“Nice spot - stopped for lunch. Their mushroom soup is as good as I've ever had. Also had the chicken salad sandwich, which was great, opted for the homemade chips as a side, very thin & crispy. Stop by if you're in the area.”
“Everything was excellent. The mushroom soup was one of the best soups I've ever had. The pappardelle bolognese was so flavorful and the pasta had a great bite. The cocktails were unique and awesome too. Highly recommend!”

“Had a really nice lunch at The Warbler. The space is warm, calm, and welcoming, with a relaxed neighborhood feel. The food was fresh and well balanced. The grilled salmon salad was light and flavorful, the fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the burger was simple but done right juicy patty, soft bun, melted cheese, and good pickles. Drinks were refreshing and service was friendly and easygoing. A great spot for a casual lunch, meeting friends, or enjoying a meal on your own. Would definitely come back.”
“Excellent pricing with generous portions! I ordered off of the appetizers and the vegetable dishes menu and they were perfect!”
“I would like to highlight the delightful taste in every dish they serve in this place. We received about 5 different plates between appetizers and entrees. First time going here and definitely going back and will order my mushroom soup. 🍲 My appreciation to the chef.”
“The Warbler is such a gem with the perfect blend of relaxed comfort and elevated dining. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, with cozy booths, natural textures, and soft lighting that immediately puts you at ease. Service was excellent from start to finish, attentive without being intrusive, and everyone we interacted with seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food was incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the space itself is spotless, which adds to the overall experience. If you’re looking for a spot where you can enjoy amazing food in a clean, calm, and beautifully designed setting, The Warbler absolutely delivers. Highly recommend!”
“Great atmosphere in a cozy space with great food / drink varieties!”
“We came here with the sole purpose of walking around the shops of Lincoln Square afterwards. They had the game on at the bar and the crowd looked friendly and the bar didn’t look too crowded. We started the meal with the crispy cauliflower and a mushroom soup - both were very much enjoyable. None of the sandwiches blew our socks off - maybe we ordered wrong but the fries were a hit. Our server was friendly and the bathrooms were clean and aside from a small mix-up on one of the customizations on a sandwhich, the meal went off without a hitch. Noise level was manageable and even sitting by the kitchen wasn’t an issue.”
