“Savannah was Amazing, food lobster rolls juicy and sweet, I go oysters they were fresh amd yummy also started with the crab bisque soo good. So enjoyable during our trip to Chicago”
“Yes I really enjoyed my time here , and my food was good, the atmosphere is phenomenal”
“We thought this was going to be a horrible experience but Mia and Chris at the upstairs bar made our night! I ate like a gluten free queen! I had the fish sandwich and we shared the seafood platter with fried scallops, shrimp, fish, onion straws and french fries. Everything was delicious, the service was top notch, and we all walked away with a new favorite Chicago restaraunt! They sent me home with a slice of gluten free key lime pie that I plan to have for breakfast. The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten and I felt completely confident eating there. Mia is even gluten free herself so she really understood the struggle.”
