The Dearborn

This is an American tavern with a wide range of food. Really unique appetizers! We loved the Duck Rillette with toast the most! The burger and the traditional Icelandic cod were delicious, but not exceptional. The non-alcoholic drinks were bit too sweet. The apricot sorbet was good, but it was too much for us to finish after the sizable meal. In my opinion, the price is reasonable. Service can be a little faster. Overall positive!

This was a very cute restaurant. My party was seated right away, and our server took care of us and was attentive. The Dearborn burger was recommended and we were not disappointed! With the added caramelized onions it was the best. We replaced the fries with truffle fries which made a great addition. We had the seafood ceviche and it was surprisingly really good! I just wish there were more chips to cover the amount provided. Overall we had a nice dining experience.

Our 15 year old son had found The Dearborn restaurant online. We agreed to try it out and were very happy with the food and service. I had the Steak & Fries, my wife had the Fish & Chips and our son had the Dearborn Burger. If a lot of pink is a concern don't ask for medium rare. Both the steak & the burger were ordered as medium rare and both had a lot of pink. Neither of us were concerned and we ate each fully. The service was top notch, attentive, friendly and helpful. Their own gin is great as well! We did experience an incident at our table. A guy came in while we were eating and sat at the open spot next to our son. He started saying can I ask you about your food but then started asking for money. He was not dressed poorly or disheveled and I noticed his ear buds. The staff was on it quickly but it did get heated. Police were called but we were not too inconvenienced and the staff was very apologetic. Apparently this guy has done this before. Makes you wonder how bad it could have gotten but I'm thankful it was just an interesting story.

If you're in the mood for great food and drink and have a few bucks to burn, The Dearborn is absolutely great. The service was fast and friendly. The vibe inside is really cool, though a bit cramped if you're a table of 2. The steak, fries, short rib and creme brulee were all top notch. The drinks were good and strong as well. Definitely recommend a reservation as we would've had a very long wait without one.

The Dearborn has an inviting atmosphere, I really enjoyed my experience having lunch with a friend. We sat in the outdoor seating area on a nice day. The staff was welcoming and assisted us kindly and expertly. We ordered Shrimp and Grits and Oysters as appetizers, both were PHENOMENAL but the Oysters really impressed me. The presentation was artistry and the flavors were unique and citrus. The shrimp and grits were seasoned so well it tasted like someone’s grandmother was back in the kitchen. For the main course I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the duck. The duck dish looked wonderful and my friend enjoyed it but I was not too impressed by the chicken sandwich. With so many places mastering the chicken sandwich, it is difficult to say that this one was memorable. It was tasty, but not something I would order again. Overall, the experience was very good and I would patron this place again.

First time here with my husband and we loved it! The fish and chips was the dish of the night for me, the drinks were amazing despite of being non alcoholic! The ambiance was very pleasant also! Our waitress was very sweet, plus informative! The general manager Greg was pleasant, kind and very welcoming! Will be coming back!

Was traveling in Chicago and looking for Dinner and stumbled upon this place. I'm so glad I did. The ambience is beautiful. The service was super friendly and helpful. I loved my Mocktails. The food was amazing. I want to eat more! Places don't often get 5 stars but this place was worth it.

WOW. The food here was amazing! Food: EXCELLENT. We had the signature burger and the Shrimp and Grit. And I was so surprised because I wasn't sure such a trendy place could serve great food. And I was wrong. Drinks: GOOD. We only had sparkling wines for brunch. Service: EXCELLENT. Our waitress was very friendly and professional. We enjoyed our time here very much. Overall: YES. I would come back.
