• Sable's fireplace provides Chicagoans with a warm sentiment, proving sometimes it's mind over matter. Sable's mixologists always manage to shake up something new and seasonal.

• Irish coffee lovers, once you get a taste of bartender Mony Bunni's toddy from Sable's winter menu, it will be hard to go back to the standard whiskey blend. Try by ordering the Battle of Black Water.

• Irish coffee lovers, order the Battle of Black Water. Once you get a taste of this hot toddy from the winter menu, it will be hard to go back to the standard whiskey blend.

  by Tyler M.

  
  

• Everything! We came to celebrate my birthday so we got to try everything-my fav were the cheese curds with spicy ketchup, deviled eggs, poutine, and the lamb entree!

  by Zee A.

  
  

• While the scallops were deliciously spicy and oversized, my friend notes they could've come with a side. This is the large portion, FYI.

  by Sexy LF

  
  

• With half- and full plates on the menu you can sample a few different dishes. I loved the beef sliders--perfectly grilled onions on top.

  by Sexy LF

  
  

• chicken & waffles

  by Danjie Xuan

  by Mark Wong

  by Kenney M.

  
  

• Their head bartender Mike Ryan honed his skills at Violet Hour so you're getting the same experience without the commute, the wait and the rules.

  by AFAR Media

  
  

• Cocktails are so good that they detract from the food, which benefits from less scrutiny. As mere companions to the cocktails, those sliders are better than fine.

  by Time Out Chicago

  
  

• The list goes on, but the takeaway with any of these dishes is the same: The modern restaurant that Sable is trying to be in print is not, in fact, what materializes on the plate.

  by Time Out Chicago

  
  

• You are going to get one finely made cocktail. Head Bartender Mike Ryan has curated a list of over 25 original cocktails in addition to a fine list of classic cocktails.

  by Raul R.

  by Roosevelt Collection

  
  

• Ask for the 30 page spirits list, which is rarely offered or present on the bar top. It's encyclopedic, and the only way to appreciate this HUGE back bar.

  by Kyle M.

  by Eric M.

• Have Fred mix you a Pegu Club if you're a gin lover.

  by Cindy A

  by Ian B.

  
  

• Gotta ask for Nate he's the man that rules the bar with the handlebar stache.

  by Derek B.

  
  

• Swanky yet (relatively) reasonable lunch spot and bar in Streeterville/River North, located in the Hotel Palomar. Good stuff: Peccarino and sausage flatbread, fried chicken sandwich.

  by Kathryn Y.
