Seasonal, creative pasta-driven spot with standout dishes and polished vibes, but mandatory 25% service charge and occasional service inconsistencies mean great meals can feel pricey.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Daisies delivers competitive neighborhood dining through exceptional house-made pastas and creative seasonal cooking paired with knowledgeable service, but inconsistent execution and occasional oversalted dishes prevent grade A territory. Slow pacing between courses and the mandatory 25% service charge further temper what would otherwise be a stronger value proposition for a lively Logan Square destination.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling with a modern farmhouse vibe and a packed bar that sets the tone. Servers often guide you through the menu, swapping plates and resetting silverware between courses. One diner summed it up: "Service was kind and the food landed beautifully." Prices feel premium, and the mandatory 25% service charge surprises some, but many still leave glowing about the experience. The cooking leans creative and produce-driven rather than showy: agnolotti with beets and trout roe, lamb-sugo stracci, and rabbit sugo over chitarra. The culinary approach leans contemporary and produce-driven: modern twists on comforting formats, with occasional salt or pacing missteps. When it hits, it is deeply satisfying, the kind of pasta that makes people plan a return visit. For families, this is adult-leaning dining. While there are approachable items like onion dip, simple salads, and classic desserts, most mains skew adventurous and may challenge picky eaters. No clear kids menu appears; expect premium pricing and longer meals rather than quick family fare.
