    Great place to dine. Started with marcona almonds & olives. I had friend chicken entree and friend had pastrami sandwich. Both were delicious. Our server was the bartender. She was attentive and friendly.

    We always enjoy the Wrigley Mansion. We maintain our membership because the service, food, and cocktails are consistently fabulous. This was our 2nd time attending the Jazz dinner at Geordie’s. The first time was a wonderful experience, this time…meh. We went for my sister’s birthday. Service was inattentive and we were rushed out at the 90 minute mark. Very disappointed that we couldn’t order dessert. Was hoping to get her a piece of cake or something to celebrate. Portion (and no cheese or basil…nothing) on the gnocchi was a bit sparse for the money. It’s unfortunate that my only negative experience at Wrigley was when I was trying to impress someone. Ah, hopefully it will be back to regular standards next time.

    From start to finish, absolutely wonderful. The whole experience is so well done. Our waitress (Kara or Karla?) was great - so willing to take the time to explain anything and everything, and super knowledgeable about the menu. Food is spectacular! Drinks are unique and tasty. It’s just a wonderful place.

    Rough Rider delivered on all levels. Service, atmosphere, food and drinks were all on point. Our party enjoyed the Baked Crab dip to start. Then we proceeded with the Pork Chop, Ribeye and Roasted Chicken. Our table could not help sharing with each other as everything was so good. For drinks we had a few and the balance they have developed really set them apart from other restaurants we have frequented recently. The True American, Game Theory, Summer of George and Happy Birthday Mr President all shined through. This was a relatively last minute find for us and one that did not less us down and gave us a memorable evening together to celebrate. We will definitely be returning
