Reviews of La Sirena Clandestina (Restaurant)

J B

Never had a bad meal here! Great place, one of my favorites!!

Susane Marangoni Molina

Good empanadas.

Sujeily Velazquez

I have never been so insulted. As a Latina, this so called "rustic" Brazillian restaurant is a shameful leach which sucks out the culture out of our traditions. Our food is part of our lifestyle and our culture. It brings us together. Somehow La Sirena Clandestina has manage to suck the life out of the culture by exploiting what MATTERS to us. Yet again.

Jocelyn Booker

My favorite place for Brazilian food. I love this place, great food & service. Will surely make a return trip. It has a great atmosphere.

Beatriz Blanco

The atmosphere of this latin infused restaurant is great. This is the perfect spot to meet up with a girlfriend and share a drink and a meal, or go on a romantic date. The portions are perfect for sharing, I'd highly recommend the empanadas and the tres leches dessert.

Wendy Gleiser

Was here With my adult children to celebrate my birthday. Delicious food fun atmosphere in the West loop.

Jose Sanchez

Great happy hour specials!

Ria Rorich

Will not be returning. Do not know what all the hype is about. Poor service. Food: ???. There was only one other couple in the restaurant. For lunch there were only three items to choose from: fries, empanadas or kale salad. I really like Xoco's baked empanadas and read about the baked empanadas at La Sirena. Server was really bad in not telling us that their empanadas are the size of a potsticker each - at a whopping $4 EACH! We ordered an empanada each expecting that it would be a regular size and enough for a light lunch together with a class of wine. The pastry was bland, not flaky or buttery! The "Cuban sandwich" filling of this pint-sized empanada was runny cheese - no pork inside! Our recommendation: AVOID!

Eugene Burton

Nice ambiance. Had to dine at the bar since no tables available. Empanadas were great and the drinks. Main meal was sirloin and was undercooked. Would try again. Pricey for what you get tho.

Ryan Barba

Delicious brunch and dinner menu! The staff are great, friendly people!

Egle Milavickas

Sunday brunch is just ok. Fantastic drinks though!

Russell Huang

Love this place it is so good for brunch. Such delicious flavors

Julia van Arragon

Why is the name in Spanish if this is a Brazilian restaurant? Brazilians speak portuguese...

Ethan Thomas

The service provided here is impeccable. Anyone serious about healthy food should go here once in their life.

Dylan Rodriguez

Host was friendly, but the servers were not. I waited 20 minutes before getting acknowledged by a server. They were informative of the menu but were awkward and made us feel very uncomfortable. They all just gave us an unsettling experience that turned us off to the food.

David Demma

Absolutely amazing food! To start, the empanda was succulent and crunchy, if not a little on the "soupy" side in the interior (also very hot at first, let it cool before eating). Moving on to the fish (bass?), it was prepped whole and cooked to perfection! The garnish as well as the glaze/sauce was great, and the fish itself was perfectly tender and juicy. Finally, the chocolate cake (tres leches) was soooooo good. Will be returning next week!

Miguel Rivera-Taupier

Amazing feijoada! The service is excellent and the staff is knowledgeable about the Latin American food.

Andy Robledo

Surprised this place can stay in business in such a competitive food area. The service was great, but the food lacked flavor, steak was very tough/impossible to chew, and restaurant smelled stuffy. Will not be back and you should skip as well

Richard Warner

We eat there often. Great Brazilian food.

Allyson Windham

This place was amazing. We came in without a reservation - while the place was mostly full, they were able to serve us dinner at the bar. The service was impeccable and timely. When the gelato for my apple pie empanada was forgotten (which was understandable given how busy the place was), they quickly brought it out, gave me an extra scoop and comped it. And oh man, the food, the food was great. You can tell a lot of thought went into the flavours and textures of the different dishes. The grilled pork chops may have been the best pork I've had - it was wonderfully moist and well flavoured. The cheese bread was another highlight. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Carmel Bogle

Great food, healthy servings! Good service

Ravi Chandrasekaran

Great food, great cachaca cocktails. Empanadas and garlic frites stole the show. Might be the best fries we've ever had.

