    We had a very enjoyable meal here. The service is excellent. You can tell their team…. maître d' , bar tender and waiter have been there a long time. The food is also very good. The pasta tastes home made. The steak was also good. They also have a decent wine list. My only gripe is the bone in rib eye is not a $100 steak…..too small and thin for that. We would still dine here again.

    Was excited to bring my son here. Did not disappoint perfectly cooked bone in New York ribeye. Broccolini and brussels sprouts portions were large and prepared exactly like we like it. I can’t wait to come back to Chicago

    We come here every time we’re in town and it never disappoints. The steaks and chops are incredible. The pastas are done to Perfection. The desserts are as decadent as it gets. The service is always warm and friendly from the buss staff all the way to the management. The bartenders always make incredible drinks and are super knowledgeable. Goody is the warm smiling face that greets you as soon as you walk in the door and is always ready to strike up conversation. One of the best bartenders in the city.

    Twenty years ago, my husband and I visited this place based on a recommendation from a close friend. At that time, the food was amazing, especially the oversized steaks, which were perfectly prepared. However, to our surprise, the food this time was mediocre, particularly the steak, which lacked flavor. The oysters were extraordinarily small, and the twice-baked potatoes were disappointing. On a positive note, the waitstaff, especially the bartenders, were good. I just wish we had a better dining experience.
