" While Galit had excellent reviews, I have mixed feelings about my visit. The atmosphere was warm, and the attention to detail in presentation was noted. However, my main dish was a bit underwhelming compared to the hype surrounding the restaurant. The service felt attentive, but I would have appreciated more direction when it came to the menu. I do feel it’s worth checking out for those who appreciate rich Mediterranean flavors, especially the appetizers. " (*Curated Review*)

" An exceptional culinary experience overall! I went to Galit for an anniversary dinner and can say it was one for the books. Every single dish was well thought out, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Our waiter proved expert knowledge of the menu and wine pairings, enhancing our meal further. While the dessert featured delightful chocolates, they truly surprised us with an unexpected card congratulating us on our anniversary! A wonderful touch that made our evening special. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fabulous evening at Galit! My friends and I went there to enjoy a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint. Each dish encouraged us to explore flavors we've never had before, but the absolute highlight was the dessert! The staff went above and beyond, making me feel celebrated on my special day, which I will always remember. The experience is one I will highly recommend as my top destination for amazing Mediterranean cuisine in Chicago! " (*Curated Review*)

" We just had a family meal at Galit! Everyone enjoyed the food, and the portions were plentiful. The vibe was friendly, making it a fitting spot for our casual gathering. The service was decent, although slightly slow once we decided to order more drinks. Overall, I felt satisfied with my experience here, and I would recommend it for a fun family night out, just keep in mind to manage your expectations on timing! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a treat! I have to say, finding Galit was a pleasant surprise. From the moment I entered, the warm atmosphere captured my attention. The crispy falafel was delightful, and the standout dish was undoubtedly the brisket hummus. As for the service, it was attentive, though I did feel a little rushed as if seating was a premium. Thankfully the food made up for it! Overall, I would recommend Galit for its authentic flavors and vibrant ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Galit was a delightful experience overall. The food was rich in flavor and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the heirloom tomato salad, which was fresh and light. However, I had a little disappointment with one of the main courses being a bit bland. The servers were friendly and attentive, making sure all our needs were met, and the ambiance of the restaurant was enjoyable, though a bit lively. I will give it another try next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at Galit! The atmosphere was lively, and sitting at the kitchen bar was a treat. I recommend ordering the mezze platter—it’s a fantastic way to start your meal with diversity. Our main courses were beautifully cooked, but I wished the pacing had been slower; we felt a bit rushed through the meal. That said, the desserts were exquisite, especially the chocolate cake! I can’t wait to come back for another round of the hummus—it’s simply the best! " (*Curated Review*)
