Our server, Dee(?), was amazing! Great recommendations and she anticipated all of our needs. The food was top notch, as well. Started with the flaming cheese fondue served with fresh focaccia bread. Yum! I had the Surf and Turf and my husband had the Grouper. Both were perfectly prepared and the sides were delicious. Cocktails were fantastic and their Bourbon choices were great for an after dinner pour. We finished with their blueberry cheesecake and devoured every crumb! It was our Anniversary and they even poured us a toast! We will be back!
Delicious food, great ambiance (swanky cocktail bar vibe), owner and manager are always around and super friendly.

Fantastic date night - they were super attentive, food (grouper and salmon risotto mains) was fantastic, and great, inventive cocktails. We will absolutely return and are highly recommending to others! We were a walk in at 6pm on a very busy Saturday, yet they still sat us fairly quickly.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been to this restaurant, and slow service has been an issue every time. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the ambiance is pleasant, but the service always drags the experience down. The food is okay—nothing special—but what’s frustrating is the long wait times. It took 30 minutes to get simple drinks (beer and white wine) and 40 minutes for the food, even though the place was almost empty. It’s disappointing because the setting is great, but the service is consistently too slow to fully enjoy the experience.

A well-deserved 2 stars. The place is beautiful, stylish, and has a great atmosphere. The food is decent, though the only thing I truly loved—the fried mushrooms—was removed from the menu. But every time, the wait for food is ridiculously long. The service is terrible. Last night, they truly outdid themselves! We arrived at 7 p.m. and didn’t get our wine until 40 minutes later, thanks to the bartender who took our order. If it weren’t for him, we might still be sitting there waiting for the server. Even though we were with a 3.5-year-old child, they still brought his food after a full hour. I’m not saying having a child means we deserve special treatment, but in most decent places, they understand that children need to be served sooner. Especially when it’s just boiled pasta—waiting 50 minutes for that is absurd. In the end, we finally got our food at 8:30 p.m., just half an hour before closing at 9 p.m.
The regular brewed coffee and cheese cake is a great combo for after a meal or a break from doing other things in the area. It's a very quiet place and bathrooms are fairly clean just like what we saw in the kitchen. The almond liquor in Manhattan was a nice touch but cherry was not the best.

Aligning with similar reviews I've seen here, I want to give a better rating and I feel I'm being generous with 4 stars, sorry to be harsh. Was on a concert gig nearby and needed to find dinner and 302 was slammed so I went here. I'm no stranger to paying a premium for a high quality, gourmet burger but this just wasn't it. Sad to report an overall lack of flavor within it, really dunno what that was about. Place has a nice vibe and I'm sure it's a great spot for craft cocktails etc but the food doesn't add up with the rest, and odd mismatch. Service was alright. I'm no chef but it's not hard to find a better burger. Maybe I went at a bad time idk, but buyer beware.
The restaurant's interior is beautiful, with decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Service was excellent; we were promptly attended to and didn’t have to wait long for our food or drinks. However, the food was just okay—served semi-warm and lacking in standout flavors. While the overall experience was pleasant, the dishes themselves could use a bit more attention to detail.

My hubby and I enjoyed our unplanned date. We were welcome by a very friendly face. Our servers were attentive. Plenty to choose from off the menu. The bar was also on point. This was our 2nd time dining here. Parking wasn't a problem either.

Went in for lunch to get a bite between meetings and pick up some take out. The tuna crudo was delicious and the scallops I got for takeout were great, and the perfect lunch portion. Love the design and vibe, can’t wait to bring some friends in for dinner!

The food was wonderful. My compliments to the chef, seriously. Beautifully plated and excellently prepared.
The interior and vibe give a city feel. This is a nice addition to the Wheaton/Naperville/Glen Ellyn food scene.
So...what hinders 5 stars? Unfortunately the service did not match the food. The runners were excellent: water was always filled, food came out quickly from the food runner but our main server was often nowhere to be found. He was very nice, he just wasn’t very present. So the service wasn't terrible; it just wasn't great and didn't match the level of the food.
To be fair, it was a Friday evening and I only saw two servers and the place was PACKED. So maybe they are understaffed.
This small glitch is not enough to prevent a return visit.

The atmosphere is nice but our food was underwhelming. The flavors were there for the Surf and Turf entree but nothing on the plate was hot…steak and scallops were lukewarm and over salted…rice and vegetables were cold. Waitress was great but seemed to be managing too large of an area.
