The beer list is extensive. The food was good, not great, but a wide variety of choices. Service was mediocre. Server not personable. Food was rushed. Server forgot salad order. 3% add on but can be removed. With a bit of polishing, this could be a really good place. We dined here before the Grant Park Music Festival. Nice sized order of bang bang shrimp app. Chicken tortilla soup was good.

Dining on the patio Friday night. Big size rat roaming around the seating area. The staff just laughed it off and said sorry it happens. No compensation of any kind.

We were greeted at the door and were seated immediately upon arrival, even though our reservation didn't begin for 20 minutes. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Our server was wonderful and treated us like royalty. The food was good. A more creative menu would have garnered a 5-star rating, but there was nothing wrong with the preparation of the food. The outdoor seating was a little worn out. The umbrella bases took up all the foot room under the tables which made it a bit uncomfortable. Good shade on a hot, sunny day. Good beer list!

I usually like Sweetwater, but this was my first time for breakfast. Eggs were overcooked, bacon was undercooked, and "toast" was warm bread. My worst restaurant breakfast in a very long time.

Had salmon Caesar salad and oretzel bites. Weird combo but delicious. Service was great - they played a game I wanted on the tv!
