A Wonderful Experience

by juanbossanova at Citysearch

Time and again, I have found Cab's to be a wonderfully delightful experience. Upon entering, one is struck at once with both the genuine friendliness of the staff and the chic, modern decor. One is quickly enveloped in the festive mood, where laughter and cheery conversation flow freely over tasty appetizers, main courses and wines. The ecclectic menu is a delight to ones tastebuds, often surprising with an astute justapositioning of flavors to great effect. Clearly, Chef Luis Ayllon is one of Chicagoland's best kept secrets!

• Pros: Great food, Excellent Winelist, Friendly atmosphere

Incredible Wine List

by eriklars at Citysearch

The wine list has a terribly small upcharge from the wine store next door. Incredible selection (it's more of a book than a list) at great prices.

Menu is good, with recent changes to the dessert menu really making it more well rounded. Comfortable for individuals to dine at the bar and space upstairs for larger groups. Groups of up to 8 can be seated easily in the main dining area.

• Pros: Wine Value, Extensive Wine List

A Hidden Gem!

by tr88W at Citysearch

What an entirely remarkable dining experience. Don't miss this one, you'll want to come back! This is one of those "A-List" restaurants that we often think of first when deciding where to eat.

• Pros: Great Wine, Friendly Staff, Sensational Menu
• Cons: Noisy Upstairs

Very Hip and In the Burbs

My wife and I have been frequenting Cab's for four years or so, and it is always my choice for great wine selection, excellent meal and always made to feel special.

• Pros: Excellent Wine Select, Easy Parking, Welcoming
• Cons: Wish I lived closer

unbelievable food & wine list

by earleyscott at Citysearch

Cab's has some of the best food that I have ever had. Chef Luis has mastered fish and how to prepare it. His sauces are outstanding, the flavors that he incorporates together are amazing. The wine list is nothing to sneeze at, it is over 14 pages long, with over 4 pages dedicated to just Cabernet Sauvignons. They have over 25 different wines by the glass too. If you like beer, this place has a selection of micro beers that is not found very often, even in bars.
