    My party of five, arriving in Evanston from three different cities, had an enjoyable evening. The food was delicious, the menu offered great variety, and the service was top notch. We ordered a diverse selection of dishes, some of which were recommended by our waiter, and there was really something for each person at our table to enjoy. A great experience!

    Food was very good but could have been warmer. Several plates were warm, not hot. However, I would try again.
