My mother and I had an early lunch there yesterday. Our server, Cesar, was great! Really friendly and fun. We ordered four small plates, one entree and two desserts. They were all wonderful, but the broccoli was ridiculously good! I can't wait to go back!!

Think TV kitchen with head chef calling items and about ten eager and well trained sous-chefs calling back. That's what I witnessed sitting at the chefs bar. These guys and gals had quality and taste at the forefront. I had the special of the night. A portugués sardine dish and the chicken kabobs with fried smashed potatoes and ztatziki. All perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was loud and busy in a good kind of way.

My first dinner in Chicago and, despite a very touristy location just off Michigan Avenue, a surprising Goodness! This place is all about sharing tapas and mezes, which I love. Vegetarians, don’t be alarmed by the name, there is a great selection of non-meat choices. And, as you can guess from the TPP motto – “cheese, swine and wine” – there is a great collection of the latter. Enjoy!
