We ordered the drunken shrimp appetizer which was delicious. Both my partner and I ordered the pistachio crusted grouper which tasted fantastic. Our server was very attentive and our overall experience was great. We have dined here before and will continue to return.

The servers were very nice and welcoming. The food is awesome. I used to live in Chicago little Italy area 20 years ago and Francesca was my favorite Italian and was located on Taylor street. I moved out of chicago and missed this place so much. Now I am visiting Chicago and found out Taylor street one is gone. But near my hotel in Northbrook, Francesca’s North reminded me the flavor that I was looking for. Perfect pasta and perfect calamari!!

We hadn’t been back to 501 since June. My husband has celiacs and some of the menu choices are limited. We were very happy with our experience. The food was wonderful -I had the tuna and highly recommend. We split lettuce wraps -delicious and each had the butternut squash soup-also delicious. Our server was excellent despite being the only server in the entire dining room. Our one complaint is the cold breeze that completely took over the dining room anytime someone entered the front door. It seems like an easy fix or at least one that a place of this caliber should address. They had a portable heater at the table closest to the door, not a promising sign! We did notice they turned the heat up but it dampened an other wise lovely meal. But when you’re paying nearly $100 per person that shouldn’t be part of the experience.
