“My partner and I are tourists here in Chicago, and we visited around 9PM on a Saturday. It was populated but not packed and busy, and the atmosphere and interior was calm and elegant. We were able to comfortably chat and enjoy our booth without difficulty. I had the Crispy Brick Chicken which I thought was amazingly tender and delicious, complemented with potatoes and veggies. My partner had the Steak Frites, and while the fries were fantastic, the steak was just slightly undercooked but was otherwise juicy, tasty, and easy to eat. We shared the Truffle Mac & Cheese on the side and thought it was seriously good! Service was great, staff were attentive and came by to check on us often but were not intrusive and that's something we appreciated. Overall, well worth the price compared to other spots nearby, we loved it here.”
