The best award winning hamburger in Chicago. Very high quality beef with a wonderful array of toppings and a bun that held it together without disintegrating.

10/10, I love this restaurant so much, and this trip didn’t disappoint. It was my birthday, and the staff was so nice and kind, and the food was amazing as usual (highlights were the French onion soup, Manion style steak frites, and a caviar egg special dish). The whole evening was truly a special and memorable night.

Everything was exceptional except for the browned butter farfalle dish which tasted like burnt meat or the pan the butter was cooked on. Was unpleasant but the server took it off our bill which was nice of him.
