  • It was a wonderful birthday celebration . The service was attentive but not overwhelming. The meal was created to perfection. A must try is the onion dip.... best large portioned appetizer ever.

  • Nic + Junior's in River North offers a creative fusion of Italian comfort food and Brazilian flavors, with subtle South African influences. The restaurant blends seasonal Midwestern ingredients with global inspiration, resulting in unique dishes like rigatoni vodka with Calabrian chili and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. The space feels both lively and intimate, with a trendy front bar that's perfect for happy hour and a more refined dining room ideal for dinner or special occasions. Known for its welcoming hospitality, creative small plates, and tasting menu options, Nic + Junior's delivers a vibrant yet cozy dining experience. Located near Wabash and Michigan Avenue, it's a great spot for groups, date nights, or drinks and bites with friends, offering a full bar, happy hour specials, takeout, and options for vegan and gluten-free diners.
