Taste the American Regional cooking of South Water Kitchen, a downtown Chicago American restaurant |
Remember when the kitchen was the most important room in the house and family dinner was the most important part of the day? So do we. At South Water Kitchen, we've created a Chicago American restaurant like no other. Come in and indulge in our take on American Regional cooking with favorites like macaroni and cheese or falling-off-the-bone short ribs.
Adjacent to the Hotel Monaco Chicago, a Kimpton Hotel
South Water Kitchen also provides room service to Hotel Monaco guests as well as the private dining menus for the special events, receptions and business meetings held at the Hotel Monaco. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere neatly complements the elegant Hotel Monaco Chicago's decor.
Enjoy the casual ambience of this downtown Chicago restaurant
San Francisco's Puccini Restaurant Group created an inviting atmosphere and brought the comforts of home to our downtown Chicago restaurant. South Water Kitchen's décor complements its American menu through the warm colors, strong columns and intimate lighting throughout. Our casual Chicago American restaurant is the perfect haven from the hustle and bustle of busy downtown Chicago.
Loop business workers enjoy lunch at South Water Kitchen and often return in the evening to unwind with dinner and one of our specialty drinks: a "Sky Way" cocktail, a "US 58"; or "US 51." Neighborhood regulars, families and travelers alike enjoy our familiar comfort food and "kid-friendly" menu options. Our Chicago American restaurant donates half of all proceeds from kids' meals to the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless.
