From ease to reserve, to service and food quality, our experience was excellent. Our 6:00 reservation allowed the 8 of us a leisurely dinner before the short drive to our show at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre

Our server, Diana, was exceptional. She asked the chef to make a special meal for my wife and I. The chef accepted and Dana was happy to ask on our behalf. Diana was super friendly and very attentive. When we return, we will ask for her section. She was amazing and very kind. It was my daughter's birthday and Diana offered us a free piece of cake. The food was outstanding and there were good sized portions.

Food and service always great here. Except on this night the waitress was a little rushed and unfocused. She forgot to put the order in for one of our pizzas. Then blamed it on us saying we told her we only wanted one. Not what happed at all. We initially ordered 3 pizzas and the. She said they have gluten free why don’t you do two instead so we agreed. She only put the gluten free one in to make and we never received the regular cheese.
