We ate here on a not too busy early Sunday evening. It’s a cool venue in a classy old building but it seems to me they are struggling to compete. The seat adjacent had a large gaping gash in the vinyl; the floor under our table was dirty; the decor visibly dusty in places. Service was ok but some water would have been nice. The food was a bit slow to arrive given that we only ordered burgers, but it was hot and tasty when it came out. Overall there are dozens of other places in the Loop that are doing things better.

I’ve been here four times with one to three other people. Appears great food and good service. The sound is ata good level: quiet enough to have a conversation but loud enough to hear the game.

Food was mediocre at best. Definitely a downgrade since the last time we were there. My carne asada wrap had steak cooked well done (which I never would have ordered that way) that was tough and flavorless. The mac and cheese had sauce that was overly thin. My husband's "extra crispy" fries came lukewarm and limp, and upon asking the waiter to throw them back in the fryer, the waiter took it upon himself to bring a replacement order that was..... wait for it... lukewarm and limp. Disappointed that our go-to spot pre-concert seems to be on the decline.

y wife and I stopped in for a meal before the Grant Park Music Festival on a Wednesday afternoon. We ordered the Irish sausages in a puff pastry served with 3 sauces. It as OK. we also had the mushroom and goat cheese flatbread which was very good. We shared the pear and goat cheese salad which was excellent; a must order. For dinner I had the shepard's pie which was hige and took half home. My wife had the turkey club which was excellent and took half home. We also had a side of the corn which was delicious. They had some nice happy hour specials. We will definitely come again.
