All Well
All Well pairs a warm, dark-wood, patchwork-lined room with an ambitious tasting menu and a lively bar program. Reviewers rave about the truffle-stuffed quail, maitake with chickpea purée, short rib sandwich, Rocket Negroni, and Old Fashioned with flavored ice, while praising attentive, personable service—especially for birthdays, date nights, and bar seats. One caveat: the music can be aggressively loud.

“All Well is a low key spot in the West Loop that feels like it is trying to keep things simple and intentional. The menu is posted clearly, and the place has a calm feel to it compared to some of the busier restaurants in the area. It does not feel overly flashy or like it is trying too hard, which I actually appreciate. It seems like a good place to stop in, look over the menu, and try something a little different in the neighborhood. West Loop has a lot of restaurants, but All Well feels like one of those places that could become a quiet favorite once more people know about it.”
“This new restaurant is a wonderful addition to the city. The interior is beautifully designed, with warm lighting and thoughtfully arranged seating that gives each table a comfortable sense of space. The cocktails are creative, with clever twists on the classics. The flavored ice in the Old Fashioned added an unexpected and delicious dimension to the drink. The dishes were nicely portioned and easy to share. The quesadilla was delicate and full of flavor, the mushrooms were fresh and delicious, and the pasta was clearly made in-house with a perfectly balanced sauce. The service was excellent, and Laura offered thoughtful recommendations that made the experience even better”
“All Well delivered a memorable dining experience from the moment we walked through the door. The dark wood interior creates a warm, comforting atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting. We were seated promptly, and the service was excellent throughout the evening. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain the tasting menu and each course. The menu features three fixed courses with two opportunities for guests to make selections. I chose the Brandade and the Truffle Stuffed Quail. The evening began with three creative and beautifully balanced bites that immediately set the tone for the meal. The Brandade was a first for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The creamy texture was luxurious, while the salted cod provided a clean, delicate seafood flavor that never overwhelmed the dish. Our favorite course of the night was the Délice de Bourgogne Luna with Puffed Grain Toast. Every element worked in harmony, but the puffed grain toast was particularly memorable and is still on my mind days later. It was one of those dishes that perfectly balances creativity, technique, and comfort. The Truffle Stuffed Quail was a well-executed and satisfying entrée, showcasing thoughtful flavors and careful preparation. Dessert featured a lemon semifreddo that may have been modest in size but delivered tremendous flavor. Each bite revealed another layer, from bright citrus notes to subtle richness and texture. After such an enjoyable evening, I am not surprised by the praise All Well has received. Knowing that the team is also behind Oriole, a restaurant with an exceptional reputation, only increases my anticipation. If this experience is any indication, I cannot wait to visit Oriole as soon as I can secure a reservation. All Well combines thoughtful cooking, polished service, and a welcoming atmosphere into a dining experience that feels both sophisticated and approachable. It is a restaurant I would happily recommend and look forward to visiting again.”
“I’m so glad to choose All Well for my birthday dinner, and it was such a pleasant experience. The restaurant has a cute decor with handmade patchwork, and a welcoming vibe the minute you enter. All courses were excellently executed and nicely presented. I particularly enjoyed the sour dough toast and the stuffed quail. The server was very attentive and happy to chat about each dish. The most impressive was part was to receive a birthday card signed by the crew, as I truly value the personal touch behind it. Would love to come back soon!”
“Great new spot. We didn’t do the tasting menu and sat at the bar! Fabulous cocktails and wine list. Obsessed with the short rib sammie. Less obsessed with the pasta dish.”
“The tasting menu was an absolute delight. Service and drinks were also excellent. The truffle stuffed quail was a particular standout. We’ll definitely be back to try the bar menu.”
“Did the bar menu and it was outstanding as expected given this spot is from the Chef at Oriole! Excellent Caesar, chilled shrimp dish, short rib sandwich and cocktails! Excited to try tasting menu next time.”
“Overall, I think this place is totally overrated, and I wouldn’t go back a second time. The ambiance is nice tho. I did love that they were playing LCD Soundsystem that night. As for the food, the three amuse-bouches were pretty underwhelming—nothing really stood out or felt special. The MARINATED BLUEFIN was memorable. I especially loved the texture of the tomato, it was so incredibly tender that it almost mimicked sashimi. However, I felt the black sesame garnish on the other half was way too overpowering and completely masked the refreshing seasoning. While the PUFFED GRAIN TOAST was decent, the ravioli-style stuffed pasta was incredibly mediocre. To make matters worse, the green peas on the side made absolutely no sense and left me thoroughly disappointed. For my entrée, I went with the SABLEFISH. The bed of ingredients underneath tasted exactly like sushi gari ガリ. The problem is, gari is meant to be a palate cleanser between courses-here, the entire base was just an aggressive, sharp vinegar punch. Even when eaten with the fish, it was incredibly jarring and completely lacked depth. To top it off, my stomach didn't handle it well later that night. I also tried a bite of the quail my husband ordered; it was pretty average and so overly boozy that it drowned out the flavor of the meat. The dessert was another alcohol-heavy disappointment. The flavors just didn’t meld together at all, and the cake itself tasted completely stale.”
“Excellent all around! Amazing drinks, knowledgeable bartenders, delicious food. Definitely recommend!”
