Among a sea of pub food restaurants this one is a diamond. Sat at the bar which is often the best seat in house and it sure was. The bartender was friendly, funny, informative and made some amazing drinks. Went during restaurant week and had the 3 course special. The food was spot on. Amazing flavors and pairings. The desert liquor pairings were mind blowing.

I really wanted to love this place but it didn't quite live up to expectations. The bartender was very nice and helpful in choosing a wine. I tried both of the Rieslings they had but they were both too acidic and dry for my taste. The gouda dumplings were just ok. I've had better. The chicken sate was fatty and should have been cooked a bit more to burn off the fat. The fries were very good and I am not a huge fan of fries in general. The herb may dipping sauce was great. My favorites were the gouda mashed potatoes (excellent) and the cauliflower gouda fondue - I would go back just to have that again! My husband got the Nasi Goreng (fried rice). He said the pork belly was fatty and boring and the rice was very spicy. He likes spicy food but wasn't impressed with the dish. It eas just spicy fried rice. We tried the almond spekkok for dessert which was unique and tasty but not amazing. The bill was quute expensive. Everything was priced higher than it should have been. This is an interesting place with some unique flavors but definitely didn't make it into our favorites list.
Seriously — an amazing restaurant experience. Every aspect - the wine, the apps, the entree, and dessert — All exceptional. The service complimented how great the food was. I will 100 percent be coming back here. I loved it and may have become one of my favorites in all of Chicago.
Closer to 3.5/5 than a 3/5. Quality of food was 4/5 and was tasty. Quite a bit of the food was cold when it reached us and portion sizes of the mains were extremely small. Basically tapas sized. Value was 3/5. Atmosphere is tired/quaint/cozy 3/5. Service was attentive, but they didn't have any idea which person at our table ordered which dish because staff work all the tables together 3.5/5. With some minor tweaks this place could be an overall 4/5. Would I go out of my way to come here? No. Would I eat here again if I was nearby? Sure.
They serve the best Chicken satay in Chicago! The whole menu is wonderful. The cocktails and wine selection are great. The service was always top notch. De Quay will be missed.
We allllmost didn't go here and we would've missed out! It's kind of a stretch to choose Dutch food in a sea of authentic Italian and fresh Mexican restaurants. But what a chill, relaxed environment. Everyone at De Quay was conspiring to make our experience excellent: bartender Noel, host, chef. It's comforting food with familiar ingredients blended with bright spots of Indonesian.
The place to go for something out of the ordinary and amazing food. Don't expect traditional Dutch/Indonesian food, but classic-inspired dishes with a modern and unique twist. The ambiance and great service are the cherry on top.
The food was amazing. And portion sizes were deceivingly large!
