We had to listen to loud screaming through a megaphone for 2 hours. They were protesting Galit and foie gras. This is how we will remember our first wedding anniversary celebration. We were never offered a different table or any sort of compensation for the experience. Galit only offered us to go out a back door when we were ready to leave. I feel more could have been done by the Galit staff to make our time at Galit more enjoyable. They all just pretend that the megaphone screaming isn't happening. No matter how I felt about the quality of service, I was required to pay a 20% tip... Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: $100+

The food was spectacular, the staff lovely, and the location was great. It's nice to see good restaurants in LincolnPark (and not in West Loop). I adored the hummus and the homemade cheese from the appetizer course, the cabbage and rice dish,and the rice pudding dessert (these were from their Restaurant Week menus). Everything we ate was amazing though! They have aregular fixed price menu for dinner that looked amazing, so you should definitely check it out!

Went here with the girlfriend for her birthday. It was our first Michelin star restaurant we've ever tried. Great atmosphere. We sat at the kitchen bar. The fixed menu is easy. Server was really knowledgeable. Wine menu was very uniquewith a lot of middle eastern wines you don't see many places.
