    Sat us at a table that was really unstable and quite a lot time spent trying to stop it aggressively wobbling. Then took a server over 20 mins to come to our table to take a drinks order

    LOUD! Food good. Server excellent. The place was a bit warm. It was a very hot day in Chicago and the AC at ALL establishments struggled to keep up. I just learned that the brunch cocktail special is going away. I’m very disappointed about that. You folks need some kind of a drink special to attract biz during these inflationary times.
