    The food was really good & the service was amazing! The main negative is the noise level, it is very loud so it is hard to hear each other…

    The apple tart was the most delicious dessert! We also really enjoyed the mussels, the broth they’re in is outstanding! Jacob our waiter was incredible and it was so nice to meet Lindsay, one of the managers!

    The Smith was amazing as it always is. This was the completion of our mission to go to every location. I will put Chicago as number 3 after Nomad and Lincoln Center. Allison was great it was a great experience overall!

    Food was excellent! Some of the best grits that I have ever had! The frozen paradise colada drink was to die for. And we had a wonderful server, Mara. She was very friendly, energetic, and efficient! The food came out in a very timely manner, and we enjoyed everything from the calamari to our omelettes And drinks!  it’s a must if you go to Chicago!
