    They only had one server for the entire outside. It took a long time to even be acknowledged, difficult to get a second drink in within an acceptable amount of time. The server was working hard but couldn’t get to us as she was very busy.

    Incredibly poor quality food. The menu sounds fantastic, but I believe the facility is spending all of their money on rent for this awesome location and none on the actual food.

    It was a very windy day after a long day of running the Chicago Marathon. When we arrived, we were told that the only option for dining would be outdoors. Though they supplied the outdoor heaters, the wind was unbearable. We chose to stay because all restaurants were booked after the marathon. We were told by the host, go across the street to our sister restaurant. The beer is better!” And then another waitress saw us moving the table closer to the heater and she just yelled out to us, You can’t do that!! - not realizing the host told us to move it. We had no idea the entire indoor dining was reserved for a party!! It was a bad experience since our napkins were blowing off the table! The one saving grace was our waitress, Sophie and another gentleman, whom I wish I asked his name. They were both professional and tried to put us at ease as best they could. So beware!!! You may want to call ahead of time to make sure there is no private party happening the day of your reservation!!

    The food is basic at best and very expensive. We chose this restaurant for its location, and expected to pay city prices however 3 out of 4 of our party didn’t eat their meal. Our server also did not come back to us. We could’ve left without paying bill but sought out another employee to pay our bill. Do not recommend, even for pretty river views.

    It was an absolutely lovely evening on the river. Our server was very attentive and friendly. we were there several hours and never had to wait for a drink and our food came out very quickly. We had guacamole &chips, the guac was perfect the chips just so-so, the pork carnitas with pineapple and lime were delicious! The Smiley Tillman band was playing, great musicians! They played many familiar songs and people were singing along. We thought it would be chilly, but they had patio heaters and we were quite comfortable. It was a wonderful night altogether.
