It was our first visit to Chicago and we’d been disappointed with every other highly recommended restaurant that we’d visited, and a few of us had digestive issues following those adventures. At that point, we didn’t have high expectations for the city’s food scene.

Great date spot, the front is more of a bar area, the ambiance starts when you get to the back. The dim light was a nice romantic touch. The food was fantastic. We had the seared scallops which were soft and buttery and the shrimp. It came with a nice grille char best choices for the aps, and it was cooked perfectly. The server was very attentive, and they started us with a complimentary poblano soup that was drank like an expresso our server informed us. Not to hot or spicy very nice starter. The cabrenet sauvigon was delicious . My dage got a flavored mojito, which was sweet and fruity just to her liking. I ordered the flat iron steak med rare and was chareed just right and cooked perfectly topped with the all necessary chimi churry sauce. Spent $220 but we both had two drinks, 2 appetizers, wntrees and deserts. most the stuff was about $16-$18 a dish menu online.

This is my first visit to this elevated Latin Seafood restaurant. We started with the a complimentary potato poblano soup which was delicious. I am a seafood lover so I tried the Shadow Shrimp on garlic butter sauce, Creole Jalapeño shrimp, Scallops seared in butter and topped with a house remoulade sauce and crab cakes. The scallops were bland. The shrimp dishes were served with a delicious relish and had a savory, sweet taste profile and not drowned in sauce- definitely try them!

I took my wife here for her birthday and it was absolutely wonderful. The intimate ambience is perfect for date night. The food is amazing and the portion sizes are perfect (we both had the steak). Huge shout out to our phenomenal server Fernando for providing excellent service. I couldn’t ask for a better dinning experience and look forward to my next visit.

This is a great spot to go for a date night or cocktails with friends! I was really impressed with the service and food! We tried a little bit of everything and it was all 10/10. I will be back!

I want to start by saying I rarely if ever leave reviews but Penumbra deserves all the praise. This was one of the most romantic experiences. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here last night and everything the hostess, the waitress, the private dining experience, the low light (which is adjustable),the ambiance, the cleanliness, the food and price were all top tier. Overall Amazing experience we will be back.

We were recommended this place by a friend and we 100% recommend this place. Perfect for date night and very intimate. We made a reservation and were brought to our table, surrounded by curtains separating us from the rest of the crowd. We loved having our own space. Drinks were delicious and definitely recommend the scallops as your appetizer. My partner raved about the side salad on his plate. Street parking was easily accessible as we found a spot right in front.

I almost cancel the reservation because some reviews said this place is too dark which is not true. You can adjust the table lamp brightness. $25 charge if no show on the reservation.

This place is dining as it should be. Situated on Fullerton in Logan Square, you park on the street and walk right in to the fabulous sitting area and spacious bar. Perfect for a quite conversation before or after dinner or just to have a great cocktail. The coconut margaritas were a hit but I enjoyed the Late Bloomer a sparkling cocktail of chambord and hibiscus flowers including an edible flower at the bottom of the glass. As you are escorted to the intimate dinning room the wall is lined with semi-private tables for two and the lighting is perfect. There are healthy sized appetizers of crab cakes and shadow shrimp that came with a gentle mango salsa. We had a complementary soup, potato poblano that was so delicious gentle warm and smooth to wake up the palate. We all wanted more. Dinner itself was amazing healthy portions and wonderful selection. No one was disappointed and all but one plate was completely clean. The house salad was perfect with mixed greens cramp and feta cheese, the asparagus was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were served in the shape of a heart. This night out was amazing. The only catch is you can only split a bill a max of 4 ways evenly only so either bring cash or be cool with that and for our group 20% gratuity was included which was cool cause our server was Awesome thanks Alex. Over all though This spot was totally worth it my only regret is I didn’t get a meal Togo.
