   Friendly staff, excellent food, fun cocktails. I’ve never had a bad meal at Altiro Geneva or Aurora.

   Our first time at Altira after a Paramount theater matinee. It was a perfect post-play site for dinner: Only a 5 walk from The Stolp, and about 2 minutes from Copley & Paramount. The staff was friendly and competent, the food arrived quickly, and the quality was excellent. The menu offers a variety of main courses, tapas, and tacos. Everything is a la carte, so when order tacos, a side dish or salad would be wise. Taco choices come with four small tacos, each different. Small, but very filling. And delicious. The guacamole comes with 3 fairly small scoops, which could be bigger, but they are all creatively fun. We shared our mango salad (also creative and tasty), and although we both love salad, this one was larger than we could eat and could be split between 3 people. The prices are reasonable (but less expensive than comparable Chicago restaurants). The only minor down-side: The noise level by our table was a bit too loud for normal conversation, but mostly because we were sitting directly below one of the speakers. It was fine a few tables away. A shorter version of this review: We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and ambience, and Altira will be our stop after future plays. There's a great variety of unique options on the menu, and it will be fun to explore as many as we can.

   Having dinner at Altiro is always a wonderful experience! Last night was no exception. We took an out of town friend and she loved it as well as we did. The food is always incredibly tasty and unique. Maria, our server was amazing! Love love love Altiro!

   Pre-theatre dinner. Great food. Attentive server. Kitchen a bit slow, but it was a busy evening.

   Everything was great! Margaritas, guacamole, shrimp and chicken tacos were all delicious. Great service and perfect location next to the theater.

   Excellent food and service. We had the Ala Paella and the Al Alambre. Both were fresh and flavorful. Great margaritas too.

    This is a favorite of ours. The food was good, and the service always on point. The only niggle is that some of the tables have your back next to a high traffic area, where you get jostled a bit!
