   Staff incredibly nice and helpful. Went to dinner at Dusek's before the Built to Spill show. Valet parking totally worth it. Our waiter asked if we were going to show, showed us where to go to Thalia Hall directly from the restaurant and offered to keep any leftovers for us to take home after show. Crispy wings hot, simply spiced (salt pepper and sugar) and out of this world. Fish and chips done with perch (I think), delicious even cold the next day. The show was unforgettable, really really great. A special night out.

    Keish was AMAZING!! They made our night so special, and they were super knowledgeable about all the things on the menu and everything having to do with Dusek’s! Will absolutely be back! Thank you Keish and Dusek’s for making my husband’s birthday the perfect night !!

    The steak sandwich is the best! You have to try it. I also had oysters, chicken wings and mussels which were also excellent. Get a good potion of mussels too!

    This atmosphere here was great. The service was was fine and unobtrusive but also not helpful (the waiter describe a pasta dish as having mushrooms and "some other stuff" in it). But the food was surprisingly bad. The steak sandwich was greasy and as if from a fast food restaurant. The trout salad was bland fish over chopped lettuce and not much else--both visually unappealing and bland. Our desert was a still half frozen cream puff with microwaved chocolate to dip it in. I would not recommend eating here and we will not be back.

    The food was exceptional matched by the service. We went for dinner. The restaurant had soft lighting that made it feel warm and welcoming. We had the mussels which were fantastic. The service was superb. Our waiter was accommodating and friendly. The cocktails were well balanced. The experience for the price point is exceptional for any part of Chicago.

    Great experience. Delicious food and drink. Very friendly and attentive wait staff. Menu is seasonal, maybe monthly. We sampled a spinach dip in a bread bowl, endive salad, and fish and chips. All were great. We particularly liked the flavor of the fish a chips. If a drawback, it was a little bit loud and some folks standing inside waiting for a concert at Thalia hall. However, it was not too bothersome. The wait staff was really great. They were nice and very attentive. I would joke that I'd take a sip of water and it would be refilled.

    Never been to Dusek’s and wanted to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my wife. We didn’t want to do the whole “dress up suit and dress and heels” adventure so I found Michelin star Dusek’s as “New American.” I decided to give it a shot and they did not disappoint. The food was awesome, the service was top notch as well. They had a snaffu with a tapped keg and it took a little too long to their standards to get my drink out and comped it without even being prompted. I made sure the waitress saw that in her tip because you don’t get that kind of service any where else. Anybody reading this, come here for any reason, you won’t be disappointed

    Went before a show at Thalia. The place looks and is described as a “tavern” and the vibe is upscale bar for sure - unfortunate the service is inconsistent ranging from slow to “did they forget about us” - the menu is spartan - highlights include the eggplant ricotta appetizer, the sourdough, the trout, the burger, and the carrot cake. The other apps are…odd - which is probably the way to describe much of the dining experience: very small portions or a menu striving for higher end fine dining…it’s just a misfit for the place and what it is best at: being the pre-show for a concert venue which is best when it’s casual and comforting.

    This was one of the most unexpected, BEST dinners I've had in a long time! Truly! 10/10 recommend the sweet & sour eggplant appetizer. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! My smoked trout caesar salad was also to die for. Also loved the "sour" cocktail so very much.

    Valentine’s Day was 360 for two. Service was friendly but highly inefficient and easily overwhelmed. Not sure who was managing the restaurant seemed like more hostesses than wait staff. Red flag: hostess told us to grab our own menus. Too bad been going to Dusek’s since it opened and last visit was precovid.
