   Will definitely not be coming back here! Had a reservation for 715, we got seated outside as I preferred and nobody came around for at least 10 minutes. I asked the hostess to move us inside and then proceeded to ask the question of whether or not we get served here. She said “you do, that’s my fault I never told your server.” So we move inside, she tells our server we’re there, and another 10-15 minutes roll around and nobody has come to our table. Mind you the inside was completely dead, we were the only table. A server that wasn’t doing anything and wasn’t ours apparently, came over to ask if we’d been served yet and brought us over water. We explained the situation and she said she’d get our server. Server never came for a third time, so we just moved to the bar. We ordered our food, an app and two entrees. One of the entrees comes first and then 10-15 minutes go by and our app and other entree are still not there. The bartender went to get it and we can finally enjoy everything, about an hour after our initial reservation time. We start eating and find a piece of some type of wrapper in our food. The bartender told us the manager would come over and explain to us and hear us out for how the night had been going, he never came to speak to us. Someone else just came to tell us our meal was going to be free, which rightfully so at that point. After speaking more with the bartender he was trying to convince us to write a good review since they made up for the mistakes. At this rate we’re already upset and you’re asking for a good review? Absolutely not, the gesture was nice but not an excuse for the way we were treated in the first place. Will never be returning to this place!

   The atmosphere was very fun. The staff were great and very friendly. The food was ok, over priced and not worth it. The drinks were great.

   Our server was sweet. It was her first day. I’m not sure if I would go back.

   Went there since we were going to see the Second City troupe and wanted someplace nearby for dinner beforehand. It is certainly close to Second City. Burger - salad - munchies. Nothing special, but worthwhile if you’re going to second city next.

    Fried pickles were great! I don't recommend the animal fries. The nachos were good but I wouldn't get it again. We had to go find a waitress to take our order after we were there for at least 30 minutes so that sucked. Had to get the waitress again for the check. Drinks were good.
