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!

We only had to wait 15 minutes for a table during lunchtime on a holiday, but it felt like no time at all while we enjoyed cocktails near the bar. The menu had a fantastic variety of options, and the service was top-notch! Our waiters were delightful. As a nice surprise, we found pumpkin seeds added to our salad, which was a lovely touch! The cucumber basil cocktails were delicious, and the Niçoise chicken salads were equally tasty! Highly recommend! (Located in Nordstrom at Oak Brook)

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!
