A perfect experience! We went for my birthday, and boy do they do it right! They greeted me with a birthday card once we sat down, and even gave me a candle on my sundae. And in between was wonderful food, a chill music playlist, and great drinks too. One of my favorite places downtown… thank you for taking care of us!

An unforgettable team dinner and experience from start to finish! We had our team dinner at Billy Sushi, followed by drinks at BAD (Billy After Dark), and the entire evening was exceptional. Billy Sushi truly lives up to its philosophy of sushi being a “Celebration of Fish.” From the beautiful presentation and incredible flavors to the energy of the restaurant, everything felt intentional, lively, and special. What really stood out was that it wasn’t simply dinner. It felt like an experience. The sushi chefs, bartenders, and service team created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect place for our team to relax, connect, and enjoy an amazing meal together. Ending the evening at BAD, the speakeasy beneath Billy Sushi, was the perfect finishing touch. The atmosphere was unique, sophisticated, and fun, and it made our team dinner even more memorable. Fantastic food, creative cocktails, wonderful service, and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Billy Sushi and BAD absolutely delivered. We will definitely be back!

Lovely experience, worth parking downtown for. When your salad is so tasty it might be better than your (also good) steak, it's a pretty fine meal.

Our wait staff was wonderful and the food was amazing. We went for my daughter‘s birthday and she loved it. She was able to try bone marrow for the first time and now understands why we love it.

Esther's Table is a secret everyone needs to know. Everyone loved what they ordered. The ambiance added an extra layer to an excellent night. You almost feel like you are in someone's dining room having a home cooked meal. Definitely try it, you won't be disappointed.

We first came to Borough when you opened 13 years ago, and we shall miss you. It has been our go-to place in the North Loop. Tim, thank you as always for charming and great service.
