Such a fun restaurant to go to with your friends! The view is nice and the restaurant on its own is something special. If you go I absolutely recommend getting the goat empanadas, salchipapas, tuna tataki, and the jalea mixta. For drinks the best one for me was idle hands
The empanadas were my absolute favorite, very flaky, well seasoned goat filling and delicious sauce to go with it. The steak saltado and the salchipapaa were also really good, balanced with interesting flavors. The Shrimp Tacu Tacu was not our favorite but it was something new and interesting to try. We came for bunch but plan to come back for dinner!
The location is great and the service and atmosphere is outstanding..the drinks were great and all of the food in the 7 course meal was yum except for the short ribs.. it was way salty and the interesting part is it seems like how the chef likes it .... They did complement it with a drink..
Our last dinner before leaving was a great one. Although we had a slow start, waiting a good 10 minutes before someone came to the table, they quickly recovered and the food came out fast. All items were delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit.
I had one summer bucket list item left- eat at a rooftop patio restaurant. Cabra was everything I envisioned and more- to my surprise, the food was so good, I probably could have been thrilled eating here if it was in the basement! Cabra feels like a patio even "inside". The view is beautiful, it's great to see the city, as the city is much more than just the lake. I had the salmon ceviche to start and literally I could have been done there in my delight. It was so good, I wanted to lick the bowl. After that, each item was somehow better than the last. I had the chicken, the dish with crab and potatoes, the halibut, and thennnnn THE SWEET POTATO DONUTS. I didn't mention the drinks, which were also lovely. Well balanced and delicious Ok it's not cheap. But what is to be expected when the FOOD & the VIEW & the STAFF.... AND the entire place. It's completely worth it for girls night, date night, or just for a moment when you want to feel like you're on top of the world and fed like royalty.
Cabra is one of my favorite spots to bring friends when they come to visit. I highly recommend the happy hour menu. The pisco sour is phenomenal and a steal at $11 in the city. We had the chicken & goat empanadas (very good, chicken is better but try the goat), the salchipapas that had fries the same style as McDonalds, the spicy wings that are finished on the grill that had my friend licking her fingers, the avocado dip which as someone who does not like avocado was amazing, and finally the queso which I would say was the most lack-luster dish we had but was still decent.
First time visiting this spot at the Hoxton in West Loop. Great views and atmosphere although it's difficult to get a table on the patio, they go fast. Menu is seafood heavy, but still has good variety. The fried cheese over green beans, empanadas, and halibut were the standouts. Was not able to get good photos, but the presentation was excellent. Service was friendly and fast.
