Best Restaurants for People Watching in Jefferson Park

Delicious lunch and the best atmosphere and service! Jaafar made us feel like his personal guests the moment we sat down and everyone was so helpful and kind.

Booked here at the last minute dinner was amazing. The pizza was very, very good. The short rib was Devine. We also had the charcuterie board and the apricot sauce should be jarred and sold in stores. It was amazing.

Here’s a possible review: I had a wonderful dining experience at this cozy Anelya restaurant. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, perfect for a quiet meal. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that truly impressed me. The highlight of the evening was the medovyk dessert—it was not only huge but also incredibly rich and tasty. A perfect ending to a delightful meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Ukrainian cuisine.

Gibson's is one of my favorite restaurants of all times. We live in San Antonio but make it a point to make reservations when in Chicago, Because of the holidays, I scheduled reservations 3 months in advance. Service was superb, as always. I ordered the W.R.'s Chicago Cut and was very disappointed. The steak was cold and did not appear anywhere close to 22 oz. My son ordered a 7 oz Filet Mignon, and he was disappointed as it was very dry and overcooked. I know I could have said something at the table, but I didn't want to ruin the moment as we were having such a great time being together. The service was outstanding, and hope that next time it will be the same Gibson's experience.

Food is good. Outdoor space is a bit too noisy but the view is great though
