Bring the Spicy Spaghetti Back! We had an early dinner on a Tuesday and sat in a booth. The atmosphere was fabulous. The pork chop with mac and cheese was yummy. Apple martini trio where two of them weren't even martinis, just in martini glasses = not so yummy but really strong. I'm not a big fan of goldschlager or so co, which is probably why. The menu is seasonal so if you wanted that spicy spaghetti, it's too late!

TWAS AWESOME!!!! – I love the atmosphere! The waiter was great! His recommendations were on point and I loved every single thing that went on my mouth. I went with two other women and needless to say all of our plates and glasses were completely empty when we left! DEFINITELY going back soon!!

New Chef... Better Food... I'll Be Back – We had a FANTASTIC meal before going to theatre. I wanted to stay for dessert, but it was getting late, so we''l be back and try some sweets next time. I also appreciated the large selection of wines by the glass and not named Mondavi. Great place to stop when in the Loop.

Great place for lunch I went here with a couple of friends for lunch. Their lunch prices are reasonable. ( It is more expensive during dinner time.) The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The service was great, even though they were busy when I was there.

Great location, not so great food or service – We sat in a great table outside on a Saturday night, however, overall, our party of three was disappointed with the quality of the food, as well as the service. The filet was overcooked and had to be sent back, and upon return, it was overcooked yet again and the quality of the filet was far less than you would receive at a wedding reception ("bad"). The pork chop was oversalted, but mac and cheese side was pretty tasty. Our waitress was disinterested and unfriendly, even though... read more

"watered down" on flavor and service – disappointing...food is fair, at best; service slow; not crowded on a saturday evening and we know why! spinach artichoke dip was bland, dinner salad soaked in dressing-unedible, potato leek soup, again, bland ....even the iced tea and coffee were weak. the only saving grace was the dessert. avoid it, too many other great places to eat in the same vacinity!

Good food, but restaurant is too smoky – Upscale American comfort food - we had excellent prime rib and a fork-tender braised lamb shank. The berry cobbler for dessert was delicious. This restaurant has a very large bar area up front that permits smoking. All the non-smoking seats are downstairs from the bar, and the cigarette smoke descends and is quite noticeable.
