    Great location. Friendly service. We were seated immediately and next to the window facing Michigan Avenue where we could view the scene. The food was very good.

    Waiter could be more attentive , we had to ask for water and cocktail refills. Appetizer fried pickles had to much breading in my opinion but was good. Poke bowl was excellent, my husband had salad but had too much dressing. And the lights, the lights over the table way to bright, it literally was hurting my eyesight.

    This is our to go place when we come and staycation in Chicago. Food and drinks are always on par. Despite the numerous Vikings fans, the atmosphere was enjoyable. Wait staff are the best!

    The food was consistently good, but it was somewhat harder to hear people in my party talking due to the noise level.
