    One of my fav dining spots in downtown Chicago. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. The food is delicious. The servers are friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the huge variety of menu options. I always request Tomas as my waiter. He’s simply THE BEST! A wonderful experience all around.

    The place is really nice. Comfortable. The menu is not huge, but it is diverse. Two of us had the lasagna wagyu bordelaise . It was wonderful. As was my lobster bisque.

    We went for our anniversary. It was great. The server, Thomas, was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Food was very good. We both got the wagyu filets. Those were melt in your mouth with beefy flavor. The fries were very good. The zeppole?? the donut things. If they sold those at a small shack/shop, we’d probably be frequent customers. We will end up going back.
