By the way -- it's very obvious management doesn't care about their customers. No one responds to any of these messages and neither Bavette's nor Hogsalt (the company that owns Bavette's) has a contact form on their website. You c

Food was really really good, service was excellent and Im pretty sure the decor was nice. I couldn't tell though, felt like i was sitting in a dark dark closet. Oh did I mention it was not well lit and also hard to see cuz it was so dark. Im tak
I am a server myself, and I take hospitality seriously.
Making people feel welcome and then feeding them well - it's a thoughtful process, from start to finish. Bavette's gets an 11 outta 10 from me and my brother. The food was delicious, no misses - all hits (goat cheese dip, oysters, truffle m

Bavette's is always a good time.
Reservations require some pre-planning but so worth it. The steaks are flavorful and the sides don't disappoint either. This is our go to for out of town guests or any locals looking for a steakhouse rec.

I was so excited to finally experience Bavette's after hearing so many of my friends rave about it! It was tough to get a reservation, but I managed to snag one to celebrate my birthday. We arrived about an hour early hoping to grab a drink at t

My favorite restaurant to visit when in Chicago! The steak is out of this world juicy. Service and atmosphere are excellent, too! I highly recommend. A+++
Real experience!
I had a great time eating here! Each item was flavorful, fresh, and genuinely represented Italy on a platter. We were immediately made to feel welcome by the welcoming staff, and the comfortable setting added to the enjoyment of the evening. We can&#

The service was excellent, though a bit slower since we were seated on the patio. We ordered the ribeye, Brussels sprouts, and truffled mac and cheese, all delicious, and really enjoyed the Lyonnaise salad as well. The indoor ambience looked beautifu
I went to Bavette's to celebrate my sisters birthday.
We were a party of 4, 2 Black couples. Our reservation was for 8 or 9, it was late so initially I gave our waitress some grace since I can imagine it had been a long day at such a busy restaurant and I noticed attitude from the jump. I am admittedly
Delicious meal.
Highly recommend the hamburger. It's absolutely scrumptious! Worth the effort to fight to get a reservation.

I used to go to Bavette's each time I visited Chicago (about four+ times a year). No more. I was waiting at the bar for a single seat and someone left, but knowing that it was "first come, first served" I ceded the seat to a man who

P2 Sourdough Bread: Delicious! I regret not ordering the large portion! The sourdough flavor is pronounced, soft yet chewy, and it was served warm! The more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes! P3 Dry-Aged Bone-in New York Strip: I was a little wo
We had reservations for a Saturday evening.
I think we had to book 30 days in advance. We walked into the restaurant and it was a classic downtown Chicago restaurant and bar, lots of wood and crowded. We were seated in the down stairs basement area. We ordered filets, bone marrow, sour dough
Phenomenal experience.
All the reviews about the bottom floor are legit. Excellent service and food was on point! Brought our 8 year old and 10 year old twins (well behaved) and they enjoyed dishes from the regular menu. Drinks were tasty and dessert was gone in a second.
This is a must try in Chicago.
It's a Hogsalt hospitality group restaurant so it has the same ambiance. Dimly lit with good music. Had the crab cakes to start. It is very fluffy with a harder baker putter exterior with decent seasoning. Followed that up with steak. The filet

The side dishes are mostly good, the dessert is pretty good.
However the main course is horrible- the $100 dry-aged 20 OZ bone-in ribeye not only dry but also tiny, the flavor is blend too. It's not much better than the $25 steak at the Valois. The bone marrow is dry and flavorless.
My fav!!! Wow delicious food.
... Juan and alex in the kitchen were awesome. Enjoyed a bday dinner here and have dreams of the items served here !! Great service... Lovely ambiance.... 10/10

