Our waiter, Mike, was great. My glass of wine was very generous. The food was quite good as far as flavor but the presentation was not as well done as other restaurants. The menu is large and varied so there is something for everyone here.

Always a wonderful experience. We enjoy going for Thanksgiving dinner, as I love turkey but my wife doesn’t. So with the rest of their excellent menu to choose from and the excellent Traditional Thanksgiving dinner for me, we are both happy and quite stuffed. Great, friendly service. This has been a tradition for us for over 15 years. We are NEVER disappointed.

One of my fav dining spots in downtown Chicago. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. The food is delicious. The servers are friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the huge variety of menu options. I always request Tomas as my waiter. He’s simply THE BEST! A wonderful experience all around.
