the day we met. We don't always mark the…read moreoccasion, but this year it was a milestone worth celebrating. We chose to dine at Girl & the Goat in Chicago, a restaurant we had never visited before. The acclaimed restaurant by renowned chef Stephanie Izard truly lived up to its stellar reputation! One of the first things we appreciated was the convenience of the restaurant's valet parking, located right by the front patio. At $22 for up to four hours and $26 for four to eight hours, the rates were quite reasonable for the area. As soon as the three of us stepped inside Girl & the Goat (we had made a reservation for 6:30 pm on a Friday), we were warmly greeted by one of the two friendly hostesses, and were promptly led to a comfortable four-top table with a banquette and two chairs along the wall. We felt fortunate to have one of the better tables in the dining room, as some of the others were positioned very close together. The nearby two-top tables, in particular, were quite small and placed only a short distance from ours. The restaurant's rustic-industrial décor was dark but trendy and stylish, the lively and vibrant vibe was warm and welcoming. However, I have to mention that it was really loud in the dining room, as guests seemed to be enjoying themselves and talked loudly.  It was hard to hear our server and the staff who delivered and explained the dishes to us.  Our server, Yazmin, was extremely friendly and attentive.  It was very sweet of her to wish us a happy anniversary both in the beginning  and at the end of the meal.  She also checked in on us several times during the evening.  Now, on to the food and drinks. I started with a glass of the NA Sparkling Rosé ($17), which was light, crisp, and quite refreshing. My husband ordered a glass of Le Colture Prosecco ($18), while our daughter chose the Sun Kid ($18). She enjoyed her drink, although she felt the portion was a bit small, as the glass was filled with a lot of ice that took up much of the space. Since the restaurant offers small to medium plates which are shareable, Yazmin advised us to get 5 to 6 dishes for 3 people to share.  We decided to get 5 savory dishes and 3 desserts to share: Savory dishes: - Chickpea Fritters ($20), goat yogurt, green chutney, sev spice crunch, pickled rhubarb. - Pan Roasted Halibut ($37), miso-Marcona almond butter, spring onion blueberry nuoc cham. - Roasted Pig Face ($28), sunny side egg, tamarind, cilantro, red wine-maple, potato stix. - Goat Empanadas ($24), smoked tomato-corn salsa, roasted poblano crema queso fresco. - Confit Goat Belly ($38), strawberry goat braise, smoked yogurt drizzle, pickled strawberries. Desserts: - Vacation, Please! ($16), toasted coconut crunch, lemon passion fruit sorbet, rum-soaked pineapple cake. - Berry Yummy Par-tea ($16), earl grey soaked sponge cake, yuzu curd, spiced blackberries. - Chocolate Basil Brownie Bash ($16), olive oil semifreddo, chocolate fennel crunch, basil granita. The meal was just phenomenal!  All the savory dishes were cooked perfectly with bold flavors; the meats were tender and full of flavors.  There were dishes that we normally would not have ordered if we saw them on menus of other restaurants.  Here, we tried them and were delighted that we did!  Our consensus is that Roasted Pig Face is our most favorite! It is everything we love in a comfort dish -- crispy on the outside, meltingly tender inside, and packed with rich, balanced flavor.  We will definitely order this again!  The Confit Goat Belly is a close second, with buttery, fall-apart meat and just the right balance of richness, acidity, and crunch. For dessert, "Vacation, Please!" is the one that we will always come back for. The toasted coconut crunch adds texture, the lemon passion fruit sorbet brings a refreshing tang, and the rum-soaked pineapple cake ties it all together with just the right amount of sweetness.  The other two desserts that we ordered were also very good.  The staff even brought out a scoop of Chocolate Ice Cream on the house, with two lit candles to celebrate our anniversary - a thoughtful touch that made the evening even more memorable.  This dessert spread was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. I'd like to mention that the restaurant added a 4% surcharge to the bill, which the customer may request to have the surcharge remove if you choose.  We let them keep it. We spent about two hours at the restaurant. The savory dishes came out very quickly, the pace probably was even a tad too fast, but the desserts made up for it by taking a longer time.  We did not mind as we were still full, and had time to enjoy the ambiance more.  I would say it is a restaurant great for group gathering and celebratory functions, but not so much for intimate romantic date night.  All in all, it was a wonderful dinner, we look forward to returning again.

We each only had a couple of bites left, but it definitely gave off an "okay, you're done now" vibe. Then he went to take the green beans (arguably the cult classic on the menu), and we still had more than half of them left. I had to stop him and say, "Yeah, we're not done with those. We paid for them. Can you put them in a to-go box instead?" For context, it was about 20 minutes before closing, but we ordered with plenty of time and were already eating with a "get in, eat, and get out" mindset. I've just never had someone at a restaurant start clearing plates while we were still actively eating--without asking, "Are you finished?" "Can I clear this?" or "Would you like a to-go box?" It was just... "You're done, these are leaving now." We were there for less than 45 minutes, left about 15 minutes before closing, and spent over $200 (not including the tip). With so many options in Chicago, I don't see myself coming back here.

The drinks never disappoint--they're strong, balanced, and worth every sip. And the burger? Absolute perfection every single time. A quick tip before you order: the single burger is actually two patties, and the double comes with four patties. Come hungry or be prepared to take some home! If you add bacon, I highly recommend asking for it well done. The slices are extra thick, and if they're not cooked a little longer, they can be soft and almost resemble a slice of ham rather than crispy bacon. As for the bone marrow...it's just not my thing. That said, if you're a fan, you're in good hands. I watched plate after plate leave the kitchen, so it's clearly a crowd favorite. I can't personally vouch for it, but if you love bone marrow, everyone seems to agree it's fire. Au Cheval continues to be one of those places that lives up to the hype. Great cocktails, one of the best burgers around, and consistently delivers every time.

We ordered the venison burger and, honestly, I was hesitant at first because I was worried it might be too gamey.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and efficient throughout our meal. They also have an impressive selection of signature cocktails.

After we sat down, our server took her sweet time getting to us and was largely absent the entire visit while the servers for the others tables were attentive and present as I've come to expect. We started with the Crispy Brussels and Burrata Toast which was an amazing and fun combination of flavors textures with the sherry glaze and pickled onions providing a perfect counter to the richness of the cheese. Our second course was the Gage Caesar which we've had before and have enjoyed sharing multiple times, but this time the lettuce was full of grit as if the prep chef did not even bother washing the lettuce. The server never came by to check on us so I had to wave the manager to complain about the salad. The server also never checked to see if we wanted refills on our cocktails so we placed our orders with the manager. The final dish was the venison burger which was perfectly cooked and seasoned if you like venison, which I do so we enjoyed that greatly. The condiments that came with it were perfectly matched to balance the game of the meat and the fries were perfect as usual! The server then FINALLY got more involved with our dinner and was predictably perky and present at the end, something that always irks me when they have been otherwise absent for the meal. The ONLY reason they are getting 3 stars instead of less for this visit was the flavor of the food and the response of the manager in dealing with the lack of service (and the gritty salad). I would give the initial server a zero if I could.