There are no shortages of good steakhouses in Chicago and Bavette's ranks high on that list. I had a delicious filet cooked to perfection. The ambiance is outstanding and reminded me of an old school steakhouse.
Absolutely FANTASTIC restaurant! The food is prepared
Absolutely FANTASTIC restaurant! The food is prepared superbly from the bread to desserts.
Other restaurants need to take notes.
When fresh and well prepared food is combined with respectful service and incredible ambiance, you create a loyal customer base that will pay a reasonable premium to dine at your establishment. For this reason Bavette's is my favorite restauran
Reservation System has turned a Great Restaurant into a Nightmare!
Amazing Ambiance, Phenomenal Food, and unfortunately the WORST Reservation System I've ever used. Three separate reservations now did I lose my reservation while putting in the confirmation code. It doesn't hold your table for the 20 seco

there's not a week that goes by where i don't reminisce on this meal. this place is jam packed with tables, booths, and bar seating, yet designed in a way to make your party feel intimate and away from others. the atmosphere was dark, cozy
This place is above and beyond all of your expectations.
We had early reservations (3:30, as that was all we could get). We were seated in a booth on the bottom floor dining room (very dark and a great old school steak house vibe). We started with cocktails. I had the Lion's Tail and my husband had th
Only downside is how hard it is to get a reservation.
All these damn bots instant booking reservations at 8AM a month out. Food's incredible though. The bread to start was delicious in its own right. My wife and I split a salad which came with some superb bacon and an egg on top, delicious. We
Really good food and extremely attentive, smooth service.
Manager all over the room. Love to see it!
Special occasions dinner.
First time sitting in the parlor and it was definitely speak easy vibes. Server was nice and informative. We started with the stuffed crab avocado, it was super tasty especially with the thick cut bacon, really enjoyed it together. I ordered the prim

One word: INCREDIBLE! I visited Bavette's for my birthday while in Chicago, and it exceeded every expectation. Even on a Wednesday night, the place was packed--so definitely make a reservation. I was lucky to snag a single seat at the downstairs
An unbelievable experience for my first trip to Chi-town.
(Sorry for the delay but this was in late May of 2023). But, nonetheless. I keep talking about this place to friends and finally buckled down to write my review. They took a last minute reservation for my 50th bday after another competitor screwed
The best ribeye steak I've had in Chicago.
The atmosphere is very well done - soft lighting and a classy interior. The service was excellent. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

We sat downstairs and it was such a lovely, private feeling space for a special occasion. We started with delicious oysters. I love that you can order as few as you want (we each just had two--one of each type). The beef tartare was delicious. We ord

This was the best meal I had in Chicago.
The vibes of the old school steakhouse were perfection, dripping in crystal chandeliers and red booths with waiters in tuxedos. Our server wished me "happy birthday" no less than 15 times and goddamn if that didn't feel special. The

The best burger of my life! Server was awesome- she paid attention to food allergies thoroughly. We enjoyed her taking a few extra minutes to chat during the course of our meal.
I've heard wonderful things about this steakhouse for years.
My husband and I decided to finally make it happen. With a newborn and a 3 1/2 year-old. Brave? Insane? Maybe both. The restaurant was sure to let us know ahead of time that they allow children, but do not provide special seating for them. Not a prob
Service waa excellent.
Downstairs way too dark and freezing. NY strip was chewy but management graciously comped it. Ribeye mostly fat so only got a few bites. Small selection of meats without bones. Sourdough bread the best part of the meal. Corn and mushrooms sides were
The salads were the best part of the dinner.
Went with two friends. Our salads were wonderful and the atmosphere was great, but the steak and sides were a bit of a let down. I would not go back again.
Almost Perfect
The Hits: The steaks are cooked perfectly, the roasted chicken is very tasty, and the sourdough bread is truly exceptional. The service team is a major asset—very friendly and efficient.The Miss: The branzino was a letdown and didn't match the

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PatientCloth46, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* PatientCloth46 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PatientCloth46 for any questions Peter may have as PatientCloth46 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PatientCloth46 now uses their connections at Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PatientCloth46 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PatientCloth46 receives the $5 reward which is credited to PatientCloth46's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
