    20-30min into sitting at our table my wife and I just sat there. No waiter came to attend us. Didn’t put our food order let alone put a drink order. Seemed like we were basically ignored while other tables were being attended to. Finally, a waitress came by to ask if someone had attended to us and we said no. instead of apologizing and taking our drink order she tells us to hold on and walked away. There was 4-5 workers all hanging around the bar area and not one of them came to take a drink order or even introduce themselves. No one ever came back to apologize or seemed to care that a whole table was not being taken care of. overall, this place was a huge disappointment and I am glad we didn’t get to eat their food looked like it wasn’t even authentic mariscos….

    Every dish has very bold flavors, but well executed and unique. Very nice staff. Young energetic clientele, so a bit noisy. Interesting location next to river with good (semi industrial) views.

    This was my 2nd time there and I will continue coming to this restaurant. Food is so flavorful and fresh. Drinks are so good. The servers are nice and attentive. They brought out a free dessert for my boyfriend's bday. The dj playing mixture of music, good vibes. This place is great for date night, girls night, or celebrating a special occasion.

    Extremely underwhelming. Menu looks so promising, get ready for the let down. We did not have drinks so maybe those are good. Food fairly tasteless, Taco bell has a leg up sadly. I think the server knew the food was not great as he seemed uninterested in recommending anything, did not tell us about spicy level of soup we ordered (the best thing I had but my wife could not eat it), etc. Music blaring (an attempt to keep your attention on anything but the food?), not a place to have a conversation. Would not recommend this place.

    The food was good but not filling at all. More like tapas small portions. Was still hungry after I left. The top shelf margarita was $26 which was very overpriced. The service was good and waiter was nice. I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back.

    We’re from Los Angeles and have nothing in comparison to Chef Michael Hernandez’ delectable delights. He took us two foodies on an amazing culinary adventure, never have we tasted the stuffed pineapple with shrimp topped with flavors!!!OMG!!! The clams were so fresh and tasty, we knew he had to have chosen them at today’s fish market. The food is presented in an art form, we loved the churro and homemade whip cream and ice cream. Servers were friendly, professional and very attentive. It was so amazing we will be back on our next trip to Chicago and will tell all of our friends coming this way.

    My son brought me to this beautiful establishment for my birthday (09/10). We had looked this place up last year and made plans since then...we're from Madison Wisconsin. The colors and the atmosphere was amazing! Great music upstairs and great servers and hosts. My sons chair broke upstairs, so his chair/stool was replaced immediately. But after that we decided to go downstairs and sit inside. The server downstairs was horrible, he didn't check on us and was very aggressive towards me when I asked for chips for my dip. This server also overcharged us and didn't bring my birthday churros out...BUT Manager Derek made corrected the bill and had the birthday treat to come out shortly afterwards and things turned around. I am GRATEFUL Manager Derek showed true Chicago Bears Pride (lol) and made things better and right. I would definitely come back. The rooftop is literally LIFE, especially if you love to dance.

    The food was delicious! We had a party of 6, celebrating a big birthday. The waitress was fair. Some things good have been improved. Bringing chips and salsa with very little chips for a table of 6, no water refills and the food and drink order was simple yet it was wrong. We ordered tacos with cheese - no cheese came. We did get it as a side. We ordered liquor neat, it came on the rocks. By the time we got it back, it was watered down. The ice was removed and the drink brought back. It's the little things that really could have turned a nice time into a great one.
