    First time for my sons(15 and 9)! They enjoyed immensely! My wife, our friend and myself had a great time. It’s a tradition to meet up the top of the year and have brunch. I had the pot roast and it was NOT HOT! We had fried at the table a could have times and they were cold too. My 9 year old didn’t care for the pot pie because he thought it was crust on the top and bottom. It was only crust on top. They did replace with chicken tenders for him. Wife and son had burgers. They say they were pretty good. Missing lettuce and tomatoes. Our friend had a chicken Caesar and the chicken was very dry and old looking. He ate it but didn’t enjoy. Our service was great (Stephanie) but was really busy. It was a busy day. But she did her best and was very nice.

    I recommend the RPM chopped salad, the oysters, the grilled octopus, the clam chowder soup and the filet. It was AMAZING! I apologize in advance I forgot our servers name, she remembered all my notes I put and explained the menu with details. She made it very special! Exactly what I wanted for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner! She was a pretty blonde girl, she’s wonderful! If anyone can give me her name I would love to recommend her to my friends if they want to dine here!

    Dropped in to our favorite spot while in Chicago. We are always greeted like family and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The pasta is fresh and full of flavor. I had my favorite Linguini Vonogole which is always wonderful blend of light, balanced flavors, garlic, clams and EVOO! Always leave OGGI feeling the glow from great food and wonderful community!
