The setting and the food was excellent! I do wish there were some non-alcoholic beverages (maybe there was) but there was no offer. My waitress talked to my table twice at most and forgot about our food and we sat there for awhile and then received cold food. I was very excited for this and ended up disappointed.

Food was great, drinks as well. Only disappointment was we were unaware that it was brunch only. We did pivot and the food was still good. We were also just told our total and not shown our actual bill.

I went to this place for my birthday lastnight, they had the ac blasting in the heart of DOWNTOWN CHICAGO IN FEBRUARY.....it took a waitress 45 mins to come take our order and when she finally did she got the order wrong. Once the 8 PARTY wings I paid $25 for finally came they were cold and rubbery, MY friend didn't get her food AT ALL, for some reason the waitress thought 2 grown women were gonna share 8 party wings. We ordered a Frozen strawberry daiquiri that was not Frozen at all and it tasted like children's Tylenol .... Oh and parking for 2 hours was $49...... 2/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!! 🗣 You DISAPPOINTED ME!!!!

When we arrived, there were only a few occupied tables, so not busy at all yet. Took 18 mins to get anyone to come take our order. Price of drinks are even with the Chicago prices, so that’s expected. The server was not in any way timely. All we ordered were some truffle fries. When we got our bill, it was $78. For 3 drinks @$14 each, and fries. When I asked why it was high, she said they add 18% tip to every tab, and “all of Chicago’s fees they add,” in addition to tax. It was nothing how online made it seem, and would not recommend. But I’m sure that place brings in a lot of money. Unfortunately the food and drinks don’t match the prices.

The ambience was so cute! But we have been there before and they have definitely changed the prices of food. We ordered the sliders, chicken Parmesan and burger and it was $5 for each one. lol. It was hilarious when we got just two. We have ordered sliders before and gotten the trio so it was a little surprising to us. But as always the food is delicious!

Nice place, very attentive staff. Food and drinks were good. My only complaint would be the chairs, they were too high and uncomfortable. We kept sliding off the chair all night.
