Great casual restaurant with wonderful food year round. Especially nice outside in the summer overlooking the lake. Added perk; one of few nice restaurants in area with parking.
Very good food and amazing location. Interior can be a bit loud so not a great place for that quiet romantic dinner. Outdoor seating is pleasant but furniture is dated and wobbly. This could be improve with relatively little effort and cost on their end. Valet parking for the location is a good value.
Less formal than I expected. Hostess was wonderful and attentive. Waiter not so much. Cobb salad had a funky taste. Didn't complain, my bad. Price of wine...too high.
What a sweet lake-front Chicago gem. The food was all delicious. A lovely wine selection. The craft cocktails all sounded Devine. Valet parking was super easy and only $15. We were there for lunch and our group had the fish and chips, BLT and Cauliflower Tacos. The 1 year old loved his chicken tenders and fries. We will be back soon!
One of my favorite places. The tomato soup is great as are the salads! And the wait staff is friendly, helpful.
I did not like the food... terrible. I hate it because the view and ambience was very nice.
Wonderful views of the Lakefront! We sat outdoors on patio. Staff very friendly! Appetizers very good, had deviled eggs and cheese plate. Main dishes-ehh. Had lobster roll, would not recommend. Was not even close to what I expected. Was cold, no butter, sauce very bland👎, Fish and chips - fries very soggy, too much breading with fish. Overall nice place for drinks and appetizers.
We had a very nice anniversary dinner here, dining outside by the lake. The ambience is the biggest attraction here, one can choose a lakefront or lake and city skyline view. It was a Tuesday evening, so it was not crowded, service was very good and prices were reasonable. We ordered the yummy Fresno Pepper Deviled Egg appetizer and shared the halibut and the steak frites. The halibut was outstanding, the steak frites, for this admitted steak snob, was just pretty good (the Black garlic cafe de paris topping was excellent, though). For desert, the very delicious Jeni's ice cream. All in all, a wonderful evening, and highly recommended!
Lake Michigan is Chicago's great natural wonder, and this is one of the few restaurants that overlook it. Sit outside on a warm summer evening, order the ceviche, and remind yourself how lucky you are to live here.
We had a fantastic time. We were a party of 9, as we were entertaining out-of-town guests. We started with cocktails insude, while our outside table was prepared. The experience was a perfect 10.

The view of this restaurant is wonderful, but the food is just mediocre and the service was super slow, even though the restaurant was not busy at all.
The atmosphere was lovely it was a beautiful day. The food was extremely average, the service was mostly inattentive and the music was beyond dreadful!! Thankfully I was with good company. This place could be so much more.
Fantastic service, fantastic food!
We had brunch there on a beautiful summer day. The setting and the view are spectacular The food was very good though I think the deviled eggs may have been in the fridge too long. The service was acceptable but not great
Staff was friendly, put the NBA Finals game on for us. Go Thunder!
