“Heather was ammaazziinnggg for my Mother’s Day brunch! Very attentive! It was buffet style she made sure I was hands free and assisted with making me have a wonderful experience! Will definitely come here again!”

“As a big fan of great steak places I would highly recommend this place. By far one of the best steaks I had in a long time. Also the service is soo good. Really top! Nice ambiance, great cocktails,... if you are in Chicago and want steak come to this place.”

“I used to order steak sandwiches from his place When I worked up the street prior to joining the military , which was twenty years ago and the fact that they are still here , says something! OMG! One of the best steaks I've tasted by far! Cooked too perfection and the flavor, my god! The seabass was amazing a well, a must try.”

“came for chicago restaurant week at lunch; the menu was the same as their usual lunch offering (3 courses for $35). I had the steak sandwich, which was good but fairly large pieces for a sandwich making it hard to chew. my group also had the fish entrée, which neither enjoyed very much. the sandwich came with potato wedges and the fish came with no sides, just a single filet of fish. the carrot cake dessert was VERY good. the server was nice but we did have to flag them down a couple times trying to get the check to leave for work meetings after 1.5 hours, as this was weekday lunch.”

“My boyfriend and I went here for Restaurant week and I was really excited to try this place! To say I was disappointed, is an absolute understatement, but let’s start off on a few positives, shall we? The staff was dressed very elegantly and they were very kind. The ambience of the restaurant was very cozy and romantic, even though they were filming some promotional content and there was a very bright filming lights set up. They weren’t up for the entirety of our meal, so once they were taken down the restaurant got very cozy with dim lighting. We got a few cocktails to start. I had a dirty, Gray goose martini which was delicious and my boyfriend really enjoyed the old fashion! We each got a glass of wine with dinner- he had a Cabernet which was incredible! And I had a Chardonnay which was delicious for someone who doesn’t like Chardonnay! Now onto the menu and food. Since it was restaurant week, they had the option of a $60 dinner 3 course pre-fix menu. My boyfriend and I got different options as to try everything. We did get oysters as an appetizer, and they were alright. We’ve definitely had better oysters in the city and we were disappointed that the waiter just dropped them on the table and left. They didn’t let us know where the oysters were from or anything like that. But they were alright (5/10). For starters, I got the blue cheese wedge salad! (10/10). My boyfriend got the Crispy Porkbelly. (0/10). The pork-belly was incredibly over salted and almost inedible. The for the second course, I got the French onion soup (0/10). It was literally served cold. My boyfriend got the leek and potato soup (10/10). I ended up finishing his! Now, something else to mention here is that the wait time between the first course and second course was almost 45mins! Which is probably why my soup was cold, I bet it was just sitting there. For the third course, I got the Sea Bass Filet (1/10). It was alright, as in I could have eaten the entire thing if I was forced to. It was served with the skin on, which I don’t like. When when I flipped it over the meat side, it was tender but incredibly over salted. Also there was way too much oil! I’m not sure if sea bass is a very oily fish in general, but I really couldn’t finish more than half. My boyfriend got the Prime Rib which was delicious (8/10). The most annoying thing was that there was another 45 mins better the second course and third course. We were there for almost 3 ½ hours! I’m not sure if the filming was slowing things down or what but this was wayyy too long! I know a multi-course meal can be more of experiential dining, but if you’re going to do that, the majority of the experience shouldn’t be waiting in between courses for incredibly sub-par, awful food. All this to say, the presentation of each dish was incredible (10/10) it just didn’t all taste good! I truly left bad for the couple next to use who had to have waited over an hour for the third course, and when the waiter came back to ask them what they each ordered- I knew they were in trouble! Maybe the food on their regular menu is better, but service wise and wait times considered….i would not try this again!”
