Reviews The Northman

My partner walked by this place and he decided it will be a place I might like. He was right. We only had drinks. The cider menu is everything and more, I enjoy cider a lot, we had a couple of those and then we had a cocktail. Cocktails are the bomb. Very nice service and amazing little place the ceiling fans are a jewel. Beautiful old school place vibe, fantastic and perfect for the neighborhood. Will be back soon!.

My wife and I hosted a reception for a small wedding. GM Barbora and Chef Ian were fantastic to work with from the beginning. GM Barbora decorated the backyard fantastically, so we didn't need to bring in anything else. Chef Ian helped design the menu for the event and was responsive with our dietary needs and restrictions. The food was delicious, high quality and had a wide range of ingredients and options. We got many compliments on the wide menu for draft beer and cider as well. We've eaten here for dinner many times and love the rotating menu of high quality options that are hard to find other places Overall it was great, and we can't recommend them enough to people looking for a small reception.

Lovely outdoor patio and great service. We just popped in for drinks and James spent time asking good questions to recommend the “just right” cider (not too sweet…not too dry). We will be back for food next time!

It's hard to remember you're in Chicago after walking through the door at Cobblestone. The ambience in here is amazing. The cocktails were delightful. We got a couple starters (Brussels sprouts and the langos). Both were 5 stars. The burger and Coq au Vin were also top notch. The only reason for 4 stars is that the fried cod was a little disappointing. The fish was slightly over cooked but the batter managed to be soggy and mushy. Other than that we loved everything. Definitely will be back.

Cobblestone was an excellent experience for our group. The outdoor seating is nice that it is off the Main Street, Lincoln, and does not feel packed in. The food was very good, and the drink menu offers something for everyone. Marc was an excellent server, allowing us time to eat and drink at our pace and offering great suggestions.

This is one of the best patios in town and I couldn't wait to get back yesterday once it was nice outside again. I've never eaten here, but the selection of ciders is amazing! It's rare to find so many on draft. I love El Chavo and the Blueberry Mittens. The cocktails are out of sight as well! 'Sage Advice' is probably a top ten cocktail in the city for me. A couple employees were outside looking at the chalkboard and talking about how to keep the patio looking its best- it's clear they really care about the place and about us as well! It's impossible to have a bad time here.

Small menu but the food is so worth it! Very interesting flavours and presentations that I would have never seen coming. Tried their pour flight with ales and ciders that the staff recommended and it was amazing. Definitely recommend coming here on night out!

Awesome food and awesome service from Marc! Super nice guy and honestly one of the best meals I’ve had. Defo recommend and Will be returning.
