West Town Tavern
American, comfort food tagged West Town, restaurant Chicago
West Town Tavern 1329 W. Chicago Ave. 312.666.6175 On Chicago and Throop Avenue, this restaurant doles out fine food—sans the pretentiousness. Perhaps, it’s the pepper-crusted beef tenderloin drizzled in a zinfandel reduction, accompanied by garlicky, cheddar-scalloped potatoes that keep regulars returning for more. For others, it’s possibly the comforting respite of creamy mushroom-leek risotta, shrouded by pan-seared diver sea scallops. On the lighter side of indulgences, the potato-crusted tilapia served with jasmine rice assures satiation. Whatever the attraction factor is, proprietors, Susan and Drew Goss have the elixir for dishing out consistency: Exceptional food and attentive service. Between the top-quality food and equitable service, the Chicago restaurant is an unpretentious presentation of exposed brick, bedecked in esoteric artwork and cherry wood like flooring. There’s no shortage of palate-pleasing alternatives. Whether one’s in the mood for the catch of the day, steak, or pork, this west side joint interprets each course with every epicurean lover in mind.
