Gilt Bar Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Beautiful.
Such a beautiful place - both floors, you can't go wrong. The reservations process (there is a hold fee and apparently some tables are held for walk-ins) and the "speakeasy" vs restaurant left us a bit confused, and we almost didn't bother going. We showed up, put in a request and held up a wall by the bar, not knowing whether we'd be waiting 15 minutes or an hour. But once we were led to our table the service and attention that our waitress gave us was unbelievable! Not too much, not too little, always right there when you had a request or question. I believe she was in charge of taking care of the entire "speakeasy" crowd. Amazing. The cocktails were great. I barely remember the food. Ah, but the atmosphere!! Well worth the wait.
Best rigatoni alla vodka EVER (imo)
i’m not exaggerating when I say that Gilt Bar has the best vodka sauce. it is so rich and creamy and full of flavor. The truffle pasta & other creamy pasta (with peas) were amazing as well. I always bring people here when in town & everyone has loved it. Cute photo booth in the basement on the way to the bathroom & the aesthetic in the whole place is amazing. I could not recommend this place enough. Definitely need a reservation if you come on the weekend as it is super busy but I have been once with out one and just waited. They also do take out i and yes it is just as good!
Mediocrity at its Best Combined with Food Poisoning
Visiting Chicago, we had to experience Gilt Bar after all of the rave reviews only to leave feeling rushed and disappointed save for the exceptional energetic ambiance. Ordering the tenderloin steak Tartare was obviously a mistake in an establishment of this nature, as food poisoning persevered shortly after its consumption and having eaten nowhere else that day. I am unfamiliar with this restaurant's preparation methodology of said dish, but it surprisingly arrived at our table in under two minutes from ordering leading the writer to believe that it may have been sitting out on the counter for a while awaiting an order?!? With respect to the pastas, they were really middling bridging on the inedible given the extremely heavy amount of sauce the noodles were swimming in. On the positive side of the equation, the cocktails were exceptional as was the house salad. I do believe that based on the spirited environment that this establishment is worthy of a return engagement with a focus on a more cautious and casual bar fare type food selection such as a burger avoiding like the plague any cuisine that requires a skilled preparation.
good food - little expensive
the food was pretty good and the atmosphere was nice - but i felt it was tooexpensive for the food.
The best dinner!
Had dinner here with my family while on holiday from the UK. Reviews looked good but surpassed my expectations and was the best food we had on our trip. I am coeliac so needed gluten free options which can often mean you are quite limited but plenty of options here and they understood all the cross contamination risks etc. I had the branzino fish which was cooked to perfection. My 18 year old son had the wagyu burger which he said was the best burger he had ever had. We all had fries and they were perfect with a good crunch! Lovely vibe and good service too!
Unhappy Happy Hour
We chose this restaurant based on reviews and being a Michelin restaurant. We were very disappointed in the food and portions. We ordered a chicken slider,meatball slider, onion rings, beer, and wine. The sliders were tiny. For example, one meatball on a bun with no sauce. It was$6.99 and probably cost them 50 cents to make. The onion rings were fine. Overall, the food would get a C- The house wine seemed watered down, and the beer was maybe 10 ounces. We expected a pint. On a positive note, the service was good. We look to try new places, but we won’t return to this one.
Great Martini! Good food.
I'm not entirely sure why Gilt Bar is on the Michelin "Bib Gourmand" list, for whatever that's worth. Still, the food, mostly Italian standards, was very good. The house salad, at $17 is pricey, but we shared it and still had some left to take along. The lettuce was tender and actually clean -- not always a given these days -- with lots of olives and salami tossed in. My wife had the "spicy orecchiette" which was very tasty, albeit a bit greasy. I enjoyed my bucatini with truffles even thought it could have been a bit "trufflier". I will give Gilt props for serving up one of the best martinis I've had in a restaurant in several years. Perfectly dry and chilled and lapping the rim of the glass. Service, overall, was excellent. But they really don't need to be texting you if you're running two minutes late for your reservation. Wait until someone is five or ten minutes behind.
Food and vibes
We came here for dinner and drinks during th Memorial Day weekend. We were seated in a booth by the bar which was great for people watching. I had the mussels, they were phenomenal! The mozzarella sticks were good too especially with their marinara sauce. The service was outstanding, with multiple staff members on the floor ready to assist. Overall, a great experience… don’t forget to check out their speakeasy bar downstairs.
Absolutely Perfect
Was able to snag a spot at the bar in the library downstairs. It's dark, moody, and intimate down there and so incredibly cool (well hot as f, but...). The bartender/server was awesome. Started with a delicious salad, was recommended the Orecchiette, and finished with an amazing chocolate cake. Pretty much a perfect meal all around.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
