Reviews of The Warbler
Meg Lindsey
Amazing fresh and flavorful foods! The menu is adjusted seasonally. My friend & I split 5 family style dishes during their Supper Club hours (M-F 4:30-6:00pm) which is only $29 per person before tax and tip! Prices are super reasonable outside of the deal window as well. Great for all ages and tastes. Try to sit on the patio if possible. Brunch is worth checking out too.
Jen Weber
LOVED my first experience at the Warbler! The decor, ambiance, service, food presentation, and flavors were all incredible.
We ordered the arugula salad to split as an appetizer...so good. The lemon vinaigrette was perfect. I then ordered the grilled tofu. I'm not even vegetarian but the flavors seemed too good to pass up. I feel like I'm writing a love letter lol...but it was unlike anything I've ever had before! All senses were engaged – beautiful to look at, complex flavors, amazing textures. So impressed, and I'll be dragging my vegetarian friend back there immediately to try this tofu. We also got the brown butter cake for dessert and I was sad when it was over.
It's not very often I feel especially blown away by a meal, but this was unlike anything I've had in awhile. Definitely coming back asap!
Theresa Hoban
I had the cream of mushroom soup which was excellent and my husband had the salmon which was also very good. My friend had pasta which she enjoyed. The restaurant has a nice modern decor and friendly staff. The prices were very reasonable. It’s favored by the locals.
Ashley Mo
Great lunch spot in Lincoln Square for casual yet elevated fare. My go-to is the short rib sandwich, which has super tender beef. The salads are also crisp and bright, you can add a half portion to your meal for $6. The patio is lovely to sit on if you can snag a spot.
Katharine Schrager
This review is long overdue. I’ve been enjoying Warbler for years! Their supper club special is the best deal in the city, by far. I recently enjoyed a meal with my husband and mom. The butternut squash falafel is incredible! I always have to get the cauliflower - it’s crunchy, tangy, savory - it’s everything. The mushroom flatbread and salmon were also delicious. Do yourself a favor and get the skillet cookie for dessert!
Vishna Patel
Fresh and refreshing cocktails. The mushroom pasta with browned butter was spectacular. The tofu entree was cooked to a great texture but the sauce was lacking flavor. We also got the vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip cookie skillet for dessert which was the perfect way to end the meal!
Va Luchi
The burger, the ribs and the cauliflower were amazing. The tofu was good. Our server was very nice and provided a great service. It’s a very cool place with a patio.
Samuel Ciochon
My partner and I stopped by The Warbler looking for a lunch spot in Lincoln Square. Low and behold we drive past a very cute outdoor patio. On what turned out to be an early fall cool day we opted to sit at the bar which has really cool interior design/ambiance.
We ordered from the friendly staff and got the boneless chicken app, Cubano and chicken salad sandwiches. The boneless chicken sauce was sweet/tangy deliciousness maybe a bit crispy for my liking but not dry. The cubano was 🔥 (fire) very good and a little horseradish heavy but f-Ing amazing. Chicken salad sandwich was standard. Whole staff was on point.
Totally recommend! Next time, we are hitting up the patio!
Ana Mosqueda
This is the only picture I took, the mushroom soup. The food was so wonderful, I didn't care about a pic and wanted to dig in instead. Ordered the Korean style wings and the generous size and portion was enough for two. We shared a sandwich and we were extremely satisfied. This place is a vibe. It is affordable, has attentive staff, and delicious food.
Brad Kirshenbaum
Remarkable service, on par with Michelin starred restaurant in terms of their staff providing an exceptional experience.
Tremendous flatbreads, but you can’t miss with anything on the menu.
Wash it down with any of their cocktails (tried em all… no shame, all awesome).
Strong recommendation and this will be in our rotation of Lincoln Square spots for the foreseeable future.
Sruthi Venkataramanababu
Had a great experience overall at the restaurant.
Ordered two cocktails to start off. Both were good, slightly higher on the alcohol content, but no complaints there.
We ordered a veggie flatbread for appetizers and the corn pasta and tofu for entrées. Both were exceptionally good, fantastic balance of flavors, and great presentation. Service started out on the slower side with the drinks but all our other items came out pretty quickly.
The outdoor patio is great, as always since the weather is good, everyone prefers to sit outside and it can get a little noisy outside, but nothing too loud or uncomfortable.
Several vegetarian options as well on the menu. Would definitely put this on my recommended list of restaurants in the Chicago area.
Matt Zamborsky
Loved everything we had. The pastas, the veggie dishes, the cocktails, the dessert. Everything was fantastic, will definitely be back and only upset that we hadn’t been before.
Selcen Yuksel
Best falafel I’ve ever had and I’m Middle Eastern! Every single dish had such complexity of flavors and was amazing. Wonderful service and atmosphere too. I loved the butternut squash salad so much too!
Jaclyn Cecchin
I've been coming here for a couple of years now, and I can't believe how consistently overwhelmed I am by the ambience, experience, and food here.
The "SUPPER CLUB

Unfortunately, Supper Club is not available for Carry Out." is an amazing concept, and let's you try a lot of the menu.
I've personally had most of the vegetarian options on the menu.
I'm slacking on the pastas, But I know I'll get to them lol.
The broccoli is phenomenal!
The falafels are wonderful!
The veggie flatbread is next level delicious 😋!
The tofu dish is amazing!
The green beans are amazing!
The creme de la creme, for me personally though, is the mushroom soup chef's 😘!!!
The staff is so very accommodating and wonderful, and I love that they have some tables where you can see into the open kitchen, where the chefs make the most delicious beautiful food!!!
Jeff Cheney
I'm going back to this place as fast as humanly possible!! Food so good you would think Ratatouille made it under a chefs hat. Had several of their cocktails that didn't break the bank. They were packed so make reservations in advance. Worth it!!!
Roy Goodell
Wonderful dinner experience! Very classy interior with a creative menu full of flavorful, original dishes. Our server was excellent, stopping by at just the right times. The squash salad was delicious with a unique mix of flavors and textures incorporating croutons, mint, mango and squash, among other ingredients. The cocktails were also quality, cutely named according to the restaurant bird theme. The only negative was that the heating on the covered outdoor patio was uncomfortably strong.
Amy Hanson
The meal was great, the service was great, and the outdoor setting was lovely. It was my first time there, but my daughter chose this place because it is her favorite. Now it's one of mine as well.
Cassidi Hunkler
Tried this place because we couldn’t get a table at Gather, but so happy we ended up here! Such a great bar, loved the ambiance and set up inside. Had great drinks and wine and the most delicious pasta I’ve ever had. I got the spaghetti which was perfectly Al dente and included pickled fennel which was incredible. The tempura ribs were also delicious and my partner got the burger which was huge and so so good. Very reasonable prices for the quality and amount of food. Can’t wait to return, it’s a perfect upscale casual spot for drinks or a full meal.
Moochie Pork
The food was sooo good, we ate here two nights in a row, while attending events at Old Town School of Music!
Sergio Arenas
The Tofu dish was great, You could taste the grill on it. On a bed of spinach, sticky grilled rice and edamame. great soy sauce sauce and a garlic chili glaze for the tofu. Great, light, goes well with the Spanish white wine from Galicia 12 glass 48 bottle.
Jeff M Delgado
Great! Nothing less than great!
We a dinner party of 5 the other night and I was looking forward to it as I've never been here before.
We started off with some nachos which were tasty indeed!
Then I had 2 of their Purple Martin drinks consisting of Rye Whiskey, Allspice Dram, Lemon-Basil, Fresh Orange, Lime and Beet Juice.
Fusilli which included Shrimp, Garlic Cream Sauce, Sautéed Spinach, Fresh Garlic and Herbed Breadcrumbs. Fresh and tasty as they make their own pasta in house!
The service was amazing and the ambiance was cool. Parking is available along Lincoln and their is a lot next door as well.
I can't wait to head back!
Maddie Minogue
I can't say enough good things about The Warbler! The food is unbelievably fresh and flavorful, with so many veggie-forward and vegetarian options. The cocktails are creative and delicious, with mocktail options for those who don't want alcohol. Their dessert! Seasonal, fresh, unbelievably delicious. All with reasonable prices, friendly, relatable and helpful staff. It is a new neighborhood favorite and we plan to be back regularly!
Brianna Wolfson
In a city known for its restaurant scene, The Warbler may be our most frequented and favorite in the city. Come in for a cozy yet elevated neighborhood vibe perfect for a date night or group dinner. Pick from any of their tasty cocktails or have the talented bartenders whip you up a new creation. Our must haves on the menu: Tuscan Kale salad, Crispy Cauliflower, Burger. Honorable mentions (very close seconds): Chicken wings, Mushroom soup, Chicken Sausage Flatbread. For dessert, you can't go wrong with the skillet cookie or the carrot cake!
Nick Watt
Fantastic, finally got to go check out this place and it met all the high expectations I had. Every dish was great as were the cocktails. Recommend the tempura ribs and charred broccoli the most. Definitely will be going back!
David Horowitz
The menu had enough options that we could all find something we liked. Flavors were good and the food was fresh. Portion sizes were good and the service was also good. Restaurant got a bit loud and it became difficult to hear each other, that was our only big complaint. Despite how loud it was, we'll go back again.
