It was a super experience from being seated immediately to the server really listening to our needs. We were in a little bit of a hurry. Every item we ordered tasted great. The Cuban was excellent as was the prosciutto pizza. But the surprise star was the side of mac and cheese. This was our first visit and we definitely will be back. Can't wait! Great variety on the menu and want to try all of it based on today's visit.

The wait was a little longer than expected, especially for having a reservation. However the energy, ambiance and service was pleasant. It was really nice to have an up beat good restaurant in the neighborhood. I expect it will be sensational with the rooftop bar in the warmer weather.

We loved the atmosphere, the drinks and the food! Happy to have this place nearby for date nights. My only complaint, the Brussels spouts were delish but waaaay too ridiculously greasy.

The place is very pleasing to the eye. However, the food is not appetizing at all! The drinks were good! I would go back for drinks and that’s about it!

Had shrimp/crab bruschetta, salmon, cauliflower bowl, lettuce wraps, street corn, and brussel sprouts. Loved it all! Also enjoyed the Chicago Fire drink. Service was great, rooftop is a little noisy but will be so fun when the weather gets nice. Thumps up!

First time visiting . Food and atmosphere was amazing. Had an opportunity to talk to owner Steve what a great guy! We Started off with the Smokey old fashion and a glass of wine followed by the Calamari and Oysters as Apps ask for some horseradish on the side for the Oysters Highly recommend the Salmon, definitely spicey but probably one of the best prepared Salmon I have ever had. She enjoyed the Thai Chicken salad which was also excellent As a side try the Brussels Sprouts Presentation of all of the food was outstanding A Chicago class restaurant in Northwest Indiana a must try. we will be back.

Very happy to have this new restaurant in town! Amazing ambiance- nice enough for a date night but casual enough to pop in or bring the kids. Pizza, chicken sandwich and burger were all fantastic. Good drinks and service, no negative feedback to share at all. Eager to try other items on the menu during future visits and see how the salad and seafood oriented options are. Many of the lower star reviews mention the higher price point. It’s not the cheapest dining option in the area but we felt happy to pay for the solid quality and atmosphere. We need a menu and restaurant like this in the area!

Great energy, layout, style. Service was great. Bartender was nice and energetic. Food was just ok. We tried a few of the pasta dishes. Meh. Calamari was good tho. I’d go back. Maybe just for drinks.
