    Went there after today’s cubs game, we made a reservation and were sat immediately. Server took a few minutes but that is to be expected so many tables arriving at once. Got our app and drinks super quickly, she must have gotten busy bc took a while to grab our main orders. My partners food came, and then mine never did. As I was trying to find the server I noticed her talking to a manager, he came back and said my meal would be comped and it should be alright, as to which I had said it’s okay I’m okay having this taken off the bill, but they brought over a gift card for us to return, and I really appreciated it. I understand they were probably extremely slammed all at once! I’ll definitely be returning as they really took care of us after!

    We’ve been here several times and it’s always great! We’ve never had a time where the food taste different or not the same, this place is consistent. It’s is a bit pricey, but the quality is great. The drinks are average, more on the sugary side but not mad. Like you have to have a marg at some point! Service is quick and friendly. It’s a bit loud in there between the music and people, but when it’s almost 70 degrees in March then hey if you can’t beat em, join em.
