What a lovely place to be at! The vibes are really cute and the menu is more Chinese American. I really appreciated that they made all of their alcoholic special non-alcoholic as well. All of the food was very yummy. My personal favorites were the gr

This was one of those meals that you were actively thinking about the next time you'll have it during the meal. I highly suggest making reservations because walk in around dinner time could be a 2 hour wait. They have ample bar seating as well

Wonderful food, fun but laid back atmosphere, friendly bartenders and reasonable prices. The cocktails are great, the Hamm's/shot & egg roll is my favorite combo of all time and we love the food. So many egg rolls are disappointing in life,

Connect with users posting reservations for Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar Chicago

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.

Read More on How Seller Track Record and the Bid Process Works Read More Action Icon

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar Chicago at 6 PM the same day.

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.

Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.

2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.

4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
