Reminiscent of a day when the kitchen table was the cornerstone of American cooking...

Located in the center of the Loop on the Chicago River's south bank, South Water Kitchen offers an ideal destination for locals and visitors alike. Stop in for a bite before or after the performance at one of the nearby Theater District venues or while shopping on nearby State Street and the Michigan Mile.

In a tribute to the kitchen as the center of home, South Water Kitchen recalls when the family meal was the most important time of the day and provides a connection to this American heritage. You'll find straightforward American favorites served with a modern touch. Our tribute is shown in our T.V. Dinners Specials featured Monday through Friday during lunch.

Designed by the Puccini Restaurant Group, the 169-seat South Water Kitchen's décor complements its American menu through the warm colors, strong columns and intimate lighting you'll find throughout. South Water Kitchen brings the comforts of home to the bustling streets of downtown Chicago.
