Although we booked a high-top table, they gave us (couple) a regular table for four, so we didn't complain about that. Interior is beautiful. Our waitress provided an excellent service. We enjoyed our foods and drinks, although they're priced on the high side. The place is very busy and noisy (at least downstairs where we were - not the place for a romantic quiet dinner), but we were never rushed (which we appreciated). Overall, we enjoyed it and will be back, hopefully then a high-top table or even better, upstairs (under an open roof) or at the outside patio at ground level.

Food was mediocre and the prices were very high for what you got. Server was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I wouldn’t return for a meal but would meet friends for a drink.

The food was very good, our waitress was great, and the ambiance was nice. They had special entree selections for Friday during Lent which was nice. Nice special drinks/cocktails during the season. We would go back.

The beat salad was amazing! The lobster roll was good but pricey and on the smaller side. Staff was great, beautiful ambiance.

Food is basic bar food in a “Hampton social” feel built in NWI with Chicago prices. I think this type of venue is needed in NWI, but the menu needs to offer more than just basic bar food.

We had a reservation and were seated promptly upstairs. It was absolutely freezing by the windows. We order the bang bang shrimp was quite tasty but the rest of the food was mediocre at best. The burger meat was mushy and the 1/2 slab of ribs were tough and chewy. Overall the food was way overpriced and didn’t carry the presentation of the type of establishment they are trying to portray. Don’t go on a chilly evening or you will be sitting with your coat on.
