   Great vibe. We went before a show for a light dinner. Very attentive staff to get us out in time. Lively atmosphere and good crab cake. I will be coming back!

   This was our second time eating here. We typically get a combination of apps and that is plenty. The food is delicious. It can be very crowded and the tables are close together so it can be loud.

   Beautiful restaurant with very good food and creative drinks. While the smash burger looks unassuming when placed in front of you the second you pick it up you know it's something special. It has some serious weight to it and it tastes really and I mean really good. My wife had the steak salad and loved it. The sangria was very good as well. Overall a great dinning experience.

   Lunch was great. Apparently, everything you order will be delicious, so flavorful. I look forward to my next visit.

   It was great! This was my first time there and I hosted clients. Everyone loved the food. The service was great. We had a corner round table so everyone could communicate together.

   When we arrived, they told us they just switched up the menu. The only reason we made a reservation was for the menu. We decided to stay because it’s hard to get last-minute reservations, but it took 1.5 hours to get our entrees. People were leaving and complaining all around us. Some of the food was in rough shape. To their credit, they comped our meal. The staff was wonderful, I hope this was just a bad night for them and it improves in a few weeks. Don’t write them off, but read the recent reviews before you give them a try. It’s disappointing to travel to a city and have SO many food options, then pick one that lets you down.

   Loved the salmon! Miss the old menu with tapas. Our server, Victoria, was excellent!

   Well, if we ever got our main dishes it would be a different review -- maybe. 1 hour and no serving, no explanation. 45 minutes into the wait we are told that they can't do the ham and cheese sandwich. No ingredients ?! Then we get another excuse after being told that the food was on the way in "3 minutes". The computer screens have gone blank. Offered comp on the food that we didn't get. Oh, and the lobster bisque was way too salty and the crab'cake' had no breading. Not a bad idea but not a crab cake. Needless to say, the service was terrible, the excuses worse than the airline random generator excuses. We'll never be back. And I have a thriving business in the Loop with lots of customers. Guess what. No nice business lunches for you. Good luck keeping open for the long haul after the initial splash.

   Wine and filet mignon were great. Great vibe in restaurant and a beautiful place for people watching.

    We had a wonderful time at dinner and the service was fantastic! It really enjoyed the restaurant overall. Desserts were off the charts and a great way to end the experience.
