This was our 2nd visit and will be back. We made a reservation because it was Friday night an also after a Cubs game. The restaurant was not yet full, but there is a great happy hour from 4-6p, so we enjoyed sangria and apps, and also dinner and dessert. The Tempura Brownie and Matcha Ice Cream was a treat! The menu variety and food presentation are vast and beautiful. Every item is always delicious to look at and to eat.

Really great appetizers! When I go back I'll lean heavily into these. Pastas were good and a really great value compared to other restaurants in the West Loop. We're not big meat eaters and prefer it in the smaller appetizer portions, so we didn't try any of the larger meat or fish dishes. The serving staff was great, but the kitchen got backed up and a couple dishes were slow in coming. But our server was aware of the back-up and brought us an extra dish at no charge to hold us over while waiting for the kitchen to catch up. I really recommend trying this place.

This is a really fun place with great food. Expensive for what it is, but still very good. Service was excellent.

We’re here from out of town and have eaten here on 2 earlier trips. Food is consistently good. Tonight we sat on the patio overlooking the lake and had a delightful evening. Our server was very busy, but attended to us nicely. Everyone on staff was very polite and friendly. Always a nice place to be. Thanks again.
