Came here for my birthday with my family (who can be tough critics) and everything was outstanding! Jon was the best server, so attentive and helpful and the food was so amazing. Everyone is already ready to come back! Had the best birthday, thank you.

I really enjoyed my experience. I was there for Chicago restaurant week and got mussels (appetizer), 1lb of Alaskan crab legs (entree), and a key lime pie (dessert) for $45. Drinks are about $10-13, decently strong. Servers are really nice, you can tell that there are people who work here out of passion for the place. There's a lot of good history to the place and it feels like somewhere that can stand the test of time.

Overall good but for as expensive king crab is and it’s in their name, it’s shouldn’t come out with the shells soft and mushy.