Shawn Rana

Delicious food and cocktails. Tried the fries, beans and rice, empanada, and pork chop, all were excellent. Vegan options are available.

Thaddeus Buggs

cool little place that has great food and specialty drinks. Cheers

Jonathan Wright

It's pretty decent food, interesting ingredients, I'm not sure they have figured out their dishes quite yet.

Tony Coppoletta

The food, drink and staff here were absolutely incredible. Their caiparinha is perfect but do explore the cocktail menu, and don't miss the perfectly puffy Pāo de Queijo as a starter. I think a friend at the table best described the menu as pan-Latin American from a Brazilian angle? Anyway, excellent food.

Alex Adkins

Intimate setting. Empanadas were very good and I do like the Brazilian influence throughout the restaurant. I would definitely come back here.

Casey Cooley

Great place for lunch and dinner! Great Spanish and Latin American dishes - highly recommend the house cocktail as well. Make sure you save room for dessert!

feng lin

Love love love the food here. Everything made to perfection.. especially their gnocchi with mushroom sauce... drool..

Jonathan Domoleczny

Amazing food, excellent service from full staff, romantic but lively environment. Great date night location.

Ramil Mendoza

Good service. A little slow on food but over all it was a good experience. Staff is very accomodating. Food was excellent and still can taste the traditional versions of the food. Drinks compliments the food selection well

Alexei Marshakov

Tried the "Restaurant Week" menu. Kale salad was huge - enough for 2 people to share. Ceviche - amazing flavor, very well balanced. Braised pork ribs - kind of bland, but with great polenta. Overall, great flavors. Competent, albeit overpriced wine list.

T Nguyen

I think this place is OK. The hostess seems very pretentious and the food served isn't special. I think it is overvalued and unoriginal. They serve pork cutlet...which is essentially Japanese Tonkatsu! And they charge $25 for it. For good measure, I went back here again for the drinks and for the awesome Tres Leches I had the first time. However, they didn't have it and I was disappointed (menu for dessert changes).

Dorian Rodriguez Spicer

The food was excellant. The people and wait staff were so great and attentive. I love this place.

Ariana Song

They brought out a birthday dessert for my friend's birthday with a candle, which was very sweet. Then when the candle kept blowing out due to the fan draft, the waiter ran to the back of the restaurant and brought us a long sparkler instead! It made us feel so welcome. Surprisingly filling food too, and the pan de queijo was to die for.

Jane Watson

brazilian food here - very tasty. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. Service is consistently good. It has a good atmosphere. Mood here is similar to Fresno's scene.

Ashur Joseph

Great service to go along with great food.

C Fair

Have their signature cocktail! It rocks

Tarik H. Binoy

Overpriced. Food is so so. Bread is good. Nice atmosphere

Ugly Bill

Very hip trendy food, but the bar is where the Flavor rocks ! Talented bar staff.

Monica Guio

Honestly food was just ok. Great service, good drinks (had an amazing malbec), good dessert, good apps. Also I like the ambience. However, tha main entrees were just ok. A little bland. Not horrible.

Erinn Mitchell

Our dinner here was to die for. They have small, medium, and large plates so good options for both sharing and individual meals. The chocolate cake soaked in coconut milk with pistachio ice cream is in my top 5 favorite desserts of all times. It’s so unique. We also loved the cauliflower side dish. The restaurant has a small, intimate atmosphere, so I suggest having a reservation or grabbing a seat at the bar. You will not regret a treat yourself dinner here.

Jeffrey Seidman

Their hollandaise sauce on the Tasso Benedict blew my mind and so did their frozen Sangria. I love restaurants that offer up dishes that wow you and provide flavor combos you haven't had before. Their dishes are spicy, not in a hot way, but in a cool flavor way. Fulton Market is exploding as a must visit area for great food. La Sirena is a leader in this pack. Hit it!

