I’m already craving it again. Make sure to ask for no anchovies in the Caesar, but other than that it was delicious! Will be back!

When we checked in for our reservation they asked if we were attending a show that was taking place at the United Center. We were. They said they’d be sure to have us out on time and they did! We were a party of 8 and everyone raved about their food and experience. Will be back. Highly recommend.

Pasta was good but came to table almost cold. Dessert was delicious. Cocktails were well done albeit a bit of a shorter pour than other restaurants at same price point. Service was outstanding. Be aware that valet availability is not reliable. I called ahead of visit and was told that valet is available EVERY night. Arrived on a Sunday night to no valet. Hostess apologized and said they had expected to have valet available. Parking is terrible in the area so just be prepared for that.
