I have to say I sat at the bar, got amazing drinks, the food was a totally lip smacking. I have to give a special shout out to Arthur for being such a nice bartender. Definitely have to come and request Arthur and yapp it up with him while enjoying a great atmosphere! I also have to add that the playlist is absolutely killer. Chefs kiss on top!

The staff is so wonderful. Steve was fantastic. They had good food, live music, nice atmosphere. The staff all signed a birthday card and made me such a delicious birthday dessert. They are incredibly thoughtful and each and every person had a smile of their face. We really enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend

Food... pretty decent! My steak was cooked perfect to order (medium-rare, as if there's any other way to eat a steak lol), juicy, tender, and delicious. The garlic bread fondue was dank. Was thrown a little by the fondue poured over the bread, but it was tasty nonetheless! Service... meh. My water glass was always full, which I always appreciate and expect at full service restaurants. But I don't think our actual waiter checked in on us once during the course of our meal. And we sat for a considerably lengthy amount of time well after we were finished eating. I had to flag our waiter down so we could get a to-go box and our bill. Anyway, they were really busy and I think our waiter may have been alone or didn't have much help. That may have contributed to the long wait and inattentive service. Would I return? ...🤔 Yes. Yes, I would. I'm chalking the poor service up to being busy and understaffed. I can look past that. The food was good and there were still several options on the menu I wouldn't mind trying.

This was the more high end place I was looking forward to on my trip to Chicago, I had the steak burger with the fries. It really was just a burger and fries, but I blame that on my boring ordering choices. But it kinda felt as if the menu was very limiting on what they had to offer, and seemed almost a refined taste selection. The service was impressive and the atmosphere especially the restrooms were amazing, a huge go to for people who want something more on the refined style of Chicago.

Came here for dinner with my friends before we saw a play at the Goodman Theater and everything was delicious! I didn't think the Gouda fondue would change my life, but here we are. The chicken wings are a little spicy with the hot glaze!!! Yum yum yum