Marc Witcher

Almost everything we had was incredible. Definitely worth getting the kale salad even if the idea that kale can taste good is met with skepticism. Best caipirinha I've had in Chicago so far. My one gripe is the donuts we had were overly spicy for a dessert and I didn't really care for the sweet potato flavored sauce, but I'm willing to chalk that up to personal preference. La Sirena is a very small establishment so reservations are usually required and the acoustics are a little ear-grating, but the food is not to be missed.

Djuana Stoakley

Delicious Brazilian fare and artisanal cocktails in the Fulton Market area. Conveniently located near the Morgan Street Green Line stop and Google (in case you have a meeting).

Elise Dagley

Great service, cozy atmosphere, and consistently delicious!

Hunter G

Swanky and intimate atmosphere that allows one to relax and enjoy one's company. Throughout the entire dinner you'll get wafts of amazing aromas from the kitchen since its so tightly knit. The music offers suttle noise but is not overpowering to the point where one has to shout to speak to one's fining companion. Highly reccomend this place for an affordable and enjoyable dinner. Kale salad is a must!

Anne-Laure Mention

Small selection of dishes. Lots of fried options. Noisy. Wine list u st outrageously overpriced

Caleb Carbone

Pretty good apps

Alex Kliner

Impossibly loud. Great bartenders though.

Oylia Mahayana

Our server Marco was excellent!!!! He was very professional and had great tableside manner. We will definitely be coming back. We loved being able to thank the kitchen staff by purchasing them a six pack! This is such a cool place!!!

Meesa Maeng

Solid restaurant. We had their La Colombe coffee collaboration brunch and between the three of us, we tasted the majority of the offerings. Everything was great. Service was fantastic and the restaurant was small and cute. Prices were equivalent to most of the other restaurants on Restaurant Row. Looking forward to returning to try out their normal menu!

Sue Vincent

Great food and drinks

Liz Slocum

Great food and drinks, pretty decor.

Timothy Casey

Very good steak, done the way you like

Rachel Choe

I loved the atmosphere here. It wasn't very packed and I'm not sure if the reservation was necessary, but it was nice to have. Everything is tapas-style here and we ordered 6 dishes for 3 people. The Pão de Qeijo was really good, if I wasn't so full, I would have eaten more. Next we had the Ceviche which was pretty decent for me. The Fried Cauliflower was probably my favorite dish of the night. The Whole Fried Fish was pretty large and was cooked extremely well! Finally, we had the Iron Roasted Hanger Steak cooked to perfection :) It's a little pricey, but I think really worth it!

Daniel Ireland

Special spot, a notch above the other restaurants in the over saturated Chicago restaurant scene. Most importantly, the food was outstanding! The atmosphere was sophisticated and cool, vintage with a funky urban twist. I would have definitely given five stars, yet the pricing was slightly on the pretentious side. That being said....this location is the hottest restaurant scene in Chicago, so I expected the prices I paid. Ultimately, it was worth it. I had a great time. It was relaxed, it was cool and the food was top notch. I'll be back and if I have the same experience next time, they'll get that 5th star!

Mitchell Arends

Great food and the staff was very helpful in deciding what to eat! We tried several items on the menu and everything was good. I would recommend trying the fried cauliflower, fried chicken, or the pork chops.

Omar Montano

Seafood dishes were great, but the steak plates we had were just decent. All in all it was a good experience.

Miki Deen

Enjoyed Mother’s Day brunch here. Had the doughnuts, which were warm and fluffy and the French toast, crispy outside, soft inside. My husband enjoyed the lamb benedict and our baby danced to the live music. Friendly staff and nice environment. The bathroom sink was big enough to double as a changing table.

Robert Battista

Tasty food and drinks but seemed a bit on the pricey side for the portions. Service was great

Vanessa Crews

Try the fried chicken, and the strawberry jalapeno sorbet. If you are a fan of spices this an excellent choice. The service is 5*. Won't be able to get a reservation once the Fulton has expanded.

