Chalet

Wings, Burger, Service all 5/5!Went here with some friends on a Sunday around noon and was greeted with complimentary champagne. That was a sign of good things to come. Food was great and our server was awesome. I'll be back!

Food: I got the All American breakfast. Candied pork bacon was 10/10. Buttermilk pancakes: 8/10. Love the cinnamon sugar part. Eggs: 8/10 after hot sauce Potatoes: 4/10. Burnt. Pineapple mimosas were good. Light skinned :)Service: Our server was very attentive. Appreciate her. Ambiance: Causal

Visited 3 times and every time was denied ordering food. I was just there and the bar tender denied me ordering food saying the kitchen closed at 8pm and last call was 7:45. It was 7:43. I don't know why they don't want me as a customer. Very terrible service.

Rating 3.5/5 We had a great server who immediately put us on to the Sunday brunch special of 2 free mimosas per person. What a great surprise! The ambience was also on point with the music selection. However, my chicken and waffles left more to be desired. The waffle was luke warm and a bit on the drier side. The Mac and Cheese was really good though!

Had a fun time hanging out at this River North establishment. It was a very nice day out and saw that they were having a day party at this venue so decided to venture on over there. plenty of paid street parking nearby. for this establishment you you can book a table on the OpenTable app in case you want to secure a spot for eating.Upon arrival, we did have to go through security, so that aspect is nice to a certain extent. We were promptly seated at the bar after getting through security to have a couple cocktails. For cocktails we ordered the porn star martini, and the sidecar cognac cocktail. We enjoyed our cocktails and they were priced appropriately for river north which is still too damn expensive. Downstairs the music vibe was good and chill. After enjoying our cocktails downstairs, we ventured upstairs where pretty much you're gonna get your cocktail in a plastic cup. The vibe upstairs was not really chill and the music was pumping the DJ was doing a good job of trying to play to the crowd. There was no seating upstairs unless you paid for VIP and dance floor was pretty small. Not that many people were dancing anyway. Probably spent a little under an hour upstairs had a cocktail got a couple dance songs in and then we left.Overall, a decent restaurant, bar, and nightclub. Not totally my vibe, but I did have a good time. I would come back and try their brunch and happy hour specials.

My Best Friend took me out to Chalet to celebrate my birthday. This was our 1st time at Chalet, and the experience was not the greatest.Ambiance/Vibe: Though the place was packed, it had a small, lively crowd. They also played decent music. Around 7:30pm, they dimmed the lights and turned up the music. I'm sure the place has a nice late night crowd/experience.Service: While we didn't have the most attentive server, I can't say that service was bad... just average.Drinks: This was probably the best part of our visit. I started with an Old Fashioned and my bestie had a Long Island. She really enjoyed her drink. She said it was STRONG, but flavorful. She enjoyed it so much that she had 2. For the price, my cocktail was TINY, but it was really good. After the Old Fashioned, I switched to the Manhattan. It, too, was bold but flavorful.Dinner: We started with Chips & Guac. The guacamole was good - nice and creamy. The chips were stale! They had that hard crunch like the bag had been left open for a few days. For dinner, I had the Crab Cakes and a Caesar Salad. My bestie had a Caesar Salad with Chicken. Our girl had BBQ Wings and a side of Fries. I'll start with the positive: my girl said the wings and fries were good. They were so good that we ended up getting another order of Buffalo wings and fries. The value isn't the best, though - $16 for 6 wingettes is kinda crazy (yeah, you read that right - they weren't full wings)! The salads were soaked, drenched, drowned, etc. in Caesar dressing. The salads come already dressed (well over-dressed) - big mistake! It was too the point where they weren't even enjoyable. We asked for another bowl of lettuce to mix with the salad - another big mistake. How the chef allowed the bowl of lettuce in the picture to come out of his kitchen is beyond comprehension. The concerning thing is if your undressed lettuce is this brown, that probably means that the lettuce dressed in the salad is this brown, too.The crab cakes were charred on one the side, which gave them a nice crust, but when I turned them over, I could see that they were burnt, not just charred. The crab meat that wasn't burnt had a decent flavor, though the sauce on them and on the accompanying lettuce was super sweet.I will say that we brought the lettuce to the attention of the manager after the meal, and she was very understanding and accommodating. She offered us a complimentary cocktail to rectify the issue, but we were already ready to go. We'd already paid the tab, but she did adjust it and remove the salads. I was thankful for that gesture.I LOVE supporting Black-owned businesses, so I really wanted to like this place. While I probably won't return, I encourage you to check it out for yourself. If you go, I strongly suggest you do happy hour for a better value/price and steer clear of the salads.#ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad

The vibe here is cool. Great music and a cute little set up. I did think the food was good but honestly it's your basic breakfast meal. Our table ordered the family servings thinking it would be enough but the portions were tiny. We all left feeling hungry and regretting not ordering individual meals. All in all, I would try it again, simply to try the individual meals and for the cute vibe but it's nothing that I would say people MUST experience.

So let's talk about how you get 2 free mimosas to start with on Sunday. I say Sunday because I am here on a Sunday lol. It's actually Saturday and Sundays. The blueberry French toast was a 0/10.. not only was it burnt but it tasted like medicine. They were very friendly with allowing me to return and sub the item for something else. The Mac and cheese was the substitute and it was a 10/10. Right amount of cheese, seasoning, and baking. The turkey bacon was good and I would give it. 7/10 and the eggs became a 10 after I added some salt to it. The atmosphere is nice, with the outside open to allow a cool breeze to filter through the Restuarant. It would be a great place to bring friends or a brunch date to enjoy drinks, music and food. The interesting thing is that you do not have to be married to the brunch menu if you come for brunch. You can also order from the all day menu. The server is very attentive and was really nice and helpful. Stop by and check it out for yourself. The French toast were honestly the reason why I could not give it a 5 star review.

We came here on a Saturday night to grab some dinner and drinks. The restaurant is very dark with loud hip-hop music, but that's exactly the environment we wanted on this particular night. Our service was great and timely - she even offered some games for us to play while we waited for food! Loved this idea and made the dining experience super fun.My spicy margarita was okay and nothing special, as was the rest of the meal. We got the boneless lemon pepper wings, which were much better than the garlic parmesan bone-in wings. These were way too salty. The ceasar salad and wings seemed like they came from dominos...not great quality or flavor. The fries were good though, especially the parmesan truffle fries. The buffalo mac and cheese was tasty but definitely on the saltier side as well.

Came for a work sponsored happy hour. There was about 15 of us, but despite our size our drink orders were taken quickly and came out relatively quickly. I will say though that I ordered a Manhattan and it came out with a small piece of of herb or green leaf floating in the drink that was too small to be intentional. We ordered food, and while it did take a while for it to come out ( somewhere close to 45 mins-1 hour), the happy hour sliders I had were good and everyone seemed fairly satisfied with their food. Overall chalet fit the bill for what we needed, but not sure I will be a regular.
