    It was basically fine, however we were surprised to receive our food literally 3 minutes after we ordered which suggested it was just sitting under a heat lamp.

    All seemed well at first. Our table was ready at our reserved time. However our sever could have not wanted to be there less. It set the mood off from the start. We ordered 2 appetizers that come out very quickly, which was great. However they are very greasy and subpar tasting. We ordered dinner and the best way to describe the meals would be “hospital food” or “wedding reception food”. It was clearly premade and reheated as ordered. Simply gross and underwhelming. Luckily a Taco Bell is directly across the street. This is one Chicago restaurant I wont return to. PS. I did take the mostly uneaten chicken home for my doggies. They loved it!! :)

    Excellent experience. Generous food portions both in appetizers and entrees. Our waiter was attentive, kept our drinks filled and checked on us regularly without being pushy. I suggest getting a reservation through open table to secure seating.

    Had lunch here with my family. Lots of vegetarian options- I had the quinoa bowl and it was delicious. The rest of the omnivorous fam enjoyed their meals as well. Service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.
