    Awful experience…3 appetizers took an hour and a half to come out. Manager offered to comp the apps and then never did…we asked our waitress to fix this and she couldn’t without her manager and then she informed us her manager left….? Brutal.

    Good food and solid vibes. The service was so-so but it seemed like the kitchen wasn't reading the tickets. Also, they ran out of champagne during brunch.

    Our server was terrible. Barely visited our table. Nothing came out in a timely fashion. Wish I wouldn’t have even wasted my time going to brunch there.

    We had made a reservation, but upon arriving we were told we had to wait 10-15minutes for a couple to finish eating. We had arrived on time, early matter of fact,so we didn't understand why 2 people had been given our space for 9. Nearly an hr later, the couple kept ordering shots. The hostess clearly saw this, and also saw half our party of 9 just standing but acted like it was fine. We had to ask to get more chairs and squish them around the 1 table given. What's the point of making a reservation if your table is still going to go to someone else? We were able to get out reserved space, about 2 hours after our reservation time. Food and drinks were good but the experience in overall was a 3-10

    I came for restaurant week and every course was delicious!! The only problem was that the food took FOREVER!! My server was attentive, but it appeared that she was the only one which was crazy since it was a Saturday night. She did the best she could. She had a good attitude and was attentive, but the bussers, food runners, and even the manager seemed to be of little to no help. Our courses came out in the wrong order and it took nearly 2 hours to get to the main entree. Nothing made sense. I would only recommend this place because the food was VERY good.

    I really enjoyed Uproar. The service was great and the food was very tasty. The blood orange marg was excellent. I also had the garlic shrimp skewers, whipped feta, short rib and brownie a la mode. No complaints and will definitely be back!

    The food was definitely sub par. The pictures on the menu look great but the foos was not seasoned well at all, and I’m pretty sure that the truffle fries were just fries with fat cheese and parsley. I tasted no truffle. I would come here for drinks as they were tasty and strong. But the food is a hard pass.

    Lol. They were out of several things we tried to order, forgot items we had ordered, didn’t tell us things were out until a half-hour after we placed our order, and kept turning the music volume up and down (but mostly up, oyyy) on a comically dated playlist. Food was deeply mediocre. Nice server, but not on top of things.

    Great Old Town gastro pub place. Server was nice but did not know the drink menu which is not printed or on -line. Food was outstanding. Will return for the Avocado Toast appetizer and the Salmon entree.

    Mediocre food, drinks were decent but could be stronger for the price. You can’t do bottomless mimosas at brunch unless your whole table does it, except we were happy we didn’t go that route anyway. Service was fair and we would have probably ordered more drinks if it were a bit quicker. Not a bad experience, however will not return.

    the service was not that great, server took way too long to come to our table, then to bring/refill the bottomless mimosas. you have 2hrs to enjoy of that & felt like she took 30min each time just to refill it. not worth it.

    Went for a Thursday Happy Hour and it was a good vibe! great deal on the Happy Hour with the $1 oysters and the $4 canned drinks. We sat outside which was really nice, but the ice the oysters were on melted pretty quickly because summertime Chicago is toasty! But overall, the oysters were delish and the drinks were great.

    The food and drinks were phenomenal. The staff was attentive and kind. The noise level was way too loud. Definitely more of a turn-up and get rowdy spot so would be perfect for a bachelorette party or birthday brunch.
