Our server didn?t greet us for at least 6-7 minutes but was helping out the table right next to us the entire time ? could?ve at least told us she?d be right over. Our coffee was cold and had to beremade. Monkey bread appetizer was good, except for about 1/3 of the bread pieces being burnt and hard. Waited 20 more minutesfor our food after the appetizer came, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. Eggs benedict came out lukewarm,borderline cold and the egg was hard boiled rather than poached. Not very much hollandaise sauce on it either. Overall a prettybad experience, food was not good and very overpriced and the service was very slow.

I tried the blueberry vodka cocktail and the billionaire, and they completely exceeded my expectations. These are the kind of drinks I'd expect to find in downtown Chicago or any other major city where cocktail craftsmanship is prioritized. Ryan was the bartender, and I was amazed by his meticulous attention to detail—from the double straining to zesting the rim of the glass. It was pure artistry. I will definitely be coming back, as these drinks rival those from Seasons 52, Blanco, and other top spots. This place is a true hidden gem!

Their French fries are definitely my favorite part of every meal—so delicious. However, the taco appetizers were disappointing; they’re tiny and come in a crunchy shell, so don’t be misled by the menu description. The only downside was the slow service today—it took about 30 minutes after finishing our meal just to get the bill. Otherwise, it’s a great spot with fantastic food, especially if you visit during less busy hours!

The quality of the food (for the most part) is super impressive and always fresh. Their French fries are probably my favorite part of every meal there, so sogood. Not so good are the taco appetizers (they are tiny and come in a crunchy shell, don’t let the menu fool you). Also onestar off for the slow service we had today, it took us about 30 min after we were done with our food to close our bill.Otherwise great place and great food if you can catch it at a less busy time!
