Tavern at the Park
For anyone who appreciates city style, there’s nothing like being in Chicago. Tavern at the Park recreates that urban feel, and provides the chance to unwind and enjoy the city.The dark wood furniture, with the neutral beige walls and vintage Chicago posters, create a luxurious restaurant that blends both past and present dcor. In-fact, Tavern at the Park resembles a millionaire’s penthouse, but with a roaring twenties atmosphere. Plus, the bar and balcony big windows, as well as the patio space, allow for great views of the city.The restaurant offers a variety of menu options. On Saturday Tavern at the Park offers a lunch menu and a nightly special. The Saturday lunch menu is available from 12 to 4pm and offers delicious starters, salads, and sandwiches. We particularly like “The Big Mike,” which puts fried egg, cheddar, provolone, and all the best toppings on two burgers. The restaurant is closed on Sundays, but for the rest of the week you can chose from a comprehensive lunch menu. More than just sandwiches, soups and salads, you can indulge in a mouth-watering entre. Whether you choose a Chicken Pot Pie or a Seared Ahi Tuna, you’ll enjoy every bite.However, Tavern at the Park doesn’t make choosing dinner an easy feat. Entrees vary from chicken, pork, seafood, beef, lamb, as well as pastas and Tavern Classics. We suggest looking at the online menu before you visit; otherwise, you’ll be choosing for hours! Meanwhile, we have a few recommendations, too. The Butternut Squash Ravioli was scrumptious. But we also liked the Brick Chicken (covered in spices, herbs, and lemon) as well as the Sliced Leg of Lamb.For city dwellers, Tavern at the Park is the ideal dining spot. The restaurant does accept reservations, which can be made online or by calling (312) 552-0070.
