    The entire staff was so accommodating to is all. Miguel set us up at the best table So we didn’t have to move once the Band started. Our Server Kennedy was absolutely amazing. She took care of the entire table and several tabs at once. Made our night that much more fun !

    We stopped by for happy hour and decided to stay for dinner. We ate Al fresco and enjoyed everything we ate including guacamole, pimiento cheese and freshly made chips, Nashville hot chicken sandwich and incredibly delicious brisket plate. To top it all off, we had a great waiter who made our experience even more enjoyable.

    We were visiting Chicago and had a great dinner with friends. The food was great and the whiskey selection was even better! Special shout out to the Sausage and Pimento appetizer and the cornbread!

    Excellent food and service, was nice to dine outside as well. Only criticism is that I was charged more for an extra chicken tender than had been advertised on the online menu.