David Camp
Have been here a few times for lunch and dinner and it had consistently been fantastic! Staff is very friendly, inside and outside seating are both very chic and the food has always been on point. We’ve had sandwiches, many apps, entrees and flat breads. Need to try the pasta as they look delish! Price is very reasonable as a bonus.
James Manuel
Was only here for happy hour cocktails. They were delish! The food we saw around us looked tempting and tasty. I would have definitely stayed to eat if we didn't already have reservations elsewhere. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Saurin Mehta
Instant addition to my Chicago favorites. Incredible food & cocktails, plenty of vegetarian + vegan choices, great ambience, a beautiful covered patio, and above all excellent service. What's not to like?
Mitchell Jones
This is great restaurant with tons of rotating items and drinks. The atmosphere is very hip and modern. I remember taking a couple friends here and at first they were concerned with the portions. But after tasting their dishes they realized how great the food was. If you haven't been give this place a try, they're worth it!
Aldriene Estacion
This place has great food, a must-go if you're looking for good dining in Lincoln Square, cool bar area and spacious outdoor patio, and the service was attentive too.
Pork belly was so soft and savory, flatbread was generously delicious, pasta was good, and cookie skillet dessert was just yum. Already planning a return visit! 😊
Meghan Knichel
There was quite a wait for an outside table so we had drinks and apps at the bar.
The food was wonderful! Had chicken wings and mushroom flatbread. Both had amazing flavor. I had 2 mixed drinks and the 2nd (G&T) one was good and strong.
Can't wait to go back for a full dinner.
Anne Leuck
Best burger I've had in a long time! Also really enjoyed the flatbread and cocktails on a previous visit. Beautiful decor and ambiance. Friendly staff. Very loud, though...
Shana Lombardi
Stumbled upon this place on a Thursday evening and found two seats at the bar. Can't remember the bar tenders name but he was fantastic, service was great and drinks were also delish. Food and atmosphere were both excellent
Greg Brandt
Great food and drinks. We had the burger and the fusilli. The burger is two thin burgers with all of the condiments and greenery. It is cooked and seasoned well and not greasy at all. The fries are SO good. The fusilli is cooked nicely and tastes good. The drinks were made well and they have a big selection. The cookie skillet for dessert was good. Their covid dining situation is perfect. Heated tent with one side open so there is airflow. Nice experience overall.
Vanessa Lech
Really liked the crispy artichokes and the fusili pasta with shrimp. Pear salad was pretty good. I'd skip the crispy cauliflower; it was over salted. Carrot cake is not traditional as in no cream cheese frosting which was a tiny let down.
Abhishek A
Yesterday was the 2nd time I went to dinner at the Warbler with my girlfriend, and as before, we had a lovely evening filled with tasty cocktails and delicious foods. Their Grilled Asparagus and Butternut squash falafel are so yummy, and thankfully vegetarian options. My girlfriend enjoyed their flatbread and salmon. I would come back again for sure!
Mary Johnston
Good food. Excellent cocktails. Great outside patio ( with heaters if need be). Our waiter was awesome!
araceliz vazquez
The food was amazing a must if you have never gone.
Jordan Simon
This is quite possibly my favorite restaurant in Chicago. I'll go every time now to get the burger. The cauliflower bites are absolutely insanely good. If I had to describe the burger it's a professional gastropub take on a big Mac. It puts au Chevelle's burger to shame. I would happily spend $3,000 a year dining here. The staff are very very nice and provide very very good service. Also the golden macaw drink is incredible. If you like pineapple juice and you like rum then this is the drink for you.
Casandra Donaldson
1st time visit for us. We did the Early Bird Special.. we picked the peach caprese salad, the cauliflower veg, a mushroom pasta, and the steak flat bread pizza with the peanut butter brownie and banana gelato dessert. Our friend joined us and ordered the chicken and sausage flat bread pizza. Everything was really good and I will definitely be back! Service was awesome (we had Kat) and we sat on their heated patio (I got a bit chilly because my seat didn't seem to be under the heat) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Neil Fine
A very fun place to eat and drink with the right mix of relaxed atmosphere but crisp professional food and service. Lots of fun tie ins with birds in the decor to play off the Warbler namesake. Everything I had was well prepared and presented. Great staff, a must visit if you are nearby. Can’t wait to try out the new patio with fireplace
Michael Lehet
As usual the food and the service were on par. Since we are living in the age of COVID-19 they do a great job of social distancing, mask and glove wear and cleaning. The menu seemed limited, but we definitely found things items that ignited our taste buds and filled our bellies.
Jeremiah Perkins
Amazing food and drinks!! We got the falafel and flat breads and my wife was so enthralled by the taste that she literally was quiet for like 3 minutes while eating here! It's delicious and worth a visit of you haven't been here!
Joe Cunningham
We got a chance to preview the food and the cocktail menu. The team that also runs Gather next door does not disappoint! We were able to sample most of the cocktails - Kookaburra and Bird’s Nest were our favorites with the Purple Martin getting creativity points! - and small selection of their food - the nachos were incredible with the grilled sausage being a fun take on Lincoln Square’s German influence. The flatbreads were good and we were told the size that is pictured is the size that is served.
Overall looks like a great addition to Lincoln Square with more of a casual energy than Gather!
rob fischer
The Warbler is Gather's sister restaurant so it has a high bar to live up to. Thankfully, it does, with flying colors. The dinner club special before 6pm is worthwhile and the children's menu has young kid classics like chicken tenders, noodles (butter or marinara), pizza, and salmon. These come with good fruits or veggies and a cookie or ice cream. So, if you're a stereotypical family with kids in the Lincoln Square area, check it out. The adult meals and drinks are superb, too. The service is also great.
Charles Nelson
Very, very nice place in all ways except maybe one (will get to that).
First off, easy to get to and easy to park if you're driving. Nice space with extremely nice folks staffing it. We sat facing the kitchen and it was clear that the work was serious but not angry.
And the food that came out was excellent. 4/5 of us got pasta dishes, with the oddball doing a "soup & appetizer" thing. However, everyone at the table agreed that the standouts for the meal were the plates for the group that we got first (salt cod & bread, two vegetables) which sold the meal on their own.
But that missing star needs explaining. To be fair, I'm older and so maybe I shouldn't go to these "casual hip" places that intentionally and reasonably are shooting for a younger crowd. I like friendly places with good food though so I will keep going back. The sound level though, well it bordered on "painful", enough that one of us had to go out onto the street just to get away from it for a bit (conversation suffered too). Not talking about the music, which was barely audible, but rather the din of people just having a good time. Additional sound dampening would go against the vibe that (I imagine anyway) they are going for so it would be unreasonable to expect, but I can wish. We will go back, I'm almost positive, but I expect we will wait for a table on the patio (which looked very chill) next time.
And so an easy solid 4 stars, with a nod towards 5 if you can deal with the sonic assault.
yitz weiss
Loved the food here! It's delicious and fresh. The staff is really nice and friendly.
I definitely recommend coming here.
Debra LaRocco
I met a friend here late one afternoon. It was well past lunch and there was only a few people here. The service was topnotch and I don't know how it is when it's crowded. I do plan on coming back because the food was excellent. I had tofu and crunchy noodles and my friend got a burger. We were both super happy with our choices. The design of the restaurant is relaxing and calm. I definitely recommend the Warbler. PS came back today with a couple of friends at lunchtime. Even with a crowd the service was still topnotch. I had the butternut squash falafel which was delicious! We'll be back again and again!
M M
Been here for dinner before and it was lovely (someone paid for me). Lunch/brunch was also good with a few issues: no baby changing table in the bathrooms, no vegetarian burger patty alternatives. The server accommodated some other meal customizations, which was great. Not a cheap place but good food and we found an entree + salad to be shareable by 2 people. I’d go again if I was feeling like I had some spare change and if I didn’t have children with me.
Sarah Monson
I’m so torn about the Warbler.
Pros:
- Such a good menu, genuinely something for everyone and a ton of good veggie forward items
- Everything we had was delicious
Cons
- Our server forgot to ring up one of our groups entrees, so it came 20 minutes later when the group had already completed eating. We were still charged full price for it.
- We really wanted a second (or even third) round of drinks, but weren’t asked at any point of time or given the opportunity
There’s a lot of good food in this city, Warbler’s service makes it hard to prioritize going back over one of the other dozen restaurants that have cracked the code on both food and service.
adam robbins
I'll give it 5 because of London the waitress. She rocks. Food was good. I was visiting my daughter and London gave us the opportunity to sit and have conversation. I've been in the food industry and table turnover is important, so we stayed maybe 10 minutes after we we were given the bill, but were still respectful of taking up a table, but never felt rushed to get out. So the experience was worth it!
Samuel Phara
The Warbler is my go-to neighborhood "fancier" place. The food is phenomenal (cannot recommend the Hawaiian flatbread enough!!) and the cocktails are very fun. The atmosphere is cozy, yet upscale enough where it feels like a treat. Everyone here is always very nice and attentive. Highly recommend making a reservation beforehand, especially if you have a bigger group.
Mark Davy
Service was great. Cocktails and food were good, would definitely go back.
