I almost can’t put into words how incredible Goosefoot is. Nina and Chris are friendly, warm, and charismatic. You really feel their enthusiasm for food. It’s infectious, and it shows. Everything is top notch. What a treasure and spotlight even among Chicago’s vibrant food scene. Can’t wait to come back!

Chris is passionate and so imaginative. His food is truly the best thing I have ever tasted. Nina and Tanya are wonderful and I really appreciated such tentative service. The dinning area is very intimate and unlike any other restaurant I’ve been to. I cannot wait to experience this again one day. I would love to try the Winter menu as the Fall was so spot on. Thank you for having us, goosefoot, it was such a pleasure and an absolute dream come true. PS the duck stopped me in my tracks and had me in awe
Incredible meal, every course we had was amazing. Chris and Nina are wonderful people and you can feel that they pour their heart and soul into everything that they do. Highly recommend!
Such a cozy family restaurant with an extraordinary chef Chris who is extremely talented and created very unique dishes of unforgettable taste. Nina is an amazing host who makes you feel home right away. I wish I could post the pictures of dishes which look like art. Unfortunately couldn’t figure it out on Google. Maybe will be able to do it.
I've been here several times though just once to the new location and their amazing back patio and each time the experience is exceptional. The owners are so kind and go out of their way to provide the best food, service, and ambiance. The menu changes every so often and wine pairings are also available as well as by the glass. Perfect for date night, outing with friends, and celebrations.
An amazing birthday celebration for our friend Tim! Thanks Chris and Nina😎🍾
Thrilled to have Goosefoot on Lincoln Avenue now. Great addition to the neighborhood. Patio area is very sweet and romantic. Meal was spectacular. Filet melted in my mouth. Service was impeccable.
Response from the ownerHi Samantha,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you and Laura joined us for our loosefoot patio menu experience and had such a memorable evening. It's especially meaningful to hear that you feel goosefoot® is a great addition to the Lincoln Avenue neighborhood.
We're thrilled you enjoyed the romantic patio atmosphere, the filet, and the attentive service. Your kind words mean a great deal to our entire team, and we look forward to welcoming you both back for another spectacular meal soon!
Nina and Chris are absolute masters of their art. Every sense is tingled and addressed as the food takes you on a delightful epicurean adventure. The attention to detail and the selective approach to the menu is note worthy. Tasteful decor that brings out the best of a 100+ year structure complemented by a chic patio. A must visit
