   We enjoyed a burger and Brussels sprouts with a couple of nice cocktails! Ambience was nice. Service was prompt. Atmosphere was excellent.

   The elegance of Swift and Sons but still a casual classy experience. Fairly priced menu based on overall quality and service, though the “meat-n-potatoes” entree prices compared to quantity seems higher than normal for Chicago steakhouses. For reuniting with friends on a Christmas weekend, overlooking a beautifully lit Wrigley Field for the season, it can’t be beat.

   Had a 130 reservation and the kitchen closes at 2! Our server was great though and gave us the heads up as soon as we sat down so it all worked out. Bar is open the whole time :)

   Great seafood and friendly service. There’s a little something for everyone. Wine selection could use a little attention though. We would definitely go back for the oysters at Happy Hour!

   After sitting asking for 5 more minutes to look over the drink menu our server didn’t return for over 20mins. In fact the only time the service ever came to us was after asking the buss boy to fetch him. This occurred four times! He did not check on how any of the dishes we ordered were from appetizer to the entree. For one of the entrees I ordered a medium rare steak to which I was given well done! Not even medium?! We were given a complimentary desert which I took a couple of bits of not to make them feel bad but I don’t even eat sweets and it never occurred to ask if we did. It took almost two hours to have a dinner for two and I blame it mostly on the lack of attentiveness. The food was good which is the only positive thing I have to say about my dining experience

   Food and atmosphere was good. Wait staff was understaffed, even though the restaurant was not crowded. We requested silverware after the appetizer course and our initial cutlery was cleared, and got knives. Only knives. I had to get up and ask our waiter for forks. We ordered a bottle of wine the same time we ordered our main courses, but by the time it came we drank the wine after we were done eating. We still enjoyed our evening, but the service was lacking.
