The Bellevue Chicago

I have been to Bellevue a couple of times since it changed from the old Tavern on Rush and its a solid replacement. Very popular joint and can get packed at any moment. Because of that fact, I normally grab a bar seat and have a pretty good time...always a vibrant atmosphere. Just an FYI, they take reservations if you want a table. There is an upstairs dining room and bar if its too packed downstairs. Jose Luis is an upstairs bartender thats very cool and great for conversation.Now onto the food! The Hamachi Tartare and Grilled Octopus are really good starters/appetizers. I was convinced by the upstairs bartender Jose Luis that the Fire Roasted Pork Chop would be great to devour and he was right. Very good piece of pork on top of apple chutney. I was told the rigatoni is very good so that will be my next dish here. Jose Luis even made me a special expresso ice cream dessert that isnt on the menu. Good presentation and good taste.I tend to always go with the Smoky Orchard when I come here as its a mezcal cocktail with compari, vermouth and spiced apple syrup...a great cocktail! Espresso martini is good as well. JB's Old Fashioned is always on point! Solid joint and always a good time here either solo or with friends/date.

I had a beautiful brunch at the Bellevue this weekend! It's a gorgeous place and there is outdoor seating that is perfect for a summer day! The restaurant is decorated beautifully and there are some nice spots to take pretty pictures! I tried the crab cake with fries and the Bellevue for my cocktail! The Bellevue cocktail is made with Grey Goose, St Germain elderflower, lemon juice and prosecco. So delicious! For dessert we had the Pistachio Vanilla Cake with Ricotta Cheese and Chocolate Ganache!! Delicious! Can't wait to come back here soon!

Jacob our waiter was amazing!! Great recommendations and asked all the right questions. We loved everything and can't wait to come back. Best people watching in the city IMO

Really liked the lobster Mac n cheese and crab cake but would avoid the calamari which was too fishy for our liking. The Mocktail baby Bellevue was amazing.

This was not our first time at Bellevue. We have been there for dinner before as well. We have a NY day tradition to go to Gold coast for brunch. This year we went to the Bellevue and loved it! The service is on point and the interior is nicely decorated! The brunch menu was a lot more affordable and the drinks were delicious! I got the crab cakes benedict and they were very good and a decent portion as well. The breakfast potatos were very well seasoned and super tasty. My bf got eggs and steak and he said that they were pretty good but not enough, so he finished mine. We also finished brunch with two celebratory tequila shots to begin the new year right. Overall, Bellevue is a must visit place!

We stopped by the Bellevue for drinks but ended up for dinner. We didn't realize Restaurant Week was still going on, so we decided to stay put.For a Friday evening, we were able to get a table in the bar area. We each started off with a cocktail. I got a vodka espresso martini and my husband got their signature drink, the Bellevue. I wished I got his! That drink was amazing... next time...For dinner, I started off with the octopus--yummy! It had a small kick to it. I got the chicken Diane, which is essentially roasted chicken with a mushroom Marsala sauce. It was served with mashed potatoes and some asparagus. So tasty! My husband got the Caesar salad and the skirt steak. We got the raspberry tart and the key lime ice cream pie to share. The ice cream pie was my favorite of the two!Service was good though I felt our waitress was a bit flirty with my husband ‍

Where do I even start with this incredible meal? When you walk in, it's beautifully decorated and the staff are quick to greet you warmly. Went here on a work dinner and it was the perfect place for it. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and chic with some light noise. The drinks I had were the espresso martini and the strawberry mule- both highly recommended options. Couldn't tell you which ones better, but if you have it in you for both, I would do it. The bread service appetizer was wonderful, we loved all three of the dips it came with. The cheese was a noticeable winner, the herb one was great, and the table was split on the bone marrow (i personally liked it). We got the beef skewers as well and they surely did impress! Would come back for those and drink alone. For my meal I did restaurant week, so I tried the meatballs and some of the octopus as well- both wonderful! Loved the two of them equally. The squid ink pasta was astonishing. I saw someone leave a review about how it MUST be added to the permanent menu and i couldn't agree more. I would order that over and over again. Great experience and service the whole night- we closed the place out and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Didn't feel like we were a pain or being rushed out. Would love to go back!

Taya was an amazing waitress God bless her and her amazing service. Food was amazing I would definitely recommend trying the burger out.

Teodora is the best!!! Had a lovely girls night out which she supplemented with great recommendations and enhanced our experience!

We had such a great experience here!!! Steven and Eva were THE BEST servers and the food was delicious! The Bellevue Dip was by far our favorite dish - literally melted in your mouth.
