    Everything we had was delicious. We ordered 4 small plates and each one was better than the next. The service was fantastic without being rushed. The cocktails are also very good. It was a top notch meal and experience.

    We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary here. It was fabulous food and the service was outstanding. She was attentive, knowledgeable about all the food and made our special day special. We loved every part of this meal.

    attentive service. Only complaints are that the seating was uncomfortable. Also, music was loud so that it was difficult to carry on a conversation. Dessert was outstanding .

    Loved every minute of dinner. Our server, Anna, was fabulous. She made great recommendations and assisted with our food selections. Service was impeccable and the food was, of course, delicious. We were encouraged to share plates and enjoyed doing so! A bonus was seeing Graham Elliot in the restaurant while we were there. Would definitely return when back in Chicago. A perfect evening that we won't soon forget!

    Five items ordered, five winners. Fresh ingredients, terrific attention to detail. Relaxed atmosphere but first rate service from enthusiastic/friendly but efficient Kali. Loved the cocktails and the wine service. The fresh spring pea risotto was a real winner, as were kale salad, black cod, rabbi schnitzel. My only regret is that we didn't order the full sized banana split instead of the junior portion. I'll be back!

    For all the hype about Graham Elliott and his restaurant, we found it not to be anything special. The service was good, but the chefs working in the kitchen were just cooking food and it was unimpressive. Too salty and too spicy -- sharing and trying many dishes. No need to go back. Story could have been different if Graham himself was present in his restaurant.

    We enjoyed a great Mother's Day brunch! The food was outstanding! The atmosphere was wonderful and our waitress was perfect. And the best part was the $39 per person price. Thank you GEB.
