The Zagat Survey says, "There's much to like about this Washington Park Italian-New American: "good food", a "great patio" & "cheerful" service & ambiance."
An upscale age-diverse crowd mingles at this popular neighborhood restaurant & gathering place east of Wash Park.
A covered strip on the south and west side with heat and misters makes for convivial outdoor seating (you just might see a neighbor). A beautiful lounge is off to the side. Elegant U-shaped bar. Romantic dining room with cozy interior. A spacious & stylish banquet room with its own patio and a presentation compatible 80” HDTV complete this restaurant for every occasion.
Dinners are mid-priced, with a nice selection of grilled seafood & steaks & several fancy pasta dishes. The lunch offerings include sandwiches, pizza, salads & pasta.

Nice spot, but needs a new chef. Confused flavor combinations between Italian, asian, and French. Not a good candidate for any of them. Way too much sauce that was not prepared with the ingredients or flavor combination in mind. None of us could finish our entrees, not because of portion size, but because of flavor.

The bison short ribs were to DIE for. Seriously, if you are a meat-eater, don't bother with anything else! The portion was huge, meat SO very tender - and the chocolate/chipotle glaze gave a hint of heat and a little kick. Nice! The mashed potatoes that came with were very tasty (but a very small portion). The broccolini was vibrant green but so undercooked I had to eat it with my fingers because my knife couldn't cut through it! We had three entrees (two bison, one carbonara) and the carbonara was soupy and flavorless. Super disappointing but my (adult) kids both liked the pasta. We had the burrata which was a nice appetizer (a bit on the $$ side) but good. The onion soup was like dishwater. No flavor AT all. Disappointing. Service was okay. However, for the tip I gave her, I would have liked our water glasses refilled, the empty dishes taken away, suggestions for dessert, and a little more attention (checking in on us, etc). Didn't happen. All in all - it was an OK dinner. On the pricey side $215 for the three of us/including three glasses of their cheapest wine and tip. It was nice to "get out" but not worth the money - even if the bison short ribs were tremendous.

One of our favorites and we took old friends here for lunch. We all enjoyed our experience but parking at noon was much worse than expected so be prepared.
