First visit but definitely not the last. Had three separate phone calls in advance. Really friendly and happy voices on the phone. Left a message on the phone which was returned with apologies for not having been able to answer when I first called and was thanked for my support. ( three of us coming in for lunch) very attractive Good menu and good food. It these times where we encounter rudeness and anger, this place seems to have nurtured a courteous and happy culture.


This was our first visit to the restaurant, and although the rooftop was not open due to lack of staff, the patio was nice. Our service was great and the food was good. My chilaquiles were tasty, although they were missing the chorizo that was stated on the menu. I look forward to trying lunch or dinner on the rooftop.


Yesterday was my 1st visit and I'll absolutely be back! Started with the Irish Nachos which were a tasty combination of nachos and potato skins! My favorite app was the calamari with sweet chili sauce...outrageously good! I ordered a skirt steak for dinner and it was cooked perfectly medium. To top it off we recieved excellent service. Highly recommend!

Good service. Great atmosphere and food. The grilled cheese with short rib is more like a short rib sandwich with cheese. But that's was fine because the short rib was amazing! The only thing that would have made our meal better is if the side of ranch was homemade (that's always one of the best parts of eating out!). 🙂


Love! Kasia helped me plan a party in the upstairs space. She was super helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. Day of the party we were well taken care of by her and the awesome bartenders. We were even able to come early to decorate! When we came back a week later for drinks, she recognized us which shows the dedication to the job and even in a busy setting, she was very attentive to all tables.

Met a few friends this past Friday for dinner and drinks. Our server, Ali, was awesome. Everyone enjoyed their food - burgers, calamari, poppers, brussel sprouts, and sliders. The crowd was lively, as it was a gorgeous night, and the live music was a perfect touch to our visit.Our go-to spot!! Great job during these rough times in the industry, Tavern on the Point!


Third time's the charm. "The Aunts" finally gave our niece her wedding shower after being postponed twice due to covid lockdowns! Tavern on the Point, in Edison Park, made this long-awaited day so special. The food, flowers, and mimosas under the tent was beautiful. Then came lunch. Arugula salad with a creamy balsamic dressing followed by platters of salmon sauteed in a light caper sauce, tender lemon chicken medians, and seriously seasoned green beans . Amazing! In fact, throughout dessert and gift opening, the talk was all about the fabulous lunch we had all just enjoyed. Everyone is going back to this place.


I met up with a friend of mine here for drinks and appetizers. They did not disappoint. The waitress was responsive and she gave us time to sit and catch up a bit before repeat check ins about our order. Her timing was great! Cocktails were perfectly made and the elote dip and hummus was perfect for our appetites. It was the first time I've been there and plan to go back for a date night with my husband. Definitely recommend for a nice, affordable, tasty evening.


We ordered last night and were so impressed. I made a mistake thinking I was ordering for delivery so when they called an hour later reminding me to come and pickup I was confused. I talked to the manager or owner who had someone bring the food over to us even though they don't deliver. That is amazing service. Above and beyond. The almond crusted Grouper and fish tacos were delicious! Thank you for such a great experience!


A friend recommended this place for lunch and, after meeting her there, I agree that it's good. The bar had a slight, welcoming beer smell as soon as I walked in, which I appreciate. There is outside seating that looks nice, but we had to sit inside because of the unpleasant weather.As brunch was still being served (until 15:00), I ordered the Denver omelette and my friend had the crepes. The omelette was good, although not the best I have ever had. The server, who was very attentive, brought me cake because she saw that my friend brought me a gift bag that said "happy birthday." I'm normally not a cake person, but she brought it so had to try it. She called it a cannoli cake or something and it was good, not too sweet. I plan to come back here, mostly because I like the service and the atmosphere. It's a good place to have some food and get a couple of beers on a Saturday.


We've been coming here since it opened and never have been disappointed. The service is fast and friendly with large portions and a great selection of drinks. Plenty of TVs to catch your favorite team and the outside patio spaces creates a fun atmosphere to catch up with friends. Always a plus to have Guinness on draft!


