    Had a nice time but the vocals on the pianist were way too loud, and he played every song at a super high tempo, which sounded ridiculous

    Food was great. Filet was cooked perfectly, Parmesan fries were amazing and chopped salad was also really good. Loved the ambiance except the huge TV’s everywhere. It would be nice if they hid them somehow for the dinner hours because it just ruins the feel of the experience.

    The Waitress was super great came back multiple times to check if she could get us anything and was everyone ok. The food although limited selection wise was good. Our main reason for coming out this night was to listen too some good music and enjoy the company of friends the artists did not disappoint she was friendly engaging and had a very lovely voice. Friends were planning their next visit before night was halfway over. Their specialty drinks where good and also a little on the expensive side but you have to take in the fact that your in the West loop area. Overall with the coziness atmosphere great entertainment and helpful staff and good food and drinks the night turned out great.

    Service was great. But the noise level is way too loud for this to be a “have a drink and conversation” place. I couldn’t hear the server or even the people next to me.

    Made a reservation online for Sunday to enjoy the live music, showed up and all the doors were locked, and no one answered the phone when we called. Their website and online said they were open. I shouldn’t have been able to make a reservation if they were closed. Was very disappointed and will not be trying again.
