Topolobampo

We try to visit one of Chef Rick's restaurants every time we revisit my home town of Chicago. This past evening we had an interesting and delicious Taste...

If you pay to actually be in th e Library of the Topolobampo I would hope the chef de cuisine is actually there. Ah. No. No Rick Bayless. Namesake at most

For a Michelin star, we expected a little more. We were sat down in the pre-dinner area where we were served drinks and our appetizers. There was a big...

It's gotten very pricy over the years but totally worth it for a special occasion. I've been coming here since the 1990s and it's hard to believe it's still...

Overall we enjoyed the evening - good company and good flavor. But pacing was very strange with waits between courses of around 20min and at least once...

One of my favorite places to eat. The quality of the food is exceptional and everything tastes fresh. Service is great. Even when they're busy and have a packed restaurant, the food still comes out pretty quickly and drinks are never left unfilled.

Can you please not blare music on your external speakers when you’re not even open for business? I work in the office building across the street and your music is remarkably loud and distracting. Please be a good neighbor! 😊 Hey Rick - your restaurant opens at 5p but I am so glad your outdoor speakers are cranked and blaring music at 11am. Your neighbors love you disturbing the peace. Thanks! :-(

The wine and agave pairing included some interesting selections I'd definitely like to buy for home. The restaurant itself is comfortable and well designed. Fantastic food and service.

There are some restaurants you go to for the amazing food and some you go for the awesome experience. I can safely tell you that Topolobampo is an extraordinary place where you'll get both. They started us off in one room where we received our first appetizer style course. Then after completing that course they move you to your dining table where you'll enjoy the remaining courses. The lighting, decorative walls, music, and the staff all came together to make an amazing atmosphere. The themed menu changes every 6 weeks so you'll get something fresh and exciting with each visit. Each course had the perfect portions and packed a lot of flavor. Along with each course, we ordered the "Perfect Pairing" drink selection which lived up to its name. Our pairing expert Stephanie was a complete joy to chat with as she is very knowledgeable of her craft and was willing to take the time to answer any questions we had. We were only in Chicago for a couple days and I am so glad that Topolobampo was a part of our journey. I would highly recommend making it a part of yours as well!

Absolutely amazing. Great food and great service. If you like mezcal I highly recommend getting the agave pairing, I came out with several new mezcal...
