    Don’t waste your money. This is one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in years in the city. From the time we walked in where the hostess greeted us and then took 10 minutes to get us seated in a nearly empty restaurant and with a reservation, to the time we sat down having our food service totally rushed, and worst of all to the flavor of the food, which was completely lacking, This dinner was money wasted. The only saving grace was a well-made cocktail. We were told at just before 9 o’clock the chef wanted to know if we wanted dessert because they were closing up the kitchen. It was totally ridiculous.
    312 ChicagoResponded on 12 November 2024
    Buona sera Cory, I'm truly sorry that your experience with us fell short of your expectations. We strive to offer excellent food and service, so it's disappointing to hear we didn't meet that standard during your visit. Our kitchen closes at 8:30 PM, which prompted our server to ensure you had a chance to order desserts. We aim to clearly communicate the last call for orders, but it seems we missed the mark in your case, and I apologize for that. I would be delighted to personally ensure you receive the exceptional experience you deserve if you give us another chance. Warm Regards, Chef Marcello

    I dined alone, so I think my service was impacted by this. I didn’t get service until about 20 minutes after I sat down. I saw my drink sitting on the bar not being picked up by the server for another while. My first course and main were brought almost simultaneously - it seemed like they wanted to get me in and out quickly since I was dining alone. My server only checked on me once, as he was running by. The food was delicious and my after dinner beverage was comped by the bartender which I appreciate, and almost made up for the awful service. An okay option for a pre theatre dinner.

    the food was just OK. It was an anniversary dinner for my wife and I. All credit they gave us a nice intimate seating. Bar staff were very cordial. Our server was attentive. Just not excited by the menu. I accept my fault in making booking without really reviewing the menu closely. Not that the food wasn't well prepared just not really exciting.

    Manager, server(Robert), and bartender were great. Food was quite nice but pasta could have been hotter. Hostess was not very customer friendly.
