Cauliflower steak seemed a bit undercooked for what was expected. Drinks were good, empanadas were ok, and short rib tacos were good.

Loud restaurant, which we don't usually mind, but service was so, so slow that we ordered our next drink as soon as the previous order had arrived! Portions were not the same on each plate, the gentleman at the next table ordered exactly the same as my husband and even commented on how different his plate looked to the one that had arrived at ours! So, not somewhere I would be rushing back to next time we are in town.

The steak was delicious, and the three-way potatoes were so flavorful and creamy. And I really enjoyed that the most.. cocktails were Yum.

The restaurant had a good selection of things if you didn't have any allergies. I was quite surprised and disappointed that in this day and age the only options were fish and steak. I would ask that the chef consider making more of the sauces and marinades without gluten as there are tons of ways to do sauces and marinades without gluten.

First of all we went for brunch on Saturday at 9am only to be told brunch doesn't start until noon. Thats LUNCH people. Nowhere on the website does it list brunch hours. The brunch menu had sounded so delicious! We were left with a very limited breakfast menu to choose from and would have left if it wasn't raining. We asked for a water carafe to be left on the table but was told the management won't allow this. Instead we were told that they would make sure our water was kept full - which of course no one did. The food we got was good but I wouldn't go back based on this experience.

Waited 20 minutes for our server to come say hi. His attitude wasn't great when he did finally show up and serve our table. Food was decent, but nothing fancy. Won't go again.

La comida es buena pero con demasiadas especias, supongo que para lograr una sensación de comida mexicana picante sin que pique...

Went on a Friday night with work colleagues. Food and drinks were excellent. There was a magician who was amazing.

The host placed my corporate party of 3 in the darkest and smallest corner of the restaurant despite us having a reservation. Our table could barely accommodate our plates. We waited for at least 40 minutes, our food was served cold, and our birthday girl's food was not only cold but also wrong. The steak was extremely salty, but the fries had little to no salt. The kale salad had canned mandarin oranges in it and that was not in the ingredients. The restaurant was far from being busy, so I don't understand how our food was cold and wrong to begin with. The cookies that came with our meal were just sitting on a small table behind us. We come here a lot for corporate lunches and due to this experience, I do not think we will return.

Server disappeared and took forever to come. Ran out of one of the entrees. Food was nothing special.

The only word I can come up word is: pretentious. The food was ok. The "entertainment" awful - a belly dancer who couldn't/didn't dance. The waiter never once checked on us. Very expensive, small portions and very loud.

Fun place to go- lively atmosphere- but too loud to carry on a conversation. For me, the food was way too spicy and the waiter was overwhelmed working on too many tables.

Service was VERY slow, food was good, main dining room was not available due to a private event so were seated in lounge for dinner

My husband and I were visiting Chicago and made reservations for happy hour. We sat at the bar and were first greeted by a bartender who was pleasant, friendly, and set a positive tone for the evening. Unfortunately, shortly after, another bartender arrived and the experience quickly changed. When I tried ordering a matcha drink from the menu, I was told they didn't have it that day. Later, I asked for an espresso martini, also listed on the menu, and he dismissed the request, saying it would take too long and that he was too busy. His attitude throughout was grumpy and unprofessional—at one point, he was openly making unpleasant faces while tasting a coworker's mixture. He was also short and rude with the couple seated next to us when they asked for salt on the rim of their margarita. The tacos and drinks we did have were delicious, and the first bartender was wonderful. However, the second bartender's attitude ruined what should have been a great evening. We had originally planned to stay much longer, but the poor service led us to close our check early and leave. I truly hope management addresses this, because the food and atmosphere deserve better than the experience we had.
