Tied House

"It might come as a surprise that this sleek, good-looker shares the same owners as next-door Schubas Tavern. And like a tavern, its menu paints broad strokes to appeal to a wide range. Start off with a smoked trout and artichoke dip served with house-made salt and vinegar chips before tucking in to the butternut squash schnitzel. Baked, breaded and fried butternut squash served over spaetzle tossed in brown butter with sauerkraut, hazelnuts and cranberries is a delicious riff on the classic. .Of course, this kitchen can do so much more and flexes its culinary muscles in other dishes, like fried sweet potato with salsa macha and cumin yogurt or a winning Spanish mackerel set on coconut-braised garbanzo beans and garnished with fistfuls of parsley and mint." - Michelin Inspector

Two More Women Allege Ex-Schubas Co-Owner Used Spy Cameras to Record Them | Eater Chicago

"The typical caution against filling up on bread before dinner flies out the window at Tied House, in Lakeview, where Parker House rolls are served with addictive sides like chicken liver mousse, green tomato marmalade, and buttery bone marrow. Some of the best entree options are on the lighter, side, including vegetarian dishes like maitake mushrooms in a shoyu and leek broth that’s packed with umami. If there’s room, though, meat-based items (milk braised pork with cabbage salsify and apple, short rib with black garlic and yellow foot chanterelle mushrooms) is worth the extra calories. "
