“A fine kosjer restaurant, great food , arguably the best kosher restaurant in Chicago”
“Absolutely amazing!!!! The very best kosher restaurant I’ve ever been to! Kosher fine dining at its finest! My husband and I agree it was the best meal we’ve ever had. He had the surprise steak which was phenomenal! I had the short ribs which were perfection! We enjoyed soups, appetizers, sushi, the works. Just when we thought we were full to the brim and could not squeeze one more but in, I couldn’t resist the dessert menu. Somehow we practically managed to lick the plate of peanut butter mousse clean! It was the most wonderful evening! The ambience is wonderful! The service is superior to any other place I’ve been to. I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“We really enjoyed our exceptional dish. and the great attitude of all waitresses.”
“Loved our ribeye and shortrib. Had better Caesars. Loved the Jeruzalem garden cocktail and beit el cliff cariganan wine. Mario was an excellent waiter. We will be coming back”
“Incredible food — Simply incredible. I’ve been to many 5-Star steakhouses that don’t come close to the food here. Truly punching well above its weight. Kudos for the great vibe as well… overall a fantastic spot.”
“Great place. Amazing food and service. Lamb and beef tasted amazing, which is not an easy task with a kosher meat. Great experience, definitely recommend!”
“Excellent kosher steak house. Was very busy. Service was okay, not excellent. Private dining room worked out great for our private party”
“Very nice Restaurant with private dining rooms and all the amenities needed for a Kosher bistro. Everything in this place is Kosher which means No dairy since meat is served and No pork or shellfish. We came for Thanksgiving and they had a prefix menu. The turkey was so good with the sweet mashed potatoes and fresh vegetable vegetables.”
“First of all the food is horrible but the main issue is that they add automatically the 20% gratuity on the bill and taxed the gratuity as well, and on top of that they expecting another gratuity. When asked why they start screaming at the customers and said that we don’t want to give the waitress a tip to raise their kids. Absolutely mind blowing. It was not only us who told them that but another lady who said that happened to her as well. Do you really think your customers are stupid?”
