“Absolutely wonderful experience at Somerset.”
Absolutely wonderful experience at Somerset. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The peri peri chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, full of flavor without being overwhelming, and the whole pan-seared branzino was fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. What really elevated the evening was our server, Irina. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of throughout the meal. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and lovely service — Somerset is a place we’ll happily return to and recommend.

“The servers were so nice and helpful.”
The servers were so nice and helpful! Our server, Jose was so polite and even took something off the bill when he forgot it even though he did bring it. The decor was nice and food was good. Jose gave us many recommendations as well. It was a good experience.

“Upscale bar and restaurant vibes.”
Upscale bar and restaurant vibes. I did not eat, but my friend did and stated that the food was really good. She had chicken and waffles. I had the signature somerset mimosa. It was yummy. 😋 The bartender was courteous to check in occasionally at just the right moments, which were appreciated.

“Osasu the manager today was lovely and attentive to me without my asking.”
Osasu the manager today was lovely and attentive to me without my asking. She went above and beyond and made my experience great! The food was good… the key lime cheesecake was not great bc the cheesecake itself didn’t have much lime but the rest of this dessert was good! The ice cream, the coconut crumble, the whipped meringue… all yummy! The cous cous salad was very fresh and dressing homemade and good (I liked it on the side bc it’s full of flavor and vinegar) and the duck pasta dish was flavorful. Ambience beautiful… lots of party events can take place here on 2 floors, nice outdoor seating, lovely bathrooms.

“Food and Staff here are exquisite.”
Food and Staff here are exquisite. PreFix lunch menu had the perfect range of options. I went with the Caesar salad, steak frites and cheese cake. Perfect portion sizing that provided enough to thoroughly enjoy each dish but not too much where you get stuffed.

“Okay, I found this restaurant accidentally, but boy, was I in for a surprise.”
Okay, I found this restaurant accidentally, but boy, was I in for a surprise. Chicago never seems to disappoint me when I'm desiring delicious food. We walked into a very elegant atmosphere. The tables were dimly lit with gold candles and beautiful chandeliers, which set the tone for our evening. The waiter was very knowledgeable and professional. He executed his job beautifully. I thought I had the best calamari prior to this, but NOTHING, I mean nothing I tasted compared to theirs. Crispy, flavorful, they just melted in my mouth, and that white sauce complimented the calamari so beautifully. DO NOT leave before trying the branzino, which is a white fish! The sauce that it was paired with made my taste buds sing. And the desserts were also superb.👌🏾 If you desire good food and excellent service, try Somerset!!

“The atmosphere was very quaint and vibrant.”
The atmosphere was very quaint and vibrant. It’s a very open space and the color scheme is very well suited. The food was delicious, starting with the Buratta salad as it’s a very summery dish paired alike with some soft and warm home made ciabatta bread. The calamari was crispy and the sauces were made just right. I had the salmon which was soft and rich in flavor. Overall a great experience and the service was excellent too.

We came out for restaurant week and a little birthday celebration and our expectations were definitely exceeded. I recommend the herb crusted salmon, it was to die for, to say the least. The desserts were incredible. Our server, Alex was super kind and attentive. The bartender, Chase is amazing. Overall, a great experience with great staff who go above and beyond.

🦋Attached to the Viceroy Chicago hotel, this restaurant has a large patio and beautiful décor that seamlessly flows between the restaurant and hotel. Designed with stunning gold finishes, the atmosphere shares elegance and pizazz all in one. We sat in a round booth which made us feel happy and comfortable…and a little boujee 👸🏿🤴🏽. Our waiter was quick to greet us and share the drink and food selections with us. We each got a light beer. I got a chilled pea soup which was amazing…if you’re into chilled soups. I love pea soup but never knew that I didn’t like chilled soups. Nevertheless, it was really good and they even poured the soup into the bowl right in front of us 🤩🤩. We decided to share the air fried chicken. It was really good. Super moist chicken breast that was not greasy at all (thanks to the air fry). The veggies that went with it were perfectly cooked and seasoned making the complimentary side a perfect addition to the delicious chicken. We want to thank everyone at Somerset for providing the service and taste we definitely admired. This is our experience. What’s yours? 🦋
