The Scene – Lots of woodwork and dim lighting set a mellow mood; booths line one wall, and small tables are scattered in the back. Voices are low, with no shouting across tables necessary--a Saturday night rarity in this town. – – The Food – Mostly comfort food, dinners come nostalgically close to Mom's specialties: chicken pot pie, pot roast, pork chops with sweet potato casserole and blackened catfish hit home. Lemon garlic chicken is juicy and flavorful, and salmon au gratin is tasty but comes with bones (to our surprise). With 12 beers on tap--most of which are…

Great comfort food for a bar
by ColleenChicago at Citysearch
I have been here countless times. The food is very good, no it's not gourmet but one wouldnt expect that while eating in a bar. For bar food, it is excellent. The music is loud, but fun tunes. Service is friendly, and overall pretty good, Have the Stuffed turkey sandwich.
- Pros: comfort food
- Cons: loud

BAD FOOD, LIKE YOUR LAZY MOM WOULD MAKE / HORRIBLE SERVERS / NO MANAGEMENT
by HIGHEXPECTATIONS14798 at Citysearch
I recently hosted a party for 12 people ( A 21st birthday for my sister ) at Silver Cloud because on their website it shows that they cater and hold large group parties so, I thought it would be more fun than your typical resteraunt. I set the reservation for 7:30 and arrived at 7:15 and to my suprise no table had been set for us ( 12 people on a cold wednesday night was deffinately the largest table and im sure we ended up having the largest bill of the night). We waited for everything and had an arguementative waitress ( she also lied about being able to turn the channel on the TV ). When it was time for desert, we asked for cake with a candle and some other things. Our waitress brought out all the desert except for the cake with candle and then 5 min later came out with a candle. She forgot things throughout the night and seemed to be flustered when we would ask for things even though our table took up 1/3 of the dining room ( she shouldnt have had many other customers and we heard the other staff people talking about how they kept seeing us look around for her )When we left for the night I wanted to say something to the manager because it was more awefull that I can put into words so I casually said something to him ( nothing rude ) and as im walking out the door our waitress comes up to me and says we are the worst table she has EVER had. I took what she said to the manager and he made excuses ( the best being that I shouldnt expect to much from them becase its Bucktown and theyre casual) The food is awefull, my mom never made bad food like that, save yourself the trip and eat at the closest school cafeteria.
- Cons: bad for big groups and anyone with a pallet

great brunch
by wackyjack at Citysearch
Silver cloud is great for those Sunday mornings when you are a mess from the night before and can?t wait to have a really fat day. It all starts off with a snazzy bloody mary that?s basically a meal in a glass. Then after a huge eggs benedict (with tatter totts yuuuum) and a side of mac and cheese or pancakes, depending on your mood, you are basically in a serious food coma. It's soooo good and totally worth the calories.
- Pros: great bloody marys
