Editorial Review for Cuatro – by Robyn Galbos
The Scene
Contemporary and welcoming, this South Loop spot has exposed ceiling beams and ducts, floor-to-ceiling windows and an aquarium behind the bar offering views to the adjacent kitchen. Earthy tones dominate the warmly lit space punctuated by splashes of aqua and vibrant paintings. Anchorhing the room, an ebony bar houses see-and-be-seen types and girls-night-out groups while they wait for tables. Banquettes to the left and nicely spaced booths and tables in the dining areas to the right provide formal seating.
The Food
The Latin American and Caribbean menu offers starters like light , fresh salmon and bay scallop seviche; chunky-creamy roasted corn and potato chowder; and delicate, cilantro-laced tamales filled with chicken and poblano peppers. Entrees include a fall-off-the-bone beer-braised short rib whose richness is offset by a tart tomatillo salsa. Stuffed with poblano peppers and cheese, the golden oven-roasted, bone-in chicken breast has robust flavor. For dessert: delectable Oaxacan chocolate mousse cake.

A large group of friends helped me celebrate my birthday here on a Friday evening and it was an enjoyable experience for everyone. Our waitress was very nice and helpful when it to explaining the menu, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect for a special night out.
Pros: great food, service and atmosphere
Cons: strict "no show" reservation policy

Food was ok, but half the orders were wrong when the food finally came. The manager was rude and didn't want to be bothered with our troubles. Way too expensive for bad service. I will not be going back. They need to take lessons from other restaurants on how to handle situations or they will continue to loose business.
Pros: Parking
Cons: The manager
