The Waterfront Cafe
Chicago
レビュー
We waited about 30 minutes in line on an overcast Friday night, and the kitchen actually paused orders when we were two people away so they could catch up. Totally understandable if they’re slammed, but unfortunately the food didn’t justify the wait. I ordered the “jerk chicken nachos,” and I’m still not entirely convinced they were jerk chicken or nachos. The chicken wasn’t grilled or visibly seasoned like the jerk chicken I expected, there was no melted cheese to tie everything together, and the whole dish ate more like chicken salad served over tortilla chips than actual nachos. The pineapple also was a liability to the dish rather than complementing it. On top of that, we were eating outside while pigeons aggressively circled the tables, which didn’t exactly improve the experience. The atmosphere was lively and I appreciate that they’re clearly popular, but I’d try something else next time.
Atmosphere 10/10. Summer vibes & music...salad just alright, but it's nice to relax here. I recommend. Wine in a can was good.
Really enjoyed my visit here! Food was excellent, our server was extremely nice and it has a really nice lakefront view. It is a bit pricey but worth it.
Waterfront is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Frank is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing coconut crab cakes and jerk chicken nachos. Must come back. 10/10.
