I came here for brunch & most definitely need to come back for dinner! Their fish & chips beat Bobby Flay, & it's no surprise they did! This dish is perfection! The cod is fresh & flaky, and the batter has just the right crisp. The dish itself is huge & all the accompaniments are exactly what you want. The beignets are so fluffy and great for sharing a sweet treat to start or end your meal. The corned beef hash is packed with traditional Irish flavors and tastes delicious! You need to come here asap!

What started off as an embarrassing night (got stood up lol. life happens it is what it is) turned…read moreinto something memorable and a whole lot more tolerable, especially since it was my first time at this restaurant. I have to thank John and Vanessa for going above and beyond making me feel so welcomed despite what happened. Vanessa's ability to read my emotions without me saying a word and redirecting them into positivity was immaculate. John was super attentive and upbeat I couldn't even sulk if I wanted to. Those two deserve so much recognition for their hospitality and work. The food was amazing. I had the rigatoni vodka and the golden hour drink. 10/10 for both and I see why they are chosen often. Definitely recommend giving this place a try and I am most definitely coming back, whether it be by myself or with friends!

It is so interesting because everyone was so sweet but everyone looks like they are in school uniform uniforms from over the pond. This was a nice place and the ambience and lighting is beautifully dim and my friends look so beautiful and the match their food as well. We have tried vodka pasta from everywhere in Chicago and this one tasted uniquely like Gigi Hadid's pasta from TikTok. They were amazing with food allergies and so attentive and caring. Great staff and great service. The sticky Date cake was just absolutely heaven sent. Epic

Honestly a little pricey but the happy hour made it worth it.

I was the only customer there initially when I stepped in even though the place eventually got full. The server was very attentive and kind. I ordered coffee and traditional breakfast plate. It tasted homey and just what a needed. Overall I had a great experience of feeling welcomed and warmth but in stillness with delicious food. Probably on a nice warm day, this place is crowded and popping. That's also going to be fun so I will certainly revisit with friends for some brunch and mimosa.

The place was a mix of sport and classy could have a few more TV's where it matters but the place is buzzing and the food is good. No pics this time; phoned died ....next trip I got the bbq Salmon I wanted to sub the mashed cucumbers for mashed potatoes ended up getting both, mashed potatoes route imo. Purposefully didn't give cooking instructions but the Salmon came out cooked well done, just lacked a solid crust or glaze for being bbq. *has a star on the menu so order to your taste. Would definitely order again.

Went on an architecture tour on the river with a friend and spotted this restaurant, so I knew I…read morehad to try it! We were lucky and got a spot outside right by the river. Lots of boat traffic so if that bothers you I wouldn't recommended going outside. Was super fun people watching on the river; lots of party boats and people just having a great time. We needed ended up getting tuna sashimi, sea bass, and a steak with a side of mac n cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly and the Mac n cheese was excellent. Had just the right amount of bread crumbs to give it that crunch factor and wasn't overly cheesy.. just the right amount. We of course saved room for dessert and got a slice of chocolate cake. But boy I'll tell you the slice was ENORMOUS so be prepared. Definitely meant to be shared with the table. Service was also excellent. Will be back soon

If you're coming here for drinks, it's probably a great vibe, but if you're coming for food, I…read morewould recommend elsewhere. I want to preface my review with the positives, Londyn was our server & was truly so kind, thorough, and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean & all tables have clear views of the TVs on game days. Now for the room for improvement- the food was very underwhelming. Being from the Chicago area previously, I regularly advocate for the Chicago food scene, and this unfortunately did not meet those standards. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower, wings, and sesame ginger salad: -Brussel sprouts: tasted like they weren't seasoned just air fried and drenched in balsamic dressing -Buffalo cauliflower: soggy, unseasoned, runny buffalo sauce -Wings: PERFECTLY CRISPY, but no flavor (we ordered lemon pepper & buffalo) -Sesame ginger salad: sloppy mix of vegetables tossed in an overly sweet sauce with no sesame or ginger flavor in sight If you're not going to eat, this is probably a great spot, but from a food standpoint, there is room for improvement.

I came here with a friend and we chose to sit at the chef's counter and do the pre-fix menu which…read morewas $100 per person. We were stuffed by the end of the meal and needed to pack a few things to go because there was so much food. Flavors were bold and complex for each dish. The veggies were all cooked expertly, my only critique is that some of the dishes were on the saltier side, so having a side like rice or a carb might have helped. Stand out dishes for me were the asparagus and the short rib noodles, which reminded me of jap Jae. The meal started off with some bubbles which was a nice touch and the staff had a great pace of the meal. In terms of parking, there's street parking around the area that's around $7 for 2 hours. Bathrooms were clean and had a dimly lit, mysterious vibe. Glad I tried it but it's not my favorite restaurant in Chicago.
