Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Norwood Park

Service was excellent. The ambiance and music were spot on. I only wish I hadn’t filled up on the bread with my appetizer (musroom with this amazing sauce) so I could have tried more of the other dishes

Such a special experience. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and attentive and everything from the dishware to the walls were beautiful.

Nice dining experience. Service and food were better than I expected.

Excellent food and service. Happy hour is nice with live music. The oysters were delicious. I will be back.

Willow Room continues to be one of our favorite neighborhood gems and our go-to restaurant before attending a performance at Steppenwolf Theatre. Once again, the food and service were exceptional! We started with the delicious hummus dips and mussels, both outstanding. The Brussels sprouts, with their flavorful soy-based glaze, are consistently excellent and never disappoint. My sister thoroughly enjoyed the kale salad with salmon, my brother opted for the delicious double-patty burger, and I had the perfectly prepared octopus. We finished with the Key lime pie, a wonderful ending to an outstanding meal. The service is always attentive, professional, and gracious, striking just the right balance between hospitality and efficiency. Willow Room consistently delivers a wonderful dining experience in a charming, welcoming atmosphere. A true neighborhood gem that keeps us coming back. Highly recommended!
