“We used to come here for brunch quite often many years ago until we stopped. It wasn't because there was anything wrong, but the brunch menu just didn't change a whole lot. Today is the first time we are back for the happy hour. The service was great, there are good selections on the happy hour menu. There are a few draft beers, nothing main stream or imports, but the wines cover most of the categories. The food offerings were awesome. The portions were much bigger than we expected, and for $10 a pop, happy hour is definitely a great deal. The only disappointment was that the garlic knots were not very garlicky at all, that would've been perfect. The salad was fresh, the meat balls were tender and I love the marinara sauce. We would definitely come back for the rest of the menu.”
“My first time here and the staff, the manager and the ambiance is top tier. I will be back sooner than later.”
“Посетили зимой как новогодний поп ап бар. Очень уютно, приглущенный свет, вкусные коктейли , не супер сладкие, а гармоничные. Happy hour 3-5pm и лис коктейлей и закусок по 10$”
“The Christmas decorations and ambiance was amazing. They always play good music, the service was great, and the food is greatly underestimated. Perfect place for a date or a fun time woth friends .”
“Their Christmas Inn gets better every year. Seasonal cocktails were so rad. Photo opps plenty and loved their Ho Ho happy hour. Get those lobster tail bites! @chicagopescetarian”
“This place is awesome if you’re a die hard Christmas theme person, great decorations and friendly staff. Downsides are it was an absolute zoo by 5 o’clock and $50+ for two cocktails is a lot”
“I came here for an event, and according to the event, the establishment didn't meet the expectations. I paid for a ticket, and i expected what was stated on the ticket besides the drink. Don't book events here very unfortunate. Book at your own risk. Update i gave them another try this time was a little better. One female bartender had a little attitude. The pizza is good but the popcorn chicago i didn't care for. I went to wine tasting event overall it was decent.”
“They took an hour to get our order (even though the restaurant was empty) AND She forgot to add our pizza in (so we never got that) Atmosphere and Christmas decor was amazing though, drinks were great too.”
“Planned on visiting the 3 floors of holiday decorations. Arrived at the location and was told the top 2 floors were closed for private events. This info is not stated on the website when purchasing. So glad I didn't purchase the ticket ahead of time. My gas, parking and time were wasted.”
“Why is it impossible to speak to staff by phone? Didn't feel like cooking & ordered this to celebrate good grades! This is the 3rd order I placed here. I usually like 1 of 3 or 4 things but the items are so unique, I give it another try. This time the bacon was burnt to a crisp, the beef "wellingtons" shown on GH were actually their empanadas, and more like minced meat in a soft, soggy pastry. Anyone who's ever eaten beef wellington like I have would be outraged! There is no dullexes and was a waste of $. The spicy rigatoni pasta is large but very overrated. I will eat it only because it's FOOD, after pouring a better red sauce on top. The lobster bites were incredible and the only thing I enjoyed this time! The sauce is complementary. Too bad you only get a few small pieces. I would've preferred a large order of those. They do arrive somewhat soft so I used the toaster oven. $75.98 spent before tip, when only worth the cost of the lobster bites. The peach pizza I liked on my 1st order 2 months ago isn't even on the menu. Also, have I always been getting a 4% surcharge? How do you even remove this for a 3rd party delivery app? This may be my last time ordering. Edit: If they wanted me to reach out, they would provide valid contact info. The phone line is just a robo call line”
