They took every precaution to ensure everyone's safety, such as providing individual ketchup packets, giving us new glasses for each soda refill, and maintaining a six-foot distance between tables. The atmosphere was great, and we will definitely be returning!

We asked for a drink menu, and he immediately asked to see our IDs. My friend, who was 22 at the time, handed over his ID, but to our shock, the waiter rudely rejected it, literally tossing it back at him. We were taken aback and tried to explain that we were all of legal age and had multiple forms of identification. Instead of listening, the waiter told us to "**** off" and became aggressive. We were just looking to enjoy our evening and couldn’t believe how quickly things escalated. Deciding to leave, we approached another waiter to ask for the manager to discuss the situation. The manager, a woman with black hair in her mid-30s, dismissed us, calling us "a bunch of kids" and flatly stating she wouldn’t take any action. It was incredibly frustrating. I've since heard from friends who had similar experiences with the staff's rude service. To top it off, the food wasn't even good. I would not recommend this place. Instead, we ended up at Half Day Brewery in Lincolnshire, where we received excellent service and enjoyed delicious food. Since then, my friends and I have returned to Half Day Brewery multiple times, and it has become our new favorite spot.

The crackers are soggy, the artichokes are flavorless as if all the juice has been pressed out, and the prosciutto tastes a bit stale. On the bright side, the service and drinks are excellent.

The Reuben was so good! It was kind of expensive though. The service was pretty decent (I had Abby as my server and she was so sweet)! read more The Reuben was so good! It was kind of expensive though. The service was pretty decent (I had Abby as my server and she was so sweet)!

Last night was a bit different. The menu appeared to have changed and the prices seemed to have been raised just a bit too much for the type of restaurant it is. For the prices they charge we should at least get cloth napkins. Im pretty sure they used to serve bread and butter as you waited for the food, not anymore. Everybody's food was good, just a bit pricey. My son always orders cheese sauce on the side to dip his fries into which they no longer have, much to his disappointment. I was looking to order the smoked brisket sandwich or the smoked meat platter only to be told during my ordering that they do not have any smoked brisket. Why have 2-3 items on the menu with a certain type of meat and not have any in the kitchen? Disappointing. Anyhow like I said, the food was good and so was the service. I'd say there are equal/better restaurants in the area for the price.
