Came here for restaurant week and had the most incredible meal. Appreciated the service and fantastic wine recommendation from our server Rich. He was fantastic! Highly recommend this spot for a casual meal or a fancy date night. Sunset views over the lake and city skyline can’t be beat! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $60–70 Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend Parking options: Valet Parking: It can sometimes get busy if there is a concert, or in the summer to sit outside. But coming in the winter is the best with or without a reservation.

We came for Restaurant Week. This restaurant is sitting right by the lake, and even though we couldn't see the lake due to the snowy weather, the atmosphere was still great. I can only imagine how beautiful the space is in the summer. Highly recommend steak and frites on the regular menu. Price per person: $50–60 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Service is good and courteous, I was there on a Sunday afternoon and the place was half full. Prices are a little on the expensive side, but not too bad. the only downside is the food quality, not fresh at all. Food wise I’d give it a 6. But thelake view is spectacular.

Ride staff. Insane prices. They lost our reservation and made us wait an hour to be served. Then when we finally were seated, it was next to the kitchen and we could hear all the machinery or whatever loud sound coming from behind. $100 for two people to eat mediocre food? What am I paying for, the view? I could just bring food from Jewel Osco and sit on the beach, at least I wouldn't have to put up with this nonsense.
