    We were in town for a convention and a group of 11 dined here. The food was superb, the ambiance was gorgeous, and a time was had by all. Each of us walked away fat, full and satisfied. Most had steak, that was cooked to perfection. The French onion soup packed a punch, the drinks were scrumptious. This is a much dine when you're in the Chicagoland area.

    The ambience is so lovely and great for a date. I liked the drinks too. However, we had a bizarre experience with the waitress. I am not sure if she was having trouble hearing us, but she did not listen to our requests at every interaction. It was in one ear and out the other. An example: when we sat down, she greeted us and asked if we would be ordering food or just here for drinks, we said yes we would be ordering food but drinks first. She proceeded to take our food menus and plates away, and said if we changed our minds about food she could bring them but but she’d give us time to look at drinks… ?? Confusing because we had just said we would be ordering food just not right away. In another scenario too, we mentioned wanting to order another round of drinks and she seemed to acknowledge it but then walked away? Bizarre. That being said, I would still go back!
