    The food was pretty good, but it was pretty expensive. Our server was not very attentive and we had to wave him over several times to get our food and drink waters. This wouldn’t have been a big deal except the restaurant was virtually empty at dinner time. You seem more interesting in socializing with his coworkers.

    Caesar salad was excellent. Half chicken… good fav/ nice and smoky. Mushroom skewers excellent. Gnocchi was pretty good… I love vodka sauce but I am not raving about this one, the gnocchi itself was excellent… could of used some fresh ground pepper or Parm maybe but not offered. Also, my SB was from Fennville, no thank you. Maybe an upgrade to your wine menu?

    We went here since it was close to our hotel. I had the walleye and ceaser salad both delicious. My husband tried the hanger steak which was very chewy and he didn’t like it. It looked like the server spoke to a manager , but no one came to our table to check. Service was very slow, my husband asked for dessert as I asked for the check he had the Cracker Jack dessert, which was tasty. Would I return . Yes. I did enjoy my dinner and location is a plus.

    As always, enjoyed our time gazing at Wrigley! The cocktails and food were amazing, but despite the space being slow, the service was as well. Chefs and bartenders are always on point here. Servers not up to level that they should be.
