I feel sorry I booked this restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday with her friends. With this pricing, I have better options in the city with similar interior designs but much better service and food. If you are looking for a place to take IG photos and hang out with friends, it?s good for you. Also, the waiter was rude when we asked for the check, he threw the receipt to the table, and we were shocked maybe he was in a bad mood or had arguments with someone else before serving us. We did not complain at the moment, and we thought this restaurant reheated the food sourced from some factory like the fast-food restaurants, and maybe they are those places for alcohol only (quality of food is not a priority) but found out it?s not what they advertise on their website. The next time you’re in the neighborhood, you have to visit.The pizza tasted like microwaved, not crisp but very cold, hard and dry, wasted the handcraft dough as they mentioned on their website Fries are cold and soggy, cheeses are cold, tasted like a leftover from other tables. We realized our mistake immediately, haha.) And all the navy, yellow and stripes: prepfection. I love that the ceiling is one giant skylight, making it feel like summer year-round, and that the staff is dressed in navy gingham shirts from J.Crew.

It’s obviously supposed to transport you to California, but I’m personally taken back to the Shore every time I set foot in Summer House.

And while we try to go to “new” places as often as possible, Summer House is one of those restaurants we come back to again and again. Summer House Santa Monica (Chicago) Lunch Menu. (A $7 bill for dinner? Yes! We’ll take that.) Every once in a while, though–usually during laid-back weekends–we splurge, and go somewhere a bit more upscale. We mostly cook at home to save money, and use the website Small Tabs to find stellar deals on pub grub around the city. Mitch and I try to be really good about going out, as we’re looking to buy our first home in the next year or so. And while I’m working on putting together a comprehensive list, I thought I’d share some photos taken at my very favorite restaurant in the Windy City: Summer House Santa Monica in Lincoln Park. But we’re back up and running, my friends! :)Īnyway, I get a lot of emails about New York City and Chicago restaurant recommendations. Needless to say, Kelly in the City took the back burner, and life (and sleep) took priority. (We went to Tarantino’s in Lincoln Park for appetizers, and afterwards, Mitch sang karaoke–Bruce Springsteen’s “Blinded by the Light”–at Shoe’s Pub. I was in stitches!) I was out of the apartment working on projects for most of Thursday, and last night was date night, as Mitch and I hadn’t really seen each other since last week.

(So much fun to see Jeremy! We went to the iO Theater to see improv. There was the drive from the East Coast back to Chicago, of course, and then we had one of our very best friends from New York come to stay. I haven’t been the best blogger over the past few days.
