If you want to see and be seen by the beautiful people, this is the place for you. If you want a great meal stay away. Dined here on Friday, April 24th, 2009. Wine that I orderd was clearly not what was brought to the table. When I pointed this out to the waiter, he told me the wine that... more

Third and last visit. My husband loves this place and I understand why. Excellent service, masculine decor. But I think it's overpriced for the quality of food. more

Really fun place. Especially for 30-40 somethings. Downstairs has a very happening bar and the upstair restaurant is a great dining experience. Great service and terrific food. Right in the middle of Rush Street and has great outdoor dining as well. more

First, a very impressive menu... dinner was fantastic (my wife and I shared the Pork Chop and Filet). We went back the next day for breakfast and again very happy. We will be back on our next trip to Chicago. more
