    Almost everything we ordered was excellent. The asparagus, burrata beet and tomato dish, and the halibut special was outstanding.

    Food for brunch was mediocre at best. Presentations were poor. Dishes weren’t as tasty as in the past. Drinks were plebeian without any verve. Restaurant had a bad day or is relying on past triumphs

    Innovative restaurant with fantastic food. The crab cake appetizer and the shrimp appetizers were delicious. The halibut and the short rib entree were great as well. The short rib was a small portion, but was really good. Creative drinks. The only knock on this restaurant is it is a small main room and the tables are close together. It is a very popular restaurant so it is crowded. But it is consistently one of the best restaurants on the North Shore. We will be back.

    Dined for the first time this week after moving into the area from downtown. The food was very good and interesting flavors - every bit as good as downtown Chicago. Service was outstanding by all the staff - water glasses seemed to be filled after every drink.
