    Drinks are overpriced and not made correctly. Mine was missing the passionfruit puree, server said it was fine. Didn't offer to replace it. Steak was overcooked and overpriced for the cut of meat and size it was. Portions are all super small for the price paid. The only thing good about this place was the outdoor seating overlooking the Tribune building and lake. Won't be coming back here.

    The restaurant/hotel was beautiful, food was good, but honestly hosts wasn’t very welcoming to me I felt racially profiled. It took about at least 20 mins to get seated and serviced when it wasn’t even crowded at all . I am an African American woman and the energy I received was horrific, the food and views was good but I definitely will not be returning.

    Super slow. It took 45+ min to get out food. In general it seemed unorganized and we expected better for the price.
