“Not usually one to write a review after only one visit but the number of times I have thought about the charcuterie, burger + giardiniera martini since consuming are too high to count. Absolutely insane combo 10000/10”
“By far, one of my new favorite restaurants in the city. The food was creative yet simple, the cocktails were craft, and the ambiance was just perfect for the mood. I enjoyed my whole experience so much, I wish I could come here regularly, but unfortunately I do not have that kind of budget. Nettare stole my heart for sure. And a huge shoutout to the staff, they really made the place so special.”
“Loved Nettare! Went for a birthday brunch and the waiter was super, super friendly — even gave me a complimentary cookie. Was very good about giving recommendations as well. The breakfast sandwich (without bacon, with confit mushrooms) was amazing, as was the lamb sausage sandwich. The potatoes are a must-try with the giardinera aioli. Also loved their Winter in Japan drink and Vanilla Maple Iced Latte. Their cinnamon bun is also really good — has orange zest in it which makes it stand out. And SUCH a nice space — very green. Definitely recommend if you’re in West Town!”
“Cafe in the front, party in the back! Beautiful surroundings. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. We stopped in early (1pm) for the tail end of lunch service. We had a great time. We were welcomed nicely. Service was really nice. The menu though— drinks and food are on another level. Everything is just elevated a little bit more. We started with coffee drinks, shared the ham hash, and ended with their mimosa which is better than any other place. Thoughtful, elevated, approachable and wonderful experience. Boom 💥 that’s my review 10/10 recommend.”
“Nettare is great - I’ve only visited for brunch or to pick up a latte, but the prices are very reasonable and the brunch dishes were light and perfect for ordering a few plates to share with friends. Their fresh pastries (available at the front of the house or to order at your table) are especially delicious, both sweet and savory. Some of my favorite pastries in the neighborhood, and they’ve filled the gap Aya left. The front café area is a standout as well. The cafe is open till closing, making it a great place to linger, and the interior and overall atmosphere are incredibly unique and aesthetic. Definitely worth a visit!”
“Haven’t actually had the food here yet but do plan on it soon. The food looks delicious. My friends and I always come in for drinks while we wait for Lao Peng You. I highly recommend this place for drinks! The bartenders are amazing and make such great cocktails. I also love that they have a THC drink that does the job and doesn’t taste bad at all.”
“This restaurant was an absolute delight to dine in—excellent food, atmosphere, and service. The décor is elegant yet lively, with thoughtful details throughout the interior and music kept soft enough to create an intimate ambiance without requiring you to raise your voice. Our server, John (I believe that was his name), had impeccable manners: attentive when we needed something but never interrupting our conversation. The food and drinks were beautifully executed and full of flavor.”
“Midwest and seasonal menu served in a very elegant and romantic atmosphere, mushroom pate was an absolute hit as well as trout! Wine menu has a lot of options from Michigan wineries and cocktail menu is very impressive (shout out to cranberry spritz light, fruity and a touch of sour). The service is great and lots of attention, perfect spot for a dinner date!”
“Beautiful and delicious escape. This place is the home of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Chicago and their scones are also not to be missed. I’m so grateful that we have such a gem in the neighborhood.”
“Love this place. Have been for brunch and dinner. The cocktails are fun and interesting with most of the spirits from local regional producers. Food is always great. And the space is honestly my favorite part. They have a great bar setup, skylights, and decor choices.”
“A true gem of a restaurant that has charm and feels personable in a comfortable but elegant environment. The menu provides unique options regularly changing based on local availability. Dishes are familiar but creative with an elevated twist, well plated and incorporates quality ingredients. Service was incredible and friendly, offering recommendations and detailed descriptions for the drinks and food - even got lucky with an off menu special from the chef. You won't feel skimped on the vegetarian options.”
