We loved this place and everyone was so nice! We haven’t tried their food but their drinks were amazing. I didn’t catch his name but our bartender who had only been working there a month he said was awesome! After a few drinks I was definitely feeling it a little bit and he very sweetly gave me some of his mints as they do help with the nausea sometimes. We will definitely be back!

Grabbed dinner here while in town visiting my daughter. Service was good by one of the bartenders. The food runner delivered our food to the table next to us. Once he realized the mistake, he collected the 3 plates and gave them to us. When I asked him about that he got an attitude with me and said “they didn’t touch it.” We did eat the food and when we told the waiter later when he checked on us, he apologized. He and the manager offered to remake the food (we declined) and the manager offered us a free dessert. The food was just average in my opinion. Left fairly disappointed in our experience.

Food was good. I had a Jane Burger which was $13 and added cheese for $1 and an avocado which was $3. Any toppings are extra. My wife ordered tbe chicken avocado and she said it was great. Also ordered the Poutine Fries as an appetizer but we didn’t get them until we recieved our dinner. Either tbe waitress forgot them or the kitchen was backed up like she said. The only problem with that was it wasn’t that busy when we went there. Atmosphere was excellent although we wanted to sit outside but the weather went from 81 degrees to 62 degrees by the time we got there.

I recently visited this restaurant for an after-Christmas get-together with a group of four. We ordered the Jane burger with chips, the STK sandwich with fries, the G.O.A.T with chips and the Sofia Lauren with fries.
I enjoyed the flavor of my STK sandwich, but I felt it was quite small for the price. The fries were just average—nothing particularly memorable. The chips were a unique experience, as they came with a hint of sugar. While it’s not something I would order again, two people in our group enjoyed them, so it might appeal to some.
The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself has a great vibe with plenty of space, which is perfect if you prefer a more open, uncrowded dining environment. There’s also an upstairs area, though we didn’t check it out.
Overall, I’d consider returning to this restaurant but trying a different menu item such as burgers which seem to be good according to the others in my group. It would also be a great place for a date or a ladies night out.

I had amazing cocktails at the Lombard location, so I came here with high expectations — but the cocktails at the Naperville spot were honestly just okay, which was a bit disappointing. The food was still great though, and the vibe was lovely with the open rooftop seating and occasional DJ playing music. It’s a fun place to hang out, but to be honest, I still prefer the Oakbrook location. Not sure if I’d come back here.

The place has a wonderful vibe to it. The music and the ambience match. We sat in the open on a bright sunny evening. Service was fast and courteous. Drinks were great and I really enjoyed my chicken sandwich (photo). The others who had gone for some vegan sandwiches didn’t like it and found that to be bland. I am taking one star just because the vegan sandwich and the steel bowls in which the chips were served were not shiny clean. They seemed coated with dirt over time.

Food and atmosphere were perfect! I inhaled my burgers, they were delicious. The service was a bit off in the very beginning. We were served by a lady who had the weirdest attitude and seemed pissed off from everyone and everything. We didn’t like her vibe at all. But her shift ended after she served our appetizers and someone else came in and she was awesome!

Second time here! Love the rooftop area. We were celebrating a birthday and called ahead of time to ask if we could bring a cake in. They said of course. They kept it cool for us and even brought it out with candles on it. Food was soooooooo good! Emma was our waitress and she was fabulous!! Tonya was the hostess and she was sooooo helpful! We really appreciate them going above and beyond for us!!! 5 HUGE stars!!!
