    Was our first time eating here. We would definitely return for dinner to check out menu. Brunch was good definitely go for certain dish as menu is limited albeit good variety. Definitely try the chips and guacamole!

    We had an early anniversary dinner there before a Steppenwolf production in one of the Greenhouses (memories of COVID) on Willow. It couldn't have been more delicious and fun (with daylight savings we enjoyed great people watching pre-sundown). I think our server was Emma--she was a pro--coming to check on us just the right amount of times. Our mains were especially yummy: the salmon and the short ribs. Very highly recommend this spot--which seemed busy and bustling indoors if that's your preference.

    Amazingly good! We sat outside in those little plastic huts which was a lot of fun. Inside is a but noisy, though. Food was spectacular

    We had a time deadline due to a show at the Steppenwolf. The waitress was wonderful at keeping things moving but not rushed. I had the short ribs - which had a layer of chew membrane through the middle - which was disappointing given the cost, but I still had plenty to eat.

    The dips, the beef carpaccio, the halibut were all excellent. The beef Wellington and salmon Wellington were also superb. Service was excellent as usual.
