Diamond Hook - Chicago

The dining experience was outstanding and offered great value. Everything was fresh, and the presentation was exquisite.

The menu has changed, but it's not updated online. Chef Theny was able to accommodate our special order. The food was delicious, and the cake was served hot! Annie was an excellent server. We will definitely be returning!

We read several positive reviews about this restaurant, so we decided to celebrate our anniversary there. However, the experience was underwhelming. The atmosphere felt lacking, and the food didn’t live up to expectations. We ordered the Hawaiian ahi and crabcakes, which, according to our waiter, should have been excellent. Unfortunately, the food was bland and poorly presented. The crispy Brussels sprouts were overly greasy and far from crispy. Overall, we were very disappointed and won’t be returning.

We always try to support local businesses and book a reservation based on the reviews we have seen. but we were really disappointed. the D.R was almost empty and this should have been our first note. 1. service do not measure particularly friendly and could use more trining. it wasn't busy and we had to look for him a few times. 2. ambiance terrible, but at least it was calm so that you could converse. but it was very clean. 3. eating the branzino was frozen, not fresh and overcooked and very dry. I was okay. the portion size was generous. the grinding time could use more spicy (no more salt). we gave him a bad evaluation because the entry was very badly illuminated. our older friend could not see any of the steps and take a crash on the way. When we all tried to help her, I noticed the waiter outside saw what happened and didn't even stop and ask if she was okay. he looked away. I have to think about it.

We wanted to like this restaurant given it’s proximity to the movie theater. Unfortunately they are significantly understaffed and the food was so-so at best. Husband’s fish was blah and served alone on the plate. Won’t be going back.
