Longman & Eagle

You can't go wrong with foie gras, or in this case duck liver mousse dollop in a sea of olive oil and blueberry compote with sweetened blueberries; absolutely heaven on earth. Spread that thing in the toasted focaccia also in olive oil and the perfect pairing is achieved. The bone marrow is a similar take even richer. You actually need the burrata and the peaches in between as a counter not to overwhelm your taste buds. All three dishes are excellent !!!The summer sausage was ok.

Longman & Eagle was our savior when we really needed it. I flew into Chicago the night we came here and I was delayed. We had a reservation elsewhere and it was clear we were not going to make it in time. I looked at some other fine dining-type places and they all seemed to close around 9 or 10, so we had to pivot to something more casual. I went through my trusty restaurant and bar spreadsheet and settled on Longman & Eagle, both for the food and the whiskey. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but we were honestly blown away by everything, especially the food. Drinks are great, whiskey list is dizzying, service is wonderful. Easy five stars. We came here at around 9:30/9:45 on a Thursday night. Given that it was late, we had no issues getting a table. I had an annoying travel day plus a pinched nerve so I was not in the best mood which meant I was very excited to drink. This happens to be a very good place to do just that. Even though this is a whiskey spot, we actually opted for two non-whiskey drinks for our first round. I got the Bean-Tini with gin (Letherbee Gin, House Dilly Bean Brine, Orange Bitters) and my partner got the Thai Collins (Letherbee Gin, Ford's Gin, Makrut Lime Leaf, Lemongrass, Lime, Thai Basil). The server who brought them over to us said they were her favorite two drinks on the menu, so we were pleased with ourselves for intuiting that. Both drinks were delicious and unique. Any dirty martini variation is a friend of mine and this one featuring bean brine and a bean garnish was fun. Our server recommend the Logan Boulevardier (Sazerac 6 Year Rye, Cocchi di Torino, Campari, Angostura) for my second drink which was also a great choice. I'd never had a Boulevardier with this rye before so it was nice to taste the subtle differences this rye brings. My partner and I split a rye at the end of the meal which was spiced and toasty and amazing yet somehow I cannot remember what it was -- I just know it came highly recommended and we could see why. Food-wise, despite having more of a bar vibe, Longman and Eagle boasts a formidable dinner menu. We got two appetizers and two entrees and split everything, and it was plenty of food. Eats, below:Simple Greens Salad w/ Werp Greens, Herbs, Radish, Cucumber, Rosé Vinaigrette: ASimple but not boring. We wanted to make sure to get some veggies in this meal so this was an easy choice. Veggies were fresh (the radishes in particular were great) and the dressing was flavorful but light. Asparagus and Feta (Klug Farm Asparagus, Pistachio Crusted Feta, Jalapeño Honey, Olive Vinaigrette): A+This absolutely blew us away. The combo was just unreal. The spicy honey, the decadence of the feta, just beyond flavorful. Definitely more feta than there is asparagus which we were not expecting -- not an issue, just a note.Green Garlic and Gruyere Pork Sausage w/ Braised Cannellini Beans, Hakuri Turnip, Crispy Kraut: AWhen in Chicago, get a big hunk of meat, right? The sausage was super flavorful and rich and paired very well with the kraut. I'm not big into beans but these were solid.Halibut and Clams w/ Asparagus, Grilled Spring Onion, Confit Potato, Nduja Sauce: A+The other showstopper of the night. The nduja sauce was really what elevated everything else in the dish and just generally made the preparation unique. I'm not sure I got a single clam because my partner could not get enough of them, but all other aspects were excellent.

I haven't been here in years, but brunch today was as good as I remember! We sat outside on this beautiful day, & everything we tried was so good:Vegan Cashew Onion dip w/fresh chipsFried Chicken & WafflesPastrami Lox & BagelBreakfast SammichThey house make all their breads - so the bagel w/the lox & the english muffin in the breakfast sammich were freshly baked. The sweet/salty in these dishes was so perfectly balanced. And that vegan dip! So creamy, so perfect w/their fresh chips!The table next to us got a raised donut w/everything bagel seasoning on it! We were intrigued but too full to try. Their other donuts - black & white (like cookie) was tempting too.This place has been here a long time, & the quality of their food has remained excellent! It's a great place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks, etc!