Sarah Hamilton
Best cauliflower experience of my life. Please get the cauliflower. I don’t know what they did to it, but it’s one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Everything here is very expensive but honestly it’s so good and worth it.
Julia McMahon
You cannot beat their supper club special. I've tried almost their whole menu just by going a few times. The food here is yummy, thoughtful and fun and the service is seriously top notch
Tammy Owins
What a treat to dine with a sense of normalcy. Lunched on the patio, distanced, masked, unmasked and great food. Had the Sweet Corn Falafel and a couple juicy brews.
Kirby Aull
Delicious dinner! And amazing cocktails. It was a great experience for a birthday dinner.
Truthful Reviewer
Presentations of the food is great, flavor is exquisite 👌🏻 😋 and the communication of the staff and service was spotless in our visit definitely worth the cos of the food. Thank you you guys are doing Amazing job
Another Name
The service was excellent. I had a mac n cheese plate and it was not that good. The carrot cake dessert was real good. Chicken wing appetizers were delicious. Clean bathrooms.
traci kato-kiriyama
Lovely place, good service - we enjoyed everything that came to the table...the mussels, pasta, salad, dessert. We sat in the back as the indoor seating was pretty loud at dinner time. The only thing that was somewhat uncomfortable was how much they had the heat lamps cranked up (every surface was hot to the touch). Not the hugest deal, but they can’t turn just one lamp down, so be prepared to strip down!
tif impson
At first, I had a hard time with this place. Not because the menu was a simple page, but because the menu was a plethora of foods on it that I needed to stuff my face with. Thankfully, I was with a group that was all about sampling and sharing. So much food was had that I’ve forgotten everything we ordered, save for a few items: the curry flatbread, the corn farrotto, and the carrot cake. All three were quite the delight, and I can’t wait to get back over for more. This is a great joint in the old Bad Dog spot.
Crystal Robles
Extensive cocktail/wine menu; mushroom soup and prime loin are definitely something to go back for. Was surprised that they didn't have much to set themselves apart from other restaurants in the area. However, great vibe and friendly staff.
Little note that j found pretty cool: they serve wine from the vineyard that the lead singer of Tool owns in Arizona. (Pictured)
David May
Warm cozy place. Booths opposite the kitchen are great. Let's on the menu. Flatbed, pasta, interesting prepared vegtables, salads, burger, salmon. Really something for everyone. And big menu of cocktails. There's Street parking and pay public lot right next door.
Doreen Zappia
Sat at the bar for apps and their Bartender guided us through menu and is by far the best mixologist I’ve come across.
Kristina Giffin
This restaurant has recently just opened and I'm so glad it did. It was styled beautifully. Love the different tiles, the bar, the lights, the separate sections. It is really a beautiful restaurant. I'm glad the food held up. The space is pretty large and there is a ton of seating, but if you have a group larger than 5, there might be issues (unless the last back section has larger tables? that I might have missed). The lighting is dim, but not dark. Good music and the whole place has a good feeling. The food is great as well. I might say that the food wasnt as good as Gather next door (please note they are owned by the the same owner), but maybe its jut first few month jitters. I'm sure their flavors will be spot on soon, because it was already so close to perfection. The pasta comes in nice sizes, not overblown amounts and the texture was perfectly al dente (though one from the two we got was overly salty). The salads were very flavorful, the cocktails were nice and liquor filled; no watered down nonsense. The desserts were on the larger side so maybe share. All in all a great addition to the neighborhood. Great for dates. Looking forward to coming here again soon.
B. Southworth
Great atmosphere and food. Hip and cozy. Good prices and excellent food. I'll definitely be back.
ckurse
This is such a good spot to get cheap dinner! The Bucatini was so good that I’m definitely coming back!
Tommy Christian
Cozy, modern interior + lively atmosphere, but not distracting.
Staff is attentive and know the menu. We ate at a table, but may opt for the bar next time — very well made part of the restaurant.
Food was upscale casual. Smaller portions between vegetables and pasta, but still shareable. Burger was very good, though rich and can be a bit much for one person. Would recommend sharing.
Laura Ltt
Had the chicken “wings” appetizer, the tempura ribs, and the pork belly. Absolutely the most flavorful things I’ve eaten, I think everything else I’ve consumed in the past two years completely pales in comparison. Cocktails great as well. Will be recommending this place to everyone!
Kendrick Hintz
I've been to The Warbler a good few times for everything to a couple drinks with friends to dinner with family. They've never disappointed. Waitstaff and bartenders have always been super friendly, food has always been great, and the cocktails are really good too!! The patio was great over the plague and continues to have amazing vibes!
Gladys Georges
Beautiful and comfortable, designed to appeal to all the senses. Includes a wonderful bar area as well. Menu items are what you might find in places comparable to this but with absolutely fresh ingredients and slight twist on the flavor and preparation. Go there for dinner or just appetizers. Definitely a place to experience with friends or for a date.
Pat OBrien
What a great dining experience. The food was outstanding -- creative and interesting but not over the top -- and our waitress was really good. The cocktails and drink selection also deserve a mention. We had a great time and will definitely go back.
Brian Joseph
Was a little questionable about this place but it turned out to be a hidden gem that everyone else knew about apparently. Went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. It had some interesting options; tapas, small plates, pasta, flatbread pizza, salads and entrees like pork and Chicken, but also a burger. I had the burger, and I have to say, one of the best burgers I've had. Dimly lit, cozy, great place for a date. Dinner for two, appetizer, bottle of wine and dessert will be around $100. Great service, with an open air kitchen.
Kyle Porter
Best mushroom soup ever. I really like their short rib sandwich for lunch. The Cuban is very good as well. Just be prepared for the mustard. I love it but it does have some horseradish. Get a resi. Not a chance of getting in without
Briana B
Good menu options, lovely staff, cozy booth seating. I went with my grandma and shared a mushroom soup, the fried cauliflower, and a Cubano, and it was all extremely flavorful and bright tasting. The textures were all excellent, and the plating was so thoughtful and really elevated the food. Yum yum yum. Can't wait to get drinks at their gorgeous bar.
Joseph Hopson
The food at the Warbler is amazing. We ate the supper club and each dish was great. It's a great combination of family friendly, yet thoughtful, savory, food. Perhaps the best flatbread I've ever had. Crispy cauliflower had amazing textures and was extremely tasty. Pasta was very rich and fulfilling.
The reason I can't give 5 stars was the outdoor expanded dining was incredibly hot. Our table was directly in the middle of the space, directly under the middle heat lamp. We were sweating when eating. When we notified the service how hot we were the response was not taken seriously - the temperature difference was negligible after notifying. Adding insult to injury, our water glasses were often empty as we drank so much water and didn't refill out waters very often. We almost were not able to make it through the whole dinner and contemplated walking out and paying for / cutting out losses in order to cool down.
With all this said, incredible food, but be careful eating on the outdoor dining area with heating lamps in cold weather. We personally cannot do it again and I would challenge management to sit under it for 2 hours themselves. Which is a shame considering how great the food is cooked in the kitchen.
R “Just Me” Ware
I had an outstanding experience. From the friendly staff to the great setup of the place amd not to mention the food...the food was totally outstanding. Hopefully you'll get the opportunity to have the handsome Ben being your waiter. He gave my best friend and I great suggestions on the menu and again he was a joy to look at.
Dru Shockley
If I could award The Warbler with more stars than 5, I would. The salmon was so delicate and delicious. Great vibe inside. The staff are spot on! I'm eager to come back and try some vegetarian starters!
Amanda Welsh
24 hours later and I can't stop thinking about that cheeseburger! Honestly, the best cheeseburger I've ever had. A smashburger with the perfect toppings. The fries were super crispy and delicious. My friend had the Hawaiian flatbread and it was incredible! The drinks were superb as well and the service made a great experience one of the best I've had in a long time. I can't wait to go back!
Rebecca Ciprus
Wow. I knew this place was going to be good but I didn’t know it was going to be exceptional. Tried to book a last minute res on a Friday night but they were already fully booked. Their menu looked so good that we decided to take a chance and walk in anyway. The Maître ‘D was very kind and welcoming and was able to seat us on the patio right away. Seems like they hold back tables for walk-ins which is very smart for a neighborhood like Lincoln Square. The ambiance was perfect outside. Whoever designed this restaurant has a very sharp eye for contemporary modern aesthetic with a playful nod to their bird-centric concept.
Onto the food & drinks! We started out with a couple whiskey cocktails, trying the Purple Martin and The Regal Eagle. Both were a little sweet for my taste but grew on me once our food arrived. My bf and I are both vegetarian and were excited to see so many enticing veg-friendly dishes.
The Roasted Carrots: never have I had more perfectly cooked carrots in my life. This is a very beautiful, generous dish that toes the line between comfort food (with the perfectly fried onion rings) and fine dining (with the celery root purée).
The Arugula Salad: light and herbaceous greens on a bed of creamy whipped ricotta. Punctuated by halved olives and a satisfying crunch of pickled fennel. Perfect size too!
The Grilled Tofu: Wow. This was the showstopper. The tofu “filet” was cooked to absolute perfection; crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside and a nice char from the grill. The sautéed spinach melted in your mouth and the miso purée was an umami dream. Overall, a harmonious explosion of flavors and textures! I highly recommend this to veg and non-veg folks alike.
