Time Out's Julia Kramer gave Division Street newcomer (1846 W. Division St.) a less-than-glowing review this week.
If you'd had the chance to try a meal at Prasino since it opened in August, let us know what you thought. Chicago Magazine and the Chicago Sun-Times had great things to say about it, but we'd like to hear what the neighbors think.

"The dishes lacked balance, finesse and focus, yes, but nothing completely bombed: The food was, by and large, pleasant and crowd-pleasing, and a nice wine list with some cool biodynamic producers perked up the mundane meals. Well, nothing bombed except, on one visit, the service, which was a complete mess. Appetizers and entrées arrived before any drinks, and a general sense of confusion permeated the waitstaff. I don’t blame them; I don’t really get this place, either."Read the full review here.

I walk by there every day on my way to the el, but haven't stopped yet-- It doesn't seem like my vibe. Have you been yet? Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteAlso, any idea what is going on the southwest corner of damon and division?
It was okay. Service is not great, this is from my experience and a friend who actually consulted a manager about it. The food is just okay, I am guessing you go there for the scene.
ReplyDeleteAnon@ 5:58 AM - I've been and thought it was cheesy inside but the food was solid. I've only been there for brunch, though. In terms of the SW Corner, it's the same rental unit it's always been but there's a new mural sponsored by some community organization Good idea, we'll make a post about that!
ReplyDeleteAnon@ 6:31 PM - Agree with you about the service, seems they still had a lot of kinks to work out.
