    Haven't been here in about 10 years, and while the food was great (Restaurant Week!), the service was pretty bad. The owner's sister was at the check in and was completely overwhelmed. There were about 12 of us there for 2-top reservations between 6-6:30 and no seats; yet she saved a 6 top for someone who walked in at 6:20. We opted to grab a few bar seats that just opened instead of waiting longer. Server looked exhausted, barely spoke to us, and told us we were wrong about the side dish (online had a side dish, their menus didn't). So disorganized but good food. I'd recommend getting there really early or after 8.

    Delicious food and very fair prices. The Chicago Restaurant Week menu was amazing, and we'll be back to sample items from the regular menu. Even the pour on my glass of wine was generous -- and appreciated. We came early when things were calm. Halfway through our meal, there were about a dozen people at the door and hostess station waiting for tables. That made it difficult for the staff to serve. This is a testament to the popularity of the restaurant, and I'm sure it's more comfortable for all concerned during warmer weather (we were there in January) when folks can wait outside. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Anxious to go back!

    Really happy with our meal and experience here. Service was friendly and attentive, food was great and thought it was a great value. We sat at a table and had the Prixe Fixe special for two. It's really hard to beat. We'll be coming back for sure.

    A lively Saturday evening. People out for a good mean. I went for restaurant week and had the Norwegian Salmon with broccoli, and key lime pie. Good portions, great taste, very filling.