Nick Hork

Came here for the first time on a Friday night around 9pm and had a great time. There wasn't a wait, but the place had a decent amount of action. The octopus salad had great acidity, and the octopus was perfectly tender. The sweetbreads were massive and creamy, and the giardiniera added a nice sweet heat. The thin cut short rib was a refreshing change from any I've had before. The brussel sprouts were a pleasant surprise and had almonds for days. Had a couple cocktails, though I can't remember their names, were both good accompaniments to a well rounded experience. Will definitely be back soon.

Ty

Great food and service. Cocktails are good too. You'll enjoy the Brazillian fare here. I would go back.

Victor Weffer

Nice cozy atmosphere with good drinks and good food. The ribs and octopus were great.

Art A

The food from the Empanadas, to the Salad, to the Ribs was superb, just outstandinly delicious. What caught me off guard was the excellent service. Our waiter was attentive but on top of that our table was taken care for by other staff, making sure we had fresh silverware down to the table top being wiped down and clean for every dish. It was a 5 star experience.

gasparin el wolfito

The food its wonderful !! Service its 100% friendly

Mark Dingley

Brussel sprout salad was excellent, Fried chicken was good, but oddly cut. Service was friendly, neighborhood atmosphere.

Smaranda Ene

Some special delicacies, like the chicken hearts, are not to be found many other places... excellent recipes and great wine selection

Shannon Trosper

Just amazing! Loved the atmosphere and the food was superb. La Bamba time is a must try :)

Alex Bishop

This place has evolved and matured really nicely and I love coming here. What was scorchingly hot and impossible to get into when it opened, has now become a lively, lovely neighborhood standby. It is super comfortable and super tasty. My wife, daughter, and I came for dinner on Sunday evening and the place was humming but not overrun. Service was attentive and excellent and the pace of the meal was leisurely and relaxed, as it should be on a warm summer evening. Just perfect. Wine and cocktail service is outstanding, if not extensive. My Caipirnha was terrific and not too sweet but with a good bite. Too often this drink can be cloying if not handled well. Dinner was excellent. Kale salad was creamy but with enough heat from the jalapeno to stand up to it. Grilled Asparagus were tender and delicious. Empanadas were good but sort of boring. The whole fresh fish was absolutely delicious with an array of flavors that seemed more Asian than South American. It was snapper on our evening but I'd order it regardless of the day's fish. Pork Milenesa was good but a little dry and the hanger steak was expertly cooked and delicious. This place has really matured and I love coming here for a more restrained, comfortable meal when I don't need to live on the edge with some hip newcomer.

Chris Bonnett

Superb service at a sexy little Latin spot. ;) My friend and I started our evening at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. I ordered the "The Crying Game", a potent and manly cocktail from their Bebidas menu. It was served on the rocks and made with overproof rum, 2 other kinds of rum and bitters - with no true "mixer" it's strong. Perfection. Once seated, we started with pan de queijo (cheese bread) - don't think of typical American cheesy bread from Dominos. It's more like a warm pillow of baked dough filled with a soft gooey cheese. Next, we ordered the garlic frites - crispy fries topped with a generous amount of herbs and salt and served with some bomb aoili! We also ordered the coxinha, a smoked chicken croquette - it was pretty good, but not a standout. We weren't too hungry so we didn't get entrees, but we did get DESSERT! The panna cotta was so damn good! Such a complex dish and variety of flavors packed into one amazing dish. We loved the atmosphere here - the bartender that served us our drinks and our server were both amazing and attentive. The restaurant was dimly lit and quiet. It's a perfect date night spot - check it out.

nirmal patel

The best part were the apps. The main dishes seemed to lack flavor or character. It was a toss up in my view, an average attempt at fusion.

Faraz Khan

Excellent spot in the west loop. Consistent and not pretentious. Brunch is good too.