Everything we tried was a total hit and worth every penny! The attention to detail and depth of flavor for each dish was impressive. We can’t wait to go back!

Loud and we were seated outside! Inside as we walked through was Really loud.
Food was good, especially the chicken wings. Service good for a very busy week night.
Kristine Schultz
Excellent service! Helpful and attentive staff. Great cocktails. Delicious menu. Highly recommend.
Adrienne Price
I love this place! The food is fresh and amazing, and the service is wonderful. They always accommodate my partners dietary restrictions and the food is still delicious and high quality. highly recommend!
Emily Fuder
The supper club is worth it! Get the Korean wings and feast. Loved all the cocktails, especially the one with mezcal. For dessert we did carrot cake and the crunch in the ice cream was worth writing home about. Excellent service. We went at 5:15 on a Tuesday and were seated immediately for a party of 4. Would go back.
Cecilia Fernandes
I've been here a few times and the food and drinks are always good. We reserved a table for Valentine's Day and had a great experience. The staff is really helpful - I left something behind (a card) on v-day which they could have easily thrown away. Instead, they kept it and I was able to get it back days later. Thanks guys!
Jack Vogel
It's legit our most consistently favorite place to go for lunch or dinner in Chicago. Great for a date night, great with the kids, great as take out. It's never disappointed.
Raed Mansour
Usually consistent food and menu, service is always good and they’re very accommodating. They usually have vegan offerings and they do usually make accommodations in their dinner menu but not as well in their lunch menu. They ended up overcooking the two menu items we ordered and for the group we were with, their nonvegan food was also overcooked. They may have had an off day.
Daniel Panek
Pretty nice place, good drinks
Matt Bowen
Took my wife here and we had a lovely time. We had the baby back ribs, which came with pickled blueberries. They were unusual but really good. My wife had a burger which was wonderful and I had the Hawaiian flatbread which was out of this world. Modest prices with excitement service. Great for an improvised date night with my wife.
Janice Roush
Great all around. Definitely worth trying. The flatbreads are crazy good.
James
The food here is impressively affordable given how delicious it is. Never had something I don't like
Kevin Gancarz
Some of the best food in the area without being pretentious (at least not too much).
Lots of vegetarian options that don’t feel like eating vegetarian.
Creative cocktails, and lots of shareable dishes with fresh and seasonal ingredients. Get a reservation regardless of the night, it’s usually busy.
Tiffany Washburn
Delicious food! The crispy cauliflower was incredible, but all the food was very nice. The patio is more inside than outside, and a bit loud, but in general the ambiance is also pleasant. Service was attentive and friendly!
Marco Pereira
I got the best cheeseburger of my life there. I wasn't sure about ordering it as they have nicer food but the burger was just amazing. I'm definitely planning to go back for another one. We got there on a Saturday around 9pm and it was kind of busy but it has enough space.
Raechelle Evans
The seating outside was very nice and comfy. The cherry limeade was just Ok, not very flavorful, watered down. The Kale salad is delicious and would go back for that. The cauliflower was a bit too salty and all the flavors didn't come together for me as others have raved about it. My friends enjoyed their meals but no one said they would come back.
Dan Reamer
In my opinion, they have one of the best burgers in town! The menu is on the small side but once you have one of their burgers, you won’t want to have anything else. They have a nice, covered patio and plenty of indoor seating. The ambience at this place is always great, and service was good too.
roy lewandowski
Relaxing, you don't feel rushed, just the right amount of service and some great menu choices. Convenient parking nearby.
Jenni P
Excellent food and cocktails (including N/A "refreshers"). The mushroom soup is excellent, lightly creamy with actual mushrooms, and an amazing drizzle, 100% would recommend. We didn't have a bad bite, but the mushroom soup was extraordinary!
The patio is lovely and very picturesque, and their covid protocols are safe and done very well.
Elizabeth MacDonell
Great apps and mains. Highly recommend the falafel for a vegan option.
Keith Miles
We were really loved everything we ordered. Excellent service from our server London. Will be back soon. Next time I’ll save room for dessert.
Jeanette Lieb
The hosts were incredibly accommodating for a walk-in party of four last Friday evening. They found space on the heated patio for us and even served us drinks on the unheated patio while we were waiting for the table. Our server was also fantastic. She was on top of it with drinks, really friendly and made great recommendations!
We shared a large variety of dishes and everything was spot on! The Tuscan kale salad, mushroom agnolotti and sweet potato falafel were delicious. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place.
Angela D'Ercole
One star removed for lack of lactose friendly options, but I made it work regardless. Very interesting plates that were very delicious but not cohesive as a meal. Highly recommend the carrot cake
William Keel
Got the pork nachos & in house wheat pasta.. I was enjoying every bite. I can't wait to come back and try more things.
liz finan
Tasty food. Each dish that we shared was quite complex and interesting, except dessert of homemade sorbet. The sorbet was outstanding. Good wine list.fantastic service.
J.A. J.
delicious chicken sandwich and fries are the thin crispy type, my favorite. great service, nice quiet room in back. easy parking in public lot next door.
mark esposito
Bar seating was great! Cocktails are on point. Mussels were very good!
Emily Brink
I loved it! What a cute place. The only drawback was we got there before they started dinner service so I think we missed out on some of their dishes, but we had a very nice time.
Shelley Wilson
Great food, attentive staff but not smothering. Very nice indoor seating and patio options. Could have been a few degrees warmer but heaters not on yet. Won't keep me from going back! Highly recommend!
linchikas
Great patio with attentive service and well picked menu.
Jennifer Berg
Enjoyed a fantastic Sunday brunch outside on the patio. Nicely balanced menu with plenty of options for those who lean plant-based or vegetarian. The Crispy Cauliflower appetizer was especially good. Generous portions and excellent cocktails!
Chelsea Lux
Absolutely fantastic! The inside is gorgeous! We sat outside which was covered. It worked out great because it started to rain, we got to enjoy the outside without getting wet. The service was fantastic, they were great with refilling our water and taking away our finished plates. The food was awesome! My mom had the best dish which was the prime strip loin, very gourmet. The mushroom soup was also fantastic! What I loved about the place was how family friendly it was. It's very hard to find nice restaurants that are family friendly. It was great to see! I will definitely come back!
Sheila Devi
I love this place. I’m back in Chicago after moving and it’s on the short list of places I wanted to come back. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. Chris and Amelie took great care of me, too. Thanks!
Rina Caldwell
Wonderful service and food, so helpful with my allergies! The wine and cocktail selection was notable varied as well. One of my favorite places in the area and better than a lot of similar choices nearby, in my opinion
Jason Scheffers
We came before a show. Had the salmon and the cauliflower. Both were amazing. Finished the night with some brown butter cake. I could eat that every day. The cocktails also hit the spot.
Samantha Heberlein
Recently went with my family and decided to get 1 round of cocktails and split a bottle of wine, and then go family style for the food because we couldn't decide on one thing each that sounded good. We started with the chicken wings and crispy cauliflower. I had the Rose Bill for a drink and it was delicious, light, crisp and just boozy enough- amazing. Flavors were phenomenal.
Then we split the Tuscan Kale Salad, The Salmon, The Gnocchi and the Brown Buttered pasta. All of them were perfectly prepared, each flavor stood out from the next. Fantastic.
I am local now and plan to return again.
Katherine Rhead
A great patio experience. Shout out to Ryan for accommodating our group's last min reservation with a nice table outdoor under a shady tree. The food here is very good, true American style. The staff and waitress were all very nice. I came here for brunch with friends, there were 4 of us. One of our friends is vegetarian and we wanted to go somewhere with good options for her as well. We started off sharing the crispy cauliflower appetizer and drinks. They have an extensive drinks list ranging from cocktails, non alcoholic refreshers (that you could add alcohol to), draft beers, and canned drinks. The one thing to note is that despite a full service bar and being open for brunch, they do not have bloody Marys. The waitress suggested The Robin, a tequila based cocktail and I had that instead. It was nice, a bit sweet and highlighted with a basil taste. My friends had a cherry limeade refresher and also a hard kombucha in a can. They had an extensive list of cocktails I considered ordering but wanted to refrain in this instance.
I was feeling hungover so I opted for the burger and fries. Great choice. More of a diner style burger with two patties and melted cheese between, it was cooked perfectly. Nice and juicy. It came with the option of fries, homemade chips, or salad. I went with fries and I ate every single morsel of food on my plate, including the homemade pickles. Another friend had the short rib sandwich. It came on focaccia bread which while good was very thick. She ended up eating it more as a "open faced sandwhich". Our vegetarian friend opted for a crispy tofu dish. All were pleased with our choices. For dessert we excitedly had to go for the cookie skillet. It was soooo good with ice cream on top. The perfect ending to a Sunday brunch.
Other things to note are that inside it is an open kitchen, meaning you can see into the kitchen as they prepare food. Additionally, there is a large parking lot next to the restaurant. It is timed pay street parking by the city but is free on Sundays. If you're driving, it's nice to know there is ease of street parking onsite. This wasn't my first time there, will definitely go back.
Rachel Berg
I've never had a bad dish! Vegetarian friendly. Great vibe and decor. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced for such great food.
