"We waited three months for our first reservation at this Croatian spot in the West Loop. Rose Mary has been booked since before it even opened, which isn’t surprising considering this place is from a popular Top Chef winner and in a popular neighborhood. But what did surprise us is that this hyped-up spot is also a great restaurant. You’ll find dishes like crni rizot that tastes like the risotto was made with stock from the tears of a hundred lobsters (that’s a compliment), a plate of cevapi with sausages that are perfect for sharing, and incredible pastas. And despite every table being filled, you won’t get seated 45 minutes past your reservation time, feel rushed through your dinner, or need to form a search party to find your server when you’re ready to leave. Which, by your last course, will be never." - adrian kane
