    This was my first visit to the Chicago Restauant. I’ve been a big fan of this brand when traveling to east coast. I’ve ordered their chowder and crab cakes to be delivered (frozen for years) and thrilled to be able to have fresh whenever I want now! Strongly recommend and staff was excellent!!!!

    Excellent Seafood. Tonight I had one of my favorites again, yellowfin tuna. Boston cream pie for dessert. As great as the food is, the service is better. Hats off to my bartender Nick for always going above and beyond to make sure my evening is enjoyable.

    We were very excited to welcome LS to this location. Unfortunately, it was an absolutely awful experience. Starting with an incredibly unfriendly hostess, onto a completely overwhelmed server. The entire experience felt like we were in a bad IHOP! I’m betting they won’t last long here…really a shame.
