DiningOut: Why did you decide to partner with Dining Out on the Passbook?
Patrick Cullen: Because DiningOut is the go-to eating and drinking guide for those visiting Chicago.
Why should guests take advantage of this opportunity?
It’s a great value and gives the diner an opportunity to try multiple dishes!
What do you want people to experience when they dine with you?
We’re all about the energy that comes from being in the middle of a neighborhood. The whole team is on-board with the idea that when you come through our door, you are a guest in our home.
That warmth and a focus on building relationships with our neighbors are very important to us. Beyond that, we have an outstanding cocktail program and dinner menu – with a focus on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.
What makes Presidio a unique dining experience?
We really focus on giving an elevated but approachable experience. A spot you can get dressed up for a date or a night out with your parents but also a place to grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a couple dishes and cocktails on your own.
What are some of your favorite menu items right now?
The dinner menu is constantly changing so it’s exciting to see what chef will be offering. We also update the theme of our cocktail menu every few months.
How would you describe the Chicago food scene?
Chicago gets a great deal of international attention for the excellent things going on in our scene—and rightfully so. But, what I think makes Chicago so great is that there is always a new neighborhood, under the radar bar, or restaurant to discover.
