When the waiter would eventually come to the table, only 1 of us would be able to order another drink before he would walk away leaving the rest of us not able to order our drinks.

There was a service charge on the bill and when asking the waiter what this was for he was not able to give us answer.

I made a reservation, specifically indicating we were there for the Chicago restaurant week menu.

I will not be returning here ever again.

The drinks were good, and the bartender was attentive. Overall, it's a great option for a spontaneous evening out.
