   The hanger steak was phenomenal! Very good meal for Restaurant Week. Very good value for the price.

   We enjoyed our dinner here. Started with broccoli cheddar soup and Parker rolls. So good! And had the short rib and then fried chicken. Both were so good. My husband said his chicken was better than chicken at husk in Nashville and IYKYK that’s saying something. I’ll be back for sure!

   Went there with my wife for Restaurant Week after having made a reservation through Open Table. 7:00 p.m. reservation, confirmed. When we arrived at the restaurant, the server - who was very polite - informed us that the Restaurant Week menu was all done for the day (?!?). We decided to stay and after looking over the menu, we both chose an entreé that had been part of the RW menu, only to be told by the server that the kitchen was out of that item. At that point we decided to go elsewhere.

   We got a reservation in advance to try out the restaurant week menu. Upon sitting down, half the items were not available anymore. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere.

   The servers weren’t very attentive. We didn’t have spoons on the table for our coffee. We had to flag their attention a few times for our needs and it didn’t appear too busy at the restaurant. So I wasn’t too happy with the service. The food wasn’t memorable, at least for the Restaurant Week brunch. I might come back another time to check out their regular menu.

   First off we can see the valet driver sitting in my car and talking with his friend for like 20 minutes. This caused a reduction in gas. The waiter was perfect however that food was not fresh at all. This was a learning experience. We now know not to eat there ever again.

   Overall, the food was not very good. The prices were high even though we were there for restaurant week we still ended up paying more. Cheap sports bar theme inside a hotel. Would not recommend.

   After checking out of our Hotel Eurostar we decided to try River North Bistro. We tried the Hot Honey Chicken which was pretty standard- though we didn't really taste any "heat" or any honey. This dish was still acceptable as it was crunchy and had flavor. Our second course was the Egg Scramble which was pretty good.... We should've added some sort of meat to it as that's all it was personally missing. The service was superb. We didn't wait long for anything and they extremely quick with everything. I will definitely be back to check out more of their menu.
