This is one of the gems of Lincoln Square . Definitely try to dine on the patio . Best service and just a very happy staff . The scallops were like butter. Can't wait to go again.

Brussel Sprouts cannot be overlooked! The Mussels were the best I have ever had! Everything here is high quality and reasonably priced. I will go here time and again

Bill

The meat and cheese board were great, and the burger was delicious. The back patio was cozy and the service was prompt and helpful. I'll definitely be going back, and maybe sit next to the kitchen!

Cole Kennedy

Totally freaking incredible. Do whatever you can to sit at the chef’s counter and order through the whole menu. Highlights include the fried enoki mushrooms , Brussels sprouts , and the raviolo .

Bitches Who Brunch

Celebrate spring with their brioche french toast or their brunch salad which is finished with a poached egg . Why not try a new brunch beverage, like a breakfast stout or a Sunday session ale ? Read more

Mary Phillips

Interesting menu with plates to share so you can try multiple dishes. Try the gnocchi and the harvest apple salad , mmm. The cocktails are tasty esp The Count and Basil Smash. Great staff !

Sharlene Wright

Innovative menu and amazing staff . Recommend the ricotta and green bean appetizer . Had a spectacular tofu special with peaches and spices that MUST stay on the menu (although it was a small portion)

Lauren O'Connor

Had the family style dinner . They give you portions for everyone at your table. $26/person. Included your pick of 2 starters, a main and a desert . Tasty. Heated outdoor seating w/ good ambiance

Lauren Farbstein

The food is incredible there's nothing disappointing about this place. Sticky Buns are incredible. Best burger and beef tartar in town . The chefs are also so friendly ! Definitely a fav!

The kitchen brings an artist 's eye to preparations such as hamachi crudo with citrus segments and horizontal smears of citrus sauce, and crispy artichokes alongside a lazy river of artichoke puree. Read more

Obsessed! Best meal in a long time. Brussel sprouts , steak tartare , raviolo , sirloin , and apple fritters all amazing. Try to sit at bar seating overlooking kitchen.

Chicago Tribune

The 40-seat covered patio behind this Lincoln Square newcomer is pretty and serene, abetted by privacy fencing and young trees , equipped with heaters for chilly nights and fans for sultry ones. Read more

This place is lovely. Delicious food and excellent service. Trust your server's recommendations, and you won't be disappointed.

Greg Gulik

One of the best restaurants in Chicago right now. What they do with vegetables is magical.

Bobby Kennedy

They only allow reservations on half the tables, making it easier to just drop-in. Brussel sprouts and scallops are the favorites so far.

Olivia

Great brunch ! Food was delicious! Just a little too loud .

Not only was the food delicious, but the service was outstanding as well ! I believe our server was Jamie, she rocks!

Swanky club vibes inside but a nice patio, too (just watch out for rain drops). Wise selections include cauliflower, beets, lamb, Burrata pizza, & carbonara. Rosemary Gimlet might be the best cocktail - J.R. Reed
