Sushi and Pizza? It works!
Living in this restaurant desert, The Sit Down is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. On the sushi: they have a sushi bar with sushi chefs who know their stuff. It's the real deal, not some menu add-on gimmick. Their pizzas are gourmet style, thin, not too much sauce and high in quality ingredients. You won't go wrong with sandwiches and salads either. The soups are delish (pasta fagiole is 2 thumbs up). A bunch of their items are gluten free, just ask! The decor is so un-Hyde Park, and for a local, that is refreshing.

Nice addition
I agree, not many options in Hyde Park. I go down there once a month. Usually during the day. So i never stopped at park 52. Chant I have and its a bit dark and loud for me. Food is OK. I stopped at The Sit Down for thh first time Friday. Very happy with It. My friend I was with ordered sushi. She liked. I had the roman style pizza as I was explained it was, which was very thin and tastey. Very Light I didn't feel stuffed afterwards. So I liked it.

Fantastic New Restaurant in Hyde Park
Like many city neighborhoods, Hyde Park has long suffered from a dearth of really good, modern restaurant offerings some ethnic places have great food, but really down-in-the-heels decor and service. Other places may look OK, but the food is mediocre at best and the service inconsistent. Sit Down Cafe & Sushi Bar, along with Park52 and Chant, represents a welcome wave of contemporary restaurants breaking in HP. Don't be put off by the combo of sushi and non-Japanese offerings. Rather, think of Sit Down as a small-plates kind of place, with sushi, soups, salads, sandwhiches, a few entrees you can gorge on really fresh sushi, or nosh on a variety of tasty little dishes and hang out. The decor is what you would hope for and expect in a contemporary Chicago restaurant. The service is delightfully free of the quirks and drama at other HP establishments. The ingredients are SUPER FRESH, both the sushi/sashimi fish and the veggies, picked early from Hyde Park Produce. This is a great new place that has food, decor and service down. I hope Hyde Parkers embrace it.
