    A Chicago classic and is still as impressive today as it has ever been! Our group of 9 had a fun evening. Food was great and service was outstanding!

    Had our anniversary dinner here and it was the best choice! Our server Mike was incredible and so was all of the food we had. The cocktails were also well made. Special mention for the crab cakes, DO NOT skip those! There’s a reason this place has been in business for 80 years and it shows. Definitely a great choice for a classic steak house experience.

    I made a reservation for me and my girlfriend’s 4 year anniversary. I had high hopes expectations for this place. Other times we have come, the service seems top notch. It may have been that it was on a Sunday, I don’t know. When we arrive our table wasn’t really a spot reserved for us it was just a table that was open. We know since it was set for four, they asked us if more people would be joining us, and it didn’t really accommodate to my preference/request. Then after we had to wait for menus, once the waiter arrives they don’t even know that we are celebrating anything. We have dined here as walk in before and we’ve gotten a better more attentive service. At the end we got a small comp desert with a candle that felt more like a birthday. Since that was the same thing they were given to two tables who came for their birthday. I reserved a table here because I felt that they could really help us make our day special. But it was just an ok service for a slow Sunday.

    They have been around for decades for a reason. 'Old School' Italian at it's best.

    We really enjoyed celebrating a family member’s birthday at this old-school Chicago landmark. The ambience was warm and intimate, the food delicious and plentiful, and our very personable, attentive wait staff was the icing on the cake. Many thanks for a lovely evening; we hope to return soon!
