The dish included dates and offered a delightful crunch in every bite. The server swapped out the dressing for a vinaigrette option, which worked perfectly. Despite sharing, I found it quite challenging to finish, as the portion size was substantial and very filling. In fact, I didn’t even touch my main course because I was so full from the salad. Overall, the service was fantastic, the ambiance was charming, and it was wonderfully vegan-friendly.

The experience was amazing! The bartender was very friendly, and the service was excellent. read more The experience was amazing! The bartender was very friendly, and the service was excellent.

It’s very ‘traditional Chicago vibe’ by this I mean a small upscale eclectic vibe locale with a selective menu and local small batch brews. The outdoor part is supposed to be even better, but hard to getreservations there as of now. If it smells very herbally or organic it’s probably the live moss wall. We sat not too far fromit and that was the first thing we smelt. I liked the smell, but it’s not for everyone.

There's so many diverse flavors throughout this menu that I don't even know where to start. The bixi Mac burger isn't the best in town but it's pretty damndelicious. Lettuce on a burger is always a big no-no to me mainly because it always ends up wilted and gross half way through(but hey, great take on a big Mac). Other than that, it packs a wonderful cheesy umami flavor that doesn't disappoint. The frieswere super fresh and crisp, nice and salty without being over powering. Reminiscent of McD's and possibly better. Lastly, thedessert they just added to the menu hit all the notes (Thai peanut sundae). The peanut butter ice cream pairs well with thesaltiness and spiciness from the peanuts. The fruit keeps is refreshing and light on the front end while the caramel sticks tothe back of your spoon making you wish there was more. I've been here 3 or 4 times now for small meals and I don't think I'llstop. The ambiance of the place is great and outdoor rooftop seating is pretty much the norm here. Love it all.
