   We went here for brunch for a big party and everything was set up nice. The food was great. It was very classy. The service was slow. It took a long time to serve the food... Again, this was brunch food.

   We were very unhappy with the service. I am not sure the server spoke English and the quality of the food was not good. I ordered the pork chop and I asked for it to be medium rare. It came well. My husband ordered the pot pie and a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was ice cold. We told the waitress and they took it back and stuck it in the microwave. I will not go back! Every time we said something to the server, she looked at us like she did not understand what we were saying, and I don't think she did

   The food was good but unfortunately the service was not. There were multiple items forgotten through out our meal. I ordered a chicken caesar salad for dinner and specified that I was gluten free, I received a caesar salad with no chicken and croutons on top. Croutons are no biggie, I should have been more specific, just picked them off, but the main part of my dinner was missing. It was of course corrected after I waited another 5-10mins, but annoying to say the least. My dad ordered the new york strip, rare, with a glass of wine. The steak was served medium rare at best and he had to ask again for his wine. There was also a side a fries forgotten, which were supposed to be seasoned fries, and once we finally received them they were just regular fries, we didn't even ask for that to be corrected because at this point we just wanted to finishing eating, because he had some where to be. I will say the best thing about our visit was the sweet and sour cabbage soup, that was delicious and served promptly with no problems.

   We went after theater so didn't want a huge meal that late. We were happy to see so many small plate or sharable options. And the waitress was fun. All in all a very pleasant experience.

   Thanks! Had a reservation for the max, but was able to alter it as we were having a surprise brunch bday! Everything was perfect. The space, the staff, (even accommodating by splitting the bill up for us!) I will be back plenty! Brunch time is the best time!

   Four of us went there for dinner Saturday evening after an afternoon play. Have not been there in many years and several favorite items were missing from the very shortened menu. I would had liked more choices since I somewhat reluctantly ordered the shepherd pie which I found rather soupy and somewhat spicey. Value was reasonable but service was the best. Our waiter was Wilson who was a totally efficient server and a very likable, personable guy.

    We were there for an early dinner following an afternoon show at Second City. The food was great, the restaurant is casual, but nice. The only complaint was the service was much too fast, it was 6:00pm on Saturday night, there were only about five tables full, but, our waitress must have come to our table five times in the first ten minutes we were there. We weren't in any hurry, we told her we weren't ready to order, but there she was. Much better than waiting forever, but, we were done eating and paid within about 35 minutes of getting there. We would have had a second drink, but not enough time...
