Stumbled upon this restaurant while we were in West Loop area the week before. Saw the reviews and the atmosphere looked interesting to try. It did not disappoint. Great vibe and everything we ordered were as perfect as can be. Squid ink pasta was just superb with taste and texture. Pork chops were grilled to perfection. Even burrata cheese appetizer was just what we had hoped it would be. Love this place. We will have to bring our family back next time.

I expected more people and a lively atmosphere, but it was a more quiet day this time. We ordered pork chops and burrata, and both were great! They put cookies on the Tiramisu, which was unique.

Amazing anniversary dinner other than the crab legs everything was awesome. Crab legs are grilled with Cajun butter added not the steamed preparation I like. Loved the halal creekstone steak options. Whipped ricotta is a must try and great calamari too. Ravioli homemade was heavenly.

Didn’t appreciate having a reservation for dinner and then being seated in the bar area. I did not want to be in the loud bar for dinner. These bar tables should be considered high top tables like other restaurants indicate their bar seating. We then had to wait an extremely long time to have them make room for us at another table in the actual dining room. Of course there were other patrons that were seated at tables in the regular dining room before we were seated, even though we were there prior to their arrival. It will really make me reconsider returning in the future.
