Best date-night restaurants in Logan Square

Logan Square date night in this directory splits into a cafe that still saves tables for walk-ins, a new 50-seat bistro with a 30-day book, and a counter that does not take walk-ins. Daisies’ site still will not print an hour.

Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Booking notes were checked on the date under each restaurant. A restaurant can change the window after that.

Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.
