Went for Sunday dinner and it was the perfect time to go. Service was good but the menu items have changed since my last visit. The item I choose was not the best, next time I will make sure to order it at a different temperature. A big surprise and change since our last visit is that they now put a 18% tip on ALL checks! We didn't like that. We are great tippers and normally give 20% but this left a bad taste in our mouths so we gave them exactly what they took.

Great environment! Hostess was very friendly! Food portions was adequate for the price. Food was hot when it hit the table 😋 Loved the meatballs and lobster tails. There was a photographer on site that took our picture and later on she came back to present them to us in a glass frame. They were absolutely beautiful 😍. In my party of 5, she made over $200.00 at my table alone. Each photo in a glass frame was $20.00 each. We were there at 3:30pm Sunday, May 28th.

The service was fine however the food was not so great. Salmon was a bit overcooked as were the fresh vegetables that accompany the fish. Drinks lacked any alcohol flavor. This visit was not a good as previous visits here.

Five stars all around. Service is great. Ask for Don - he is the best. Managers are always visible and available for the floor. Greeters are so kind and pleasant. Food is delicious - they add seasonal options frequently so the menu always feels fresh. The chefs are really good with their seasoning, sauces and variety. It’s a gem in the suburbs.

What a fun find! We started at the bar for happy hour. on a Friday Chatted with the other guests- all locals who stop in for the great food and drinks menu from 3-6pm. Then moved to the restaurant, had our picture taken (then purchased later- guess it's a Chicago thing ;-), another picture taken with complimentary Stoli vodka shots, enough in our 2 mains that we had leftovers-- went back to the hotel happy and full.

Great choice for Mothers Day. I was expecting a green salad with veggies in addition to the grilled veggies. That would have really topped it off. Only choice of bread was corn bread. Some people like rolls and butter. Loved the drinks!

When this place first opened it was great and the food and drinks still are. However, the clientele has declined and it ruins the experience. Went for Mother's Day brunch, food and choices good, but I do prefer the regular dinner menu. But my goodness, the people and the way they dress, present themselves, and behave just ruined it for us. People need to class up - I was in fear that someone at any given moment move jump up and start twerking! I will try again on a regular day during the week and hopefully there will be better clientele there.

Everything was very nice the mother day brunch was very nice I think a complementary drink should be included for 55 dollars because who want a nice meal with no drink but other than that everything was very nice and put together the picture thing was a nice touch but a bit much for 20 each when it’s ladies and all the ladies want a copy of the picture so I think something more economical friendly would be better like a backdrop situation with the card board things to put the pics in at many 10 bucks a pop would be much better but other than that everything was very nice

Lunch for Mother's Day. Busy but quiet. Definitely recommend the appetizers, all of them were good especially the Oysters Rockefeller. Drinks are strong. You have to ask for bread. Normal 18% mandatory gratitude. Service 8/10. Food 9/10. Ambiance 10/10.
