Great food! Small plate servings but not too small to share. Our waiter recommended two items per person but don't do it. We had too much food! I'll definitely go back!

I love sitting at the bar, right there on the line watching them all communicate cook watching the heat the pan communication the many “yes Chefs” that go back-and-forth between the cooks. It really makes me long for those days again. The almost military like Percision of want to kitchen actually homes and the food that comes out of it is completely unforgettable. I look forward to coming back soon.

Service were good, but the food is overrated. Ordered four dishes, either over salted or bland. Did not enjoy at all even just for a simple lunch. The two stars is for the adequate service provided even thou the server took a bit long to come back to us. The calamari rings were tiny and tasteless fried Pig ears were like eating over salted fluffy fries. Dissapointing.

Amazing. Best meal I had in Chicago. Excellent wine list, and their “by the glass” selection is very extensive too, which allowed me to experiment on some interesting varieties without having to commit to a full bottle. We also got very lucky becaus that night they had a whole pig’s face as a special, and it was awesome. Great wine, great food, long wait, but all very well worth it!

I was in town for a conference and had one of the best surprise meals ever. The food and wine were fabulous but when you have a fantastic server as well, thanks Audrey, it really makes the experience memorable.

We ordered and sat down. They brought the breakfast special to my boyfriend immediately and never brought my breakfast even though we had already paid for it. We never received silverware �. My boyfriend had to go ask for my breakfast as the order never made it to the kitchen. I jumped up and retrieved the silverware. He finished eating prior to me ever getting my food. While the food quality was good, the experience was sub-par. Nothing was done for our inconvenience. They stated they had at least a thousand people through ... read more
