Tavern on Rush

i just came here to grab a quick drink & snack while walking around downtown. it seemed to be the most popular place, and fairly casual elegant. the prices weren’t too bad (in the bar), and the food was actually pretty good.

Came here for an afernoon drink and snack so I didn’t get to try the entrees, but the burgers looked pretty big and tasty. It’s near Rush/Division and right on the corner so if you can get a window seat or sidewalk one (weather permitting), it’s a nice people watching.

I dined on two different occasions. The first time, I had the petite fillet Mignon, with a side of au gratin spinach and a twice baked potato. The steak was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious! The twice baked potato was good-but not what I was expecting, it was very dense and more like a potato bake or casserole-it was not at all light and fluffy like had thought it would be. The second time I ate there, I went for brunch. I had the fried egg sandwich-a triple stacked sandwich with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and of course a fried egg-I also added cheese. It came with a heaping side of delicious fries. Add a mimosa on top of that and it was perfect! Of course what really made my experience noteworthy was the amazing service. The second time I went in, I was having a rather unlucky day. The wonderful managers, Charlie and Benny went above and beyond to ensure that my bad day was turned into a great one. Our bartender, Kenn was awesome, and the rest of the wait staff and hostesses were extremely sympathetic to my situation. I will definitely be returning to Rush the next time I’m in Chicago.
