Table, Donkey and Stick

I already knew the food and drinks were going to be remarkable (I dream of their duck liver mousse), so what really stood out during my most recent visit was the stellar service. The restaurant was very busy, yet the staff were the perfect amount of attentive and never seemed to be rushing through the evening—it was lovely to get to chat about the wine we ordered with our server! I can't wait to visit again.

We had an excellent time dining here for restaurant week! The staff was so kind and fun, we will absolutely go back.

Inventive menu, attentive but not overbearing service, quiet rustic vibe. Food was excellent.

Fantastic service and a welcoming vibe. Charcuterie is not to be missed. I would also recommend the rabbit pappardelle.

This is a special place. The space is unassuming and intimate, with unfussy but extremely well-thought out food that was delightful from beginning to end. Staff was kind and helpful. We'll be regulars for sure.

Loved this restaurant. Delicious food. Perfect service. Casual neighborhood place that couldn't be better. Can't wait to return.

Everything from top to bottom was fabulous! They have a great wine program and their cocktails or spectacular. I will go back anytime.

Great food, wine and cocktails. Very small interior, long row tables make it a bit tight, but not uncomfortable by any means. The service was great and the food was amazing.

Brought my family here from out of town this past Saturday. We were seated at the table on the left of the door. Right away we noticed how cold it was at our table, not only from the door opening without any secondary protection, but also from the patio doors which had been duct taped shut for heat sealing ?
Multiple people at our table & at other tables were wearing winter coats while seated to have dinner, so we asked if they could turn the heat up. Our server kindly replied no problem and that they likely did not have it very high anyway (she was wearing a sweatshirt).

The temperature did mildly improve, but no one was warm enough to remove their jackets. The food was good, nothing too inventive, and they needed to come back twice for things on the menu that were not available. In general, nobody at the table could stop talking about how cold they were, which is the last thing I’d expect to have to worry about when making a reservation. With so many other amazing options in Chicago, this one is a skip.

My husband brought me here and what a wonderful experience!
The dishes were made with high-quality, fresh ingredients, and the flavors were truly exceptional. I especially loved the small plates — beautifully presented and amazing quality for the price.

I ordered the schnitzel and WOW! One of the best I’ve had in the States since visiting Europe. The sauce and side salad really elevate the dish, definitely their signature touch.
Amazing desserts. I do not think this place is expensive at all.

It was a little cold inside, but overall the ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Review doesn't do this place justice. Just go with a group of people and order all the food.

No. Just no. This restaurant was filthy! Look up at the lights or on the shelves and furniture. So dirty. The staff…way too casual. The food was nothing reflective of the price we paid. Serving sizes were adequate. Though we ordered a number of plates, small and large, non of them were presented as beautifully as the images online. First time in Chicago and was excited to try a local spot. Totally disappointed.
