Maybe not the place for a light lunch unless you just want soup, but our food was outstanding!

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
