This is one of our favorite restaurants! I made a last minute reservation because of a change of plans, and we were welcomed warmly and seated in a booth as requested with our favorite server Peggy. We enjoyed several items from the new menu as well as several old favorites. The food is always outstanding!

The elite restaurant in Lincolnwood for celebratory events. Only drawback: it is expensive... $70 for Dover sole, for instance!

Chicken parmigiana was excellent. Filet was very good . Onion rings were the best. Pasta was good. Our service could have been better since the server wasn’t around as much as he should have been. I did say I wanted my chicken parm crispy on the cheese but he didn’t bother to write it down and when served it went back to the kitchen.
