- OTOpenTable DinerVIPCanberra •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI really enjoyed dining at girl & the goat. Their menu selections were spectacular, and they were able to accommodate those with dairy intolerance (which most restaurants are unable to do). Their food selections were great and flavorful, and their staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend the chicken or steak dishes.More infoGirl & the GoatPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• West Loop•4.8

- NNanditaVIPChicago / Illinois •15 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time trying the Aba Happy hour food! The spreads sampler gave us a chance to try them all and the Crispy chicken had the perfect crispy skin and heat from the different peppers! Falafels and shrimp were really good. Carrot cake was overly spiced and a bit dry so going to skip that next time!More infoAba - ChicagoPrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• West Loop•4.8
- AAnthonyVIPChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoStopped by to catch up with a friend, and it was such a great spot! The vibe is super cozy with dim lighting, which made it feel really inviting. We sat by the windows, and there was a bit of a draft, but they were on it with a heater right next to our table—nice save! It started a little slow, probably because of a shift change, but once Paul took over, things were great. We told him we weren’t in a rush, and he totally got it—super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We tried a couple of Happy Hour martinis and shared some apps, and everything was delicious. Definitely want to come back to try some entrees and will for sure be back for Happy Hour!More infoHIDE + SEEKPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• West Loop•4.4

Home to "Restaurant Row" and easily accessible using public transit, this neighborhood is now one of the trendiest (and tastiest) neighborhoods in Chicago.