Octavio Z
Went here on a date night with my gf. The service was great, decor is very thoughtfully put together.
we had the ribs as an appetizer. They were ok. I had a barbacoa flat bread, and my gf had the falafel. Everything came with pickled vegetables which were not good. If you like vinegary taste it may appeal to you but wasn’t my kind of food.
Crystal Ruiz
The food was AMAZING! I ordered the vegetable flatbread. Potato chip crisps, drizzled balsamic, tiny potato squares, sturdy, crispy flatbread, tender tomatoes... a pleasure of tastes and textures! Vegan and delicious.
My friend ordered the shrimp fusilli. This was cooked so well! Creamy & delicious. The shrimp were large tender & flavorful.
When we arrived they had available seating by the window, which provided a great view of people passing by. Not everybody realized that we were sitting right there and got a little close, but it was still fun to people watch and eat and talk and feel the breeze and the ambiance of the street and the bar at the restaurant behind us.
The service was attentive & friendly without being overwhelming and interruptive. The staff were great and added such wonderful interaction to the overall experience. The food, incredible! This experience was such a delight!
This was a relaxed and joyful eating experience.
Andrew Kucharski
The Warbler, and the sister restaurant the Gather are hands down the best restaurants in Chicago right now. They should have a Michelin star. I know they're not going for that but the food is amazing. They do vegetables very well, you can get vegan without bending over backwards on the food choices, and as an omnivore it's fantastic. The service is best, they get consistently amazing people to work there.
Finally, especially during covid the ambiance is safe and very comfortable. Lots of outdoor space, very good spacing and they manage to make it feel naturally great without having you think about what's going on you feel safe, comfortable and cool.
Highly highly recommended and it won't break the bank.
Kyle Leonard
Delicious food and great ambiance. Would highly recommend. We did a full buffet style of orders where we all got a dish and a couple of sides. Every item was great.
Heidi Peters
A few weeks ago, a group of five of us came here for dinner. London was our server, and she was great!! She explained the menu well, and recomended one of her favorites, the roasted cauliflower, which was delicious.
We pretty much got a bunch of different items and shared everything. Everything had so much flavor :)
We also had a great booth which had a view of the kitchen, and the staff was very friendly with great service.
I highly recommend this place.
Nick Hyland
Truly a fantastic team of individuals. I called in to see if we could be seated sooner than the reservation we had and their team got us in a whole hour sooner. From the tender baby back ribs, to the crispy-gooey baked cookie, my trio had a fantastic time. I will definitely be back!
Chandler Bryla
Went for Lunch. Menu attached. Wasn’t informed lunch menu was in effect until I arrived by bartender (greeted by morning manager). Waitstaff and food is still really good. Would recommend
Igor Prus
Awesome atmosphere, great drinks and food! Definitely recommend!
Evelyn Ranney
The food and cocktails were amazing. We showed up without reservations on a Saturday night at 7:00. Poor planning, I know. There was a two and a half hour wait for a table, but the bar was only about 20 minutes. We said we’d sit at the bar and as soon as we walked up to order a drink, two spots opened up. We were seated at a cozy spot at the end of the bar immediately. The food was great. My husband got the burger and claims it’s one of the best he’s ever had. Top tier. I had a bite and I have to agree. The fries were great too. I had the Mushroom Agnolotti which was delicious, but not a ton of food. I would have been hungry if we hadn’t also ordered the crab and papaya salad (also very good). The cocktails were great and the servers were super nice. The host made us feel right at home as soon as we walked in. We will definitely be back.
morgan larocca
Everything on the menu is delicious and priced right. The service is incredible. If The Warbler was a person I would want them to be mayor. They deliver on all their promises. #warbler2024
Pete Rubinas
Enjoyed a nice vegetarian meal on the heated patio at this comfortable spot. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, and the carrot cake was amazing. Overall, a very nice experience that I can highly recommend.
Fayth K
I first went here at the suggestion of a friend who is a vegetarian. We ended up doing the Supper Club which is offered from opening until 6pm. It's a great deal for 5 courses, portioned to share. It's a great way to try a lot of menu items, which we did. Veggie dishes are delicious, even if you're not a vegetarian. Steamed mussels are standard, but good. The flatbread options are good. In a few dishes there were little bits of basically nut brittle, that were surprisingly good. Focus here is on locally sourced ingredients, and the touches of nut butters and other somewhat unconventional ingredients are all really delicious.
I've been back a few times, so I can confidently say that service is consistently great. Staff is casual, but attentive. No specific type of crowd here, but in the earlier hours there are a few familes with kids. I wouldn't consider this a family place at night. There's a huge outdoor area that is heated and covered on cooler evenings. In addition to wine and cocktail options, they offer really refreshing non-alcoholic drinks made with fresh herbs and juices. Desserts are big, so save room and plan to share.
Ethan Bitar
Loved this place. Not so expensive that it breaks the bank, but the food tastes and looks as though it could cost nearly double what it does. Moderate portion sizes were marginally larger than what I expected.
Be warned, however, that this place gets busy (understandably); the popularity does bring noise with it. Definitely make reservations if you plan to go on a weekend or holiday.
The atmosphere and design of the restaurant, though, made up for the small annoyance of the crowd. It was very chic and modern, and the open air kitchen was interesting to see in action. To top it off, the waitstaff were exceedingly kind and not in a hurry to get us out despite it being seemingly a full house. They cemented the restaurant at a 5-star rating in my eyes.
Thank you for an excellent dinner, Warbler.
Julia Rivera
Beautiful space. Liked everything that we ordered except for the mussels. They were too fishy for our taste and the broth was bland. The saffron and shrimp pasta was our favorite dish. And although basic, the skillet cookie and ice cream alone would make me go back.
B B
I was here visiting from out of town-my first time to Chicago-I was impressed by how safe this place was during COVID-19. They did everything right. The place was clean, food was superb and the staff was extremely attentive and kind. I had the burger-which was huge and I could not finish-it was that big. I really thank the staff for taking great care of us and also the drink menu and good selection of beer. I will be back again when I visit Chicago.
J. R. Porter
Great staff, food is not the best. The wings are too big and the ribs were slightly under cooked which made it difficult to pull the meat from the bone. Great beer selection, I recommend the Ninja vs Unicorn. Nolan was great.
Matthew Henkle
Great service and the pastas are amazing. Our flatbread was just ok, the fried chips that were put on were way burnt so much better after removing those. I'll be back for sure to try more.
Juliana Bartel
Great drinks, good food. The hostess and greeting was off putting. I told the hostess I was interested in a table for 2 and my partner was about to arrive. She said she couldn't seat me until the whole party was here, which I understood. I sat at the bar and waited less than 5 minutes. When my partner arrived I found the hostess again and then she told me there were no tables available. Why wouldn't she be up front about it to begin with?! It was a very strange and uncomfortable interaction. We decided to stay and ate at the bar. The bar tenders were great, excellent service. And our food was very good. I'll be back on a sunny day to use the patio and maybe avoid that hostess.
Emily Judas
Walked by and patio looked adorable. They were able to make some room for us and we had an awesome lunch! Loved the grilled cheese and burger. Will definitely go back!
Robert Vondrash
This place has a great atmosphere to start. The seating arrangements were well laid out and the both we were say at was great for conversing. The service from the moment we walked in the door was superb. They took our coats and our server was very attentive and considerate. The drinks were phenomenal and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.
Tony Mattar
My boyfriend and I are vegan and this is one of our favorite restaurants! We love that there are lots of vegan options. The food is incredibly delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We will continue to support! London the server is a standout staff member :)
Jerome Witte
An awesome addition to the neighborhood. Stopped by last night for a few drinks before dinner. Everyone associated with the place was very friendly and welcoming. The menu is dynamic, with a number of items that you just flat out do not see very often. I'm a meat eater, but I love my veggies as well. The decor is well thought out and so aesthetically pleasing.
Corey Ascolani
Always great food, ambiance, drinks and staff. My wife and I have been going here for about 4 years.
fiona deroo
Excellent service, great menu.
Ian Iyengar
Had no idea this place existed! The wings and the flatbread pizza had some unique twists, and the drink menu was awesome. Sitting outside under the covered patio was nice. Can't wait to return.
Jon Barkmeier
Really cool cocktail menu. They also do a good job with specific cocktail requests. I think the food menu is a bit limited for how often I go but it's great food. The menu has plenty to explore for your first three dinners there. The outdoor space is pretty nice in the summer - really great place to catch a pre-dinner drink at the outdoor bar if you have reservations somewhere else.
Colleen Duncan
We had a delicious meal on a beautiful patio, with great service - Thanks Stephanie!
Cameron Full
Food was excellent. Much needed addition to Lincoln Square.
Neena O
Super cute place. Menu has a variety of things you can choose from. Great for a date night.
Sabrina N
Service, food and drinks were AMAZING! Got the Rose Bill and butternut squash falafel. Definitely a new favorite spot!
An Su
The atmosphere is great, but the food portions are TINY. I ordered a pasta dish and there was only enough food on my plate to feed a small baby. We got back from the restaurant and ordered a pizza.
