We did finally get drinks and shortly after we're told a table was available. It took quite a while before our waitress showed up. Since we already had drinks she was ready to walk away but we wanted to order a pretzel. She took the order, pretzel arrived more than 15 mins later, but it was delicious. It was good we had something to munch on cause our dinner, 2 burgers and a flatbread, arrived 45 mins later. The burgers were wrong, she said she had 2 Cali burgers. My husband ordered a cheeseburger, I did order the Cali. I took one, they sent the other back for correction. Once I went to eat mine I realized it was not a Cali burger. That had to be returned also. Both burgers were ordered medium rare, they were cooked well done. My friend did enjoy her flatbread. The manager did come by with a half hearted apology. She offered free dessert, we're not dessert eaters so did not accept the offer. Looking back, we should gave taken dessert to go. I wouldn't go back. I felt not one employee offered good service.

It's right off the lobby but behind closed doors so you may be able to forget it's a hotel bar. They serve food too. When we took a comfortable seat at the bar we realized it was way too brightly lit, but our cheerful hostess Tammy was happy to kill the overhead lighting over the bar and it was instantly transformed into a romantic spot. She was great, friendly and kept the conversation at the perfect level. The pandora music mix was excellent! Drink prices were reasonable. There doesn't seem to be too many bars in this neck of the woods, so we were glad to find this one!

I stopped in Bar Franco for drink before dinner nearby. It was literally just when they opened but…read moreeverything was ready to go and Alex the bartender seemed to already have some creative ideas in mind! He asked what I like. I told him the spirits and style(s) I prefer. Then I simply said "surprise me". His creation was a take on the Paper Plane, a bit less tart and perfect for a broiling hot day outside. Two other dinners guests joined me soon after and had equally impressive drinks. In fact, the entire dinner party returned at the end of the night so everyone could have their own experience! The space is small, but the atmosphere is very intentional and there is a great, low seating area in the front window that can fit several people comfortably. That's where we sat later as a group. If you've been meaning to try this place too, make it a priority next time you are downtown! Note: Bar Franco also has a food menu connected to the restaurant next door.

Extras: - All alcohol is made at the distillery. - Distillery tours are available by appointment. - SCD has some hilarious Tee Shirts for sale. - 2 Restrooms on the premises. - Adjoining Ghost Hawk Brewery shares a small parking lot with SCD. Street parking is available too.

Service was quick and attentive, and we did not feel rushed and were able to enjoy a pleasant time chatting. Drinks: the black walnut Manhattan, Fig jam old fashioned, wine , beer and port. Drinks were all excellent, i tasted the Manhattan and enjoyed it over the Fig Jam. For apps: Clams oreganato (the couple with us enjoyed this), flat bread (was much more like pizza than flat bread, but still tasty, per my husband), and on the special New England Clam Chowder which was very good, not too thick and decent and fresh clams in it. Entrees: Shrimp Risotto scampi, very flavorful Risotto cooked perfectly. Two of us ordered the Cajun Mahi Mahi, over spinach with mashed, and 2 shrimp. the Cajun sauce was tasty with the perfect amount of heat, shrimp and mahi-mahi fresh and cooked perfectly. Rigatoni Bolognese which my husband enjoyed and said it was almost as good as my Italian mother's (like a good son-in-law) lol Dessert: Crème Brûlée - Brûlée was perfect, the crème was a little too thick for me. I ate it and enjoyed it, but not the best I've had. My husband ordered the key Lime Pie happy that it did not include nuts in the crust as some do, he thought it was good. Overall we had an enjoyable albeit pricy meal with good service. I would come back if other's wanted to go but it would not be my go to place.

Rather than sitting in the bar area, we asked to be seated in the dining area. There were a few typical bar items on the menu - burgers, fries, and chicken wings. And then there was a serious side, which is what we ordered from. The beet salad and agnolotti were wonderful. My strip steak was excellent. The wine, a Daou cab, was exceptional for the $45 price point. The selections were all reasonably priced. Looking forward to the WC party and many more trips, despite living 40 minutes away.

We ordered a few things. Spicy Tuna Tartare: wasn't spicy, didn't taste fresh which wasn't a deterrent to me as this isn't a seafood restaurant or fine dining. Next time I'd pass on that. Bavarian Pretzel: amazing. Very tasty. Came out nice and hot. That rarebit cheese sauce? Oh honey that can come home with me anytime. Absolutely delicious. And this is coming from someone who hates that fake cheese, cheese whiz type taste. Margherita Pizza: didn't come out hot which is probably why I wasn't a fan of it. It was pretty mediocre for such a basic pizza. And the food didn't come out all together, so not sure why that didn't come out hot. Wings and waffles: Tasty buffalo wings. The waffles actually taste like funnel cake which was a nice surprise. THEN. The burger came out and that is why this review dropped. It had a small hair on the side of the plate and a closer look at the rest of the plate, you'll see a long hair on the pickle. That was disappointing but happy to have tried the place nonetheless.

My absolute must-order every time is the short rib grilled cheese sandwich--it's genuinely the best thing on the menu. Perfectly rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it's the kind of dish you end up craving long after you leave. It's also a great place for date night or hanging out with friends. Some nights they even have live music, which really adds to the vibe and makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Between the food, drinks, and atmosphere, Steel Wheel always delivers!

This is a nice place for people golfing or anyone wanting to sit outside and enjoy the scenery (much like sunset pub in Lincoln Park), but it is pricey bar food. The nachos had all ingredients that were definitely store bought and everything else is simplistic on the menu. The buffalo chicken wrap was fine, nothing special or outstanding. The servers were all very sweet. The drinks from the bar are very Instagram worthy and I have to say the sweet tea was delicious. They have bands and trivia night so this definitely would be a nice bar to go to for a night out but wouldn't return solely for the food.
