Great food, much better than its nearest competitor (PF Changs). Great atmosphere. They customize the menu for B-Days. Nice.

After a 5 day in Chicago, I would have to say that this restaurant was my favorite stop! The atmosphere was awesome (made me feel like I was in New York City). The staff went out of their way to make everything perfect. The food was wonderful and the portions were overly generous. The price for the quality of service and food was very reasonable. For 2 people we ordered an appetizer and 2 entrees. My daughter had their homemade ginger ale and I treated myself to a frozen Mai Tai which was wonderful. Our ticket was right at $50 and we had plenty of food left to take with us. I would definitely make this trip a regular stop when in Chicago.
