Curfew - Chicago

Spectacular experience in this new neighborhood gem. The Server noted that she actually saw Fabio once or twice…briefly, but your involved with 50 restaurants, what would you expect. The menu is Fabio & Fabulous. We only hit a few courses, but it’s crawling distance. I’ll be back very soon. Scotch Egg, smoked Tartare, cod, lemon grits & mushroom. Some sweets. Fabulous

Overall great service, hospitality and location. Scotch egg and mushroom pizza were definitely the top picks. Looking forward to seeing how the menu continues to evolve. Thank you Chef Viviani for stopping by to welcome us to Curfew.

My wife, our daughter, and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here on 12/22/22. Great, new restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We started the meal by sharing a serving of the Macaroni & Cheese. It was excellent, especially on a cold night. For our entrees my wife had the Pasta Neri Frutti de Mare while my daughter and I had the Butcher-cut steak skewers. All were served in a timely manner, hot, and with a nice presentation. The steak skewers were cooked medium-rare and medium as requested. It was very flavorful and just excellent! Our waiter, Sam, was friendly and attentive. Both my wife and daughter enjoyed cocktails before dinner and a latte & an espresso after dinner. They both choose the chocolate mousse while I had the Blanca cake for dessert. It was a great meal!

Wow what a great experience. The staff complimented the great food. Will definitely comeback and is a must try in the downtown area.

Came here for lunch. Asked the steak skewer to be medium but it came nearly well-done. Vegetables in the plate were great (I asked for some extra)

Excellent and friendly service, delicious food and a beautiful setting, what more could you ask for? Definitely check this place out. Picture is of the tomato and burrata pizza. So good!

Great menu off Michigan Ave. Wings, Beet salad, Octopus and Cod.

Everything that we ordered was beyond delicious! For cocktails, I had the Dr.Glen and it was very good, not too sweet and a little tangy--would definitely recommend. The ambiance of the restaurant was intimate and cozy! By far, what stuck out to us the most was how incredible the staff and service were. All of their recommendations were delicious, and they were very attentive & friendly. 10/10 experience!

#ShockedandDisappointed So...You're probably wondering why I am giving this beautiful place a TWO STAR?! Well...let's have at it. First and foremost, the restaurant is aesthetically beautiful inside/out...so this alone set the tone and expectations. BUT... The moment I took a look at the menu, I noticed there wasn't a theme with the menu. Understanding the cuisine was very difficult for me. I asked our waitress for suggestions and she made a few suggestions. My bestie and I selected macaroni & cheese, Chili Chicken wings and Lemon Cod. Needless to say, the food came out and the presentation was beautifully amazing but the taste was horrible. The food was very bland and every single dish tasted as if it was frozen and reheated. The best thing on the table was the water.

This was unexpectedly a lovely dining experience. It was on my list and I brought a coworker from out of town for dinner. It was 70 degrees in a November night so obviously we sat outside. Our waiter victor was truly a gem. Super hospitable and recommended great options for us. I went with the ceviche and my coworker hard the tomato pizza. My drink was the refrescante and she had the fly high. Both great options. The ceviche does not come with chips or anything but Victor hooked me up. For dessert, he recommended the chocolate mousse and pistachio ice cream. It was a great balance since the mousse was super decadent. We finished the nights with lemon drop shots. Overall a great time will definitely return.