Had Sunday brunch at this restaurant on a beautiful Chicago morning. We sat outside on the patio which is on a side street and reasonably peaceful.This is a farm to table restaurant and I can honestly say it was the best breakfast I've had in years. The farm fresh eggs were cooked perfectly. The potatoes boiled then grilled were tasty and had the perfect crusty texture. The fresh ground sausage patties were very tasty. Not like anything you find in the store. & the homemade sourdough brioche toast was phenomenal with homemade jam. Our table also enjoyed a giant scrambled egg and cheese and potato burrito and a dish of pastrami cured lox that was "Hot smoked" to perfection. Maddie our server was excellent great personality & the bill was reasonable I wish I lived closer. I would eat here every day.

Super cute spot! Sat outside on the patio and our waiter was very nice and gave a bunch of recommendations. To start we got the sour cream and onion dip. Unfortunately they forgot to bring it out and finally brought it out halfway through our entree. This was interesting. Chips were good but dip was eh. Didn't taste like sour cream and onion and had a yogurt texture. They also cleared this from our table when we had a lot left without asking us which was a bummer. For my main I had the sloppy Joe. This was great! Full of flavor and I love the jalapeños on it! Fries were good. Our waiter recommended the pepper aioli. He didn't mention it costs extra! It also just tasted like mayo. I would come back for a drink!

Came here with my brunch crew last weekend and it was such a great time! The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the waitstaff is friendly. This was my first time here and I was told the chicken and waffles were great so that's what I ordered. The chicken and waffles comes with hot honey bourbon butter, sweet potatoes, bacon and pecans. There were a few too many potatoes for my liking but it was all very tasty. Trying to cut down on carbs, so I didn't eat too many of the potatoes! Both my friend and I were celebrating birthdays and our server brought us a birthday donut which I thought was really nice! If you are a coffee lover, they don't offer much in terms of coffee but the regular beverage selection is decent. The mimosas were good too. Overall this is a nice spot if you are looking to dine in the Logan Square area!

I came here with a friend for Chicago Restaurant Week for lunch. They don't take reservations so it's first come-first serve. We came here around noon on a Saturday and it was busy. We put our name on the waitlist and they told us 30-40 min wait. But 5 min later they texted us that our table was ready so we got lucky! The place is spacious. There are two rooms in the back. I will def come back here to try their other menu items. Everything looks good here!Parsnip apple soup: wow, the best soup I ever had and I never had anything like it esp with roasted apple in a soup! The crispy parsnip adds a nice texture to the soup. The soup is smooth and creamy. Highly recommend!Wild boar sloppy Joe: it comes with fries and it's a good portion but I still ate all of it, more on the salty side and the fries were like regular fries. I liked the pickled jalapeño and it was not spicy at all. The potato roll was really good. It was slightly toasted but still soft. Salted brown butter chocolate chip cookie: served warm and of course so good, but nothing too fancy. Something you can make at home.

Everything. The whole menu please! All things tried have been amazing. Whiskey bar? Count me in. Outdoor bar too!? Sold.

Food was amazing. Our servers name was Jordan and he was charismatic , funny, and had thorough menu knowledge. It gets a little dark inside but I appreciated the candle lit vibe after the sun went down. Will definitely be back!

Man. I had high hopes for this place as people consistently talked about it being a Logan Square staple. Parking is absolutely a nightmare in the area and would recommend taking alternative means of transportation unless you want to drive around in circles for 20 mins while something opens up.First thing that jumped out as odd to me was the limited dinner menu despite being at the restaurant on a Thursday. Extremely limited - about 5 options each across appetizers, small plates, and entrees. I ordered a salad, fries, and the branzino. The fries and salad were good (hard to mess that up, right?), but the branzino was terrible. Nothing was seasoned and it seemed like they put a lot of effort into making the sauce work hard for the dish but it was bland and room temperature. I feel like this place has declined ever since the former chef, Kerney, left a few years ago. Not sure what's happened between now and then but this place needs a menu overhaul stat.