Ana M
Amazing staff, great atmosphere. We came in for an early dinner. Reservations full but we waited for a seat at the bar. Someone came to us within minutes of arriving to offer us a drink while we waited. Place was packed but they were so attentive we felt like VIPs. Decor is very warm. Great mix of clientele. Food and cocktails were a hit. Definitely my new favorite hang out.
Kate Troutman
Unbelievable!
Supper club (before 6 on weekdays) has an unbeatable price tag and allows you to try a variety of plates. Highly recommend
molly malone
Pastas are absolutely incredible. Fun plates to share. Excellent, well rounded flavors. Great wine list. Friendly, well paced, knowledgable service. It's noisy, so you've got to get behind that. The outside bar is pretty perfect when it's warm.
Bill Lyman
Very cool place. Great food and wonderful service.
Keith Haddad
We started with Chicken wings and the Grecian sausage appetizers which were very good. The Pork loin dinner was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The Flatbread pizza was very good. The Arugula salad was really good. The roasted Mushroom soup was very good too. The Falafel was tasty.
Autumn Shippy
Excellent food and drinks! Very cute outdoor patio.
Sami Mikhail
Nice! Great food. Great service. Nice spot.
Jacob Bankston
As you can see I have been here many times mostly for their early bird supper club dinner for only $25. Their family-style supper club is available 4:30-6:00pm Monday-Friday. Our table can choose a selection of five dishes from their regular dinner offering including one salad, any two appetizers, vegetable dishes or house made pastas and their favorite flatbread. Their menu is friendly enough for children, but elevated so that the adults will truly enjoy it too. Kids nine and under are complimentary!
Kyle Barhamand
Two visits in three weeks and I couldn't be more impressed. The folks from Gather have done a fine job translating their upscale American contemporary cuisine to this laid-back yet stylish (almost retro) neighborhood spot. The supper club deal during the week was a huge hit with my family (tiny bit of feedback: courses need a little more space between them) and the cocktails are progressive and food friendly. Highly recommended.
Rachel Kellison
We have been there many times, and never disappointed. The hostess is friendly and seats us promptly. Our waitress, London, was phenomenal; attentive. We had carne asada flatbread and their homemade sausage is super delicious starters. My daughter enjoys the mushroom pasta and I had the crispy falafel with crispy chickpeas and pistachios. Skillet chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The best...took some of my dinner home so I could enjoy yummy dessert. 😁
One of our favorite places to eat
Valeta Baty
I would regard this restaurant as a little overpriced for the fare offered, but certainly a step up from the typical "take away" options. I wasn't wowed, but I was also not disgruntled.
V T
Nice place and loved the patio
- good food
- good drinks
Loved the area
seville bekanon
Food was fantastic and the drinks were refreshing and tasty. We came on a day that forecasted for rain while sitting outdoors. Not sure what his actual job title is but Cole did an amazing job taking care of us during our visit. He wasn't even our host but he went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.
Jonathan Carter
Our group of 5 had a booth with a view into the open kitchen. We shared the Crispy Cauliflower as appetizer which was yummy. For dinner, had the Cedar Planked Salmon with blood orange and citrus puree...delicious! Other entrees were the Crispy Falafel with tasty sumac onions and the Burger, which was a double patty with light sauce in-between. Great service by Maddie. Hope to return soon!
Erica P
We've been coming here since they opened and it's a favorite in Lincoln Square. Please bring back the steak and cilantro sauce pizza. We specifically came for that pizza and we had the barbacoa pizza with pickled carrots (it doesn't list pickled carrots as an ingredient on the menu.) Anyway, not a fan at all. Other that that, love the restaurant.
Kristin Reynolds
Dinner here was exceptional as was our server. We started with the crispy cauliflower with ponzu glaze. It is easily shared and was really delicious. I had mussels while others had agnolotti and flat bread pizza. All perfect. The cocktails are equally well made. Highly recommend. Only downside is that the noise level is high.
Kate Monaghan
An amazing prix fixe for our Valentine's day dinner. Each dish is so complex and every component perfectly compliments the rest. There was so much food; we left so satisfied. The bird themed cocktails are delicious. Bird's nest is my personal favorite.
Jens
As so many others, I agree the food was really good. Beautiful place. While the host was very nice, the service was barely okay, definitely not in line with the quality of the place. Also, too many kids!!! Why would anybody bring their kids to such a place?
Alex Tanasescu
The place is awesome. Modern and comfortable. Music is perfect for a dinner. The place is extra clean. The food is very tasty! All the people that work here are nice and they smile. Keep doing the good job guys! One of my favourite dinner restaurants from now on! 👍 …
John Wollney
Very cool place. The staff is amazing, and somehow the food is even better! They were full for reservations, but after reaching out to them, they were able to squeeze me in and were very accommodating. Great place, great vibe, great service, and amazing food! Definitely going back. Thanks for a memorable night!
Rachael Babiracki
I ate here last week with friends while in town for business and OMG. The food was so good and the atmosphere was so chill. We ate on the patio and the ambience was really fun. A very hip spot with interesting menu and drinks, and captures the feel of Chicago in a really modern way. Loved it.
Lizzy Malave
Just ordered take out for the first time, equally as dynamite as when I ate there and survived my 35 minute drive home. This time I tried the mushroom agnolotti, soooooo delicious. Do yourself a favor and visit, worth every $.
G V
Great brunch spot. Falafel was delicious.
Andrew Zimmerman
Had a great date night on the patio of The Warbler. The food was fantastic with really unique flavor profiles and combinations. Solid cocktails too. We had a wonderful time.
Allan Haze
Fantastic food! All the vegetable plates are outstanding. Attentive service and great pacing of different small plates. Room is a bit noisy but not so much that you cannot have a good time. Ask for a table in the back in you are really averse.
David L
Great dining experience - the place has great vibes and decor. Went on a Saturday night and it was full for our 9pm reso. Service was attentive and helpful - kudos to the front of the house. Food was delicious, lots of umami flavors across the menu - the cauliflower app was fantastic, pork belly nachos and mushroom agnolotti were standouts as well among a number of other really good dishes. Wine list was somewhat uninspired, and the only thing I would consider a knock against it, but not so much to give it anything less than 5 stars. Don't miss this great restaurant!
Ash Carnesecchi
didn't realize how fancy this place was and came underdressed... but it was amazing! staff was so nice, and the food was delicious. reservations are a good idea here. a great plus was that there is a city parking lot right next to it, so no parallel parking needed!!
Joe Bare
Great cocktails; beautiful outdoor patio perfect for a sunny evening. The pasta is fresh and well made. But the fries that come with the excellent cheeseburger were not good.
corey richardson
Came here for drinks and huge shout out to the service team. But London was the GOAT, made us feel comfortable with the covid policies and gave some amazing drink reviews. The patio is the gold standard for outdoor eating.
Will come back and fingers crossed we'll get London again.
Emily Williams
Absolutely LOVE the heated patio at The Warbler! The food and drinks are awesome. The server London has served us multiple times and she is the best, always there exactly when you need her.
Robin Bingham
Exquisite, eclectic cuisine with phenomenal cocktails. Great atmosphere, attentive service, and a wonderful ambience. The patio is lovely, but so is the indoor seating.
Utkarsh Pandey
Amazing appetizer! Food was well above average and way surpassed expectations. Service was a little slow but my party was very happy overall. Uplifting atmosphere. Looking forward to coming here again.
Erica Fischer
A great addition to the Lincoln Square food scene! The food has interesting flavor combinations and makes the menu very unique. The artichokes are amazing! Love the small plates and how everything is meant to share. Great wine and cocktail list! Go early, even on a Monday the bar was packed!
Brett F
Chill spot with beautiful space, great food and refreshing drinks. Hip but not pretentious.
Katie Stadius
One of our special places in the city. Some of the best flatbread and pasta out there. Amazing patio - ready for fall as well. 10/10 would recommend the cauliflower and gnocchi.
Shaina Daniels
Everything I ate here was amazing. We had a watermelon salad, and carne asada flat bread, multiple pastas, salmon, and many cocktails. Finished the night with the peanut butter brownie. Every single thing was delicious and prepared with quality ingredients. I will definitely be coming back.
Denisse Veron
The second I walked into The Wabler I already knew it was going to be an enjoyable night. From the beautiful decor to the friendly host I felt welcome. Food and cocktails were delicious. Very nice place! 100% recommend. :)
Tony Zee
Great place but food is a little too inconsistent. Great cocktails! Pasta bite is a little off on all of our four visits and too generous with the salt on multiple courses. Desserts are not as sophisticated as the remainder of the menu.
Levin Latimer
As you can see I have been here many times mostly for their early bird supper club dinner for only $25. Their family-style supper club is available 4:30-6:00pm Monday-Friday. Our table can choose a selection of five dishes from their regular dinner offering including one salad, any two appetizers, vegetable dishes or house made pastas and their favorite flatbread. Their menu is friendly enough for children, but elevated so that the adults will truly enjoy it too. Kids nine and under are complimentary! We had a 5:30pm dinner reservation. The four of us had a nice center table. I started with my usual purple martin for $11. We always enjoy our shared our arugula salad with whipped ricotta, pickled fennel, marinated olives, lemon vinaigrette, roasted walnuts and herbed croutons. We also always enjoy their Korean style chicken wings with tamari glaze and sesame seeds. We also enjoyed our English pea risotto with mascarpone, spring garlic and parmesan crisp. I also enjoyed my second purple martin and my robin also for $11. Our food only cost $100, but the rest were our cocktails and wine. My total bill less gratuities was $246. Our server Brittnay accommodated our table nicely. We will continue to return here for their early bird dinner and try to drink less.
