Dropped by before a show and they did a good job considering our time constraint. I loved checking out the caricatures on the walls!

When I worked in the Daley Center I dined here for lunch often. I had lunch there recently and was pleased to see that this is still an OUTSTANDING restaurant! The prices are a bit higher, and they've left the Lettuce Restaurant Group, but the food remains outstanding and the service second to none.

Not many options for vegetarians, but everything we got was great. Tomato Bisque was particularly delicious! Vibes at old time pub. Service was friendly and timely.

I was worried after seeing several people state the quality had gone down since the pandemic. Other than the change from beautiful menus to simple paper ones, I didn't notice any decline in quality. We made reservations for 5p on a Thursday before a show. The bar area was packed with happy hour customers. We were seated immediately in the main dining area. The ambiance is the same it was pre pandemic. Very old school Chicago vibe and packed with people. Noise was a little loud, just from so many people, but no loud music, and I could mostly hear my friend without shouting. Our server, Jan, came up quite quickly, apologized for interrupting and said he could take drinks but understood if we were still getting settled. His demeanor was the perfect blend of welcoming and professional. He complimented our drink choices and seemed genuinely happy which increased our enjoyment of the evening. The bread came quickly. It had a lovely chew while still being quite moist and tender. Almost the consistency of cornbread although I don't think it was actually made from corn. Our meals came quickly too, and everything was done nicely. My friend had a fish special and practically licked her plate clean while I had the full Caesar with salmon. The salmon was a little on the smaller size which was perfect for me although perhaps a little more well done than I'd like but still quite good. The Caesar was fresh with a nice dressing. I would have preferred slightly less dressing but the flavor was good so it was fine but if you prefer lighter dressing, consider saying that or getting it on the side. The star of the night was the dessert. The fresh citrus tasted like the best of spring, while the silken texture gliding over my tongue was comforting in a joyful way. Both my friend and I stopped talking entirely to luxuriate in the bliss of slowly enjoying the lemon dessert. I loved the pairing of fresh strawberries with it and my friend loved the fresh mint. Perfect evening. If you want excellent service, ask for Jan.

Amazing food with quick and friendly service since we had a show after! We got the seafood pasta and fettuccine Alfredo which were both big portioned and delicious. Great spot to round out theatre night!
