“My husband brought me here and what a wonderful experience.”

My husband brought me here and what a wonderful experience! The dishes were made with high-quality, fresh ingredients, and the flavors were truly exceptional. I especially loved the small plates — beautifully presented and amazing quality for the price. I ordered the schnitzel and WOW! One of the best I’ve had in the States since visiting Europe. The sauce and side salad really elevate the dish, definitely their signature touch. Amazing desserts. I do not think this place is expensive at all. It was a little cold inside, but overall the ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend!

“Such an awesome find.”

Such an awesome find! Bf and I randomly decided to go here when we were in the area and wowza! Love that they have a seasonal menu and they had a good array of vegetarian options which made me so happy! Bf got the schnitzel, I got the zucchini risotto. We both loved our dishes and we also split a cheese and the chickpea eggplant dip - 10/10. Will be back and highly recommend you go!

“One of my favorite restaurants in the city.”

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. TD&S serves consistently good food, with some must-have staples (schnitzel, beef cheek croquettes, etc.) and a rotating, inventive seasonal menu. They offer charcuterie spreads, small plates, and larger plates - great for sharing. They have a great happy hour too. The wine list is exceptional - they care deeply about wine and it shows. The patio is lovely, but the interior is very cozy as well. And of course, excellent service.

“Cool, eclectic and fun at Table, Donkey and Stick.”

Cool, eclectic and fun at Table, Donkey and Stick. The food was amazing and the service was superb by Aidan and Joel. We enjoyed the Beets & Blackberries, Fresh Corn Salad, Grilled Peaches and Green Beans, Fried Polenta, Pan Seared Fjord Trout, Pappardelle, Spaghetti Alla Chitarra and the Blueberry Lemon Parfait. All were delicious and well presented. A really good time.

“Outstanding experience.”

Outstanding experience. The cocktails were delicious with the right amount of liquor and mixers. We got the patio seating and absolutely loved it. Service was great. We got the potato latkes and the fava bean dip. They were both amazing. So glad to have run into this place and I can't wait to return.

The wine menu and appetizers are the stars here, as well as the pork chop. The only miss was the burger but everything else made up for it. Great spot for date night or a group.

Went here for restaurant week Food was delicious, I’m still thinking about the belle saison cheese. Small plates are easily shareable I’m celiac and the staff was knowledgeable and kind, checked in with the chef on various dishes that were safe for gluten free. Example: the Brussels sprouts are gluten free but not celiac safe as they are cooked in shared oil. However, the dishes I consumed were safe for celiac: wild rice pork belly, Slagel steak, beets and pears, and then the risotto for the main Will be returning!

“Our meal was excellent.”

Our meal was excellent! Forgot to take a picture of our meat (get the coppa) and cheese spread, but the alpine sausage, pork belly and wild rice, trout, and pork schnitzel were all tasty with bigger than expected portions. Service was friendly and the courses were well-timed. Loved the ambience, we were in the back where there was a decent amount of chatter, but not so much that I couldn't hear my husband. Such a unique restaurant in a cozy space. Recommend!

“Went for a birthday and restaurant week.”

Went for a birthday and restaurant week. In at least eleven years, the best Chicago restaurant week experience we’ve ever had. Smart restaurant basically does their regular thing and they did it well. Loved the house made sausage, papardelle, and the simple elegance of the charcuterie course. Drinks very good nice eclectic bar collection. Service a little stretched but team coverage worked in the end. Our second time here now thinking it’ll be more of a regular … we are really jaded and it takes a lot for us to truly enjoy a dinner like this one.
