Went twice on this trip early on a chilly evening and after 9pm midweek. Both times I sat @ the bar, not wishing to wait for 40+ minutes. It's a fun, loud atmosphere no matter what the time it seems. Lots of craft beers and by the glass wines, many of which were exotic/unusual so fun to try with their... More

This was a very unique restaurant. I would never try pig ears, but I did when the bartender recommended the crispy pig ears and kale with a fried egg on top. It was Great! There are many craft beers to have at a reasonable price and the other appetizers that we had were just divine. I would recommend this place... More

Small plates with a continental flair. Great wine list. A great server and fun atmosphere. How can you beat it? Went with a professional chef as part of the party. Much to his disgust, and our delight, we made him do the ordering. Notable were the ramps, sweetbreads, raw asparagus salad, and lardo. Must get back for more, especially the... More

Everything we had was delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back.

We had a short wait for a table on a Monday night...just enough time for one drink. It was busy and buzzy. The service was good and helpful, and the small plates we shared were tasty, fresh and interesting. Inside were long shared tables, but we sat on the covered patio at a smaller table. It was noisy and tables... More

Second time for me. Was here two years ago and came back because I remembered the food. I was very happy to find that the food was still as good! Awesome in fact. yes, it was cramped in there, and noisy, but the food was AMAZING. The charred cauliflower and the JLT (pork jowl) was scrumptious! Service was great too,... More

My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening. We were given a 2.5 hour wait time and ended up waiting the entire 2.5 hours. After the wait, we were placed at an empty table that could fit around 10 people. A few minutes later, another couple was placed directly next to us, even though the rest of... More

Loved the food and atmosphere, stopped in for a quick bite from being shopping all day. The chef was in the kitchen that overlooks the dining space. He took the time to talk us and tell us a little bit about the concept.

I guess my review is going to fly in the face of the majority who rank this as #1 in Chicago. When I went there I found the place to be cramped and tiny. There were couples sitting outside visibly shivering from the cruel Chicago wind. The tables were so close together it was hard to see how this might... More
