    View of the river at night from inside studio 1212
    Lea L.

    From the grilled Brussels sprouts starter to the pasta primavera, salmon with dill and caper sauce mains and the apple crumble dessert - everything was superb. Lovely view of the river. Charming and helpful wait staff. Also appreciated the staff wine choice and local brewery selections. Little out of the way. Another 'yelper' tip about the location looking a bit like a warehouse from the street side is good - but don't be put off. This is an excellent and good value dining choice.

    Great selection of cocktails and wine. The food was wonderful. Ahi tuna and a smores pizza to share for dessert. This is a smaller venue, so I made a reservation to ensure my girlfriends and I had a table.

    Eh, not my vibe. Tried this place on a cool Saturday evening. We did not have a reservation so we had to sit at the bar. No problem. First thing I didn't like- the lack of lighting in the parking lot. It is DARK back there. Secondly - I don't always bring my cell phone with me and I hate having them at dinner. Dinner is a time to talk, not sit on your phone. As we sat down at the bar, there was a QR code which had to be scanned to see the menu. Had I not brought my phone, then what? Order a water and leave? Thirdly - I ordered a drink and it arrived with a paper straw. Gross. I don't enjoy tasting paper with every sip. We had beer cheese soup and Brussels sprouts. Both lacked seasoning and flavor. Food came out hot, everyone was very nice and the place was nice and warm on a chilly night but we will be dining elsewhere.

    My friend and I stopped at Studio 1212 and loved the spot. It feels like a relatively new place, and pretty similar to the Bottle Room. The location can't be beat, right on the water with great views. The servers were very nice, we had two servers for awhile until they realized they ere both assigned to our table- which lead to good service! They said when we got there it was busy and food would be slow. They were right- it was! We appreciated the warning though. We shared the shrimp tacos and Brussels sprouts. The shrimp tacos were good, but the shells felt stale. The Brussels sprouts were also good but nothing spectacular (relative to other popular restaurants). All in all, great people, good food, great view. It is worth a stop!

    Incredible food at a reasonable price. The steak on pene has a homemade sauce that somehow makes the pene shine almost as much as the steak (it's good)! Came in by myself traveling for work to the are and sat at the bar, service was awesome.

    $5 margaritas!! Blubbery lemonade!

    I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because we will definitely be back but there were a few hiccups in our experience. Number one, music was way too loud. Place was not crowded at all and we were projecting to be understood and with the mask on we couldn't hear Kate our server at all, I would imagine she was having the same struggle to understand us as well. Number two, the fries were like limp over sides soggy hash browns. Suuuupppeeerrr disappointing, but I liked the demi glaze very much. Number three, the types of tortillas on the two sets of tacos at our table were switched. We didn't really care that much, tacos are still delicious tacos but someone else will definitely care in the future.

    Fish baked in a "EUROPEON" oven. Meh

    We went here on a Friday because we heard about the fish. The fish was not great. The fries were way too hard. Coleslaw was good and spicy. The patio is a cool place to hang out on. Old fashioned was ok. Probably won't be back.

    We enjoyed our dinner and wine at Studio 1212. The food was good and the environment was fun. A busy Wed evening.. the place was buzzing. A fun place with 50% off bottles of wine on Wed nights and good food choices. And, watch the sun set over the Fox River. Very nice.

    Great food. Great staff. Great wine. Great cocktails. Great owners. Half price bottle of wines on Wednesday is a must. Great view of the sunset 5/5
