Do not get the chocolate cake. Our entire party took one bite and looked at each other and put our forks down. The rest of the food was average, expected more at the price range. I wouldn’t recommend.

The minute we walked in, they made us feel VIP. We celebrated a milestone birthday and requested a window view of the Chicago River. They accommodated and provided special birthday touches. A card and free dessert with a candle included. The best was the food. Amazing !