Courtney Laird
The meal I had here was one of the top 3 I've had in my life. I am still dreaming about the chicken sausage flatbread pizza I had here two weeks ago. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend the kale salad, the warbler cauliflower and any of the flatbreads

okay so I am here right now.... resturaunt just opened back up due to covid. what I do not understand is how they can allow people whom are late to there reservations show up late and take them to their seats above people whose are early and are time... they made us stand outside on the cold for 15 mins and allowed another couple whom was 30 mins late to their reservation come right in and be seated prior to us whom were on time!! the really short brown hair woman in the front was extremely rude about it. okay I was early to my reservation.... I am also a paying customer supported your business
our server is so far so good and super attending get the sausage flat bread and rose bill
ps. the woman from the front erin did come and apologise to us which was very considerate. tha k you for taking the time to address any issues that we had as for standing in the cold and feeling like seconds. -review amended.
Chrissy Tina
The cocktails were excellent. Very creative and unique. The had excellent vegetarian options for both meals and starters. I had the autumn flatbread which was bursting with flavors.
George Parker
Really good food, experience and ambiance was good as well. Menu seems a bit light a few more options wouldn't hurt but everything I had was tasty so no complaints
Curtis Achterhof
LOVE this place. One of our go to special occasion places. Though now we just make up special occasions to go. Chicken sausage and carne asada flatbreads are two of the best things we have ever eaten. Always changing veggie sides give those a run for their money though. Service is always perfection. Would live here if that was an option.
Kaytlin Bush
My husband and I come here every time we have something big to celebrate! It’s easily my favorite place on Lincoln. Between the food, the cocktails, the wait staff, and the ambiance, this place is where it’s at. And for a couple in their 20’s, it’s a decent price for a fancy dinner. 👏🏼 …
T. Duncan Parker
Awesome food. Awesome service. Will go again
Randy Zimmerman
Dinner tonight was a pleasure though noise level in front seating area was unfortunately excessive. Very helpful wait staff helped us move to a table in back room where noise level was more appropriate. Our foursome shared 2 appetizers, 3 sides, 2 flatbreads, 2 entrees and 2 deserts among the group and all dishes were excellent. Not a klinker in the group. Would recommend but ask for seating in rear area.
Ann Clark
Everything was different and delicious, from cocktails to dessert.
Raquel Ruelas
Been here twice. Once for drinks, once for supper club. I will definitely be returning. Everything is delicious and atmosphere is great.
D B
Such a great spot. Food and service are always spot on and exceed expectations. Consistent in every way and always a pleasure to dine at!
Brad A
Delicious, can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Food can be a little heavy tho so be sure to add in a lighter item.
Megan Mahon
This place is sooooo good. The cocktails are great, and the service is wonderful. We came during Friday night dinner rush thinking we had a reservation but I accidentally made it for Sunday, but the host helped us find a spot at the bar as soon as one opened and we had such a great meal there. You won’t regret picking this spot for dinner
Ethan Morgan
Just opened and have to say that I love it. Have been a fan of Gather for a long time and was very excited to see they took over this spot. The cocktails were spot on and the food lived up to Gather's reputation. Even better, the food is different enough that we have good reason to go to both places and not feel like they are competing with one another. Definitely a welcome addition to Lincoln Square!
Greg Burton
Solid cooking served up by friendly, knowledgeable, professional servers. Two of us had a cocktail each, a bottle of wine, and five courses for $150. A great value for the quality of the product and the service.
Alexandra Juarez
Delicious seasonal food. Cheap for the portion size and quality you get. Definitely a great option for a casual dinner with friends or date night.
Karolis Kabirovas
I wasn't a fan the first time around, but they have come a long way since opening. Great food and atmosphere. If you are just looking for a cocktail and a chat at the bar, definitely the place for that. Grab a small plate while you are sipping, you will not be disappointed.
Zachary Spencer
One of the best meals I've ever had. Patio was awesome and very warm. Very versatile menu and amazing staff. Hope to get back here often to try more of their amazing food.
Sean Scott
Cocktails, califlower, bacon and egg flat bread, banana and vanilla ice cream were amazing. I was not impressed by the muscles or salmon. Overall I highly recommend this place. Looking forward to go back and try more of the food on the menu.
Dani Poplin
Great chill spot. Personable bartenders, beautiful space, no TVs. The cocktail list is varied and all the drinks are delicious. Pasta is made in house and super tasty.
Jon Foster
Really good! Everything we had was good both food and cocktails. Looking forward to coming back and also checking out Gather
Gina Ness
Awesome outdoor patio! Great variety of cuisine, delicious cocktails and wine selections, and great staff!
Daniel Wolf
Their staff were accomodating; the bird themed cocktails are real. The small plates are on point. We had a dish that included bread; we ran out but our server replenished the bread free of charge. This place makes me warble with joy!
Nataly
The butternut squash beignets are everything! Definitely a menu item that boasts the chefs innovative style. The craft cocktails are complex in their flavors and I would definitely come back to try another soon. Nothing memorable with the flatbread and pasta, although tasty as well. As part Lincoln Square's young family prone neighborhood, they offer a great special from from 4-6, but also offers an equally intimate atmosphere if you arrive for a later dinner.
Jason Tedjasukmana
Outdoor area is perfect in summer if you are craving a flatbread pizza or burger...
James Willcox
Great food, drinks and atmosphere! Definitely try the crispy cauliflower! Even if you typically don't like cauliflower... Trust me.
LaBelle Dujour
The is such a gem in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. Excellent food, try the short ribs or the cacio pepe. Their small bites are so good it pains me to share especially the cauliflower. Those delicious desserts are so good, both the carrot cake and the skillet cookie make me want to cry and I'm really not that big of a sweet tooth.
Patrick Braga-Henebry
Had the bucatini, which was fantastic. Want to go back and have all of their pastas after that.
The carrots were amazing, the broccoli as well but not as transcendent as the carrots
The cocktails were superb.
The peanut butter brownie dessert was as well.
Hillary Vazquez
Get the Purple Martin cocktail! It’s so delicious. Favorite foods include the flatbreads (all of them) and the skillet cookie!
Danielle Angie
First off Chelsea,
Only giving a review because she was amazing!!!! I’ve been in the industry for 20 years... she knocked it out of the park. Made our evening as special as we could have ever asked for. So thank you Chelsea. Also, the food... exceptional. But, once again... Chelsea!!!!
Eleanor Love
My reservation was for an indoor table, but Resy and the restaurant are not in sync. The restaurant refused to let me and my guest sit indoors. I was told we had to sit outdoors or sit on a barstool in the window.
nancy anderson
Food: delicious and well presented. Service: excellent, friendly, professional. Decor: modern, cozy, tastefully funky. Atmosphere: uhhh, this is where it falters -- packed on a Wednesday evening with various groups of loud, obnoxious hipsters conversing at max volume.
Carol Cachey
Superb on all accounts! You must try the cauliflower appetizer (even if you, like I, do not care for cauliflower). The carrot cake is not overrated! I usually don’t repeat restaurants because I’ll never get to them all but I’ve been twice to The Warbler and would return
Marina Chulkina
Very nice cuisine. I enjoyed visiting this place
Andrea Clerk
Great pricing for NYE meal. Wonderful flexibility for this treenut allergy diner so thanks to the chef for that! Sincere and friendly service. Fantastic range of Pappy Van Winkle!
Casey Hoogstraten
Good almost great food, some portions are large to normal, some smaller than expected, very friendly service, minus 1 star for the deafening noise level which means shouting at your tablemates. Put some acoustic panels on those hard ceilings please!
Renata Pizzarello
Chef Ken is absolutely brilliant! Sauces, vegetable blends and OMG that homemade pasta is divine! The potato app, the flatbread breakfast pizza, the salads and the pasta dishes and of course the burger are on point! Can’t forget the desserts, don’t sleep on that carrot cake with pecan brittle ice cream and of course the birdie drinks are very clever!
Charlie Scheid
13/10 Atmosphere and flavor. Proportions are perfectly sized. The service is top notch and put everything over the top during our experience. Will be returning soon, especially during patio szn.
Randall Moderhack
If you like Gather, you will love The Warbler. It has the same kind of thoughtfully prepared, and delicious food, only there are more options to choose from at this larger location. The bar does not disappoint either with a great selection of wine, craft beers, and unique cocktails.
Katie Chapman
Always amazing vegetables. In fact, I've been here at least 3 times and have never had anything not delicious. Wine is also always on point. Highly recommend!
Emily Kupec Wallner
Came here with my husband and some friends and had a fantastic time. The food was excellent, the staff was prompt and helpful, and the atmosphere was cozy. Anything I can say about the food won't do it justice...try it yourself!
Loren Johnson
I just had one of the best meals of my life at The Warbler. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, the food was glorious, and the atmosphere was comfortable but hip. Five stars, every time.
