“An unforgettable dining experience at Ever by Chef Curtis Duffy in Chicago’s Fulton Market. The 9-course tasting menu was a symphony of flavors—every course was beautiful and exceptional, making it impossible to pick a favorite. Our nonalcoholic pairings were just as impressive. Andrew and the entire team provided warm, professional service, and the kitchen tour at the beginning set the tone for a magical evening. Every detail was flawless.”
“10/10 on all metrics. Ever really is a unique experience. Chef Duffy is phenomenal and clearly put a lot of thought into designing a top tier menu and experience. Also try out After - different vibe but very fun. All the glowing reviews are well deserved and the negative ones appear to be from self important pretentious jerks who think they know everything (“what was the theme” - it’s not a theme park ffs lol).”
“Here’s a polished Google review you can post: ★★★★★ Ever exceeded every expectation and delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had. The restaurant is elegant and minimalist, allowing the food and service to truly shine. We enjoyed the 10-course tasting menu, and every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully executed. Highlights included the white asparagus with caviar, scallop, coconut soup, salmon, morel mushroom, and an exceptional wagyu course. The mocktail pairing was also creative and perfectly complemented the menu. The dessert courses were equally impressive, and the experience ended with a delightful surprise visit to the candy parlor, where we enjoyed homemade chocolates and other sweet treats. From the impeccable service to the artistry of each course, every detail was carefully curated. Chef Curtis Duffy and his team have created something truly special. If you’re looking for a world-class dining experience in Chicago, Ever is absolutely worth it.”
“Una experiencia 100 % recomendable!!! Es un menú de degustación, maridado con bebidas que no te imaginarias que existen en la vida 🤯 cada una mas rica que la anterior 🫠... tienes que visitarlo!!!”
“An absolute masterclass in dining. I was floored by the consistency here. It is rare to love every single course on a tasting menu, but every dish was flawless. You can tell that every tiny detail has been meticulously thought out. We also did the wine pairing and it was spectacular. Between the artistry of Chef Duffy’s plates and the world class hospitality, this was an unforgettable experience. Truly impressed!”
“This is probably one of the most beautiful restaurants that I have been to. The service is great. The food is delicious. The fish, pork, and Wagyu were the most standout dishes of the night. I usually dislike Wagyu due to the extreme fattiness, but they make it right here.”
“What an amazing staff, only outdone by the best food (Ever) Picture yourself as the center of a Play. Servers, sommeliers, floating around the room in dim lighting. Ever is a wonderful evening where everything revolves around You!”
“This wasn’t just dinner. It was discipline, restraint, and intention on a plate. From the moment you walk in, Ever feels calm but serious. Not stiff, focused. The kitchen runs like a well-rehearsed orchestra, and every course lands exactly where it’s supposed to. The food is thoughtful in the best way. Nothing shouts for attention, yet every bite holds it. Clean flavors, sharp technique, and purpose behind every component. This is cooking that trusts itself. The A5 beef with the broccoli quenelle was outstanding, luxurious without excess. The beef was rich and perfectly judged, while the broccoli provided balance and restraint. Not a garnish. A counterpoint. Their take on a caprese salad was genius. Familiar flavors, completely reimagined, honoring the idea without being trapped by it. There isn’t enough room here to fully explain every course and give each the justice it deserves. The menu works as a progression, not a highlight reel, and that restraint is part of what makes it special. Service was flawless without being performative, warm, informed, and perfectly timed. This is a destination meal. One you think about afterward. A reminder of why fine dining, when done right, still matters”
“Absolutely incredible meal! Up there with Alinea and Oriole as one of the best meals I've ever had! A tour of the kitchen where THE BEAR filmed was a great way to end it.”
“The menu, plating, flavors and taste were well balanced! All the dishes were unique and delicious, not basic. The service was spectacular plus the wait staffs are foodies. Love everything.”
