Galit Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Disappointed with the 2 extra "service charges" for
Disappointed with the 2 extra "service charges" for "benefits" and just "service" I guess? Guess it's hard to make money at $94 per plate.
I have never eaten such good hummus! Everything was sooo
I have never eaten such good hummus! Everything was sooo good! Great combination of flavors and very vegetarian friendly. Service was quick and kind. Not crowded, well lit place. Recommend! The 94/person is definitely worth the variety and amount of food!
Treated myself to a solo date and it was my first Michelin
Treated myself to a solo date and it was my first Michelin restaurant experience! Highly recommend! The ambience is sophisticated and clean. Staff was so kind and attentive. They offer kitchen counter seating so you have the view of all the action in the kitchen. Counter seating is great for solo dates. To drink, I got the pomegranate soda (spirit free) which was tasty and refreshing. For $94, you get a 4 course meal that will leave you fully satisfied. And they give you a complimentary sesame chocolate chip cookie at the end of your meal! My choices were: 1) Tehina hummus with included salatim 2) Carrots 3) Walleye 4) Phyllo pie Everything I chose was phenomenal - especially the phyllo pie! Overall great experience :)
I've been a long time fan of Galit and have dined here
I've been a long time fan of Galit and have dined here several times in the last few years. The food is always amazing and the ambiance is always welcoming and friendly! When booking reservations through Resy, the restaurant requires a $25 deposit per person to cover for no-shows. This fee is supposed to go towards your bill, but the last two times I've dined here in the last 3 months, the wait staff has forgotten to take the $100 deposit off my bill. Both times we've had to remind the waiter and make them run a new bill for us, which has been disappointing. I'm concerned this is happening to others, and they're not aware that they're paying extra! I'd hate to ever questions the integrity at Galit, but I feel like they need to be better about this given most of the reservations are made with a deposit. If you're new to dining at Galit, don't forget to double check your final bill!
I couldn't add all the photos because there was so much
I couldn't add all the photos because there was so much food! Went with 6 people and the portions were incredible! We all shared and it was more a family style meal. You are able to pick a few different items and the more people you go with the more things you are able to try! The hummus was by far my favorite and I would go back for just this! The ambiance seemed a little simple for a michelin star restaurant, but you can definitely see the difference in the quality of the ingredients they use!
Food was delicious, came out hot and fresh.
Went there on a Thursday and had their holiday pre course. Served was knowledgeable and went through the menu thoroughly.
We came here for an early dinner on Saturday night,
We came here for an early dinner on Saturday night, reserved a table for two on Resy with a $50 fee (which goes to the cost of your bill) to prevent no shows, and had a lovely date night dinner at this cozy, romantic restaurant in Lincoln Park. If you would like to dine with less noise, recommend you come in earlier, although by 6-6:30pm the restaurant was completely full. The food came out at a good pace, and we were at the restaurant from 5pm-6:30pm. Our waiter was excellent, and I enjoyed watching the extremely efficient service of the waiters that only brought out your food and described them along with the waiters that cared for the diners. My water never got below half full and our wine glasses stayed full. The kitchen is fully visible if you like to watch the service. The tasting menu has refreshingly good portions, but the price may seem high but it's also for the experience, ambience and the opportunity to try excellent food. Our favorite dishes included the Iraqi Kubbeh Halab, Lobster and Phyllo Pie. For my husband and I, it was our first Michelin star restaurant experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Be ready to pay a relatively high price, $94 per person for the tasting menu, in addition to any price of alcohol, and automatic 20% service charge and 3% for employee benefits contribution.
We ate here for dinner during a work trip, and the ambiance
We ate here for dinner during a work trip, and the ambiance was great for a casual team bonding. So much flavor and quality packed in small plates. My favorites were the creamy hummus and the falafel.
Over the last few years, I've probably had my worst Chicago
Over the last few years, I've probably had my worst Chicago dining experience yet at Galit. While some dishes were great (would recommend the masabacha and lobster), I was dissatisfied with the service and condescending attitude, in particular. 1. Although I was seated promptly, it took 15-20 minutes until my server came over. I was genuinely wondering whether they remembered to assign me a server. I understand that weekend nights are busy, but customers should not have to wait that long for service to start, especially at a restaurant of this standard 2. I personally disliked the sunchokes dish and could barely touch it, as I felt that the sauce had an overpowering bitter, almost "woody" taste of sorts. I let the team know but was essentially told that my palate was not sophisticated enough to enjoy it 3. After the meal ended, I asked the hostess if I could directly leave feedback. She made a face and looked irritated that I had requested to do so; this was evidently very disrespectful to me. While she ultimately directed me to the manager, he too brushed off my concerns. Apart from simple platitudes thanking me for the feedback, they were not apologetic and did not offer anything to rectify the situation 4. The manager eventually reached out over email the following day, but I felt this was too little, too late. You can write that you value my honest feedback, but my time at the restaurant did not reflect this at all. It's telling that they said we are on the "same page in terms of our expectations" but never owned up to not fulfilling them in the first place Considering all of Galit's accolades and otherwise stellar reviews, I was highly disappointed in the overall experience. Hope nobody else goes through the same experience I did!
