I've come to really enjoy the ambiance, delicious entrees, and Happy Hour appetizers at The Prospect. Every staff member I've encountered- Catherine S., Danielo, and the bartender- has been fantastic.

The food was flavorful and the service was excellent. I had the Oktoberfest special which was bratwurst, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes. Can’t wait to go back! 🥰

Rachel greeted us with a big smile, great suggestions on our order and continued to be attentive throughout our meal. The potstickers were phenomenal, an interesting reinterpretation of what we expected: spicey, crispy, perfect.

I dined with my friend on a Saturday evening early. As we sat down, the place was quiet and comfortable. As it got busier, it became a little loud. The server was incredible; friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. She made suggestions and even gave us samples of the wine. We had an autumn salad, a salmon dish with risotto, herbed falafel and an incredible almond pound cake. Everything was delish and fresh. The falafel was hard to describe, but lighter and with more herbs than normal; it came with a beet hummus. The salad was also fresh and tasty. The serving size was generous and we could not finish all our food. I would especially recommend the almond cake if you desire a sweet treat. Highly recommend.

    Creepies is great. It lived up to the hype and its excellent review in the New York Times. (We made our reservation about a week before the Times review appeared.) Creative bistro food with interesting and delicious departures from French standards. The gougeres, oeufs mayonnaises, frogs' legs, duck, and venison were all delicious. Our server was friendly and efficient. The ambience is nicely informal. The prices are a little high, especially for Chicago, but the meal was well worth the cost. Highly recommended.
