- Michelle SMay 17, 2016Holy cow this meal was incredible! Burrata and polenta fries were out of this world! Best I've ever had! Carbonara was very good. Local fish was over salted. Service was impeccable.
- Linda FelterJanuary 27, 2014Not your mom's pork chop. Unless your mom makes the best pork chop ever; on a cauliflower puree with butternut squash and pork belly. Honestly, when a pork chop is done right... you can't go wrong.
- Elissa CartierMay 18, 2013Amazing decor, and delicious food. The portions aren't huge, so an app or salad is a good call. I had the cod and enjoyed it but I think next time I'll order the scallops. They tasted great too.
- ISC ChicagoDecember 25, 2012Dramatic ceiling (there's something disconcerting about sitting underneath so many bottles hanging over your head); very knowledgeable and helpful waitstaff; portion size is perfect
- Martin SlusarzJanuary 16, 2015This place has it all!! Great ambience, nice food selection for appetizers and entrees, excellent wine list, outstanding and knowledgeable service, and reasonable prices! It's a winner! Go here!
- Maggie H.March 11, 2013The food: The butternut squash soup was perfect for the rainy day. The duck & scallops were perfectly cooked & savory. We enjoyed the lobster poutine, rich & unique. The decor: Absolutely stunning!
- Jill TiongcoMay 17, 2014The Polenta Fries were incredible. The egg and truffles were a delicious addition, and the polenta was still crispy underneath all of that goodness. Probably my favorite part. Lamb was just okay.
- Chee Yi OngApril 4, 2016Great place for a quiet dinner with amazing food. I ordered the king salmon entree and it was so good!
- Liz HJune 15, 2013Great food, drinks and service. Even with res had to wait for a table--got free drinks and apps and apologies! Pricey. Def recommend--maybe for special occasion!
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014The Bavarian sausage plate is the must-try appetizer, featuring a soft, light-on-the-tongue sausage of pork, chicken and truffle.
- Priya VaswaniAugust 22, 2013Wine, appetizers/small plates and desserts are incredible! Entrees are pretty standard/average. May be worth it to just order lots of appetizers!
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014There's a gorgeous cream-puff trio with banana cream, pistachio cream and blood-orange cream fillings; together, they look like colorized profiteroles.
- Warren FrostNovember 29, 2013Loved it. It was a thx giving set menu but still delicious. Nice chilled vibe in both the downstairs bar and upstairs restaurant.
- patrick schaalMarch 2, 2013Although the first floor is the most aesthetic, be sure to check out the downstairs and upstairs for a more loungey setting. Also, hats off the the sommelier!
- Daisy MaganaMarch 22, 2014Great spot! Loved their cheese and meat options paired perfectly with some vino or a Maltida ;-) definitely coming again!
- Donald ClarkJune 28, 2014This place had great signature cocktails. Try the "Teachers Lounge." Everybody would be happy if that was in the coffee pot. 😎👟
- Lindsey SerrateSeptember 15, 2013Tables by the window upstairs on the 3rd floor or on the mezzanine level are less noisy. Food is outstanding. I had the wild Alaskan salmon.
- Elizabeth GospodinovApril 19, 2016Reminds me of a gossip girl style restaurant, posh and pretty. Definitely try the duck and the chocolate bar!
- Stellaa DuhartNovember 17, 2015The decoration is amazing. We went with a big group and everyone said the food was very good.
- Mark AbsherApril 3, 2013Food was good, although limited selection for vegetarians. Also never been so rushed to get through a meal by the staff. They will take the plates right out from under you while still eating! No joke!
- Time Out ChicagoJune 19, 2013The Boarding House's menu has changed significantly since the restaurant opened earlier this year. Try it out on one of sidewalk patio's 50–60 seats.

- Brian McGowanFebruary 12, 2014Nice atmosphere & decor. Good food & service. Beer salad, squid ink pasta, & venison were quite flavorful.
- Christine HongJuly 20, 2013The duck egg was amazing. And the chocolate brownie with merlot ice cream. YUM!
- Aimee GoudasMarch 1, 2013Fantastic poutine...the waiter was right, if pairs with every wine! Pizza was amazing- crust as light as air.
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014To ignore the signature Chicken Three Ways — a $39 entree sized for two — is to miss the point of the restaurant entirely.
- Renee BaroneJune 5, 2013Great food, service and wine. Staff is extremely knowledgable about wine pairings.
- Christopher FlossApril 3, 2015The Boarding House has an AMAZING pork chop. The best I've ever had!!!
- Ankur KikaniJuly 4, 2013Awesome service, octopus was great, and the pork chops were very good as well.
- Paul KarumDecember 29, 2012Eat before dining upstairs. The meals are way over priced. It's not like it's Girl and The Goat. Also why is the alcohol selection different between the two separate floors? I don't understand.
- Jill B.March 23, 2013Drinks were great, but I highly recommend passing on the food. Everyone in our party got sick.
- James LanningFebruary 24, 2013The Side Piece cocktail is like a smoothed-out version of a Sazerac... try it.
