It was my 9th anniversary and I was looking forward to visiting Cherry Circle Room. The building is beautiful and walking through was fantastic. The restaurant is tucked in the back past the game room and the ambiance is a great surprise as it’s dimly lit and has an overall great appeal and vibe.

Just was there last night celebrating our anniversary. Our waiter was the sweetest, the food was amazing (healthy Midwestern portions lol!!) And the drinks were phenomenal. Loved the cozy quiet atmosphere. We had an amazing time.

We stopped into Cherry Circle Room during our trip to Chicago and during their restaurant week. We were immediately impressed with the ambiance and friendly staff. Our waiter was fine but the bus staff really impressed us, never letting our water glasses get less than half full, removing our plates promptly when we finished and even cleaning the table in between courses. The food was great as well as the drinks. A must stop when visiting Chicago.

Beautiful space with great food and drinks. We celebrated our wedding anniversary here, and everyone was so attentive and made the experience super special. The appetizers are a good size – we had the house milk bread and the carpaccio, and both were amazing. The apricot chili glazed pork ribs were tasty, too. Our server recommended great drink pairings for each course. We will definitely be back to check out the next season’s menu!

I had a very good burger. I think the carpaccio I would skip next time. The resposado old fashioned was on point.

Another “not my first time here, but first Google Review” for this place! After being absent for a few years and only having cocktails my first time, it was nice to actually dine in this speakeasy-type-of-vibe joint. Sat at the Bar Top which was busy on a Friday night a little before 6pm. It was the beginning of Chicago Restaurant Week but did not opt for that menu. Black Truffle Croquettes at $8/piece are to die for! Rich and decadent. Crock of French Onion Soup has got to be in my Top 3 list of Best French Onion Soups! Plenty of cheese and you definitely have to fish for the Crostini. The cheese in the Half Pound Dry Aged Cheeseburger was not overwhelming. Would be interesting to see a double option. Not pictured here is the Soother Cocktail which was perfect and tasted like an orange gummy candy slice. Can’t wait to come back to try other Cocktails, Food, and Dessert items!
