The menu is impressively diverse, ensuring there's something for everyone in your group. To my surprise, the food exceeded my modest expectations and was served piping hot. The staff were friendly, and the seating area was well-maintained. The downsides: The prices are on the high side. Even if you keep it simple with just sandwiches, salads, or soups, you’re looking at around $15 per person. If you opt for appetizers, a larger platter, drinks, or anything beyond the basics, be ready to spend $40 or more per person, which feels excessive. Food/Drink: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10

The atmosphere and decor are incredibly cool, and if I had kids, I would definitely make a special trip just to bring them here. The prices are quite reasonable for the area, and the food is absolutely delicious!

It was good but food wise in Chicago you have some steep competition, I think Applebee's and TGI Fridays is on par. We loved the balloon animals and the experience was worth the price. One kids meal and an adult meal with a Coke was $40.