Went to visit Tavern On The Point this past weekend after a friend recommended it. It did not disappoint! We were seated rather quickly and the waitress came right up and asked us what we wanted for drinks. I ordered a glass of wine and my husband ordered a specialty drink, plus the tuna poke which was really fresh! My husband then ordered the grouper sandwich and I got the baby beet salad. Hubby said the sandwich was really well seasoned. The waitress was very attentive and sweet! We will be back to try the calamari that I have heard so much about and the lobster roll!


My husband and I enjoyed our date night at Tavern on The Point. Their extensive drink list started our relaxing meal on great note. The Chicken Fried Chicken was outstanding and generous in portion. My husband enjoyed the Bourbon Glazed Pork Chop. Looking forward to returning soon.


I've been here many times, but wanted to leave a review about last Sunday. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience. They really outdid themselves with all of the Saint Patrick's Day festivities and they proved that Edison Park was back and better than ever post-pandemic. The grilled cheese with short rib is one of my personal favorites, and I love how they have Sprite Zero.


Tavern on the Point has a fantastic atmosphere! I absolutely can't wait for the weather to change and get up to the patio with my cucumber martini!! Last week we ate inside on the first floor and the food was delicious! The service was fantastic and they had live music which was great!! Overall TOTP is 5 stars!!


I have been at The Tavern on the Point several times and have always found the restaurant to be a great location to have an excellent weekend brunch, daily lunch and dinner. It is a beautiful restaurant with efficient friendly staff and upbeat customers. They have entertainment on some evenings which is extremely enjoyable. They have two levels with an elevator and outside and inside dining on both levels. During the winter months they have a tent over the rooftop area.


I had my daughter's 16th birthday party at Tavern. I was impressed with the food and service. The events coordinator ,Kathy, was very professional and attentive. She made sure all my questions were answered and my needs were met. The event took place on the roof top that was completely enclosed and made warm and cozy for all the guests. The wait staff was great! The bartender was great! They made my daughters party a success. I also planned this with only a months time and they were so accommodating. The guests were commenting on how delicious the food and drinks were and how beautiful the place was. All in all I recommend this location for any special event or just to hang out for great drinks, great food and a wonderful atmosphere!

I have been to this place many many times and it never disappoints! Absolutely great food, every time exactly what u expect and even better, amazing drinks , friendly and attentive people who work here. Special thanks to manager Kathy for always making the experience extra pleasant. Now when they host events we will come out even more! Thanks so much for all the work and helping us to create the memories! Best place in the neighborhood!


I had never there before. We really enjoyed ourself. The food was good, the staff was great. They had free valet parking. Our waiter was Danny, he is such a nice and pleasant person. He was very busy and plenty of tables to attend to, but he was able to take care all his tables in a timely manner. I also appreciate the owner John coming over to our table to speak and to make sure we didn't need anything and he also changed one of the Televisions to the channel we wanted to look at. The service was excellent. We will be back soon.

I arranged a Christmas Holiday Party on Sunday, December 12 at Tvern on the Point. I called the owner, John who immediately had his party manager, Kathy call me. Within a period of minutes, we had all the details completed and the party was on at a reasonable price. The event was nothing short of spectacular. The upstairs room accommodated our party of well over 100 guests. The food was excellent as was the service down to the last detail. The bartenders, food servers and party manager were all very friendly and attentive to every guest. All in attendance raved about their experiences and compliments abounded regarding the event.

We came here for brunch on Sunday and honestly was expecting the food to be good, but it was great! Service was also excellent: friendly and attentive staff. We ordered the chilaquiles and crepes off the brunch menu: fresh, tasty and portions were generous. Restaurant is very clean. Relaxed atmosphere. Spacious. Constant flow of patrons. We'll definitely be back. Tip: You can make reservations on Open table if you're not confident about securing a table at walk in.


