No sense restaurant and meals Food was too old and spoiled

Who puts adds a 4% charge to the bill! They already charge plenty!

Was so grateful to the sweet hostesses who squeezed us in with our 2 y/o before the dinner rush on MDW weekend! We live in the area but had never visited and everything was truly exquisite - the portions, the presentation, the flavors, and the team. Easily the best tasting meal I’ve had this year. So looking forward to going back again!

I had the short rib pappardelle and it was amazing. Great food and nice atmosphere.

Food was quite good (farmers salad and bolognese were great) and the host, waiters, and support staff were all attentive and kind. This could be a 5-star local favorite, but there are parts of the atmosphere that we think could use some improvement.
The lighting throughout 80% of the restaurant is a fantastic warm lighting from well-thought-out Edison bulb fixtures. However, if you are seated at any of the 4-5 tables at the back by the kitchen, not only are the tables a little bit too close together (I’m guessing just under 12” between tables), but you are also unfortunately enveloped by the bright white lights from the kitchen. Same goes for the very front of the restaurant. There is a very bright spotlight in the front of the building that affects about 3 of the tables against the front windows. We went at night, so perhaps this is not an issue for early reservations or lunch, but it was quite noticeable. Interestingly, the table next to us (we were sitting at the front) actually asked to be moved about 5 minutes after sitting down. It is worth noting that if you come to sit at the bar or with a party of 4, you may never encounter this issue because the atmosphere in the very center of the restaurant is excellent with all warm lighting at a long bar flanked by 4-seater tables.
Regardless of your party size, this next item might still affect you, and that is the music selection. We felt it was a bit loud and incongruous with the warm farm to table restaurant vibe you are greeted with. In fact, the song we walked into was “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction absolutely blasting out of the speakers. This could easily have been remedied by choosing a playlist with little to no top hits or generally softer, less interruptive music.
Overall, we enjoyed ourselves but there were a couple moments where we were on the verge of politely leaving and saving the money for another night. I strongly believe the atmosphere can make or break a night out. With relatively small and inexpensive (or free) improvements this place could truly be a local gem.

Seven of us went for dinner and everyone loved their meals. Unfortunately, our reservation was for ten, but only seven showed. The restaurant was very understanding even though it was embarrassing on our group's behalf. The only complaint that I have is that when I confirmed the reservation, I asked if we could do separate checks and the woman said absolutely no problem. However, the waitress seemed really put out and had a bit of an attitude when I asked before we placed our orders. I have been a waitress before and I don't understand why some find this to be an obnoxious request. It's really not that hard to do; if requested before orders are placed. Otherwise, everything else was perfect and all of us said that we'd definitely go back. They have a beautiful outdoor patio as well.
Parking: There is a free municipal parking lot behind the restaurant.
Small local restaurant with really good food. Cute lighting and table setup is friendly with your neighbor style. Just be prepared to wait a few minutes before being seated. The food was pretty good.

Food is very good but the dining experience is not. QR code menus, loud classic rock music, and servers that lack any kind of polish. The owners should understand the difference between eating and a pleasurable dining experience. Take out is a better option.

The food was absolutely amazing. At first I was surprised on how busy it was for a Tuesday night, but after the dinner it was clear for me :-)