Nickay Penado

It's really sad when you're so excited about eating at a restaurant and before you can even take a bite of your food, the treatment by staff is so disgusting, you have to leave. That's what happened to my group and I at La Sirena yesterday. My 3 friends and I decided to gather there for drinks and food. Understanding there were no reservations available, we opted for seating at the bar which was confirmed as first come, first served. Well, after almost 20 - 30 min of sitting at the bar chatting and preparing to order drinks and food, the hostess came by and asked us to give up our bar seats for a pair who arrived late for their reservation and thus had their table given to other guests. The hostess somehow decided that our group of 4 needed to give up 2 of our "first come, first served" seats for 2 guests who were late. Riddle me that? Pretty upset my the experience, we decided to leave and try Wow Fun, where we walked in and received wonderful service and great food. It's worth noting that when we left La Sirena, I attempted to close out my single drink tab and the bartender whispered, "Don't worry, I'll cover the drink. I'm not sure what's happening but I'm sorry." At least there are SOME good staff left at La Sirena.

Jess Mean

Complex flavors, layers of flavor -- every foodie buzzword could be used to describe the dishes here. I had the short ribs, cilantro risotto and meat empanada, all exotic yet homey. The cocktails are also a highlight with a focus on Brazilian originals like the caipirinha. They take reservation so get yours today.

Paula Jimenez

The food and ambiance are terrific. This is one of my go to restaurants when I want something delicious, not too expensive and more lively. The space is cozy but big enough to where you don’t feel claustrophobic. The food is incredible. The fish is amazing! Def try the empanadas and their cocktails are great, too. You won’t regret your experience at Sirena.

Juan Molina

Lovely place, delicious, great promotions. Sometimes shrimps are not fresh. But the rest of the food is amazing. I'll definitively come back

Aaron Gilbert

Charming ambiance. The food was delicious. The menu was small, but each dish was well conceived and tasty. We enjoyed the cocktails were excellent. The waiter was friendly, bordering on effusive. I look forward to returning.

Elana Chan

Nice atmosphere and big portions

Manuel Colón

Very delicious location in the Fulton Market. I was in love with everything that I ate and drank for dinner.

Daina Williams

The food was VERY delicious!! The dimly lit venue provides for a cozy experience! :)

Kristy Scott

The food is amazing and the atmosphere as we sat outside was extremely relaxed.

chris lietz

Cool little South American inspired place on Fulton. Service was decent, nice atmosphere. Kale salad was very good but the portion was huge. Cauliflower was a standout as well. Ceviche and steak we're good but not exceptional.

Stephen Suydam

La Serena Clandestina had potential since there are no other Brazilian restaurants that I know in the area, but upon walking in, it might as well be modern American in the West Loop as it has the same warehouse feel as the rest of the area. The food looks reasonably priced for a lunch, $12 for salad or bowl, but it is $2 more for avocado, $6 for a chicken breast or shrimp and double the price ($12) for beef. I had a shrimp bowl that had slow cooked black beans, jasmine rice, chimichurri and 4 or 5 shrimp. Everything tasted fine, but nothing special. Beans, rice a little protein at that price seems like a bad deal.

Pamela Engebretsen

The seafood stew is amazing. They serve it over a special rice/sauce mixture that is super tasty and combine shrimp, prawns, mussles into it. Great to share with 2 people. Most items are meant for sharing (tapas style). Anything seafood here is amazing. Unique drinks and wine. They also have yummy empanadas! They now accept reservations, but I prefer sitting at the bar.

Mike Michalak

Love it! One of my favorite places. Fun place to experiment with different dishes. Your safe word is empanadas.

Amber Gibson

One of my favorite lunch spots in the West Loop – I always love the kale salad and grilled chicken hearts. Very laidback but with unique flavors you won't find elsewhere and chef makes his own hot sauces!

Felipe Kim

Best Brazilian food in town!

Nick Korynski

Amazing drinks and food here for dinner. Caipirinhas were delicious and the Swordfish Ceviche was outstanding.

