"You’re feeling it tonight, but not to the point that you want to have dinner in a borderline club. So check out Eleven Eleven, a West Loop bar that’s cool but relatively relaxed. They have a long wine list, and if you want, the bartenders will talk to you extensively about the selection. But there’s also a very good food menu, with options like cacio e pepe, and a burger with crispy kale that’s delicious, but will make you need to check your teeth before smiling at anyone." - adrian kane

"Eleven Eleven is an upscale wine bar with great food that (despite being in the West Loop) manages to be relatively relaxed. You’ll find options like prawns and grits, cacio e pepe, and their signature burger." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"A fun and eclectic two-floor restaurant, Eleven Eleven manages to create an upscale yet laid-back atmosphere that could strike the perfect chord for unconventional couples. There’s a private dining room that seats 30, a wine bar that seats 40, and an upstairs lounge that’s well-suited to a standing reception for 31." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Taylor now joins other lauded South Side culinary talent as a chef who’s worked at the Retreat at Currency Exchange Cafe, which has hosted chefs including Lamar Moore of Eleven Eleven and Cliff Rome of Peach’s Restaurant." - Brandon Summers-Miller

"Eleven Eleven is an upscale wine bar with great food that (despite being in the West Loop) manages to be relatively relaxed. You’ll find options like shrimp and grits, bucatini, and a dish of cauliflower “burnt ends” that tastes like something your stoner roommate who’s also a very good chef would make after a night out." - adrian kane
