I had a very nice experience at this place recently. I was visiting Chicago on a business trip and went to this based on a recommendation at my hotel front desk.

We had a group dinner here and I ordered the chicken alfredo which was great. Veal was great as well. Everyone liked their meal. We traveled to Chicago to see the Dodgers play, so when we arrived to see Tommy Lasorda eating out front was just the icing on the cake. Great place will return next trip and great location more

Really expensive, but a great place for a date (or for when your mom wants to take you out on the town on her money). The food is great and I had left overs for two days. more

After reading so many terrible reviews about the long waits and unfriendly staff I felt the need to post a review quickly about a good experience at this restaurant. I had made a reservation for 7:45 but we decided to go earlier although they were unable to change the reservation over the phone. Got there at 7pm and was seated... more
