"Food was average. They seem understaffed; almost basically no waiter around after we ordered. Had issues w order that took long time to resolve due to no one coming to check how the meal was going at any point. Not coming again."

"If you are considering eating here, do it. This was genuinely one of my best meals that I had in my trip to Chicago. The service was so amazing and the food was top tier. The portions are also big which I appreciate so much. I would definitely recommend going here with a group of friends (or alone) because the interior is also so fun! I will definitely be visiting again!"
