    From the moment we walked in, we received top notch service. Our waiterJoseph was absolutely amazing, going above and beyond to accommodate our every need. The food was as exceptional as the service. We ordered the mini lobster roll appetizer for our table of 6 and were impressed at just how delicious they were. Our party also ordered the crab cake, filet, sea bass sandwich, Caesar salad and all were perfectly prepared. We will go back next time we’re in Chicago and ask for Joseph Patton.

    We were a party of 6. Oscar took very good care of us. He made excellent recommendations. The appetizers were yummy, especially the gnocchi. We had short ribs, salmon, and branzino. Everyone cleaned their plates. Yes, we saved room for scrumptious desserts...think chocolate!!!!
