Delicious food, fantastic service, and a lovely intimate space that's perfect for any date or special occasion. Both the wine and cocktail programs are top-notch: be sure to grab a glass or two with your meal.

Great seafood oriented tapas style dining. The best basque cake ever and kick butt anchovy and boquerones dishes. The roasted mushrooms and the little gem salad courses were excellent. Liked several of the new dishes.

One of the most outstanding restaurants around, they put an immense amount of pride in their food and they care greatly about their guests and it def shows...

This place was amazing! First and foremost, would love to mention the really low key vibe this place has. Tucked below the sidewalk, the dining room is extremely intimate, and paired with bright walls and paintings, you feel as though you're transported to the coast of Spain. The menu is a traditional tapas menu, so you'll want to choose a few plates to share. For a table of two, we did one plate from the first course, three from the second, and one from the main course. The food was great and everything we were hoping it would be. End your dinner with the butter cake. I definitely recommend it.

The best, impeccable, most personable service & all food and drinks were phenomenal. This is one of my new favorite restaurants of all time. The...

So this place had numerous glowing reviews, which caught my eye for a new foodie destination. But, I was especially charmed by the few poor ones sprinkled in as they had the most colorfully virulent retorts that I've ever seen. Due to this combination of patrons' admiration and the owner's staunch defense, I knew I had to try this place! "Cocktails...food, so how were they???" Both ASTOUNDINGLY IMPRESSIVE while inconspicuously positioned around 4am industry bars. Honestly, this is one of the most satisfying dinners I've ever had at a restaurant in my life, and I actively look for such experiences. The Admin, Saturn, Sour Grapes, and Back Forty were the tried cocktails between a friend and me and were all very dialed in on balancing flavor profiles. You could give any of these a try and be satisfied (Admin will become my spicy go-to admittedly). As for the food, the Suzuki Bass Crudo and olives were amazing bites of food for each of us; the croquettes slayed in savoriness; and the Spanish tortilla was the best thing I've eaten in memory since I moved to Chicago a few years back. You hear me?! THE.BEST.THING. To the ambitious and toiling owner(s), you have done nothing short of greatness! Thank you for betting on yourself and opening up this restaurant, so that underlings such as myself can have some of the best and most memorable food/cocktail experiences in a city with many options promising to provide the same (oftentimes much more expensive and with much less substance). Seriously...SUPERLATIVE. Like it or not, I'll be back! :)

A true hidden gem! A very small space with roughly 6 tables and a roughly 8 person bar. The vibe was very intimate, which I loved. Service was great, and...

We've been in Chicago now going on five months. We've have gone to forty different restaurants in that time frame. Most have been excellent. A few have been...

This place was great. Awesome food and really liked the different flavors. The sliders were great and the scallops were an absolute home run!

We first saw mfk on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and we are so happy we did! Amazing food, amazing service, and a great date night in the city for us. I highly recommend!
