The lamb ribs. The lamb ribs. The lamb ribs. Do it!
I have been looking forward to coming to the purple pig for a long time and I was not disappointed. It is a bustling place and thankfully I was seated at a community table within minutes. The service was absolutely fantastic as they gave great recommendations on wine and food. Some of the wines I had were the velvety numanthia termes from toro, an intense aglianico, and a powerful nebbiolo. It was an eclectic wine selection.

I ate there twice on my last trip to Chicago. Very friendly staff, quick service, and great food!
John is a fabulous server. Very knowable and accommodating. Great food, great service!
The manchengo cheese was scrumptious! So were the chicken thigh kabobs. Definitely worth going back to. Small /mediated portions, but it's all about the flavor!
Absolutely fantastic service paired with great food and the perfect wine (recommended by the staff) made this a great experience. We will be back.
Simply the Best!!!! Food , Drink and Service was awesome!!!
I thought the staff worked really hard but saw some gang related tattoos which made me think about there staff. i felt i couldnt even get a job there because standereds were geared to people of this sub culture.. Like only this type can work here.. and no one else..
Truth be told, this place was victim of its popularity. The waits were unbearable while the staff tried as best as it could to accommodate. Recently, with the arrival of Eataly across the way, the lines have become more manageable. Today at noon we were seated immediately. Just don't let people know :-)
