Delicious wines and small plates. Attentive and quick service. Good location if you're on North Michigan Ave. Several size pours so you can taste a variety of wines if you choose. The space heaters on the walkway are a nice touch with a glass of wine while you wait.

This place is wonderfu! First, friendly warm welcoming smiles! And the most delicious pork shoulder ever!! You can eat it with just a fork! The wine list is exquisite and the staff is versed and can easily recommend a pairing or work off of what you feel like at the moment! Fine job Jimmy Jr. !!

Service lacking....drinks took as long as table wait..watch floors if you use the restroom...super slippery. Food was sup-par...seated at a table of 10 strangers with one chewing with mouth open is not acceptable...food not worth the price...waitstaff could be a lot more attentive.
