    Food was great ! Wagyu on long bone was outstanding. 10oz filet was great as well . Sides complimented the whole meal. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable of all cuts was helpful in deciding on cut. The whole first time experience was a great time

    I had high hopes of a very pleasant pre Christmas meal with my friends but unfortunately the restaurant was in a hot rush. 3 times in 10 minutes we were asked for our drink order and then hard pressed for our supper. Don't take an 8:30 reservation if that doesn't give you enough time to cloe. I expect that a $500+ meal should be enjoyed over a few hours - not 40 minutes. My medium filet was cold rare and brought back well done, the outside of the steaks were burnt, my friend's tuna was tasteless and the waiter was loud, rude, condescending and very much rushing us. No check back on how we were doing or how the meal was and no questions asked when half the food went back to the kitchen uneaten - and then seemed negatively surprised when the tip was about 10%. Sorry to say but I would not recommend.

    Above & Beyond one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Chicago. The food left us speechless! Coffee rub filet and the carrot salad, days later we are still talking about it. The Manager Teresa, without a doubt, gave us the best anniversary we could have only dreamt of.
