Reviews
I really wanted to like this place, but the service was overall just terrible. As someone previously in the service industry, I always want to give the benefit of the doubt, but it was really not great. The hostess barely acknowledged us. We then were seated and our server just seemed she didn’t want to be bothered and didn’t come around too often. The real kicker was that we came for the Bears game around 3:30 to claim a spot and to grab a bite before. We were never notified of a 90 minute seating limit or that there were any reservations the entire night. At 6:30 (30 mins before the game), a different hostess comes up to us saying there is a 90 minute limit and that there’s a reservation at this table at 7. If we had known this, we would have sat at the bar from the beginning. The only option we were given was to either leave or stand behind the bar which was already packed. We ended up just leaving and going to Peggy’s across the street.
The food is very good. The sweet potato fries were great and the drinks were great, but unfortunately I think the service would have me not come back.
Food here was great, I got a burger. The bartender was really friendly, observant, and on-top of his game. The inside is very clean, very inviting, and a relaxing place to chill. I did some work here for a couple of hours and loved it.
Came back in the summer with friends and got their cocktail pouches. It was perfect for what we needed on that summer day. It was a bit more packed so our server took a bit longer to get to us, but she was always respectful and we were understanding. The outdoor section was very nice!
A cozy spot that felt just right.
The nachos came, a golden mound,
Each chip a crunch, each bite profound.
The cheese was perfect, gooey bliss,
A plate of joy I won’t dismiss.
Jalapeños gave a fiery spark,
A snack that truly hit the mark.
The beers were cold, the music loud,
A lively, friendly, happy crowd.
The staff all smiled, the vibe was great,
The kind of place I’d celebrate.
And when I’d eaten past my fill,
I laughed about my lack of will.
I’ll need a workout at this rate,
Might break a sweat with my old shake weight.
We came last Sunday around 6:30 p.m., and the bar was not busy. Our server was neither friendly nor attentive. She stopped by once to ask if we wanted drinks but never brought water or asked if we wanted any. When she brought our drinks, she rushed us to place our food order, and after that, we hardly saw her again. She never checked in to see how our meal was and only returned to drop off the check.
Overall, it just wasn’t a great experience, yet again. I’m not sure if we’ve been unlucky, but the service continues to miss the mark. The food is mediocre as well. There are definitely better options in downtown—though they aren’t bars—so it’s disappointing that the experience here doesn’t improve
