Trivoli Tavern

Ate at Lobster Bar inside Trivoli and we were disappointed by the seafood. For starters, the oysters were good, but the coconut shrimp was dry and we mostly tasted the batter. The lobster roll was super disappointing and honestly tasted like imitation lobster drenched in mayo and spices. The Branzino also fell flat and tasted more like a cheaper perch. The mushroom side dish was probably our favorite but soo heavy. The prices just did not live up to the food quality. We also left feeling so sick and full and woke up still feeling off and had upset stomachs all day.

My visit to Trivoli Tavern was delightful. The succulent pork ribs, perfectly cooked steak, and rich truffle bucatini were highlights. The sticky date cake and Oaxacan Old Fashioned cocktail rounded off the meal perfectly. The dim lighting and good music created a cozy and enjoyable atmosphere.

Glad I decided to stop in for a drink. Classy atmosphere. Great selections. Will try the food next time.

Yall listen to me. The food is phenomenal the vibes are amazing but most importantly miss.mona???? My entire table absolutely LOVED her. Mona if you’re seeing this, you made our night <3

This is a wonderful and unique experience. Four of us dined on a Saturday evening and the place was packed out. Reservations are a must. Drinks were really good although I ordered the rum Old Fashioned and it was mediocre. Can’t stand OF that use a cup of ice cubes instead of a single large cube. As the ice melted I had a watery, bad drink. Others ordered the Black Manhattan and Bees Knees which were excellent. For dinner we ordered a couple salmon meals, the coal fired chicken and a steak. I had the chicken and it was spectacular. The side dish of mushroom was a hit. Service was attention and well timed. The one knock. Turn down the music in the dining area. We could barely hear the waiter and struggled to hear each other talk. In hind site we should have addressed this with our waiter. Overall this is a wonderful experience!

What a wonderful pre-date night spot here in Chicago - the seats at the bar magically opened up for us as we were galavanting throughout the neighborhood - we ate several sides and enjoyed smart wines and wonderful selfie-taking here! A perfect spot with kind customer service and great host team to help even when its packed!
