Eaves

Not a good place for pre-performance meals. Will not return. Heavily recommend going ANYWHERE else. Here’s why: We came to have lunch at 12 PM before a 1 PM matinee. 1) The amazingly rude hostess left us all standing on the sidewalk until 12:02 PM in 20° F weather. 20 degrees folks - many of us with children under 10. Instead of allowing us inside and simply saying she couldn’t see us yet she just stared at us from inside the door. 2) Timing / Rushing. When she finally did unlock the door, late, I might add, she sat everybody as slowly as human possible. By the time we were seated, it was 12:15. 3) Food. Meh. Lunch options were much more limited than what I saw online. The food was adequate, but not particularly interesting. 4) Non-alcoholic drinks =nada. I asked for an orange juice for my niece, and was told there was only enough orange juice to make mimosas. Hah. The only good part of the experience was my waiter who was rushing because all ofus were in for the show.

What a great place to get away from it all. The atmosphere and mood is inviting and the food was amazing. My husband and members of the family drove in from Detroit and had a chance to experience food in a way that made you feel the flavors when tasting the food. I myself it reminded me of a movie where you could taste the passion that was put into creating this menu. I highly recommend Eaves Chicago and while you are there reach out to Executive Chef Amanda. You will be amazed when talking to her and understand what it took to create the menu that compliments the opera house and its history.

Eaves delivers a dining experience unlike any other—where extraordinary cuisine and impeccable service come together to delight your senses. Each dish, crafted with artistry and passion by Chef Amanda McLemore, is more than a meal; it’s a story on a plate. Our server went above and beyond, taking the time to share the inspiration and culinary vision behind every creation, allowing us to savor not only the flavors but also the journey that brought them to life. The combination of creativity, care, and warmth made the evening truly unforgettable. Can't wait to visit again. Until then, I'm spreading the word. Thank you Chef Amanda and Eaves staff.

SO CONVENIENT for intermission during opera shows! In the same building of the Lyric--We pre-ordered and when arrived, our table was ready with the drinks and food already set! We were in and out of there in 10 mins. They also provide to-go cups so you can bring your drink back to the show. Wish I ordered two of the waygu hotdogs instead of 1! The black cocoa cake was very good--not too sweet. Shocked the place wasn't packed because their food and drink is definitely better than the concessions.

Beautiful place but not good food and people. They don't have a real kitchen or ovens, just warmers. Don't even warm there bread. It's cold and hard. Kind of like the hospitality you can expect from. This establishment.

I made a reservation for three (3) for after the opera matinee. I confirmed it twice, once in person. When we arrived, they couldn’t find the reservation, the man at the door was rude suggesting that I was lying. They showed three (3) of us to a tiny, round table where we couldn’t possibly have dinner. He even suggested that we go somewhere else!!! We went across the street to 1North and had a lovely dinner and were treated like good customers. Eave is a HUGE BUST and doesn’t deserve to be in business. TERRIBLE!!!!

Came here for dinner on a Monday night. It was quiet and quaint. The food was tasty and the service was kind and attentive. We shared: - peach summer salad - Wagyu skewer - pea rigatoni - lemon ricotta cookie All were delightful. The pasta was cooked al dente. The peach salad was light and sweet. The cookie was decadent and light at the same time!

Good food, lots of vegetarian options.

Stopped in for dessert. We ordered 2 sundaes for 3 people. Big mistake. They were soo soo tiny and expensive. It was insulting. Each sundae was a very small single scoop, some whipped cream and a cherry.

I just got served a pile of cat food. We ordered the tuna appetizer and it was canned tuna decorated with a few flower petals and a sprinkle of herbs. It literally looked like a pile of cat food. Cocktails were good though

Bad Food; Bad Service. Sunday Opera Lunch. Ordered Prime Rib Sandwich, NO giardinare. Plate presented with sliced beef, NO cheese, but WITH giadinare. Waiter removed plate as requested. However, the same plate AND sandwich was returned--minus the giadinare. The spices permeated the entire sandwich. No apology offered for the kitchen or wait-staff deception. Bill was deleted -- my experience was not.

Their website, yelp, and when I called said they're open and I'm standing in front of a closed Eaves. That's annoying.

Work in the building, have been for lunch twice so far. First time, I had the hummus appetizer and the bruschetta salad - would not recommend the bruschetta, way too acidic and way too many tomatoes for the amount of the other ingredients. Second time, I had the italian beef sandwich, which was decent, though the bread seemed a bit stale or dry to me. Overall, beautiful ambiance, great location (for me) and very nice staff. If they can get their lunch menu sorted out, maybe with some real entree salads, or by adding some of the pasta and meat dishes available in the evening, I'd be more likely to keep coming back.
