    Our go-to on Grant Park and Chicago Symphony concert nights….either before or after. Apps are great and generous enough for our late-night meal. Entrees are well prepared and not just standard fare. Service is always good. Wine list needs more moderately priced selections.

    Cocktails were super yummy, server was excellent, the food was just missing the final touches. I got the Chicken Fried Lobster. The lobster was very juicy but the breading fell off immediately and the “salt and vinegar” fries were just regular fries. My fiancé got the Lamb Vindaloo and the lamb was perfectly cooked but the sauce was a thin and the could’ve been way more of it. We’re from Iowa so the prices just felt a bit high for food that was good but not great.

    For a place with so many places to eat this gastropub stands out quite a bit. Its location is perfect right beside Millennium Park brings in an extremely lively crowd especially during happy hours. The dining room is extremely lively and fun atmosphere. This restaurant excels in pub classics like fish and chips but other things like the chicken roulade stand out among the rest. Starting out with the burrata is a must and a real treat to share with a partner. If you save room for dessert GET THE CREAM PUFFS! The sauce is so good you could pour it on a boot and it still would make a great meal. I cannot recommend this place enough and it’s worth while in every way to go to it

    Outstanding food, service, and decor - classy and welcoming at the same time. The space is well-designed so there's practically no noise - this is much appreciated! People in our party ordered different appetizers and main course entrees, and some of the reactions were: "This is the best I've ever tasted!" Our server Maggie O. was very attentive. At most other restaurants, wait staff would usually just interrupt you in the middle of someone raising a toast, and break the flow of the event. Not here! Maggie came for orders at one point, but when she saw that we were raising glasses and someone was speaking, she quietly left and came back after we had our drinks. She was positive and smiling throughout the evening. Thank you! I loved the elk rack! Very good desserts too - we had dark chocolate mousse. We have all decided that we'll definitely return to this restaurant.

    Great location but felt like they knew it and were trading on it. Shame they couldn’t get the billing right - not a huge error but in their favour which always makes you think. Not terrible, you’ll have an ok evening but would I go again, given the choices all about, maybe not.
