One of the best meals ever. We started with the foie gras and then the endive salad. Next was the deviled crab and the steak fries. Would order the same again. It’s a hard reservation to get but worth it.

A bit of a mixed review. The food was outstanding and we enjoyed everything we ordered. As others have noted they were out of several things, notably from the wine list. It all worked out well enough. The service/pacing was odd as I’m used to Chicago restaurants where you put the order in all at once and the server/kitchen course things out. Basically everything we ordered came out at once…which seemed odd for tapas. I came here with a co worker after work so we were fine to just make it a quick dine.
