“Great location, great service, great menu. Even better happy hour deals (available Monday to Friday from 3-5 PM). I had the Peach Cobbler Cocktail, French Onion soup, and 1/2 order of Nachos. Everything was delicious and quality. I came in for some quick appetizers in between jobs, I will definitely return for a real dinner soon!”

“Great restaurant, nice ambiance, friendly staff, tasty food! What more can someone ask for! The prices were similar to San Francisco, maybe a bit pricey for Chicago standards, but certainly worth it!”
“First time here today and it was delicious. I had the heart of the night which was a perfect blend of spicy margarita with a little kick but not over the top and the nachos did not disappoint. Environment was enjoyable and the beautiful architecture and styling inside created a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!”
“PHENOMENAL everything! My husband and I were on our way to Navy Pier, walking through Chicago to celebrate our one year marriage anniversary. Found out our usual place to eat was closed, so we wandered around! We found this place and decided to try it! Best decision ever! We had the prime steak frites! The meat was delicious, the fries were seasoned perfectly, and the sauce complimented everything! Our server was wonderful! He was very polite, funny, and pleasant all around! The staff was also wonderful! The gentleman that refills water made sure that we never refilled our own glasses! He always took our plates away, almost immediately once we finished! We will absolutely be coming back next year to celebrate!”
“Súper rica la comida pedimos una pasta en salsa vodka con camarones! Solo que es un poco picante pero muy rica y de entrada pedimos unos calamares! 10 de 10 este lugar”
“I had the Lobster bites and it was delicious. My co-worker had the Caesar Salad and said it was a “real” Caesar salad with anchovies and said it was really good. We would definitely eat there again.”