Aline Salvatti

I would give 0 stars if I could!!! This is the worst experience I ever had! Food was horrible! Disgusting! They can't say they are a Brazilian restaurant! I had the moqueca, it was overly salty and almost no fish in it, the chicken hearts was overly done, we sent it back, but the new ones had no salt at all! It comes wit a hot sauce that doesn't make sense ( in Brasil we don't put hot sauce in chicken hearts), and even my husband who loves spicy foods said it didn't go well! The kale salad w jalapeño don't make sense either! And all that bad food was very expensive! Too bad, because the decor is beautiful and the music is nice ( the only real Brazilian thing there!).

Jeimmy Kieser

Great whole fish!

Ana Martinez

It was a good experience. Food was delicious and the staff was great. Great managers. Bartender took care of my drinks and gave us free dessert to take home. I will be going back .

Tito Joseph

I will keep this simple and to the point. Food is not as good as the hype that the management might be trying to create. This is Chicago, a foodie paradise, so this place just doesn't cut it. There wasn't a single dish that made me say I need to try this again. We had six in our group and we shared, so I was able to try several items on the menu. Service was slow and staff just lacked interest. Also everyone in our table said we smelled urine as we walked into the restaurant. It maybe due to the close proximity of the bathroom to the restaurant. My point is that there are several other restaurants in Chicago that is truly worth your money.

Joseph Feinberg

WOW just WOW. BEST BRUNCH

H Daley

This was one of the best dining experiences of my life. My friend and I shared several dishes, all of them were exquisite. We also had a couple cocktails which were absolutely divine. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely helpful, without hovering too much at our table. And his dessert recommendation was spot on. We ended our evening with the dulce de leche cookie and a Sherry flight, and it was the perfect compliment to our meal. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

David Schwartz

A good experience with Brazilian food. Very casual, friendly and small. It js the west loop which is a haplening area. Food was good, but not overly inventive. Different from the Brazilian steak house. Try it for lunch, and eat outside

Michael Kelly

Terrific. My wife and I loved the casual ambience and the excellent food. Everything we ordered was top-notch. Definitely worth a visit.

Steve Perry

Great service, chill ambiance, food was awesome, the waiter was able to recommend wines to go with our meal. We had ceviche, rabbit arepas, and the sweetbread dish. I would recommend any of them! Enjoy!!!

Courtney Guc

Delicious small/medium plate menu. The fries and cauliflower were great appetizers and the portions were larger than expected.

John Nelson

I love everything about it.

Paul Martin

The cocktails we had were good

Jim Tammen

Good vibes

Sandra De La Mora

Everything we tried was delicious! Great service and good ambiance!

Iuri Matteuzzo Ventura

The pao de queijo is excellent, very typical from Brazil. The tapioca is an amazing mix of tastes. Recomended!

Alexandria Mudrick

Great service and food, but nothing super amazing or special. Get the kale salad and share it as an appetizer! That was the best part.

Maryclo G

Great caipirinha!!!

Seema Acharya

Amazing cocktails, the cocktail with egg white is just delicious. The food is impeccable!

Paul Zucker

Just went for drinks. Friendly and knowledgable bartender.

Ambrose Arrieta

Awesome food! Staff!

Margaret Bambrick

Loved it. The atmosphere was great and so was the service. We had the best red snapper and croquettes. The drinks were inventive and delicious too. Definitely going back!

Francis Manuel Caparroso

Chef John Manion does it again! Loved dinner. Staff was very friendly from the moment we walked in the door. Everyone gave us excelent service, however Lily was amazing in particular. Gave us excelent suggestions regarding our food and made sure to make the night special as we were celebrating our anniversary. I never thought I would enjoy a vegetarian empanada as much as I did at la sirena. Wish I would have gotten 5 more. The ribeye with frites was cooked to perfection. My dish, the roasted duck was simply amazing. Flavors perfectly balanced and the dish was portioned well. Thank you to everyone at La Sirena for helping me make the night special!

Matthew Halstead

Love this place! Off the beaten path of Randolph, great vibe, fabulous food and excellent drinks from the bar. You simply can't go wrong here.

