   A nice place to go for a local foods menu. The ambiance was great and the noise level was low so that we could converse without raising our voices. Food was very tasty and well presented. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was absolutely delicious and easily split between the four of us.

   Food was not memorable. Halibut was totally dried out.

   So my husband is savoring a Hendrick's Gin Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives while I sip a very bubbly glass of Korbel Brut when in walks our newest Governor Prtizker! The meal was excellent - his filet and mine liver then we splurged on an exceedingly rich lemon cheesecake.

   Waiter friendly, but slow to check on the fact that I had completed my drink ( soda) and could have used a refill. Restaurant was not busy. He should have checked on our needs long before my drink was empty.

   the menu is great, pricing a bit high for lunch but the food is good. the issue is the service .our waitress was good, she was working so many tables we never saw her. Food took forever to arrive, when you are eating out for lunch time is important, we got there at noon ordered at 12:30 and didn't leave until 2 pm, and we had 3 people leave early because they had to get back to work. I enjoy a leisurely meal in the evening, and we enjoy this restaurant in the evening.... Lunch is another story. I felt bad because I was the one to recommend this location for lunch and 3 of our people had to leave before lunch was over due to the slow service. Please make an attempt to address this, it's hurting your brand at lunch time.

   I really liked this joint. We specifically were looking to eat in one of those classic 'local institution' type of places. This one fits that bill. The restaurant is full of old wood, old school charm and old fashioned (not Victorian, just old fashioned) service and ambiance. We arrived 15 minutes early. The hostess explained that they were very precise about their timing and that our table was not ready. If we waited in the bar she'd summon us. I've heard that excuse before! Ooops, not here. At exactly 1830 she appeared and said our table was ready, and, it was. Our waiter was hoot. We arrived during the equivalent of the silver hair 'early bird special' segment. It turns out that there was a concert and at 1915 they all got up and left for their curtain. Alas, peace, at last. We enjoyed a great meal in a moderately conversation challenged room. My wife had the stuffed quail. It was excellent. The quail was moist and came with an outstanding sauce on top of greens and mashed. I had the black bass sp0ecial on top of arugula and a spicy tomato sauce. This was a bit of a disappointment as the sauce (pretty spicy) overpowered the delicate black bass. The wedge salad started I ordered was great. My wife's starter was the French onion soup which she said was outstanding. I would recommend this place without reservation for a balanced and complete 'overall' experience' of atmosphere, history, food and service.

   Had another great dinner on a very busy Friday evening. Despite the crowd our service was great and the meal was delicious. The rack of lamb I ordered was perfectly prepared and tender, and my wife’s penne was a taste treat. Our go to restaurant in Springfield.

    Server was excellent. Noise level was excessive. Value was typical for "fine dining". I like bar food better.
