SIFR Chicago Reviews
Torn between two lovers feeling like a fool.
Beautiful space with below average service. Tasty inventive cocktails that don't get you buzzed. Bottom line get some apps and some sides and a lot of bread. The entrees were not only a rip off but mis-represented and not worthwhile. 2 Prawn
The visit was somewhat disappointing.
We liked the menu and ordered our favorite food. It came really fast and now I know why. They actually pre-cooked their food and when it's ordered - they just arranged it on a plate. All three meals were luke-warm, and pilaf was not even warm. T
Overall -- I think Sifr was good, but not great (a solid 3.
5 stars). I did enjoy their rooftop and the downstairs dining room is cute. Our waiter was friendly and made recommendations which weren't the most expensive items on the menu which I always appreciate. But he did suggest we get one more item an
My husband and I chose this place for our anniversary
My husband and I chose this place for our anniversary dinner because of their outdoor terrace. The restaurant left a voicemail 30 minutes before our reservation to say they weren't going to open the terrace because there weren't enough rese
Went for happy hour and everything was great.
I got the lamb burger which comes with a side of pickled veggies. I also got the pita and humus which I recommend.

I came to SIFR for a Time Left dinner--sat down with five complete strangers and left calling them friends. The whole evening was unforgettable, and SIFR played a huge role in making it so. First off, the atmosphere is stunning. The interior has thi
Incredible experience from beginning to end.
The beverages were outstanding in presentation and flavor combinations. The food was equally satisfying. The dishes were satisfying to the eyes, nose, and palate. The ingredients were fresh and the food options were plentiful. Great variety of meat/
The tasting menu was DIVINE.
I'm thoroughly impressed. Kudos to the chef. Service was amazing as well!
Delightful experience.
Sophisticated flavors and lovely portions, just enough to enjoy, but not go overboard. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Will be back to try the rest of the menu!
Sifr is a vibe and rightfully placed on the Michelin guide!
Sifr is a vibe and rightfully placed on the Michelin guide! A gorgeous dreamy-scape (especially upstairs), with beautiful flowers and views of the nearby skyscrapers. Firstly, I had a reservation for Friday evening and had an emergency and was unab

amazing hummus
Rough start with the service but got better. We had a diner that wasn't feeling well due to hunger but they wouldn't let us order just one dish to help her feel better while we looked at the menu. We were told we had to order everything a
I wouldn’t go back
Disappointed to say the least. Overall I give the place a C. The hummus was ok but the prawns and cauliflower left a lot to be desired. Unimpressed also when waiter came up to me and told me to not order from wait staff but just him because it’s to
An excellent choice for Restaurant Week!
An excellent choice for Restaurant Week! This was easily one of the best dining experiences we had. Every dish showcased incredible creativity and bold, unforgettable flavors. The service was outstanding, thanks to Sourabh, who made our visit even mo
Restaurant week experience worked well!
It was great ambience and staffs were friendly. We visited during the restaurant week and got a taste of their best dishes at a reasonable price. The chicken and lamb kebabs were delicious. We also loved the hummos. People were ordering extras to tak
Nice people
Overpriced (18$ for charred carrots). The food is fresh, and good (not great), the ambiance/comfort is average. 4% "surcharge" very much not appreciated.
Wish It Were Quieter
Delicious and creative food, but way too noisy! Pop jazz playing at an extremely high volume prevented an easy flow of conversation at our table. Sad to say we won't be going back.
Great food. Weak drinks.
The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the wide range in the Middle Eastern dishes. Each of the mezze was superb as were the entrees. The exceptions were grilled chicken which was mid and the rice pudding dessert which was not good. Our only real

Food was nice for our to go meal
We ordered a meal to go while having a drink at the bar, and the service from all staff was friendly. Our food was also good when we got home, and the atmosphere for sit in diners looked nice.
Connect with users posting reservations for SIFR Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with SIFR Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to SIFR Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the SIFR Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at SIFR Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at SIFR Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