We enjoyed our meal at this new restaurant in downtown Chicago. It is attached to the old hotel St. Clair. Love the decor inside, and they have outside seating as well. My husband enjoyed his pizza. It had a thin crust and the burrata was creamy. He commented his pizza was "excellent!" I had the cod over grits with a lemon sauce that was very flavorful. There were Brussels sprouts and mushrooms in the dish as well. So good! The chocolate mousse dessert was rich and decadent. Can't forget to mention that the service was great! Not a lot of seating. Would recommend getting a reservation before going. We got in there in the nick of time and we were seated right away. After that all the tables were full. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Curfew is a lovely space for an extended, boozier than you anticipated late Saturday lunch. Kelly and I were enjoying a staycation down the street, and while looking for a lunch spot we spied Curfew and decided to pop in after reviewing the menu online. We were so glad we did! The space is delightfully lit to complement the modernist but cozy bistro feel, and the four tops have buttery leather chairs that beg you to linger. Its perfect for losing a couple hours to good food and drink. We started off with some cocktails, then ordered a bottle of Chablis and some food - the octopus and roasted cod. We supplemented our lunch with a scotch egg before finishing off with another round of cocktails and the chocolate mousse. I cannot recommend this course of action highly enough. The cocktails are extremely well made and have a lot of balance. I started with the Streeterville, which was a perfectly balanced riff on a Black Manhattan, and Kelly had the Magnificent, a well balanced rum drink where the tartness is leavened with sweet notes. For dessert, Kelly had the Giallo which is a classic Last Word with the addition of chocolate, which surprisingly works - it really held the drink together. I wanted the Michigan Avenue Favorite but they were out an ingredient so I just went with Wild Turkey 101 on the rocks. Noble bourbon boozers will appreciate the fallback - sometimes you just gotta power on through! The octopus was perfectly grilled, and tender without a hint of chewiness. The cod was melt in your mouth good, meaty and flaky. The boar sausage in the scotch egg was earthy and spiked with a bit of spice, possibly fennel. The crust on the scotch egg was a little crunchier than I liked but it was easily discarded. Finally, the mousse was divine, silky smooth and topped with whipped cream. I could have eaten one myself. The dinner menu is pretty much the same as the lunch menu. If you are living in or visiting Streeterville, this is a high quality hotel restaurant that you should put on your itinerary.

Finally checked this out for dinner on a weeknight and I was VERY pleasantly surprised just how good it was! The service was good, he was very attentive and friendly! For drinks, I had the espresso martini [I'm on a kick...] and it was great - I can't recall which cocktails my friends got, but we tried them all and enjoyed them all [so you probably won't go wrong]. + Woodland Mushrooms Pizza: This was REALLY good! The crust part was crisp and tasty and the toppings were perfect. + Black Arancini: Also very good - the romesco sauce was the perfect addition to the arancini balls! + Heirloom Tomato & Aged Cheddar: Glad we got this to add freshness to the meal! + Black Sesame Hummus: The hummus didn't taste any different to us than regular hummus, but the color was black. That being said, it was really good and the pita and veggies that came on the plate were actually good. + Deluxe Fries [no pepperoni]: Honestly, would skip this. I was excited about the giardinara on top but I think the frying took away from the wonderful flavor that giardinara usually has! Overall - great experience! Glad they're so close to work and can't wait until they establish their happy hour!!

Delicious cocktails and pretty plating made this meal a delight. This is also a close jaunt to the MCA and reasonably priced for a classy atmosphere and stellar service. Points for the fresh brewed espresso. It was the perfect note to end on.

Visited on 9/9/22. Visited Curfew on a Friday around lunchtime. There was a lot of noise going on outside due to construction across the street so we did not sit outside at this time, but the people working were eager and friendly in seating a larger group (7 people) without any wait or trouble. Started with the espresso martini, which was really pretty to look at with and was the mid-day kick I needed. Wasn't the best one I've ever had but was a decent espresso martini. Also ordered the Mediterranean chicken pita. While the chicken on this was delicious and well cooked, this definitely was harder to eat, especially with the chicken coming on a long skewer. It was slightly tough to put together due to the amount of things on the plate. Regardless, was a solid visit which we enjoyed.

