Sable Kitchen & Bar, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

"Inventive", "fun-to-share" American "small and medium bites" from former Top Chef-testant Heather Terhune "just click" at this River North hang in the Hotel Palomar where the "creative", "quality" cocktails "match the food" and fuel a "high-energy" bar scene; it's a "bit pricey" for some who find it "just ok" given the "hype", but the majority concludes "there's little room for disappointment here."

Food:

Restaurant is located inside the Hotel Palomar and easily accessible. Bar area was packed and a bit overcrowded considering the small width of the overall bar. In the back they have a beautiful dining area. I called ahead for a party of 6 so they seated us in a very nice room in back.

Overall food was extremely overrated in my opinion. I did enjoy the cheese curds which came with a spicy ketchup and offered a very unique flavor but lets face it you don't go to a place like this looking for cheese curds. Unfortunately the Venison and the Octopus were both taken off the menu which was a bit disappointing.

The scallops were a bit too salty but fairly large. The drink menu offers a plentiful variety of drinks... I chose to try the bourbon flight and will admit it was OUTSTANDING and one of the few reasons I still gave this place a 3 star.

The restaurant manager was a nice guy and did send us some champagne and a free desert on the house as well as an order of Turkey Poutine (the Turkey Poutine was a bit awkward as most of our diners were vegetarian and I told him that upfront). The toffee cake is very delicious and worth trying!

Overall I recommend coming here for the drinks and not the food! Not a bad option for a drink after work or a weekend evening but far from what we expected!

Food:

We went for just cocktails. The best ones we had in Chicago. Fantastic fresh originals, and all the classics well made. The drinks will not dissapoint.

Food:

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. To eat we got the lamb, scallops, and capicola flatbread which were all delicious. The War of Roses was also a great drink.

Food:

Good food. Odd atmosphere. Our service was so-so. I think there are better alternatives

Food:

The food here is pretty mediocre. I was disappointed with every dish I ordered, and I even had to send one back because it was inedible. The service was fine and the drinks were pretty good, but I would not go back. I did email the manager about my experience and they responded very politely and apologized and even offered a free dinner should I choose to return which was very unexpected. However, I still haven't returned for my free dinner so... I think that says it all.
