May St. Cafe - Chicago

Sorry to say this place has lost its luster. I hope we caught them on a bad night, because this used to be a Chicago favorite of mine. First, the waiter forgot to place our app order so it came out 45 minutes later with our mains. Thank God the truffle lobster mac and cheese was still amazing because the chicken molé was so so and the burger was overdone an dry. The waiter did make up for things with a butter cake desert, which was appreciated. However, the experience was disappointing Step it up May Street. you used to be a 5 star raver!

I wanted to love this place but i just cant. Good food. Nice service too.

Just love this place it's so warm aND cozy and the wair staff are very good and friendly. Will also visit May st.

Food was stellar. Service was strong. We arrived early and we're the only people there until 6:30. Great margaritas.

The menu had an interesting range of dishes, most with Puerto Rican or other Latin influences, and more steaks than I expected. Because of the chef's background, we opted for two Puerto Rican entrées: the mole chicken and a slow roasted pork dish. Unfortunately, the mole overwhelmed the chicken, and, oddly, the pork dish had relatively little flavor except for garlic. Overall, we judged the food good, but not exceptional. On the other hand, the margaritas were excellent. If you go on a cold night, bundle up if you are seated near the windows.
