The service was really exceptional. Not just our server, but also several staff helped. The food was good and the value was fair bfor being in the theater district of down town Chicago. If you are going to a show at the CBIC you are right across the street and can see when the doors open.

The food was excellent but we were disappointed at the presentation of the Branzino. At that price point, we usually expect a whole fish. This was just two very small pieces.

From the moment we were greeted by the hostess, we felt welcomed. The place was very busy with theater goers all trying to do the same thing. Our server was great about giving us recommendations for both drink and food. We had a wonderful meal and will definitely be back

We went on a bitter cold winter day after a matinee showing of Harry Potter. The staff was superb. Friendly, warm and welcoming. We started with Tuna Tartare followed by the Filet Mignon and the marinated steak salad. All were excellent. It’s pricey but not out of line with other high end Chicago downtown restaurants.

Love the remodel/update of one of our fav restos. We always come here when we have tickets at the CIBC Theater. Our server was friendly and made sure we had plenty of time to get to the theater. The artisan loaf was tasty, the lobster bisque soup was good, and the filet was delicious! We ended our meal w a yummy (and huge) piece of tiramisu! Can’t wait for our next “play” date!
