ARTHOUSE

Great pre-show spot to meet up and enjoy great food. We stopped here before a theatre show next door and loved all the variety of table share apps, good drinks, and flavorful foods. Loved the fried pickles and my hot chicken sandwich was huge and so flavorful. Looking for a good meetup spot before a show this place is perfect! Loved the way it was decorated too.

Fried pickles were a pleasant surprise with their light airy batter. The wings were really good. Placed looked empty at first but it’s because everyone was at the food truck festival. Chill vibes and our waitress was nice and attentive.

Went here before a show at the Paramount since it’s right next-door. Very fun place, friendly staff, good energy level. Food was good. We had the butter burger with mac & cheese on the side. We had the fried rice balls for an appetizer and they were different but tasty especially with the honey mustard dip that comes with. They have some really fun cocktails. We tried the art house old-fashioned, and the twilight tiki. The twilight tiki was very tasty and a beautiful shade of purple. Came with a little flower in it for a garnish. Lovely. The servers were very aware that a lot of the patrons needed to be out in time for the play to start and were good about having the bill ready and making that happen. It’s a very loud and busy place which makes it a little hard to talk to the people you’re with, but all in all a very upbeat & fun place to go. They are even open late after the show for people that want to eat later when it’s less crowded. Would definitely recommend!

Found this place on Google maps as we were driving to Chicago and decided to make a dinner stop. I'm so glad we did! The chargrilled oysters were a delicious reminder of our hometown. The Mozzarella sticks & fried pickles were the perfectly cooked (cheese & pickles all still inside; no just breading bites). The pub burger was amazing as well! You can't go wrong with a stop here! Also, our waitress, Maia, was fantastic!

Post-theater today we went to Arthouse that took over Stolp Island restaurant. It was our 1st time dining here. Our server was Kristen, who was attentive and personable. She provided very good service. Also the other staff who filled our water glasses and took away empty plates provided good service, too. We ordered cocktails and they were very good. Hubby had an old-fashioned and I had the clover club. Mine was pretty in pink! Hubs and I shared half dozen char-broiled oysters to start. Delicious flavor although a couple were the size of a dime where other oysters filled the shell. They weren’t consistent. We also shared the fried pickles. These were amazing and a generous portion. They were light and airy, the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, my husband had the steakhouse burger, with mushrooms and hollandaise. It was cooked to the perfect medium rare. I had the lobster toast. The lobster was served on focaccia with avocado, tomato and an aïoli. This sandwich had too much bread for the skimpy lobster provided. Disappointing. The restaurant itself has a nice bar area and a dining room with both high tops and low top tables. We sat at an extremely small table for two that we had to k