My husband and I hosted our son's christening reception at Tavern on the Point. From when we first started contacting restaurants TOTP stood out because of their responsiveness. Kathy was excellent in answering all of my questions and was patient with me in planning our event. We even arrived 35 minutes (sorry again for the hustle!) early for our reservation with 30+ guests in tow. The staff at TOTP were so professional and courteous to my entire family and friends and just let us get set up, no questions asked! The menu was extensive for a party of our size and our selections were absolutely delicious! Kudos on the lemon chicken and roasted veggies, we had many people talking about how great everything tasted! Once again, I want to thank everyone for helping us pull together such a nice reception for our son! We'll be talking about it for years to come and can't wait to come back in for dinner soon!


Great location, great place and great food! The owners of this establishment are from the city (Local) and greet everyone as if they were a part of their extended family. Food is great! Service is awesome, family friendly and also very trendy. So weather your looking for a sports bar with friends, place for family dinner or date night this place is on point! Sorry no pictures of food this visit - phone died! Gives me an excuse to go back


Was in Chicago visiting friends & came to Tavern on the Point for dinner & what a truly wonderful experience it was. The atmosphere, food & service were all top notch & masks were worn by all staff members which made us feel comfortable. In addition owners Joe & John couldn't have been more friendly towards us & were very helpful. For appetizer enjoyed the tuna poke which had a abundant amount of tuna & was absolutely delicious. The main courses of crab louie salad & the roasted beet salad both were so very scrumptious. This is a place that I highly recommend on so many levels & I can't wait to go there again!Lauren T, Huntington, NY

I came to Chicago Last week to see friends and that night we went to tavern on the point for dinner. Let me say that its a wonderful restaurant I had the Tavern old fashioned their signature drink was a great cocktail the we had the calamari and roasted Brussel sprouts, they were yummy the main Course was Ribeye steak and the Lamb Chops The Bourbon Pork Chop and the brassed short rib gnocchi all were extremely Good. Although when John came over and asked how everything was, I said wonderful. we then got some after diner drinks and also tried the cannoli cake and the chocolate cake to share between the 4 of us to try and again NO DISAPPOINTMENT!!!See you again in the spring timeMichael Long Island New York


We had the patty melt and the roasted brussel sprouts. They were fantastic. I'm a big brussel sprout fan and order them anytime I have the chance and the pancetta (bacon) and onions and finished with a balsamic vinegar made this one of the best anywhere. The patty melt was delicious and I suspect all of their burgers would be good. The burger was moist and juicy and well cooked.


Was a great place for a girls outing. We placed our order but others were served first. Didn't understand why it took so long. One of my friends ordered a VG beet salad and thought it was vegan . It turned out it was vegetarian. She had to pick through and remove the cheese. She agreed it was her fault. Wait staff wanted to take it back and get a new dish without cheese. Applause for that. Menu was very limited. Not sure if I would return but had a great time with my friends.


Restaurant week is a hit at TOTP! The ambiance, food, service and music was a hit. I had great company and the tasting menu was phenomenal. Have the watermelon salad you won't be disappointed. Blue cheese crusted filet was outstanding and perfectly cooked. Defimy will be my after work spot. Love love love this place!

Tonight was our first night visiting this restaurant. For the record, it was my husband and I + our three kids. The restaurant was fully seated when we arrived around 8 pm (on a Saturday). We were seated immediately and waited for just a few minutes to be assigned a server (understandable given the short staff of the hospitality industry right now)... but once Danny came over to greet us, we couldn't have asked for a better night. He was super kind and accommodating. The food was perfectly timed and tasted delicious. The Manager even came over and apologized for a short wait (even though it was very short)... and honestly, we didn't even need an apology, but it just showed that both the manager and our server cared about us coming in and noticed things like that. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for date nights, parties, or a night out with the family. They will not disappoint!! And ask for Danny for a great experience!


Just left Tavern and had the cutest and best server EVER! Danny K. went above and BEYOND with service and kindness! Tavern never disappoints with their food, atmosphere, drinks and service. We are coming back for Bingo night next week! They even gave us a great dessert for free. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant/bar!


Typical American cuisine but above average quality and excellent price. Not cheap but good quality of ingredients and big portions. Average wine lists and Cocktails as well. We got excellent service that definitely bring us back. We also want to try rooftop next time as well. Valet parking at front but not hard to find street parking at all.Wait!!! We love gelato ice cream here too.
