    Definitely need to update their interior of the place. Also cooking the food by yourself is neat but it’d be cool if they had like a timer for each type of meat so you don’t undercook chicken which can be dangerous.

    We went there for my girlfriend birthday it was the most horrible experience I ever had. First of all let me tell you how it went.. first when we got there, the host was nice and took us to our table. The server was so pushy and rude apparently he work there for 10 years. He came every few minutes are you ready to order!!! when I ask him about the appetizer how’s it? he responded in my opinion it’s trash! I’m like I’m sorry?? Next thing I ask him about the cast iron cooking method? He said we don’t have that. At that point I just did not wanted to be there to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday( we just pay for the drinks) so we decided to leave to another restaurant. We Will definitely not come back no wonder why they close the Naperville location. I work in the restaurant industry myself and run several restaurants if that server was under my payroll I would’ve fire him on spot. Turn the guest away like that it’s unacceptable.

    Very nice experience for not having been here for quite a while. Service was great and good was very good. Don’t go in thinking you’ll get very full because it’s about the experience and the intimate atmosphere of being there. Overall great place and a unique dining experience different from your traditional restaurants.

    It took over 2.5 hours to get through the 4 courses, and was very expensive for what you got.

    This is a fun experience! You get plenty of delicious food. Each course is a delight. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy eating while visiting. You won’t believe how fast the time goes by. A friendly, patient server is critical. Ask for a new server if you feel rushed. We had to do this. It made a huge difference. Our initial server is the reason I gave this place a 4. We almost walked out. The new server was a 5+

    I had an amazing time with my partner. My biggest issue is it took wayyyyyyy too long for someone to greet us in the beginning. We were sitting at least 10 mins before our server walked pass and said he will be right with us. Then it took another 10-15 mins for him to come back and take our order. The first initial contact matters. It sets the tone for the overall dining experience to me. That’s my only complaint. Other than that everything else was great.

    We had a party of 3 and, was there 2 hours. We left prior to being served the chocolate experience because the service was very slow. They were short on staff and our waitress was serving 3+ other tables. It was frustrating to witness customers of another waitress being served promptly and leaving prior to us, although we were there’s at least a half hour before any other customers arrived. We ordered the broth cooking style but the food was mediocre at best. The manager gave us a gift card for free cheese and chocolate with apologies for our inconvenience.
