Port and Park Bistro & Bar

I’ve walked past Port & Park a hundred times and decided to give it a try for dinner! Their menu has a wide variety of food and it was hard to choose because everything looked so good. I went with their Shrimp Risotto Special and it was very good! The risotto and shrimp had very unique but tasty flavors. The outside patio is very cute and felt peaceful despite being right next to Irving Park. I would love to go back another time for brunch or appetizers!

I’ll ask again - why did I wait so long to come here? Passed it a million times and thought it was cute but never stopped in. So glad I did. Their happy hour is excellent! $8 for select apps and then wine for $7 and $8 classic cocktails. Excellent food! Their bartender Tommy is amazing and imparts the best customer service and conversation. Will be coming here for dinner soon and maybe brunch! Check this spot out!

My best friend and I came to visit Chicago this weekend and came to the Port & Park Bistro and it didn’t disappoint. We had heard that Chicago was known for their food and the Port & Park proved that. We came from brunch and had bottomless mimosas and our service was phenomenal. The food came out and we were even more pleased. It was amazing! The food for both of us was SO good. I got the avocado toast, she got the california frittata, and we shared chocolate chip pancakes. As someone who normally doesn’t care enough to leave reviews for places, I had to for this place because it was genuinely so good! Definitely come for brunch if you are visiting!!!!!

Why did l wait so long to come here? Such a great place in the neighborhood. Delicious food, comfortable ambiance, and wonderful friendly service. Vito is the best! It makes such a difference to feel genuinely welcomed. Glad l didn’t just walk by today and finally came in!

Port and Park Bistro offers a fantastic dining experience with a menu full of delicious options. I had the pleasure of trying their steak and fries, which were cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Another standout was the Moroccan couscous salad, a refreshing and vibrant dish that paired beautifully with the rest of the meal. There was a small hiccup with my order as they initially forgot to include the salmon with my salad. However, the owner personally apologized, cooked the salmon quickly, and even brought out a complimentary appetizer while I waited. That level of service really made the experience special and showed their commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, the food was excellent, and the attentive service made it a great evening. Highly recommend!

Had the last reservation for Chicago restaurant week and it didn't disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed the lentil soup, P.E.I mussels, middle eastern burrata, lamb chop, shrimp and grits + dessert. Thank you Port and Park, we'll definitely be back. Service was great, Kelsey was awesome! Thank you.

Great place, great food and great service! My wife and I started with a delicious Manhattan and a glass of wine. I ordered the Chicken Milanese which was out of this world. My wife had shrimp tacos that she could not stop talking about. To Top it off, we had Mike the fantastic bartender! He was terrific from the moment we sat down at the bar. He was very welcoming, personable and provided outstanding service. We're looking forward to our next meal there.

The food and the service was absolutely stellar! I love a good neighborhood gem and this one is it for Uptown. Every dish we had was so delicious! The chicken quesadillas appetizer, shrimp risotto dinner, buffalo chicken wrap dinner, cinnamon roll dessert, and cocktails were top tier! It's such a cute and quaint spot.perfect place for a date! My partner and I loved everything! We will be back!
