If it seems like HUB 51 is a continual party, that's just what creators R.J. and Jerrod Melman want. Their dad, Lettuce founder Rich Melman, always told them that the restaurant business should be fun, and, as Jerrod now interprets that advice, "We want to be as playful as possible, and have a good time with our customers and the people we work with." "Our goal for the menu was to create food we like to eat," says R.J. They loaded it up with sushi, tacos, sandwiches and burgers. Great salads and appetizers like the arugula Caesar and Pulled Chicken Nachos appeal to the bar crowd, while the filet mignon steak tacos and the charred sake salmon serve notice that HUB 51 is providing both a great time and wonderful food. With dozens of beers, wines and sakes, HUB 51 is all about what you like.If it seems like HUB 51 is a continual party, that's just what creators R.J. and Jerrod Melman want.

Overall I would have given this restaurant 4 stars if my boyfriend and I hadn't had such an unfortunate experience at the bar. Our bartender decided to tip himself $2 extra dollars after we had already given him $2 for one beer and a cranberry vodka. That was really disappointing, and the call to management was even more disappointing the next day when they told us there was nothing they could do because they get so many credit card receipts a day.

My dinner was average. I had the Chilean Sea Bass which was bland and needed some spice or some type of kick. The horseradish broth was more like a stock of some sorts with alot of salt but no other flavors joining it. I thought my Hub Punch had more flavor.

My boyfriend had The Dude and he enjoyed every bite. I managed to sneak a bite and I figured that maybe I just ordered something that wasn't for my taste. Our waitress was really sweet and coaxed us into dessert which we loved! I would go back just for Aunt someone's pie (I can't remember the name).

Great cocktails and service. A great spot to chill if you plan on being the downtown shopping area of Chicago near the Magnificent Mile.
