Magnificent Mile Dinner
My family and I had dinner at the Purple Pig and it was everything we expected. All the dishes we ordered from the appetizers (roasted bone marrow, Greek cornbread) to the main entrees (maple wood smoked aged pork chop, filet mignon) were all cooked

Awesome dinner here, was able to get seats at the bar last minute. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with roasted bone marrow - so delicious and full of flavor, the herbs, bacon jam and onions made it perfect. Then we had mushrooms 3 ways, goo

Definitely a place to come with a group so you can try a little bit of everything. The small plates are designed for a quick bite, and the standout for me was the tuna tartare. Never thought mandarin, sour cream, and tuna would pair so well, but it w
I loved Spiaggia and Tony Mantuano.
I was so excited when I heard he was involved with Purple Pig. What a let down. I am not sure who the target audience is, I think tourists? Certainly not foodies. We started with Tuna Tartare and it was so drenched in truffle oil that truffle flavo

After being recommended this place 49281 times, I was finally able to try while visiting Chicago in early August. I will say, we enjoyed everything we ordered and definitely left full. My favorite out of all of the dishes we got was the tuna tartare
Lunch with family
The Purple Pig was amazing. It’s the first thing we did after arriving from Atlanta. The atmosphere was perfect. Trendy style and not snobby. They played great 80s rock. Everything we had was fantastic. Cheese and meat board. We shared tagliatelle,

Place was fantastic.
Walked up last night at 6pm with no reservations. They sat the two of us at the bar right next to the open kitchen. The head chef, who yelled out the orders. Was so great. He showed us everything that was coming out of the kitchen and told us exactly
Delicious meal with attentive staff.
The ambience was casual with friendly servers. Good for business and dining solo.

Amazing food! Went with a group and we tried tuna tartar, bone marrow spread, Spanish octopus, pork tenderloin, and half duck. The tuna tartar was one of the best and the pork tenderloin was my overall favorite. The octopus was the best I've had
As always an amazing place!!!! The environment was popping.
We had a great time with friends. The plates were awesome... burrata, octopus, chicken thighs (taziki was incredible) and always the tuna Tatar ... everyone when in Chicago needs to check it out
The Purple Pig completely blew me away.
So many friends recommended this spot so I decided to give it a try. Our server, Josie, made the entire experience unforgettable. She was super friendly, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. She gave us recommendations that turned out to be the

Deliciousness! Fav Chicago Restaurant, but please don’t mess with perfection!
The Purple Pig is one of our favorite Chicago restaurants. We come for the flavors- well thought out and balanced- everything is very flavorful and we love the sharing plates. It’s our go to spot and we always have a great shared meal. One recommen
Enjoy the Purple Pig
What a fantastic restaurant!! The food is very unique and so delicious that you can not describe it as one particular type. Their wine list is very extensive. We had friends visiting from Paris and they loved it. The entire staff is first rate, a
Sorry it’s a Miss
The food is salty at a bit fatty. The wait stuff is amazing , but the tables are so close together you hear all other conversations over your own. It was my only choice of dining for our first time in Chicago. However we won’t be back again.
Very tasty and tender pork ribs
Excellent pork ribs. Very tasty, succulent and tender. Very sweet and spicy sauce. Excellent waiter service. The food came out very fast.
Nice pork ribs
We went when the restaurant had just opened so there was no queue. The food comes out dish by dish, so the recommendation is that you share each dish as it comes out, rather than waiting for individual dishes. Interesting idea. We had the pork ribs w
Very very good
Great experience. My wife and I stopped in with not reservations and were able to get a seat at the bar. The bartender/waiter explained the menu style with some suggestions. The whipped feta dip was great.
A Must-Do Dinner!
One of the best meals we have ever had! My husband had the chicken dish with potatoes and the chicken was incredibly flavorful and juicy. I had the beef short rib ravioli with bone marrow and it was so good that I was tempted to lick the plate. Other
To expensive for low quality
My girlfriend and I ordered wine by the glas and we never saw any bottles. The waiter just showed up with two glases of wine. Then my girlfriend ordered the Ravioletta and I ordered the filét mignon medium rare. The pasta dish showed up within 5 min
Great small plates! Busy, loud, fun.
Well staffed and service very good. Overordered and OK with that! Cocktail and beer x1, rosé x 2. 6 plates for 4 people maybe a little much?
The small plates are incredible at Purple Pig.
While they do not accept reservations, you can usually get in somewhat easily, especially during off hours. Even if you do need to wait a bit, it is absolutely worth it!
I love this restaurant.
I make it a point to come visit this restaurant anytime I'm in Chicago, especially if I'm at the conferences at the Hyatt across the river. My favorite thing to order is their ravioletto.

Absolutely one of the best meals I've ever had in my entire life. The mushroom three ways was close. Your eyes to savor every bite good. And the charred octopus was buttery, soft and cooked to perfection with the salsa Verde. It was absolutely the pe

Upon entering The Purple Pig, there was a definite unwelcome vibe from the hostess. Lots of frowning and making us feel like a bother despite a reservation. Once we got seated luckily things improved. The server was busy, but still took time to
Absolutely awesome food.
Wonderful experience!! Highly recommend stopping at The Purple Pig if you are in Chicago!
The pork shank is delicious!!!
The food is great! The pork shank is delicious, tasty, I do recommend pairing with a red wine. I sit at the bar, and service is good, efficient. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the hostess. When I arrived, I asked for a seat, and I said it

my server- Cornillius Dorillius gave me one singular tiny chicken nugget even though I asked for 60 she was the worst ever! she wasn't even nice I saw her throw the food to someone.
Terrible food.
Everything is inexpertly conceived and made. The crispy chicken, for example, was described as a half baby chicken. It was not crispy. It was a few overcooked and rubbery thighs, so greasy it would stay on the fork, swimming in some kind of aviscous
Incredible amazing!!!
Amazing restaurant! Valentino was great very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. This is my second time having lunch and I will definitely come back. I can say without a doubt, it has being one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Chicago
The Purple Pig is rarer than a purple squirrel
One of the best restaurants in Chicago. Love the Duck Croquettes with Provolone, Apple, Eggplant Puree + Kimchi. Also enjoy some Pork Liver & Bacon Paté with Fried Sage + Grape Mostarda and the Foie Gras Terrine with Blueberry Jam + Hazelnut Pas
One of Chicago’s finest
We missed this wonderful restaurant during the height of the pandemic but it still fires on all cylinders. Each dish we ordered was outstanding, beautifully executed and memorable. Were locals and think the only reason more locals vs. tourists don’

Great service--sat at the bar and shared tapas and a bottle of wine. We went solely off the recommendations of the bartender and everything was spectacular.
Wait for a table and you won't regret it
Be prepped for a wait but it's worth it. We sat at the counter facing the food prep which is all that was available when we showed up, but it was so fun watching the plates go out. All the food was tremendous, especially the bread options!
Love me some Purple Pig!
We went here for the first time about ten years ago..and we were so happy to have the opportunity to come back to Chicago and go to the PURPLE PIG! The menu has grown and is very eclectic. I wanted everything but went back to what I had before: the
We tried the duck and the risotto.
Both were amazing but the duck is in its own category. It was done so well!

Great food , good service and fair pricing ! What more can you ask for right?! Recommended. I highly recommend making a reservation as this place is getting popular by the day .

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Purple Pig Restaurant Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Purple Pig Restaurant Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at The Purple Pig Restaurant Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Purple Pig Restaurant Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
