    Cocktails were good, food was mediocre. The crab dip lacked seasoning except excessive char (not browning) on top. The warm cookie was like a big Toll House, which went nicely with their egg nog variation. But it was a nice atmosphere and was otherwise a nice experience.

    The appetizer selection was impressive. My wife and I shared oysters and the bone marrow. Both were very good. The house cocktail list was tasty. I had the Fame in Chicago. My wife had the spicy lobster pasta dish that was outstanding. For dessert, we split the apple, butterscotch, carmel, and creme brule. Overall, great food and service with an amazing view of the Chicago river.

    The chicken and beef dishes we had were excellent. The banana dessert was too oily. Otherwise the meal was wonderful. The noise level is too high making a business meeting impossible . The music is pulsating and after awhile becomes distracting.