Skip Landt
The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that I HATE to rate anything that highly. Well, and -- OK -- a GOOD reaso, even for a half-step down would be the awful high noise level. (That;s also the reason we don't partronize their other restaurant down the block, Gather). But our meal there this weekend with friends was extraordinary. First, the food was excellent. The mussels I had were as large and plump as any I've had, the dipping toast provided was generous, the excellent broth had everyone at the table dipping in. The dessert the four of us shared -- a (fried?) chocolate chip cookie in a frying pan with vanilla bean icecream was the best dessert I've had in years (chewy at the edges!) And the service was the best ever -- including once at a restaurant oveseas when a waiter stood nearby watching us and swooped in at my slightest need (That was a bit unnerving). At the Warbler we were greeted by a warm, personalble greeter, and served by two people, both of whom could help when we placed an order and (I think) helped in serving the food. The noice is a serious problem -- it's a roar!. This is odd, as they describe the restaurant as one for socializing. (and we were placed in a corner: usually the best location for hearing each other). Gather is quieter -- fewer people, more upscale dining. But also bare floors, and lots of voice spillover during our one visit. As for the Warbler, we'll look forward to outside dining!
(I may do a more extensive food review the next time I visit).
Benjamim Cannon
Excellent atmosphere, amazing food. Always nice to see a full bar with great bar tenders, drinks were on point!
S T
The service and setting was great. The food was good but could've been slightly better.
Mike Niznikiewicz
Amazing vibe, delicious burger, great beer selection, and fantastic service. What more could you want?? There's often a wait but the bar area is first come first serve and you can order from the full menu. Doooo it.
DANIEL GOODWIN
Met two friends here on a Thursday after work for a couple of drinks each and a couple of shared plates. The cocktails - were preeeetty good, not spectacular, just 11 bucks but very small and 2/3rd full ‘tastings’ - 5 Star on a gin based drink with whipped egg whites and rosemary called ‘birds nest’, which we hadn’t actually ordered - we’d ordered a ‘rose finch’ and a ‘song bird’. The food items were VERY good, in particular a ponzu glazed cauliflower. I could not return to this place without getting that cauliflower again. Atmosphere was effortfully trendy with nondescript loungey dancy music playing. Water glasses filled by these silly two foot long chrome cylinder flasks at the table which was liiiil cheesy, and VERY noisy and hard to converse inside. Service interrupted mid sentence every time and definitely seemed to be trying to sell. But we’d definitely go back.
Chase Robers
I love this place. Local favorite of mine. Rotating menu, great service, fun atmosphere. Classy without being stuffy. I always love coming here. Try the cheeseburger - it's award winning for a reason!
Darwin Garay
Very good food and service everybody was very nice, drinks were great very tasty and refreshing would recommend as a small date night place. Nachos and flatbreads are very tasty
Annie Carr
impressive interior design, very cool and fresh. Fantastic outdoor sitting arrangement. Food was good, atmosphere was even better, staff was very attentive and kind. I had a good experience. looking forward to another time.
Brady Luby
Inviting, cozy space, friendly and knowledgable staff. Had the delicious fried cauliflower with yuzu sauce, SO good, and Korean wings that hit the spot, perfectly fried and seasoned and very tender.
Trevor
The brandade was delicious, granted I had no basis for comparison. The water pitchers were contemporary and asthetically pleasing, albeit an inefficient design. Undercover waiters will have you wondering why a random person is approaching your table.
Nancy Henley
Atmosphere was cozy and chic. Good for couples or friends. Tried a little bit of everything. The burger was savory and juicy. The brocolli was more like a salad- fresh and citrusy. Mac and cheese... Toasted crunch on top and velvety rich decadent pasta enveloped in a cheese masterpiece. The mushroom flat bread... exploding w truffle flavor and blanketed in pillows of provolone cheese with woodsy, meaty mushrooms. Lastly, the pork belly nachos. Perfect amount crispy crunch chips - not greasy- bursting w bacony flavor and melt in your mouth pork belly.
Stefanie Wright
Great food, mushroom pasta and the brandade appetizer were standouts for me. Outstanding service and the decor is fabulous!
Howard Clauser
Wow! We loved every dish we ordered. And the servers were naturally upbeat & friendly. We're going back
Paige Ulrich
This cocktail menu & food menu is insane. Stephanie was our server she is insanely hot! 100/10. Definitely go here!
Deb R
Delicious food great service. Open patio for lunch or dinner
Michael L
Normally love this place but last night's meal was SALTY. Chef really needs to dial the sodium back (wings, Mac n cheese).
Aron Bloch
Our group was seated immediately. Great ambiance with a beautiful dining setting plus well presented and delicious food!
Thomas The gAzelle
Ok, lets see here where do I start! Ehem! Big shout out to yelper, Salena for sharing a picture and recommendation of the cookie skillet because I just had to have it. It took me a few days to finally make it out due to work schedule, and this place being open in the evenings, but once I had the day off work best believe I made it out, and made it very early. I waited 30 minutes for this place to open, and it was well worth it. It felt weird being the first customer to walk in the door, but I tried to blank that uncomfortable feeling out, plus I came alone.
Long story short, I ordered the cookie skillet, and dined in, but ordered the flatbread chicken sausage to go. I said "tha hell" with a workout because I knew after eating that cookie skillet it wasn't going to happen, plus ordering the flatbread chicken sausage didn't do any justice as well. In these situations, I live by the code of "YOLO" (You Only Live Once), so why not! A workout can wait, after I indulge to the finer things in life such as food, hehe.
Anyway! Service was great; food was great, and yes, I plan to return yada yada yada because there are other desserts on the menu that I would love to try, plus the baked mussels, and mac n cheese looked really good. I definitely recommend!
Enjoy!
Jacob Shavlik
Very impressed by everything. The attention to detail was phenomenal and the food lived up to the bar set by the atmosphere. We'll definitely be back more than a few times.
Kelly Renee
Great food, delicious mocktail options for those who don't drink, a really nice patio, and friendly, awesome staff! Can't ask for more!
Dominic Michael

Pete Prestipino
Well designed and warm space, friendly and attentive staff and excelllent food (although portion sizes were a little small for my liking). Excellent experience overall however; we will return for sure!
t B
The braised pork shoulder was wonderful great birthday dinner
William Buchman (Bill)
So glad to have a high-end dining experience after months of shutdown. I will remind everyone not to spoil it. Please keep social distance, keep your voice down, and cover your face when your servers approach!
scott powell
The food was great, but the best part about eating here was the pacing of the service. Very well timed. Well done Warbler staff.
Kyle Williams
That butternut risotto was the best I've ever had. The pasta (also had cacio e pepe, just like in Italy) was fantastic. The place just opened and I know we'll be back.
Paul Guerino
I think I have a new favorite restaurant in Chicago. Every. Single. Thing. we ordered was delicious, from the mussels to what was quite possibly the best cheeseburger I've ever had.
David Kaplan
Perfection. Beautiful room. Balanced menu with a wide variety of comfort food, proteins, vegetables - all creative, yet approachable. Pricing is very reasonable. Enjoy.
Darin Fentress
Friendly and thoughtful staff, delicious food, and well-crafted cocktails. One of my go-to spots in Lincoln Square, highly recommend!

Gabriel Aviles
visiting from bkln NY and the food plus staff were amazing!
Christina Huynh
Everything we tried was delicious! Especially liked the whole wheat pasta dish, the Italian sausage and menchego flatbread, and the pork nachos. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
John S
We had the lunch menu. The highlight were cocktails that are slight deviations on classics but with great success. My personal favorite was the Robin which is a smokey mezcal version of the margarita. The falafel is also quite good. The roasted carrots appetizer was good and the mushroom soup was excellent. I have fairly high standards for a Cubano so i wasn't surprised when it was only ok. Service was very good. Outdoor seating was well ventilated. Pandemic protocols were well adhered to. Definitely looking forward to going back.
Ellen Gengo
Food was fresh and delicious. Service was exceptional and restaurant was comfortable and welcoming. I will be back, especially for the homemade pasta yum!
Ken Ovryn
OK, but too busy and too pricey. Waited 15 minutes even though half the restaurant was empty. Small portions at high prices. Tasty mushroom soup. Music is too loud to have a conversation.
pot a ter soup
Great food perfect acceptance they don’t Vax check like the Gentrifiers want to keep us suppressed! Love it
Dave Locke
The crispy cauliflower was unreal. Also ordered a Carne Asada flatbread that I devoured in the sitting. The vibe is great and cocktails refreshing!
Jordan Evans
Just had a great meal there. Brandade, wings, agnolotti and bacon/ramp flatbread were all fantastic. Looking forward to my next visit already.
Steve Black
Exceptional service and the food here is great. Love this place. Very family friendly to boot!
Lucas Brandt
The cocktails are seriously great. The barbacoa pizza is fantastic too!
Bethany Collins
Great cocktails and food is good. Entree sizes are inconsistent so you might have way too much food, or leave hungry, depending on what you order.
Minal Varma
Excellent food ! Recommended for cocktails too!
Dave Johnson
Pork loin was good but that mushroom soup was amazing! I had to have two bowls.
Cassie Niespodziewanski
