The Dawson - Chicago

1st day vacationing chicago and landed into this really nice bar! Nice vibe and cozy! Drinks are phenomenal. Definitely try the drink called GTO! The owner is very sweet and approachable! Will come back!Food: 5/5

Worst cocktails I’ve had in Chicago.There was a rat running around the patio.Focaccia was delicious though!

1st visit for the 4 of us and we'd all been wanting to go here. We were not disappointed! It's a contemporary American spot with excellent food the menu varies by season. Our server, Hannah G. was over the top excellent! Our reservation was at 6 pm, and 1 of us was there early while the happy hour menu was still available. She was intrigued by a happy hour appetizer, chorizo empanadas, but wasn't sure the rest of us would want it. Our server put in an order for that, just in case! The rest of us wanted to try it, she brought it out, and it was delicious! Our server was the perfect level of friendly and attentive and paced everything perfectly. The food was very good, especially the halibut and the cauliflower curry. The only negative and one that's not under their control we wanted to sit outside, but traffic noise from Halsted made conversation difficult at times.

Not a good experience. Been there and The Gage plenty of times this was awful.

Not great service and not a great meal! Loved the focaccia bread but a few of us got the burger and agreed it tasted weird
