Moore, the beloved, Chicago-based, chef, has manifested a vision of elevated Southern cuisine in a Northern city where the bulk of the Black American community has direct Southern ancestry and roots. Soil was rich and ready for the unique warmth of his ideas. The opening team of etc. has created a space, menu, beverage program, and flow of service that is simultaneously down-home and adventurous, and as intriguing and challenging as it is familiar Our mission is to bring a high level of experience, taste, and cocktails to the loop/printers row, family-style and without any pretension.

The host was lovely, and the deviled eggs were great. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. Our waiter was nice but didn’t know the menu, which made it hard to get answers to our questions. My oxtails were cold and overly salty. I had already sent back my drink and didn’t want to send the food back too, especially since I was hungry. While my sister’s food was served hot, the overall experience was disappointing.

The experience was absolutely wonderful, slightly loud but great. We felt relax, not rushed. The wait staff was impeccable! The drinks were delicious. My favorite were the grits & oxtails, the flavor was magnificent. Other guest had Cacio, it was slightly over peppered. But, ok. The parking can be challenging, but again it's Chicago. Take an ride share.

Great atmosphere and location, professional and friendly staff. A few things we wanted to try were not available but we’ll definitely be back. The food was also good.

My daughter and I dined there last night and we were really impressed all the way around. From being greeted at the door (he was fabulous) and our server was equally fabulous. I sat and watched the servers and they were "on-point". There wasn't a glass that wasn't filled immediately, a plate taken away when meal completed in the most timeliest facet. The decor was great - felt like a really vibrant atmosphere and the food, the food, the food was the best. I enjoyed this experience and will definitely refer my friends but more importantly will be back. Chef's Kiss! This is a restaurant you don't want to skip.

By far the worse service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant..Got to my table at 9:10pm and didn’t meet my waitress until 9:50pm..After receiving my food at 10:45pm 😳 I was done with it all..The bartender Zack brought our drinks TWICE as the waiters were lost,and every table around us were also complaining about the poor service..If it wasn’t for Zack the night would’ve been deplorable…..NEVER GOING BACK

From the moment I walked in, until in moment I left it was all professional. The food came out on time. It was hot. It was amazing. I walked in open minded. It was my anniversary for me and my wife. Our 21st. So it was a very important occasion. So I trusted the environment to celebrate that monumental occasion. And it did just that. I’ll recommend a friend and I’m going again.

We enjoyed everything we ate! The catfish dip is phenomenal! The Oxtail and lamb were flavorful and delicious. The drinks were a 10/10. The Corn-a-Copia was such a unique and tasty drink.
