The Ambiance was cute, the food was very well priced, and so delicious! We got the fish and chips, a burger, and a pretzel to start and all were delicious. Very unassuming food, but delicious taste! The service was fast and attentive, and we had no issues making our show time! Definitely would recommend for a casual dinner out

Came here for drinks with friends and had a great time! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with friendly staff and plenty of space to relax. Their drink selection was solid, and the food was amazing—definitely coming back to try it next time. Perfect spot in the Loop for a casual night out.

If it wasn't for our amazing server being so kind to us, we would've left and went somewhere else. We had reservations at opening time for Sunday brunch but when we arrived we got a very limited paper menu that had only 1 breakfast item. Our server was also confused about why the kitchen was refusing to do brunch as advertised. It was even advertised on the paper placemat. They wouldn't even do a grilled cheese for a kid, only what was on the menu. No flexibility....