My family and I stopped in here on a Friday night for
My family and I stopped in here on a Friday night for dinner. We were seated right away and took a look at the menu options. Since the entire tables does the pre fixe, it was pretty easy to pick. We also decided to do the wine pairing as well. We did the Tehina and Masabacha to start, Meze selections were sunchokes, kubbeh, and parsnips, and Main selections were pastrami and mushroom schnitzel. The food great and the flavors were really unique. Though it adds a bit to the price, the wine tasting was definitely worth it. Ambiance is nice. Very modern and bright inside. It's a little noisy inside, so not a place for quiet conversation. Service was pretty good too. Everyone was very friendly and attentive throughout the night. We did have a few pacing issues, where our wine came well before the course or vice versa, but aside from that, we enjoyed! Overall, Galit is a really nice place for a celebration. It's extremely expensive and I will say I expected a bit more service wise from a Michelin Star. That aside, It's well worth a stop in!
Came here for my birthday and absolutely loved it! Amazing
Came here for my birthday and absolutely loved it! Amazing service and food! The ambience also feels very intimate which makes perfect for a date night! Chicago has a variety of Michelin restaurants to explore but loved all the vegetarian options that galit offers. If you are big into wine, I definitely recommend doing the wine pairing! A few of the wines they have for the tasting are only ones you can have at Galit and were some of my favorites! My husband tried the kessel run and saz arak cocktail and loved both as well! We loved the Masabacha hummus. It was creamy and was perfect with the pita. The falafel was phenomenal. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with delicious flavor! The carrots had so much flavor to it we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked them! I'm usually not a big fan of grape leaves but surprisingly really enjoyed these. The butternut squash and saffron labneh was so flavorful! The mushroom schnitzel was also really good and very filling with the black eyed peas and kale. It has a slight sourness to it but goes very well with the meaty texture of the mushroom. The chocolate cake was SO GOOD and one of the best desserts I've had! Honestly can't believe I forgot to take a picture of it! Coffee, hazelnuts, and cardamom all in one... YUM! Wish this was an item do not share! :) Would definitely come back!
Very enjoyable and tasty set menu.
Fantastic set menu. Every course was enjoyable. Service very good. Priced at a reasonable rate for Chicago. Would definitely go back.
Worth the wait to get a reservation
We had been trying to get a reservation through Resy for a while, and we were not disappointed. All of our food was delicious and our server was very helpful with our selections. It was a delightful dinner overall, the atmosphere was probably the only thing that was lacking slightly. We would highly recommend to Mediterranean food fans.
Amazing Dinner!
This Michelin-starred restaurant may look a little informal, but these folks earned their star and then some. It's a four-course meal, starting with hummus and amazing, right-out-of-the-wood-fired-oven, steaming-when-you-open-it pita, through salads, mains and dessert. It is difficult to describe how this meal was as amazing as it was, but each dish took normal things (hummus, carrots, etc.) to new heights with its combination of flavors and textures. Everything was done to perfection, and the food is copious -- but save room for dessert, which varies with availability of key ingredients -- we had a fresh cherry pastry that was to die for. One suggestion: go with a slightly larger group -- the desserts and hummus are served for two people (i.e. you get one dessert for two people), and you will want to sample more than one!!! Mains and salads, everybody gets one -- definitely eat family style, as again, the range of tastes is phenomenal.
Delicious, fun, and flavorful - pricey but worth it
A delicious and fun experience, albeit quite overpriced and a somewhat rushed. Superb and creative drinks with unique flavors and aromas. Especially impressed by arak menu, their specialty drinks, and wine list. Our server was engaging and knowledgeable. Ordering is easy and all the dishes are shared. Highlights of the food included the pits, hummus thin and and hummus masabacha, all the salatim but especially the ezme, also the carrots, heirloom tomatoes, and bass. The standout was the maqlubah. The desserts were good, but not great, which was fine since we were stuffed, though the mahleb cheesecake was excellent. The only downside was the servers who brought out several dishes at once and were quick to clear, creating a bit of a rushed feeling. We weren’t able to hear or ask what was being brought out since they were working so quickly. For $165 per person and everything else being so wonderful, I’d have expected not to be rushed. But it still is 5 stars.
Sadly unimpressed
This is a Michelin one star? I was looking forward to this meal with my friends on my visit to Chicago this weekend, but ultimately left feeling disappointed. While the starters - the dips and little snacks and pita were all very good, the mains were only okay (the sausage was not great, the pastrami/make your own reuben was good but gimmicky, and the fish was okay but lacked a vibrant flavor). Desserts were unremarkable - flavorless cheesecake and some chocolate babka rif whose only remarkable feature was the fresh raspberries accompanying the pastry. The starter falafels were the true highlight, while the foie gras dish was overly sweet and cloying, and the heirloom tomato salad somewhat flavorless. Service was okay, though slow to bring drink refills when requested, and we were seated in a backroom that had little character. My friends who I went with had been before and loved it - back when it was an a la carte restaurant. They walked away from this meal disappointed, as did I, given the hype. Honestly, for the price point, this was disappointing and the quality/ quantity of food was not up to snuff. I'm surprised this is a Michelin one star place, as I've been to several others and found the service/ food superior at similar price points. It was expensive and not quite worth the price point, though there were some high points, as discussed.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
