A friend of mine, had ventured in to their doors a week ago insisted I spend a Wednesday early evening with him there to check... out their fare. Definitely not disappointed I must say. We started with a 4 Roses Old Fashioned with a half a dozen OystersRockefeller. Very tasty yet the seasoning seemed a bit light? The breading had almost no flavor, I was hoping for a largerimpact. I ordered the mash potatoes with a ham gravy and the Prime Rib French Dip. This, my friend was a freaking outstandingpairing. I want to give the Gretel ten starts for this. The baguette was slighting toast but so soft! Seriously, that makesthe sandwich for me. Our server, Maura I think her name was? Just a great presence and had a strong knowledge of the menu andmaking recommendations. Overall, what a fantastic place, vibe and overall experience. So glad to have visited. Can't wait to goback.

I like Gretel so much that I had to come back. When I was there last spring, I was only aware of the upstairs dining area.... However, seating was unavailable when we arrived tonight. Of course, we did not have a reservation. Gretel was our second stopof the night. We headed downstairs for cocktails until a table opened up. It is very cozy downstairs, and it felt like I wassitting in my living room listening to music and enjoying an Old Fashioned with a friend. I was so comfortable I did not wantto leave when our table became available. If you are looking for a late-night snack, try the pork belly nachos. The appetizerwas shareable, and more than enough food for two people. The handcrafted cocktails are delicious, and we only needed one. If youare in the neighborhood, stop by. Street parking is available. Read more
Impressed by the decorations of this place. We found this place when we were searching for a restaurant bar near the place we... were invited. When we stepped into this place the dim light with all-the interior lighting were looking beautiful! Our burgerand Cesar Salad with Chicken were good and tasty! Our server was very polite and hospitable. Read more
If you are reading these then PLEASE GET THE MAC AND CHEESE. I SWEAR TO GOD IT'S HANDS DOWN THE BEST MAC AND CHEESE IN THE... CITY. Now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast. This place is a little hidden gem. Every time I start eating the food Ibegin planning my next return. The mixed drinks have great balance and flavor. There's a gigantic liquor selection that doesn'tdisappoint. The burger is probably top 5 (or even top 3) in the city. The chicken sandwich is even higher up there, rightbehind Lucy's and Welcome Back Lounge. The super soft buttery bun they use imparts 80% of the delicious flavor that keeps youcoming back. I swear, they use the right toasted bun for these. But here's the best part. God himself must have blessed thisMac and cheese because it's the greatest recipe I've ever tasted. The twisted little flavor vestibules grab all of the cheeseybuttery goodness. This place does not disappoint. Read more

Very impressed with the medieval/gothic ambiance of this place. The burger is really solid, one of the best in Chicago. The... Mac and cheese is amazing, definitely the best in Chicago. The nachos were also quite good. Only had these things but the menuis quite varied, and even has some Japanese influence with menu items like ramen and shishito peppers. Read more
