This is one of my favourite places in Chicago to take out-of-towners to! Every serve we have gotten has not only been top-tier, but so friendly, funny, and welcoming.

Their chicken (3rd pic) was very delicious, but their seafood was not very fresh. Enjoyed their drinks and cotton candy. Love the environment and a lot of good photo places. Would visit again.

Located near Fulton market. Restaurant does offer valet parking which is great because you don’t have to waste time searching for a park.

First visit in the longest of time. Went for brunch, with kids, so totally missed the evening Carnivale vibe but loved the interior/decor. The food was really good, and plentiful! Planning to go back for dinner or the Drag Brunch!

Our waitress was amazing! The food and the decor blew our mind. I met the chef, he came out personally because I had an issue with the cilantro on my food, he not only fixed it, but they took my guy food back and prepared it over so he can have fresh food with me! Absolutely delicious and amazing! I celebrated my birthday here last night! I’m looking forward to coming back! Please please go!

My group of three arrived at this beautiful entryway of a restaurant! I love the colorful and lively, yet refreshing, painted floors and walls. Our reservations were for 30 minutes later, yet we were seated right away. We were met with our server quick enough for a Friday night. She checked on us just enough times. Not too much, and not too little. She was pleasant and made great suggestions, which can be helpful when you’re an indecisive person like myself.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The vibes are incredible, the food is AMAZING. My friends and I got the Gaucho steak and it was definitely worth the price. It was the best steak I’ve ever had. The octopus was also wonderful. 10/10 playlist and the decor is stunning! We celebrated my friend’s bachelorette and they provided a small treat, which was sweet. My friends also eat halal meat only, and it’s amazing that they provide that on their menu. I will definitely be back.

Always have a good time when I visit. We were there for the pajama brunch – so fun. Our server was charismatic and accommodating. Great atmosphere, perfect for date night, or just drunch. If you haven’t been you have to visit, also try to catch a show.
