What Visitors Say
“People say this restaurant serves delicious short ribs, beef medallions, and cauliflower appetizer. They also highlight the attentive service and the convenient location for theatergoers. Other reviews mention the food can be overcooked.”
We enjoyed a really nice meal before we went to see a concert at Playhouse Square, Straight No Chaser. Kato did a wonderful job as she worked the bar and waited tables. We had the cauliflower appetizer and Braised short ribs for dinner. Everything was delicious! It was a great space to be before a concert and Kato did a wonderful job. We would recommend stopping by for anyone who is downtown. We will be back!
3 months agoIf I could give zero stars I would. I have attached a picture of my “spinach dip” that had no spinach and cheese was not melted. I tried to mix it up and it was so hard the chips were breaking. Someone else didn’t like their food at the table and before I could speak up about my food the waiter walked away and never gave me the chance to say anything. As it was sitting on the table she still never asked me how it was because you can look at and see it was nasty. There was an older lady walking about asking people how their food and skip over our table. I am highly disappointed. 10/10 would NOT recommend.
5 months agoLet’s just start with the bad and get it out of the way. Ordered the New York Strip cooked medium with mashed potatoes and sub extra mashed potatoes. As you can see from the photos that the strip I got looked like it was ran over by a steam roller, cooked for 5 hours in 500* oven. Had no flavor, the Demi glacé had no flavor, and the mashed potatoes had a weird after taste. I mentioned this to the waitress and she was apologetic about it. I ordered the French onion soup for an appetizer and it was pretty good. I ended up reordering something and got a burger instead. Requested medium, came out well done but was pretty decent. The fries were good as well. Not sure if this happened to be an off day or what, but other reviews showed decent looking steaks. I wouldn’t come here again.
a year agoI had a great experience at Ghost Light Restaurant. The service was excellent, and the waitress Kato was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, and I really enjoyed every bite. The drink, which was the house specialty, was well-prepared, and the Kato did a fantastic job in making it. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the dining experience even better. Overall, it’s a wonderful place with great service, tasty food, and well-crafted drinks. I’d definitely visit again!
a year agoThis place is great!! 4 of us are there on Valentines Day. We all got something different and it was all delicious. Server was fun and engaged. Food was excellent. Short ribs were best in town. Beef medallions were solid. Executive chef came out to say hello. It worked perfectly for theater goers. We will all be going back again! Well done!!
