The food was very delicious. Everything tasted so good, I have never had anything like their chicken. Everything we got tasted great. Our waiter was amazing, we even got a little history about their menu and how it has evolved over the years. Good waiter+ good food=evening made!!

We stayed at the Thompson Hotel. Went down for breakfast around 9am on Saturday and was told that there was 20 minutes wait. I pointed out all the empty tables and even tried to sit at the bar but apparently they are very short staffed. It was exactly 20 minutes wait time. We knew exactly what we were going to order because we looked at the menu during the wait so as soon as the server came, we ordered. It was a little over 30 minutes for the food to come out. We ordered Yellow tomato conchiglie, braised short rib, pan seared scallop, angel hair & meatballs and steak & eggs! My favorite was the yellow tomato conchiglie, we added extra shrimp. The braised short rib was good and fatty. Everything else was not bad, just basic.

Creative drink menu, thoughtfully crafted with something for everyone. Every bite of food was perfectly balanced, from a burrata appetizer to the entrees (gyro seasoned salmon and the classiest smash burger ever) to the black forest for dessert, which literally exploded with flavors. And phenomenal service at every stage of our meal. Perfect for a celebration or just a carefree evening with a friend.

Great food! We ordered an appetizer, second course, and dessert. I highly recommend the mushroom ragu and the chocolate/lemon cake dessert. Both were incredible. Overall, the restaurant was not very busy, which made for a bit of a strange atmosphere, but led to great service.

Great first dinner in Chicago!! Beautiful setting & excellent service. Our waiter was very kind and helpful with answering questions. Our favorite dish was by far the Brussel Sprout Bruschetta-- SO good! We also enjoyed the Rigatoni Lamb Bolognese, the Carrot contorni dish, the Duck, and the yogurt honey Gelato. All in all a wonderful meal, we highly recommend!

The menu is quite small and that usually mean the food is really good. That was the case here. The coffee has a great flavor as well.

Had Brunch here today. Service is great, food is delicious too! Highly recommend the meatball pasta and the pastries. Excellent experience overall.

Under appreciated and great restaurant, we had the brussel sprout bruschetta and it was fantastic. Both meals were delicious. The service is great. What a wonderful location to people watch.
