This place was great! It has an awesome location. Right on Michigan avenue. It’s the restaurant to the Hotel Julian. Our bartender Yoli was wonderful . We really enjoyed our time. Will definitely come back. We only had drinks but they also served food. they also have charge outlets at the bar!

Make the stop and see Yolanda at the bar. Not only will see you serve you an amazing drink, but she can tell you the history of it. Yolanda will add value to your experience in your dining.

I tasted the Acai bowl and the Salmon Benedict. Both were life changing flavor’s. Great ambience, and classy service. I will be back! My only complaint is no reference to my wifes favorite 80’s movie. But “Yeah, I understand!”

Pretty decent as a bar with a good selection of drinks, but can’t vouch for food. I must have visited this place three times, mostly to escape the heat and to meet with friends who used my hotel as a starting point for the day.

Breakfast menu calls out 3 eggs but they only serve two. When asked the waitress explained that the chef changed the meal but hasn’t updated the menu.

Stopped in for happy hour. Our waitress was very nice. Had a glass of prosecco, sliders, olives, grilled cheese. Everything was tasty and it’s a cool space, love the brick painting and looking out onto Michigan Ave. Will return.

The food here is really good (I had the beef wellington and mashed potatoes) and the cocktails are really good too. I liked the Model Diet (a combo of vodka, blueberry-infused St. Germaine and lemon juice) the most, but the wine lost is decent too.

I never leave a review no matter how bad the restaurant was, however my experience here was the worst ever. Went here for Valentine with my husband, the service was terrible. They poured us a drink and mine has some brown stick in it which i had to send back. The manager sent it back and was hesitant to pour me a new drink. They already had a set menu for valentine and the options weren’t nice. They were slow in bringing out the plates for each course. The meals weren’t any better, just fair and unimpressive. We had Beef Wellington & Blackened Salmon and neither of them came with any sides. Overall I would rate the food 2 out of 5. Finally for the bill, they snuck in a $32 service fee which was never mentioned prior to visiting the restaurant.

Food was okay. They add random surchages, and their explanation doesn’t match what we actually ordered. They promised to refund the surchages and then never followed up. They are deceitful and do not honor their word. We won’t be going back.
