Awesome drinks

Unreal!!!! This place is severely underrated. The food presentation is off the charts, the decor is warm, the wait staff is friendly and confident, and the bartenders can make literally any drink. It is rare for me to have such glowing reviews of a place-- but, when it's good, it's good! The chef clearly pays attention to detail. We ordered the duck pate, and beat risotto to start things off. The duck pate was so inspiring and the risotto was complex but accessible to anyone with a sensitive pallet. The next dish was the gnocchi and wagyu beef burger. For the gnocchi, the basil was sweet with an even citrus taste of tomato, amazing texture to boot. The wagyu beef burger was prepared with excellence and made its way deep into my belly with the beer jam leaving a hint of sweetness at the end. We had some sort of bread pudding for dessert that was complimented with vanilla ice cream and caramel; dear lord it was unbelievable. This has to be one of the best dinning experiences I've had since living in Chicago. I will recommend this to everyone I know!

Came here for a very pleasing lunch. Sat outdoors, enjoyed chilaquiles, crab cake benedict and their way burger very much. Buttermilk pancakes weren't anything to write home about.

Good atmosphere with outdoor seating. The menu is fairly small but extremely tasty. The Duck Patte and Quinoa fries were very good. They have a great wine selection with a very knowledgable staff.