My first time in Chicago so heavily relying on yelp to help find the best locations to go to. I was looking for a great lunch spot, and Curfew Chicago came up. It doesn't have a ton of reviews so I was a little suspicious. I decided to look at the menu and it looked good enough. I was quickly seated at a table. Anthony was my server. He was really great and gave me good, honest recommendations. I ordered a sparkling lemonade which was nice and light with my food. I ordered the Moroccan wings and the mushroom pizza. Both were really good but what truly stood out was the pizza. It was literally the best pizza I've ever had. I don't usually get a to go box bc I never end up eating the food, but this was so different. I packed it up so my husband could try it. That's how good it was. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend you try the pizza. Service, food, time it took food to come out was A++.

We came in for lunch and were seated promptly. The dining area has very classy atmosphere with attentive service. We didn't order any cocktails, but they sounded and looked very appealing. We ordered the scotch egg to start, the egg was perfectly runny and the boar sausage was very flavorful. All of our entrees were nicely presented and delicious. Of note, the Beef Tartare was beautifully prepared and tasted fresh. We do wish that the Moroccan Chicken sandwich had more acid to offset the dryness. Overall, we had a great experience and definitely recommend checking Curfew out!

Great spot! Came here for lunch and my friend and I shared the cod over lemon grits and chicken pita with fries. Both were great and plentiful. And I thought the price point was fair. The service was really nice too. We got a seat by the window and it was a nice intimate feel where my friend and I felt like we could have a conversation without getting drowned out by music and other peoples conversation. Looking forward to coming back and trying drinks sometime!

Great decor, slow for late lunch. Everything was cooked perfectly, notes on taste: Grilled cheese was tasty but lamb flavor was muted. Magnificent cocktail lived up to it's name, would've ordered more if they were a few dollars less. Wings were okay, tasted similar to buffalo sauce though. My husband enjoyed his IPA. Good service from Daisy.

Great place, great atmosphere. Food was amazing. The table service was easy. Craft cocktails were very good, there were two that were top quality. That I would say get. One was a scotch blended cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised. If and when I go again I would get the steak tartare and sit at the bar. Overall great place

This is a new restaurant in Streeterville inside hotel Saint Clair and headlined by Top Chef fan favorite winner Fabio Viviani. The service was incredibly friendly and we were warmly welcomed at the door. There were several vegetarian items on the menu and the restaurant was even able to customize some of the menu items to our preference. Our group split the tomato & burrata, macaroni & cheese, and the roasted beets. All of the dishes we ordered were creative and extravagant! Our whole group LOVED the macaroni & cheese. If you're in Streeterville, this is definitely a place to check out

The menu here is a little confusing. Unsure what the vision is. Mixture of American bar food, ?Italian, ?Morocco, ?Spanish, ?Indian, with a lot of lamb dishes. Flavors were safe. Wish they were bolder. But not a bad place to stop by. Would recommend the arancini. Beef skewers were okay but lacked rememberable flavors. The roman pizzas looked good from afar. Service was good! Wilson was really kind, helpful, and patient. Because the service is good, I'd consider stopping by again maybe for lunch or a nonfussy dinner.

Incredible secret jewel that I went back again the next night filled with amazing people making your experience meaningful

Very aesthetically pleasing inside with lots of greenery. Was visiting Chicago and looking for appetizers, this place was the spot. The hummus was amazing, made from garbanzo beans and served with delicious fresh veggies. Lamb pizza was a little spicy but very flavorful. Great place to order a few apps to share with friends.

Ahh! This used to be Coco Pazzo remember that? This is by one of the Partner's and Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani. This place is upscale and this is A.I.S. (American, Italian & Spanish) cuisine. Had Deluxe Fries w/o the Pepperoni and the Oaxacan Old Fashioned. I expected the cocktail to have that kick but it's well balanced. Staff and service is superb.

Great atmosphere. Great service. Delicious food and drinks. The scotch egg was perfect.

What an amazing place! I am just surprised that it was not busier. Maybe people haven't found this hidden gem yet. I ordered steak on a skewer for lunch, the meat was better than the 100$ dollar steak I eat the night before and the chimichuri along with it had flavors that were out of this world. I plan to have lunch there daily while I am at this conference.

