The dining room is relatively small and some might find the communal table situation to be intimidating , but the ambiance is fantastic, energetic, but not overly noisy. Honestly some of the best service we have had in Chicago. Our Waiter Kelly was attentive, provided a great overview of the menu and cocktails, and never let our water glasses come close to being empty. The food was a home-run as well. We started with the Pork and Shrimp Potstickers, which were fantastic, and shared the namesake Arroz Gordo for our main. We will definitely be back!
