We had reservations for 630 and we were taking immediately upstairs. Beautiful atmosphere great view of the lake. Weather was very nice that day so it was a great experience. I ordered the lobster roll, which was delicious! My husband had the shrimp tacos, which he really enjoyed and then he ordered a side of their brussels sprouts, which he said were phenomenal. We would definitely go there again!

Waited 25 minutes before getting waited on only after stopping a bus boy to fine a waitress. Then had to go to bar to pick up drinks she did not bring back. Waitress never came back had to go to bar to get drink refills. Food once we finally were able to order and receive was good. A manager came by the table after we were there over 2 hours and apologized for the service. Most likely will not return.

The service could’ve been better. I didn’t feel very welcomed but the food was decent. I tried the Socialite cocktail and it was quite delicious.

Extremely noisy. I wish they had better sound barriers for all of the echoing. We came here after dinner to have a drink and we were seated upstairs. It was extremely noisy and they only had one bartender working to cover a room that was filled with 100 people . It took forever to receive any service. Great ambiance but I’m not sure we will return.
Windy City SocialResponded on June 6, 2025
Hi Denise, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the noise level and service during your visit did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the sound and staffing, and we’re actively looking into ways to improve the atmosphere and service experience. We value your input and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Sincerely, Windy City Social Management
