The main dishes are always cooked perfectly, which I really appreciate. But I&#39;ve noticed the sides can be a bit hit or miss. The Greek potatoes sometimes lack that fresh herb flavor, and the rice pilaf&#39;s texture varies. Focusing on the protein quality keeps me coming back though.

Sat at the bar. The bartender was really welcoming, knew his stuff. He suggested the escargot&mdash;first time trying it. It was buttery, well-seasoned, not what I expected. A nice surprise.

Server was super friendly and kept our drinks topped up. Loved that they brought extra napkins and wet wipes for the ribs without us even asking! That little touch made a messy meal way more relaxed.

The spinach artichoke dip was solid, and that chocolate martini hit the spot. Good vibes with the live music.

Summer and Maddie were great servers. They were super attentive, checked in just the right amount, and really made the dinner feel relaxed. Service like that makes a big difference.

Been coming here for years, and their gluten-free menu is the reason. It&rsquo;s consistent. Jenilee always remembers us, makes it easy. The drinks are solid, but honestly, I&rsquo;m just here for a reliable meal I don&rsquo;t have to worry about.

Ariel was our bartender again last night. She remembered my husband likes his old fashioned extra cold. Her suggestion for the truffle fries was spot on. Really makes a difference when the service is that attentive.

Jud was so helpful planning our event. The ingredients in every dish tasted incredibly fresh, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

Our server was really on top of things. She suggested the grilled octopus and it was spot on&mdash;tender, not chewy at all. The wine pairing she recommended was a perfect match. Service like that makes a difference.

The cheese curds were a hit with our table. The bread pudding was a nice finish. The space is open and bright, which I liked. It didn&rsquo;t feel cramped even though it was pretty busy.

Great for a big group dinner. The menu&#39;s got enough variety to please everyone.

Been coming here for years, mostly for the wings. They&rsquo;re always crispy, never soggy, and the sauce is just right. That consistency is why I keep coming back. Parking&rsquo;s free but the lot gets tight.

Skirt steak&#39;s glaze was a bit heavy, but the meat itself was cooked just right. I&#39;d get it again, just ask for less sauce.

The chicken schnitzel was massive, honestly huge. I was surprised by the portion size. Jenny, our server, was really attentive and checked on us a few times.

Emily was so nice during the beer tasting! She explained everything and just made it a really fun, relaxed time. The wines and local beers are super affordable too. A nice spot to try something new.

The pizza crust was perfectly thin and crispy. I really appreciated the generous amount of fresh, high-quality toppings. You can tell they use good ingredients here.

The black bean burger is a solid veggie option. Really appreciate the fresh ingredients they use.

Love this neighborhood spot! The owners are super friendly, and the vibe is so welcoming. Came on a Latin night and the energy was just right for unwinding after a long day.

Kennedy was a great server, very attentive. The wine list had some nice options to pair with the meal.

If you are traveling through Chicago with Polaris access, this lounge is worth spending 15 mins or 5 hours. Excellent, fresh buffet options, full and well-staffed bar, and ample comfortable seating. Showers and business rooms are also available. For those who prefer, there is a dining room with table service and a few cooked-to-order menu options. (Didn&rsquo;t try as we were very happy with the breakfast buffet, and then again with the lunch buffet!)

I absolutely loved the buffalo chicken waffle fries! They were perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of spice. The dining space was spacious and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy our meal without feeling overwhelmed.

Steak sandwich had real steak throughout, which was a nice surprise. Bartender was welcoming and gave good suggestions.

Stopped in for a sangria and a dessert. The sangria was really nice, and Genaro was so friendly. He made sure we were comfortable and checked on us just the right amount. A very relaxing way to end the evening.
