Fulton Market Kitchen

Hosted a Holiday Party for 60 people here today and everything was fabulous. The Event Manager Erin is attentive and worked hard to make it work with our budget and she did not let us down. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was a vibe and the staff made everything super easy. Great place for a private event, I can only imagine how great it would be to stop in for dinner and drinks with friends. Thanks for everything!!

7pm reservations after a day at the Shedd Aquarium was perfect. Started out with some really interesting drinks. See the video. Tasty drinks. The pork belly and prosciutto were the small plates and Salmon and Gnocchi were the large plates. I thought the salmon had some great Asian inspired flavor to it. The gnocchi I thought was just okay. Little too soft I thought but good flavor with the crab. The desert was alright. We’ve had a few pavlovas and this one doesn’t live up to the decedent versions we had. Deconstructed version with still some good flavor to them. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, drinks and service. The ambience was nice. Weird eclectic place. Love the candles. Different style rooms. Definitely would come back.

I came here for happy hour on a Thursday and I don’t understand how this place is not busier. Happy hour is 4-6pm and I arrived at 4:45pm and sat at the bar. The service from the bartenders was friendly and very helpful. I ordered the meatball and the cacio e pepe. Both were delicious and plenty of food for a happy hour serving. The gimlet was delicious. Definitely one of the best happy hours in Chicago right now.

How it started: This place is swanky, colorful, and hip. The vibe was grown and sexy. A nice groove. Diverse crowd. Since we had a reservation, we were shown to our table and offered water and menus. Very nice. Comfy half booths and tables with chairs. Our party was comfortable, but the smallish tables for our party of 3 were a little awkward when it was time to share our sharable plates. (More on that later). We perused the menu. I ordered the dealers choice drink. It was a great gamble. My drink was yummy! How it went: We ordered a nice assortment, shrimp baguettes, brussel sprouts, a meatball, truffled burrata and cacio e pepe. Mostly everything was really tasty, my favorite was the burrata. Others really enjoyed the sprouts. The pasta wasn't a favorite for any of us, and went mostly uneaten. It just wasn't a typical cacio e pepe. More like a fettuccine Alfredo 😒 about the tables... because there were 2 smallish tables right next to each other and we were talking, shuffling plates about, and socializing the tables were somewhat of a nightmare. The utensils fell thru when the tables got too far apart. 2 of us dropped our napkins, lol. That kind of deal. Other than that, no big issue. How it ended: the meal was enjoyable and filling. Sharing was a great suggestion from Kelsie. She was polite, patient, and the perfect hostess for our night out and first visit. We opted to not have dessert, but since we were celebrating a special occasion, we were offered a cheesecake. It was an amazingly special touch ❤️ and so appreciated. And so: I would definitely return to FMK and would recommend for a night out with friends, date night, or for a quick cocktail at the bar. The vibe is pleasant. Note, parking is a nightmare at dinnertime and FMK does not have valet. Plan ahead. Spothero or something.

Great place! Been there ones, ordered miscal margarita at the bar. 20 minutes later bar became very busy. Many people goes there. I asked a table for one, and ordered one more margarita and duck duck sandwich. Sandwich was delicious, but because of many people at the bar margarita was delaying. Then manager CAME TO MY TABLE with apologies and said that because of the delay my order is free. This made me feel good 😊 Those people really care about their costumers!
