Daisies Chicago

Farm-to-Table Flavor in the Heart of Logan Square

Daisies Chicago is a bright, welcoming American restaurant in Logan Square, just a short drive or train ride from Chicago’s major music venues. Known for its housemade pastas, vegetable-forward dishes, and inventive takes on Midwestern classics, Daisies blends upscale flavors with a down-to-earth vibe. The interior is modern and airy with rustic touches, and the menu changes frequently to reflect what's fresh and in season.

Chef Joe Frillman’s focus on locally sourced ingredients and sustainability shines through in every dish—from the beet agnolotti to the mushroom ragu. It’s a spot that feels both elevated and cozy, making it a solid choice for pre-show dining or a late-night bite after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Daisies hits all the right notes for music lovers. It’s close enough to major venues like the Concord Music Hall or The Vic Theatre to make it a convenient pre-show stop, yet far enough to avoid the crowd crush. The vibrant but relaxed atmosphere is perfect to get in the mood for a night out, and the staff keeps things moving with efficient, friendly service. Many concert-goers appreciate the light, fresh menu before a big night of dancing or standing. Bonus: the wine and cocktail list is just as thoughtful as the food.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for shared plates and a buzzy vibe
• Solo travelers wanting a welcoming seat at the bar
• Couples making a date night out of a concert
• Fans who want a lively, stylish space to kick off the night
• Budget-conscious diners who still want high-quality food (especially during weekday happy hours)

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise Daisies for its “exceptional handmade pasta,” “thoughtful seasonal dishes,” and “charming, attentive service.” Many diners describe it as a “hidden gem” and rave about the value for money. The ambiance is often called “cozy yet modern,” and the cocktails are a frequent highlight. It’s also noted for being vegetarian-friendly without sacrificing flavor or creativity.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the menu can be a bit limited for picky eaters, especially if you're craving hearty meat dishes. Others note that the restaurant’s popularity means reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. A few diners would prefer longer opening hours for post-show dining.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food in a warm, upbeat space just minutes from Chicago’s top venues, Daisies is a hit for concert-goers wanting to start their night off right.
