What the critics are saying about erwin...
One of 60 of Chicago Magazine's critics most
favorite restaurants in the November, 1999 issue
"Things are wonderfully straightforward at the
intimate little gem called erwin on the north side of Chicago."
Barbara Fairchild - Bon Appetit
"From my phone call to the size of the check
and everything in between, everything was as it should be.
And I was particularly impressed with the savvy of the service
staff...erwin has very good food at very reasonable prices.
That's the beauty of his menu. There is excellence mixed
with whimsy."
Pat Bruno - The Chicago Sun Times
"The restaurant calls attention to itself with
Drechsler's terrific cooking, disarmingly simple-sounding but
uncommonly thoughtful, his ingredients combining as though they
were meant to be together."
Phil Vettel - The Chicago Tribune
"Matching wine with food has become a much more
complex task as cooks and sommeliers have brought recipes and
wines from around the world to the United States, while a
profession of both have been created here at the same time.
One restaurateur who is enjoying the challenge is Erwin
Drechsler."
William Rice - The Chicago Tribune
"Drechsler's cooking seems to derive from the
idea of essence...for instance, take an old Eastern European
recipe and make it a more contemporary experience. I
compliment the Drechsler's for the freshness and ingenuity of
their approach to the culinary art."
Sherman Kaplan - WBBM News Radio
"Every once in a while I get to try a new
restaurant that really excites me. Most of the time eating
at the latest spot is my job, but sometimes it is my pleasure.
That was certainly the case with erwin."
Eileen Howard - River North News
"Everybody was right. erwin is a classy,
sophisticated restaurant with a friendly, knowledgeable staff, and
amazingly good food at reasonable - make that bargain - prices.
Billed as an American cafe and bar, erwin's low-key woody
atmosphere and young, energetic staff give it a chic but
unpretentious feel that I found immensely appealing."
Tony Raimondo - Skyline Newspaper
"Erwin's is a delightfully straightforward,
unintimidating restaurant producing great food in an interesting
atmosphere."
Georgia Gooch - The Daily Herald
