    Margherita pizza was great. Branzino fish entree was exceptional, but don't order if you don't like bones.

    We stopped in early before a show - only one other extremely loud table …ordered a drink and had to go to the bar to request it because the server never brought it . Appetizer came at the same time as the meal and was cold ….. food was only average and tasted ‘processed’ Service was quite horrible, I would hate to see it when it was busy

    The restaurant was pretty dead. Food was mediocre. Some of our dishes came out cold. Definitely won’t be back.

    We should’ve just stayed home. This was easily the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to in Chicago.

    Gave us four crackers for the huge bowl of spinach dip???? An attempt at fine dinning but have a microwave in the kitchen. Everything seemed to be precooked packaged food.
