Weather Mark Tavern — Restaurant in Chicago

I hate to write this review. Weather mark used to be one of my favorite places to take the ladies on initial dates. I knew the food was great the drinks were good and the service was always standard. I haven’t been here since around 2011/2012. Glad to see it survived the times. I am deeply saddened to write that service, food and drinks have completely tanked. The sweet potato fries were almost burned, the wings were disgustingly undercooked and rubbery, if only they put batter on them to enrich the flavor and texture. My date and I stopped eating the wings and I ordered a grilled chicken byob. I added grilled onion and mushrooms to it and when I tell you that there were barely 3 pieces of grilled onion and 5 mushrooms, I mean it. We sat at the bar, our waitress was an older polish woman with glasses, never got her name but she barely checked on us 3/4 times. We had to ask for water and even the water had a strange taste to it. Our bill came out to 108.59, the service is severely lacking, the food is either undercooked or over cooked and the drinks were pre made or too sweet. After I paid the bill, my date noticed the bar tender talking to the server about the tip that I left and began pointing at us, I was unaware of this until my date said she wanted to leave and I thought it was weird because I wanted to stay for jeopardy which was just about to start. As we are walking out my date told me that the bar tender pointing at us made her feel uncomfortable and she didn’t trust any more food or drinks. Again I wanted to rank this place as high as I used to back in the day but with the treatment we got this day I’ll refrain from returning. It really...

One of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in Chicago.

1. False advertising - The restaurant advertises bottomless mimosas as part of the Saturday and Sunday brunch menu. This was the main reason we decided to try this spot vs. other restaurants in the area. Once we arrived, the server said that they aren't offering the special because: "They expected to be busy that day and they would lose money if everyone ordered the bottomless mimosa", which is a poor reason because A) the point of the special is to drive foot traffic through the restaurant and B) unless every single person is drinking more than 1 bottle equivalent of champagne it's hard to imagine why the transaction wouldn't be profitable.

2. Underwhelming food, barely passable service - The brunch dishes were suppose to come with sides (bacon or sausage, seasonal fruit and house potatoes) and NONE of the dishes came with the sides advertised. The server did not even bother to notice the mistake or stop by and ask if our orders came out okay. Also, we requested waters for the table and this basic courtesy was ignored.

I recommend skipping this place and going to one of the better establishments in the...

We came for but all you can eat fish and chips on a Friday night on 3/14/25. They also have a happy hour menu from 4 to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I am not sure if this all you can deal is just for lent or bc it’s close to St Patrick’s Day in 3 days. The atmosphere is fun and lots of tables and lots of TV flatscreen everywhere to watch sports and drink and eat with. They have three bathrooms. And they have outdoor seating. And they have a window that looks like a garage window, which is really nice. The corned beef dish for About $19.50 was really good. This was the special St Patties Day menu. The food took a very long time to come out for 2 dishes and 1 second round of extra fish and chips platter. We stayed almost 2 hours bc the food came so late. Fun atmosphere and the food was good … just took too long. Parking on the street with meters at $2.50 per hour. Parking was easy to find at night starting around 5pm. Staff...
