Editorial Review for Wild Onion – by Amy Goetzman

In Short
The Wild Onion is styled after traditional Chicago bars, although you may not get that until you see the Sears Tower Onion Rings and Wrigley Field Pastrami next to the steak Diane and Cajun walleye on the menu. What's more obvious is that this place is an Esquire-reading, microbrew-savoring, ESPN-loving man's haven. It's warm and surprisingly elegant, with exposed-brick walls, a Frank Sinatra soundtrack and booths overlooking Grand Avenue.

I have never had a more horrible experience with service. I was degraded and insulted by a bartender because of their dislike for another person.

While everyone in the restaurant was staring at the television.... I got the fish sandwich and it tasted like they just put a dead with with some lettuce on a bun. Then my friend gave me some of her pasta and it was so sweet I could not swallow it. My friends liked it but for me a big N O!

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: Food.
