   Excellent, attentive service; nice ambience- great for a birthday or anniversary celebration. The rib eye was delicious! The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese were decadent. And I ordered a cocktail that had pineapple and a smoky kick- it was really good.

   The service was excellent! Brick chicken “au jus” was very fatty chicken thighs with skin. Very little meat. Lots of fat. “Au jus” was a very fatty and salty sauce. Portions were huge. Grilled asparagus was stringy and chewy. Charred broccolini was delicious! We shared a dessert (3 people). An obscenely enormous piece of cake arrived at our table. Enough for 6 people. My husband had steak and was sick all night. Do not recommend.

   We had a lovely dinner here, and will definitely be back! It’s a really nicely decorated space. The service was excellent, everyone was pleasant, helpful, and professional. Our server Rachael was amazing, did a wonderful job describing the menu options and made the experience so much better. Food was so delicious, we had the octopus, focaccia, sea bass, filet, and a fun birthday dessert. Drinks were perfect. Overall a wonderful dining experience.

   Overall and underwhelming experience. Everything was just okay. Did not live up to my expectations based on other reviews and other steakhouses in Chicago.

   Food is TOP NOTch - will be back again Some of the other patrons are quite rude and smelly. If the crowd is like that again I may need to move on to other steak houses. One table reeked of disgusting smelling pot. It’s legal now, one would think you could get some decent marijuana or an odor less edible if that’s your thing. Another table near us was drunk and acting like frat bros at a kegger. I could barely hear the conversation at my own table. Thankfully the frat bro table left after our appetizer.

   Reserved a table but ended up sitting at the bar. Luckily we got there in time for happy hour, so a glass of 'red' wine and the burger (only on HH menu @ bar) sounded good. Wine tasted good and was a great value, unfortunately the burger was overcooked for both of us - but it wasn't a bad burger! Kind of like your uncles BBQ. The hospitality and atmosphere outweighs the need for your food to hit "influencer" status. Had it been slightly less cooked, who knows where Unc could be... Shoutout to our bartender! Was a friggin gem. Great at knowing when to have a chat and when to help out during the meal. 10/10 would sit at his bar again.
