🌟 A Wonderful Evening at Trivoli Tavern! 🍸✨

Trivoli Tavern did not disappoint! The night began with a slightly dirty martini — no vermouth, and served with blue cheese-stuffed olives 🫒🧀. It was absolutely perfect! A vodka martini, shaken not stirred, equally memorable. Those olives alone are worth the visit! It was also such a joy to catch up with my good friend Bryan (a.k.a. Big Man), who flew in from Seattle for a work week. Sharing a hearty meal with a dear friend is always a special treat 💖👬. We started with: Fresh East Coast Oysters 🦪 – Chilled just right, clean and briny New England Clam Chowder 🥣 – Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying For the main event: Fried Chicken Dinner 🐔 – Crispy, juicy, and served with velvety mashed potatoes and a super unique coleslaw — nothing like the ordinary stuff you find elsewhere! Chicken Pot Pie 🥧 – This was the real showstopper! I was stunned when I saw the bone with marrow right in the center — such a brilliant and unexpected touch! 💫 We ended with the Butterfinger Pie 🍫🥧 — a glorious finish featuring chocolate, peanut butter, that signature crunch, and a heavenly meringue topping. The higher the meringue, the closer to God! 😇🙏 Every part of this meal was a delight. If you haven’t been to Trivoli Tavern yet — go! You won’t regret it. #TrivoliTavern #ChicagoEats #MartiniLove #FriendReunion #FriedChicken #ChickenPotPie
