Lost Reef, a New Cocktail Bar, Is Coming Soon to Lakeview | Eater Chicago
"Johnston also opened Electric Garden last year in the West Loop; I note it as a shipping container–centric bar that broadened his portfolio beyond Cheesie’s." - Naomi Waxman
Spent our anniversary dinner here :) food was great, just expensive. Our favorite was the miso carbonara!!!
we loved our server Randy, he was extra accommodating. They even have a ring light for the photos

This restaurant is fantastic in every aspect. The quality of the food and service both times we’ve visited was phenomenal. When we entered, we were greeted warmly by Kat, who was so charming and warm. Our servers Mark and Fatima were very attentive and handled all of our unusual requests with grace. The food was phenomenal. We regretted not being able to finish everything because we ordered too much. The chef has created a very unique menu with a lot of creativity. I’ve already mentioned this restaurants to many of my friends and we will definitely visit again when we return to Manila.

another tiktok hype! 🙄🙄
host was not outside to assist/greet. had to wait 5mins before she saw us and even said our reserved time was on an earlier hour. good thing i had proof of what time i booked. also had to wait 10mins before having to ask a server that we’re ready to order. nobody bothered to ask us if we were ready. do servers not have their own tables to serve? anyway…
food was MEH. scallops tasted like fishballs! literally! we hated every bite but since we don’t waste food, we had to finish it
squid ink pasta tasted like carton, octopus was overcooked and BLAND. like they only boiled it plain water for 10hrs. jeez.
grilled salmon didn’t taste grilled.. just tasted like teriyaki salmon
soft shell crab salad was drowning in mayo… so did the roll we got
its like they didn’t even use kewpie
oysters we got were local since that was the only thing available. cheese was again, nothing new nothing fancy
disappointed with this since they’re ambience, price does not match their flavors.
better eat somewhere else, would probably be cheaper and more variety to choose from
oh and it took some time again to get the bill. what a night!

This place has a cigar room and good food. But, we are not fans so cigars, so skip the cigar and have some good food. We had the lobster pasta, baked oysters, sushi, sashimi, the bread and butter was good, the scallops were alright. Overall the food here was super good. It was late at night when we arrived, I reckon around 9pm at least after our company event. But everything is good here. Makes a nice place for a good date as well.

Wine is good, Ribeye is awesome. But service is extremely bad.
I ordered 2 lobster pasta, and they serve Tiger Prawn pasta without inform me in advance. They even do not have Tiger Prawn Pasta on the menu. This is kind of Fraud!!!

My friends and I had an amazing time at Electric Garden! The ambiance was stunning, the music set the perfect vibe, and both the food and drinks were top-notch. Such a great spot for a fun, relaxed night out with friends and will definitely be back!
