We tried two buns: one with pulled pork and the other with meatballs—those meatballs were so good, you'd think someone's Italian grandmother was in the kitchen! We also had the flatbread of the day, topped with poached pear, arugula, and feta cheese, which was delicious, and a shrimp and quinoa salad that was excellent too. We left feeling happy and excited to return!

This is quite disappointing. The food was excellent, and the drinks were very good. It was one of the best dining options on Taylor Street near UIC.

Waiter recommended a really delicious and reasonably priced glass of wine. Dessert was a simple chocolate brownie somehow cooked to ooey-gooey perfection. Can't wait to go back!

Great wine list. Excellent service. Small plates were very good. Will be back. read more Great wine list. Excellent service. Small plates were very good. Will be back.
