    A great experience from start to finish. Seated quickly. Great service from start to finish from our server. The food was excellent. This was not our first visit and we tried some different menu items this time two different types of flatbread (both were delicious) and the Shellfish Brodetto was also a hit. We were celebrating our anniversary and were treated to a fantastic dessert (and a nice card). Fun and lively atmosphere and we will be back!

    Our waiter Ty was exceptional. The entire staff goes above and beyond with service. We were there for our anniversary and one of our desserts was free. My husband had the pork chop and said it was the best one he's ever had. I had their barrmundi and it was the best I ever had. You will not be disappointed coming here, go now!

    We always enjoy the Wrigley Mansion. We maintain our membership because the service, food, and cocktails are consistently fabulous. This was our 2nd time attending the Jazz dinner at Geordie’s. The first time was a wonderful experience, this time…meh. We went for my sister’s birthday. Service was inattentive and we were rushed out at the 90 minute mark. Very disappointed that we couldn’t order dessert. Was hoping to get her a piece of cake or something to celebrate. Portion (and no cheese or basil…nothing) on the gnocchi was a bit sparse for the money. It’s unfortunate that my only negative experience at Wrigley was when I was trying to impress someone. Ah, hopefully it will be back to regular standards next time.

    A perfectly beautiful culinary Christmas Eve!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The mussels, calamari, scallops, and chicken fennel pasta last night were some of the best dishes I've ever had there. Overall the food was spot on, the staff are all marvelous and the ambiance is always right!

    Amazing! Prior to dinner, we had drinks and apps at the Jade and loved the service, creative drinks (Ruby Slipper and Chocolate Old Fashion) and delicious food! The view was spectacular! Then moved over to The Elements for an outstanding dinner! We sat outside and looked out over the beautiful lights and mountains. The food was wonderful!! Diver Scallops were our favorite but crab cakes, fillet and Salmon were equally delicious!! Just an outstanding experience all the way around!! Well done!!
