We had a terrible experience last night. We had made reservations for 530 and had tickets for the Egyptian theater at 730. We thought 2 hrs would be plenty of time. Ordered a drink, then waited 30 minutes for someone to return to our table. 2nd time we ordered our food and another drink. An hour goes by now with no one to our table again. It was not 7. We then went searching for our wait staff and asked. We found out that our food would still be 15-20 minutes before we could served. We opted out from further due to time retrains. We did tell our wait staff that we had a concert at 730 and she said we had plenty of time. People that came after us had ate and gone before we left ourselves. We thought it would be a nice place to dine but realized we will never be back.. sorry for the poor review but you did not care about serving us either..

We came here to celebrate after eloping. The food and cocktails were amazing. Our server and the bartender were both so sweet and so excited for us. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for. I can't wait to come back.
Thank you for helping to make our special day even more special <3

Ate here for the first time with some friends.
Food was just okay.
Appetizer of bruschetta was just French bread, slice of tomato, slice of cheese, quarter sized dollop of pesto.
I ordered the Beef and Asparagus meal, the beef was super tender, but it was served with some sort of sweet sauce that was not mentioned in the menu. I wouldn't have ordered if I had known that. Eventually a heat kicked in that hid the sweetness and made it so I could finish the meal.
My wife ordered Chicken Sliders and she didn't like the flavor of that sauce either.
Fries were supposed to be "parmesan fries" and all they had was a little parmesan cheese sprinkled on them. Other places we've been to actually use oils or garlic to make the upgrade worth it.
One person in our party didn't get their sushi for almost 10 minutes after everyone else received their food. She enjoyed her meal, and the 4th person with us was happy with their angus sliders.
Overall 50/50 on if we would eat here again.

Food was great. Service was slow but may have been due to NIU graduation.

Have been here twice and have had a great experience both times. Finding on street parking in downtown Dekalb can be challenging but it is worth it. We have been sampling a number of the different dishes and while there are some we enjoy more than others, that is what trying is all about. Food is prepared quickly and is a nice amount of food per dish; not too much and not too little. The amount we paid for four different dishes was comparable to what we would typically pay at other sit down restaurants. And while I am not usually a big acoustic guitar fan, the guy playing last night was a very gifted player and made his guitar sing. All made for an enjoyable dinner.

A little more expensive, but the food, service, and atmosphere are easily among the best in DeKalb.

A beautifully decorated restaurant with a large variety of food selectons. Staff was amazing. Live music was excellent. Food was creative, delicious with a great presentation.The cocktails were very unique and good. It was fun to try several different choices.We highly recommend that you make this one of your favorites.

Vegetarian options: There was a shortage of vegetarian options. They would probably adapt some items if asked.
