    The food was amazing there and our waiter was very, very good and thorough. Very fresh. I would recommend cleaning the restrooms a little bit more often though I know it’s busy, but food was amazing …

    The seafood was fabulous and fresh. Decent portion sizes for the money, but still expensive. The restaurant space is like a greenhouse, and is a little crowded. It is loud inside. We would go back.

    Great selection of fish that is deliciously prepared. The glass covered heated courtyard makes the restaurant suitable to enjoy with Chicago’s weather.

    Really enjoyed it. Staff and food was excellent. It’s loud so if that bothers you it may not be the place for you. That said. It didn’t bother us.

    I made a reservation via OpenTable, but the man “hosting” didn't care to look us up. Their outside seating is far preferable to inside, but we were only given a table next to the fish case, and we had no server. Food was very good when we finally received it, but this was the worst service experience that I have had in years.

    The food and wait staff were terrific, I just feel it's too pricey for me to visit more often though I would LOVE to!