Alia Breitwieser

This place manages to combine a number of good qualities that you can't always find in one restaurant: food that is simultaneously homey and satiating but not boring; an atmosphere that's fairly chic but also cozy and welcoming. My friend and I came at 3:00 and ordered off the brunch menu: the feijoada burrito (black beans and rive with linguiça, scrambled eggs and avocado in a grilled tortilla), the pão de queijo (small tapioca buns made with oil and cheese—surprisingly light and very delicious). We also ordered their tepache (pineapple juice infused with ginger and spices). Everything was great. I have very high standards for my food and am actually disappointed by most of the restaurants I've been to in Chicago (I'm from the central coast of California), but this place nailed it with respect to full-bodied flavors, a rich assortment of textures, and satisfying serving sizes. We stayed chatting for two an a half hours, by which time the sun had set and it looked like much of the staff was changing over. I was deeply impressed that the servers kept coming to refill our water glasses even half an hour after we had paid our checks. This place should be more crowded at 4:00 pm on a Saturday! (It started filling up very quickly after 5:00, so you might want to make a reservation.)

Raj Hathiramani

Good spot for a quick lunch, try the sandwiches, shrimp ceviche or the kale salad. Fried cauliflower is dangerous but delicious.

Daniel Hollich

Lovely food and great service! Can't wait to be back!

Jimena Alvarez Soto

Moqueca. Delicious soup, super consistent, and has risotto in the bottom. The soup is incredibly tasty. Perfect for the winter. There was enough to share between two or three people, and still feel very satisfied or even full. The service was great and very friendly.

H Stout

I honestly liked their food and customer service, excellent location very close to my house. The cashiers are always friendly. Will come visit again.

Rosa De Luna

They took forever to give us our food. They forgot to give us part of our order we had to ask 2 other waiters. And on top of that they charged us twice. Probably won’t be back. They need to take care of the customers more and management has to be taken care of.

Amali D

Good food

Nick Nice

Superb food

Saleem Khan

Tasty food...we were even surprised that its quite good restaurant

Meredith S

I've never had a good meal here. Also, the staff seems to be in their own world as well.

Seve Kim

Brunch: 10/10 Ceviche, Maple Bacon, Eggs Benedict, Cuban and the Bloody Mary were all on point. La Sirena Clandestina is an unsung hero of Fulton Market.

Don Frasco

Located in the Market District of Chicago. One of the best Brazilian restaurants in Chicago. Order off the menu "size me up."

Dan West

Always the best

David Rosales

I hear the food and service is good. I'll never know because I had to cancel my reservation because I couldn't change it from 5 people to 6 because they were all booked up that day and it messes with the other reservation somehow.

Vincenzo Scaletta

To give an idea of how good this place was, the Kale Salad was amazing!

David Leibowitz

A favorite. Great food. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Anything with chimichurri is terrific.

Marcel Ritchey

Beautiful food, area, ambience, and even the bathrooms. Kind of pricey, so bring your paycheck... definitely taking advantage of their neighbor Google

Craig Zmudzinski

Nice atmosphere and good, creative food. Everything is good from the craft cocktails to the craft beer selection to the desserts and coffee. Pricy, but to be expected with a place like this. The prices are fair and not outrageous.

Raimond K

Nice place, good food

Jamieson Brady

Happy hour menu is 5 stars Server was 5 stars Regular menu is 2-3 stars

Ladi Puriwal

Way overpriced for taste and quality of the food.

Keisha Rembert

Great food & service. A bit noisy for an intimate date dinner.

Mark Ferry

Owner and staff are amazing. Place had a really good atmosphere. My only regret is not being able to spend more time there. Will definitely be back.

Ryan Gavrick

Sweet tiny infant baby Jesus. This is one of the premier restaurants in Chicago. Literally some of the best food I have ever eaten in my entire life. If you are not giving this place a try you are stupid and you should stop reading my reviews. Seriously, stop reading.

Rob Birse

Not sure why this restaurant gets such good ratings. We had 5 dishes and all were below par. The rabbit cox coxinha was gummy and missing even a moderate hint of rabbit, the civiche was passable, as we're the head-on prawns (apart from the one that was raw) but the Farro winter salad was too sweet for my taste. However it should be said my wife did like it. The wine list is limited. All of the whites by the glass are sweet in style! All in all there's better choices all around.

