It’s creamy and rich from the mozzarella and blue cheese but the pickled onion and fried jalapeño balance it out perfectly. They also pour a top-notch pint of Guinness. The service we had left nothing to be desired. Maggie, our server, was great and the atmosphere perfect. If you’re in Chicago, make sure to stop by."

The cocktails were equally impressive and felt carefully crafted rather than ordinary. The overall experience was enjoyable and definitely worth five stars, and I would gladly come back again."

Everything was cooked just right, full of flavor, and the portions were generous enough to leave us completely satisfied. What truly set this visit apart were the thoughtful birthday touches—a complimentary cookie, a handwritten card from the staff, and even “Happy Birthday” printed on the menu. Those small details made the experience feel truly special and personal. It’s rare to find a place that puts so much care into both the food and the guest experience. I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending it to my family in Chicago."

This place was recommended for the burger, so I ordered that, done medium. You can see from the pic, it was a bit under done especially for two patties. The salads were just okay. The fish and chips were good and truffle fries stole the show. Our table had divided reviews about the civiche- but I loved it. Nice touch with the white beans. I would go back here and try more options."

The Manhattan was well done! The only downside was the wait time for the burrata, which was well over 30 minutes and felt a bit long given how busy it was. Overall, a great pre- or post-show option downtown, and I’d definitely give it another try."
