Table, Donkey, and Stick - Chicago

Went here during Chicago Restaurant Week absolutely magical. Welcomed to an intimate, candle lit atmosphere, we sat by the back wall which was lined with large windows. Since it was the dead of winter it threatened to be quite chilly. We were delighted when our server brought us two thick blankets to keep on our laps during the meal! Cozy to the max. We ate several courses, including: Smoked trout rillets blumenkase Lamb sausage with brussel sprouts kraut, carmelized onion, sun dried tomato dijon Duck proscuitto lyonnaise salad with house cured moulard breast, bitter greens house pickle, jammy egg, crème fraiche vinaigrette Pan seared whitefish with beurre blanc, braised greens, caper, dill Braised pork shoulder with tomato, hakurei turnips, braised beans, fermented turnip greens (and some wonderful potato latkes with horseradish aioli) Charming spot for a date night

Don't miss out on this lovely gem! I was feeling peckish, so I tried a happy hour burger, and a Brussel sprout/sweet potato combo from the main menu. Just wow. I am floored. Also try the drinks- they are true mixologists, possibly magicians.

Delicious food the schnitzel was wonderful, beef cheek croquettes and latkes to start were delicious and the mushroom risotto was the best I've had in a very long time. Butternut squash soup with poached lobster made my eyes roll back in my head

Made quick reservations for a 6pm dinner same day. The back patio is perfect. Quiet tucked in a nice nook outback with heat lamps. The plates and food were excellent. The cheese and charcuterie plate made for a wonderful start. The strawberry salad was amazing. No pictures of the squash soup and beef cheek croquettes. The soup fell a little underneath the course while the beef croquettes were high performers. I did not anticipate such high-quality service and food. I look forward to a return!

Hadn’t been here in a while and was better than I remembered! Great food, drinks and service.