Federico C.

Get the Feijoada, they recently took it off the menu, but they can still make it. It's the only reason I go there

Pedrom Rejai

Exceeded expectations all around. Best pisco sour I've had in the city. Expensive place and well worth the money.

Luke Aguirre

I absolutely love this place. I have had a ton of different options here and have only not enjoyed one thing. The kale salad is a must and don't forget to ask about the empanada special of the day. This place has a great vibe. Great music, friendly staff, and tasty food. You could throw a dart at the menu and not be disappointed.

Mitch Byrne

A friend took me here a few weeks back. We had a fantastic dinner! Great atmosphere & amazing food! Loved the Empanadas & the Brussels Sprout Salad. Everything was delicious. Good beer selection as well. Friendly wait staff as well! I've been in a few times since for lunch. Cool to sit up at the bar & have a kick ass lunch break!

Christian Picciolini

Have eaten there once and the food was very good. Small place that can be hard to get into, but definitely worth checking out. Just off of Randolph on Fulton Market.

Peter Meschede

Decent food but overpriced for what you get. I'd go there for a drink and skip the food.

Justin Kawa

All dishes were top notch. Rice dish, prawns, grilled fish, beet salad with mascarpone cheese...incredible. Fantastic cocktails and dessert too. Love the bar upfront for a drink too. Pro tip: Get there early and chat with the bartender about some of the Latin American ingredients that are featured as he prepares a cocktail that's sure to please.

Carol Rannow

Nice corner South American eatery. Great Eggs Benedict and unique drinks.

Scott McLellan

Stellar food. The ceviche ruined other ceviche for me forever. A dimly-lit, chic beach house kind of vibe perfect for date night. You get what you pay for!

Alina Thompson

Low key Sunday night dinner that just hit the spot. Service was great, always had someone refilling water and checking on us. We were drinking Betidas, which were good, but the food was excellent. We shared the Moqueca and Frango a Passarinha, and both were delicious. The seafood was cooked perfectly, and there was just enough broth for the dish. The chicken is always amazing, crispy, a little spicy, and just plain fantastic.

Sarah Morrone

My favorite restaurant in Chicago. We always bring friends and family here! We’ve yet to have anything but a perfect evening here. I would highly recommend La Sirena for food and atmosphere!

Came in for Happy Hour and cut some pretty good deals on food and drinks. The Schwarzbier ($4) and the Tequila-based cocktail ($6) were just right to kick off the night. The food also didn't disappoint: a large basket of fries ($5), kale salad ($6) and caramelized cauliflower ($6) were just good! Good HH option if you need a change from the Ace Hotel just next door.

All around top 5 in Chicago. Excellent menu, quality food and great cocktails. Worth it. *Better tasting cocktails than Aviary across the street..even if they have a meth-lab thematic.

2 spits of wine in a glass costs us $27! We can look pass exorbitant pricing but not bad service too. The bartender seemed annoyed as she snatched my CC upon payment when I told her we didnt want to run a tab. After seeing how little wine was measured into our glasses, why would we buy more drinks? We all have bad days but her vibe could have ruined my night. Instead of allowing whatever she had going on in her head to dim our happiness, we finished our wine glasses of spit, requested an Uber and left. We work too hard to feel uncomfortable where we spend our money. So, we did a toodles to these lame noodles.

A wonderful restaurant experience, excellent food and service. Still thinking about those cheddar biscuits. Dulce de leche cookie dessert was amazing.

The kale salad is delicious, even for those of us that do not like kale! The tables are close together, so be prepared to feel like you are having a meal with strangers at your table. The service can be slow. The kitchen is very good about helping one avoid hidden food allergies on the menu.

Delicious food and drinks! We felt super taken care of the whole time and everything was so flavorful from the drinks to the banana split with toasted banana and coconut ice cream.
