    Oh my gosh. This place is amazing! The service was 5 star and I will go back as often as I can. Unfortunately, I have some disrespecful jerks of friends, so my reserved party of 10, which changed to 8 when we arrived ended up being only 6 because some invitees didn’t come and didn’t feel a need to let me know in advance. The staff was responsive, respectful, attentive and all around amazing. I apologized that we took an extra 2 seats from them due to overbooking and they were magnanimous and lovely. This is the behavior that makes me want to book every single event I can at this restaurant. And post their exemplary service to every forum that takes it.

    My family and I had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s birthday and trying new dishes! Everything was delightful. Restaurant ambience was great, not too loud, music just right, food is healthy and delicious! We’ll definitely be returning since we live in Glenview!

    My gawd we ordered so many things from the menu. The buffalo mozzarella, fired calamari, bruschetta special and mussels were outstanding. Entrees were phenomenal and portioned generously. We had to sit at a high top at the bar and waited 20 minutes after our reservation time, but they were so apologetic and kind! I can hardly wait to return!!
