A neighborhood restaurant though and through, The Warbler offers modern American cuisine with Asian influences. A light and airy space outfitted with large windows and comfy furniture serves as the backdrop for seasonal, home style cuisine, from signature vegetable dishes, fresh baked flatbreads to house made pasta—sprawling 125 seat outdoor patio with outside bar included.
“I have had the burger, the wings, the mushroom soup, cookie skillet and more. I can’t say how many times I’ve been here but in every season it’s been the place to be. I highly recommend the non-alcoholic drinks they are so refreshing and I have never found anything that matches it. We sometimes go by just for a small bit and the drinks. Cookie skillet usually. And oddly enough we’ve seen it change a lot where it will super shallow, thicker, soft…the recipe seems to change and idk it’s worked most of the time. The place is always clean, has great service and the atmosphere and design is absolutely it.”
“Delicious food. The mushroom soup is phenomenal! The service was perfect: polished and professional, yet easy and relaxed. Such a warm and welcoming staff.”
“Had a really nice lunch at The Warbler. The space is warm, calm, and welcoming, with a relaxed neighborhood feel. The food was fresh and well balanced. The grilled salmon salad was light and flavorful, the fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the burger was simple but done right juicy patty, soft bun, melted cheese, and good pickles. Drinks were refreshing and service was friendly and easygoing. A great spot for a casual lunch, meeting friends, or enjoying a meal on your own. Would definitely come back.”
“We came here with the sole purpose of walking around the shops of Lincoln Square afterwards. They had the game on at the bar and the crowd looked friendly and the bar didn’t look too crowded. We started the meal with the crispy cauliflower and a mushroom soup - both were very much enjoyable. None of the sandwiches blew our socks off - maybe we ordered wrong but the fries were a hit. Our server was friendly and the bathrooms were clean and aside from a small mix-up on one of the customizations on a sandwhich, the meal went off without a hitch. Noise level was manageable and even sitting by the kitchen wasn’t an issue.”
“I’ve wanted to try this place for a long time. My Husband and I stopped in for lunch. Overall, everything was great. The Decor is quite nice, and the staff is friendly and on point. We enjoyed the food. I had the mushroom soup and a whipped ricotta and Crostini appetizer. The whipped ricotta with blueberries was amazing. I took the leftovers home and had it for breakfast. The next morning. My chief complaint is the noise level. The acoustics in the restaurant are not great and with all the people talking, it gets extremely noisy to the point you have trouble carrying on a conversation with the people at your table. Perhaps I’ll try to find a time when they are not quite so busy and try it again.”
