The atmosphere was very quaint and vibrant. It’s a very open space and the color scheme is very well suited. The food was delicious, starting with the Buratta salad as it’s a very summery dish paired alike with some soft and warm home made ciabatta bread. The calamari was crispy and the sauces were made just right. I had the salmon which was soft and rich in flavor. Overall a great experience and the service was excellent too.
We had both dinner and a birthday celebration here this evening, and everything was absolutely wonderful. From the atmosphere to the service, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. All the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, but a special thank you goes to the blonde-haired waitress who took care of us and she was truly amazing, so sweet, polite, and professional. All food was so delicious!! We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to dear Mr. George. He helped us with everything, always kind, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the evening. The birthday setup exceeded our expectations,everything was just perfect. We left very happy and satisfied, and I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Huge thanks to the entire team for making it such a memorable night!
Okay, I found this restaurant accidentally, but boy, was I in for a surprise. Chicago never seems to disappoint me when I'm desiring delicious food. We walked into a very elegant atmosphere. The tables were dimly lit with gold candles and beautiful chandeliers, which set the tone for our evening. The waiter was very knowledgeable and professional. He executed his job beautifully. I thought I had the best calamari prior to this, but NOTHING, I mean nothing I tasted compared to theirs. Crispy, flavorful, they just melted in my mouth, and that white sauce complimented the calamari so beautifully. DO NOT leave before trying the branzino, which is a white fish! The sauce that it was paired with made my taste buds sing. And the desserts were also superb. If you desire good food and excellent service, try Somerset!!
We came here for my birthday and everything was amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. A special shoutout to George, he was incredibly kind! Thank you for a lovely experience!
Food and Staff here are exquisite. PreFix lunch menu had the perfect range of options. I went with the Caesar salad, steak frites and cheese cake. Perfect portion sizing that provided enough to thoroughly enjoy each dish but not too much where you get stuffed.
Osasu the manager today was lovely and attentive to me without my asking. She went above and beyond and made my experience great! The food was good... the key lime cheesecake was not great bc the cheesecake itself didn’t have much lime but the rest of this dessert was good! The ice cream, the coconut crumble, the whipped meringue... all yummy! The cous cous salad was very fresh and dressing homemade and good (I liked it on the side bc it’s full of flavor and vinegar) and the duck pasta dish was flavorful. Ambience beautiful... lots of party events can take place here on 2 floors, nice outdoor seating, lovely bathrooms.
Anniversary dinner with the Mediterranean menu, lamb shank, carrots, beets, and octopus preparations stand out. And the dessert with chocolate noting happy anniversary made super special. We'll be back!
Food was very good. We ate here several times on our recent stay. We had appetizers, brunch and dinner. All were delicious! Special shout out to the wonderful bartender Susie. She was fantastic!
