Cobblestone Cafe & Bistro — top-tier cafe in North Center. The noise level tells you everything you need to know. Creative without being gimmicky. "The portion was sizeable, the batter was crispy and the fish, flaky and not too fishy tasting" — Peter Strandquist

“The mussels were excellent (outstanding broth) and were a fair appetizer for 4 people”
I went to Cobblestone last night with some friends...6 people in total.
So sorry, but the cider we had (the house cider) was absolutely dreadful.

“My husband and I went to brunch at Cobblestone and the food was phenomenal.”
My husband and I went to brunch at Cobblestone and the food was phenomenal! We ordered the Schnitzel & Waffles and the Hangover Hash with Steak, both dishes were very tasty and cooked to perfection. My husband can be a bit of a steak snob and he loved it the hangover hash! I would 100% go back to try their lunch and dinner menu. the Spot is super cozy and service was excellent

Great place. The place has character, ceiling fans with a belt that runs around the whole set. Tin ceilings. Door has a center for knob. Classic old timey. Staff is welcoming. Food is good. Warm, cozy with actual candles on the tables.

Lincoln Square’s best kept secret - our preferred spot for a last-minute date night or family dinner. Immaculate European bistro atmosphere & classic menu with Czech flair.

“This is one of the best patios in town and I couldn't wait to get back yesterday once it was nice outside again.”
This is one of the best patios in town and I couldn't wait to get back yesterday once it was nice outside again. I've never eaten here, but the selection of ciders is amazing! It's rare to find so many on draft. I love El Chavo and the Blueberry Mittens. The cocktails are out of sight as well! 'Sage Advice' is probably a top ten cocktail in the city for me. A couple employees were outside looking at the chalkboard and talking about how to keep the patio looking its best- it's clear they really care about the place and about us as well! It's impossible to have a bad time here.

“Small menu but to the point.”
Small menu but to the point. Cheese board and Langos was delicious fun spin. Great drink selection. Stellar service! Very friendly, clean, and swift service. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Dimly lit for perfect cozy vibes.

“We went to celebrate my birthday with our niece.”
We went to celebrate my birthday with our niece. We had seen them on WGN and thought to give them a try. We sat out side and were given ample attention even though they were busy for brunch. Absolutely enjoyed our food . They manager at that time had offered me a beer for my birthday upon my inquiring about a brewery named Maplewood ( also a huge thumbs up). Wanted to share this review even though it was aboutv6 months ago.

“We have been talking about Cobblestone ever since we left.”
We have been talking about Cobblestone ever since we left. We will be back soon. Mainly for the beef tartare. I will never forget that beef tartare. I was hesitant to like this place. I did not want to like it. I had a deep love for Monty Gaels. However, Cobblestone is wonderful. Great patio! Great food! Great drinks! Great staff! If you are considering Cobblestone, do it and get the beef tartare. You won't be disappointed!

“We have been here for dinner and it’s been a wonderful experience.”
We have been here for dinner and it’s been a wonderful experience. Came by today for brunch service was very slow and the food was just so so. They were out of the biscuits appetizer and it was difficult for them to find condiments. Would not come back for brunch, but will certainly come back for dinner.

“Great brunch cocktails, we got the strawberry basil martini and Bloody Mary.”
Great brunch cocktails, we got the strawberry basil martini and Bloody Mary. We ordered the crispy pork belly hash and the pecan pie French toast. The potatoes were nice and crispy, and they paired well with the strawberry ketchup. The French toast looked like it would be crispy but was still soggy from the eggs. We would definitely go back to try the Dutch baby!
