While in Chicago this week, we decided to pop in for lunch because we have heard great things about this place. We had the beet salad with grilled chicken,a Ceasar wrap with homemade chips and one link of smoked sausage. Everything was delicious, and the smoked sausage was so good.

Comfortable neighborhood spot that's been here forever. Well-curated wine, beer and cocktail selection. Sullen bartender with excessive eye make-up gives me the creeps, though.
A great place with a vintage vibe!