Now this is a restaurant I'll be coming back too. The setting is awesome. You've got giant TVs by the bar, and the back area is quiet and romantic. The menu is filled with nice meals under $30. Two drinks and two meals shouldn't cost you more than $150 dollars. Our waitress was amazing. She was very attentive and did everything with a smile. The drinks were good as well. Like I said earlier, I'll definitely be coming back...

Sami really makes you feel welcome, and the rest of the staff are super friendly!!! If you want some delicious food and a place to chill with friends, this is the PERFECT place!

Wow! This place is so delicious! We had a great time visiting this restaurant coming all the way from Miami. The service was absolutely amazing. Nicole, our server, was very warming and informative. She knew how to accommodate our children too! The drinks were on point as well! Highly recommend!

Needed a quick, late lunch in the area and stumbled upon Curfew. Really nice, focused selection of salads, apps, sandwiches, pizza and entrees that hit the spot. Three of us split two of the "Roman style" pizzas and the mixed green salad. Everything was delish and the ambience was casual, quiet, relaxing and civilized. Staff was great too.

Only open for 2 weeks. Sat at bar and it took 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Food did come out fast but just okay (pizza and chicken pita). Bartenders were friendly but could of been more attentive.

Went here on a whim walking by on a beautiful Saturday. Wow! Great service and excellent food. Had the octopus; light the roasted potatoes were great. Nice beverage selection. We will be back!

Amazing cocktails! I love Trompo ( with mezcal) and food. Great service and ambiance. Great new addition to Streeterville

The Roman style pizzas were excellent. The octopus was tender and seasoned perfectly. Beautiful space and friendly service.

Went there for drinks after work. It was great atmosphere with great food options for everyone. Wait staff was very attentive. Mushroom pizza is a must try! Will definitely be back.

Has only been open for two months, after trolling their IG page o decided to try them out. Had the steak skewers with the mac n cheese as a side. The food was prepared to perfection and tasted great. I sat at the bar and chatted with Rebecca (very personable and made some fire drinks).

Stopped in for dessert and a night cap with my daughter. Place was packed but the host told us the bar was open and we could order food at the bar. Perfect! Sat at the bar and started to order a drink. The bartender asked for my daughters ID. I assured him she wasn't drinking. He informed me that you have to be 21. To sit at bar - who knew!?! We'd been sitting at bars all weekend and he was the first to inform us it was against the law. NO worries though. He was super nice about it as was the manager(?) I wasn't at all mad that was doing his job. The host said 30 minutes for a table but the manager quickly sat us within minutes. Fernando the bartender was absolutely so kind about the mix up and apologized. The. He proceeded to make me the BEST espresso martini I've had in ages!!! Our waiter was efficient and got us taken care of right away. (I never got his name). The manager stopped to check on us and everything was great. We ordered a couple dessert and I enjoyed my cocktail. Menu looked interesting and the food around us all looked amazing. Just wanted to share my experience. I truly appreciate how kind everyone. I certainly didn't have a clue you had to be 21 and it wasn't necessary for the staff to go out of their way to be so nice about it.

I've been here a few times and the food and service have been outstanding every time. The octopus, smoked steak tartare, steak burger and braised lamb grilled cheese are all top notch. Highly recommend this new addition in Streeterville. Shout out to Sami Halime the AGM, always courteous and professional!

This is a new restaurant in Streeterville. The food was good but nothing special. We ordered the skewers, dumplings, ceviche, and arancini. The arancini was my favorite dish and had a delicious tomato based sauce. The dumplings were more like trader joe's gnocchi elevated with brussel sprouts so I wouldn't order that again. The ceviche looks like a poke bowl but is actually just watermelon and shrimp. I was very salty so we had to send it back to the kitchen. The dish was decorated with a sprinkle of tiny white rice balls. The skewers felt healthier and had a wide assortment of vegetables and mushrooms. I'm giving the restaurant 5 stars because of the stellar service. My server Wilson really cared that I enjoyed my experience. I plan to come back to try the other menu items.
