Message from Cuatro

The Food Cuatro strives to bring the traditional flavors of Latin American and Caribbean cuisines in a modern, yet down-to-earth fashion; our approach is one of simplicity and boldness of flavors with an emphasis on popular mexican cooking. The Space Exposed beams, floor-to-ceiling windows, and well-spaced seating give this historic motor row style building an open, airy feel. Cuatro's earth toned walls and warmly lit interior blend with colorful accents and rustic stained floors. Dark-stained walnut tables with plush chairs and booths welcome our patrons to a comfortable environment to dine in or relax and unwind at the bar. Its centerpiece, a hand-crafted ebony bar, featuring an eight foot, see-into-the-kitchen tropical fish tank, caba?a like louvered shutters and ocean motifs pull together Cuatro's latin-caribbean style.

Upscale South Loop restaurant sizzles with Latin American-Caribbean flavors, live music and a late-night menu and bar scene.

The Scene
Contemporary and welcoming, this South Loop spot has exposed ceiling beams and ducts, floor-to-ceiling windows and an aquarium behind the bar offering views to the adjacent kitchen. Earthy tones dominate the warmly lit space punctuated by splashes of aqua and vibrant paintings. Anchorhing the room, an ebony bar houses see-and-be-seen types and girls-night-out groups while they wait for tables. Banquettes to the left and nicely spaced booths and tables in the dining areas to the right provide formal seating.

The Food
The Latin American and Caribbean menu offers starters like light , fresh salmon and bay scallop seviche; chunky-creamy roasted corn and potato chowder; and delicate, cilantro-laced tamales filled with chicken and poblano peppers. Entrees include a fall-off-the-bone beer-braised short rib whose richness is offset by a tart tomatillo salsa. Stuffed with poblano peppers and cheese, the golden oven-roasted, bone-in chicken breast has robust flavor. For dessert: delectable Oaxacan chocolate mousse cake.
