Mordecai

AMAZING! the burger is the best burger I've ever had- 10/10 ! The fries were also so so good. Definitely recommend checking this place out. It was so good I came back two days in a row !

I was going to come here and tell you about the great drinks we had when we first came here. But this place made such an impression on us we came back the very next weekend. First, the cocktail menu is strong. With a significant list on spiritless cocktails. Get the half cent bird. It's one of the best mocktails I've ever had. There all good though as we tried 4 or so more of them too. Food is fantastic too. The fried cheese curds were some of the best too with some fried pickles thrown on top. I devoured everything they've given us here. The short rib. The kale salad. I never order shrimp but loved their steak and shrimp entree. For our second visit we got a reservation in the popup valentines thing they do upstairs. It was awesome. Great variety of scenery. And chill atmosphere to enjoy date night. I can't wait to come back. It's on the shortlist of places I want to come back to as soon as I can.

Popped in on a Thursday night, a lot of seating was available but we sat at the bar. Ordered the oysters, east coast, very fresh and delish! The burger was the star! Big burger and super juicy and flavorful. Perfect after a long day or if you're craving a burger. We also had a dirty martini and old fashion, but made very well. The martini was perfect and my boyfriend loved the old fashion, it is a whiskey bar! We also stopped in for drinks a few weeks later and they were able to seat us no problem. Hosts and servers are friendly and quick!

We stopped in for dinner after visiting the Kris Kindl market at Wrigley. The decor was modern and festive - it felt very Christmas but done well in a modern restaurant. We had a very attentive waiter who also knew a lot about the food. We started with oysters and the house mignonette was maybe the best I've ever had. It was light and tasty but ensured the oyster flavors were most prominent. I did manage to take some pictures of our food and these were all great! The gnocchi was light and fluffy, I'm not sure that I would call the meatballs spicy but they were tasty. The carrots were great and the short ribs were tender. Mordecai is a place I'd definitely come again for a date night or dinner with friends. Great food & service!

Definitely deserves its spot in the Michelin guide! I live right down the street but for some reason never made it in here until recently, but I'm glad I did. I didn't need a reservation or anything, they were able to seat us right away in a nice corner booth spot. It has a really nice dimmed dinner ambiance, not loud or overly crowded at all. I didn't grab a drink this time around but the burger was amazing! One of the best burgers I've had in Chicago. I wanted to go back the next day to have it again. This seems to be one of the few places in Chicago now that charges $20 for a burger and actually gives you fries with it AND doesn't charge you for toppings. Michelin experience/ambiance, service, and taste without the crazy Michelin restaurant prices. And it's right next to wrigley field which is fun if you're visiting or showing people around the area.

Good service. Sweet but tasty cocktails. Happy Hour 5-7pm daily at the bar only. $50 pasta special for 2 on Wednesdays. Beautiful space. Good but not amazing food. Solid, small wine list. Worth checking out but many more places to visit in Chicago before returning.

Went here for dinner before a concert at Wrigley Field. We arrived before our reservation and the staff was super accommodating and sat us early. Our server was super nice and attentive. All of the food we ordered was delicious and I was so sad I got full and couldn't finish. If we weren't going to the concert right after I would have taken my left overs home. If I have the chance I definitely plan to eat here again in the future.

Lovely cocktail spot in Wrigley that's been on my to-do list for far too long. Beautiful bar area that I could stare at all day. Cocktails were SUPERB. The bartender's name is escaping me but she was excellent - attentive, friendly, & happy to talk/answer any questions we had regarding the cocktails or their wonderful mezcal collection. They do have food but we went mainly for drinks, however I wanted a snack so ordered the polenta fries... whoa so good. I highly recommend this beauty that's within an area saturated with mediocre sport bars, I will most certainly be returning, again & again.

Surprisingly solid HH cocktail option in Wrigleyville. Right across the street from the park, Mordecai offers an elegant space to drink and dine. There are plenty of unique bottles lined up along the wall, partially covered by a moving screen. I believe it is part of the hotel, a modern and fancy looking space, but still approachable.There were a couple of ready made, draft cocktails and we sampled a couple of them. They were all really good. There are also a couple of food HH items listed. Overall, an enjoyable experience and a nice option in the area.

Came here for drinks with friends. It's right across from Wrigley Field, and we went when there was a concert going on, so understandably it was full. However, we were seated upstairs and served quickly. The place is well designed and everything looks nice. Our server was great, and understanding when I didn't like a certain drink and gave me a suggestion for a different one. Most of the drinks were okay, but not up my alley. However, I did finally try one that I loved. My friend also ordered a pesto and clam pasta, and that was absolutely delicious.I'd go back and try some other drinks and if they added some others to the menu. I would go back to try the food as well.
