    We went to brunch for the food and experience. Let’s bed both! We were super impressed and loved the atmosphere. The live music was great! They had a steel drummer and it was the perfect vibe! The mini Chicago dog on the Bloody Mary WOW. 5 stars!!

    the medallions were a bit overcooked and the cocktails weren’t our favorite, but the view is amazing and the staff is kind. Don’t know that I’ll be back but I enjoyed my time.

    The staff couldn't be anymore helpful to making our night so special ! They went above and beyond as I proposed at the restraunt. I will happily eat there again. The noise level is super quiet I couldn't hear anybodies conversation and the music had so much varsity to you. Food was fabulous and so favorable!

    Our bar tender, Nicole, was excellent! Food was decent. I just wish they had heaters for the outdoor experience since it was chilly outside.

    The ambiance was nothing like advertised. Food options were ok…drinks extremely pricey and we asked for a specific vodka but received something else. Our server was great and was the best experience!

    Very good experience, celebrated my birthday w some of my friends, nice enough to let us take pictures outside even though the rooftop in itself was closed. Wish they were easy to contact but very nice place, setting, food and great service!

    The igloo was definitely a 10/10. I really enjoyed myself. The decorations were beautiful, and I love the outdoor fire pit.
