The food was incredible. I I had the burger and I could not stop eating it. The fries were the best. We went for brunch and we had options for lunch too. My friend had the mushroom omelette and it was simply out of this world. The food, the ambience, the setting, and the surface is absolutely outstanding.

Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered
