We sat inside which was a cool open air area. Next time would love to sit in the beautiful outdoor garden. The food was really good. The grilled Brussels sprouts outstanding. Radicchio salad was not bitter at all. Come to find they purposely remove the bitter ends of the leaf (great trick to use at home). Saffron butter pasta with a crunchy grain added...delicious. Good wine list that was not over priced. Good selection of cocktails and the frozen sangria was “so good” as my wife described it. Not sugary or over sweet, with some nice hints of spice. Finally the key lime dessert! We will definitely be back. Forgot to mention the great service. Ask for Paloma as we will next time we visit.

Wanted to take away a star for taking the black truffle gnocchi off the menu, but the food is just too good. And the service was awesome as well...

The dishes and cocktails are fantastic. The fish pictured below is the easiest method to eat the prepared sea creatures. The red snapper is unmistakable, but the the flavors had me guessing all night to my delight. This restaurant has culture and quality. The service was appreciated and the experience deserves revisiting. This restaurant is a perfect place for double or group dates.

I. Was. Impressed. The three things that really matter when you go out to eat are the food, service, and atmosphere and all 3 were on point. Chicken and waffles were awesome and so were the chilaquiles. The service is what really sold me though because I was made to feel like they were paying special attention to me. At one point my girlfriend's butter knife fell on the floor and it seemed like they were at our table with a replacement before it even hit the ground. We went for brunch, but I'll be back for other meals fo sho.

Service was the best. Food was good, it's just that I'm Mexican so I want my food to be spicy! The place is very nice too and love the patio!

Came here for a birthday brunch - had a fabulous table outside on their gorgeous patio. Food was beyond delicious, as was the service. Two of us got the chicken and waffles which were amazing (with delicious syrup/sauces) and two got the breakfast burger which was very tasty (and VERY filling!). Peeps had their dogs on the patio too - always a bonus to find another dog friendly spot! Easy parking outside. We are definitely coming back!!!

The staff was extremely friendly and well organized. The hostess offered the patio and we thought it would be a good idea, but Chicago weather kicked in and it got cold. The owner offered blankets, nice gesture, but we decided to go inside for so warmth. We started with the brussel sprouts, a little over cooked but great regardless. I had the 8oz burger with bacon and it was cooked to perfection. The fries were crispy and deliciously prepared. My girlfriend had the roasted Amish chicken was just a bit dry for her taste but the preserved lemon yogurt sauce made up for it. The place has a really good selection of drinks.

Such a breath of fresh air. The customer service is amazing. I always leave with a full and happy belly. And drinks are interesting and fun. Atmosphere is relaxing and you forget that you are in a busy street in Chicago while sitting in the back patio area. Lovely

Food was excellent. The Cauliflower dish lives up to the hype. Unfortunately the server was very slow and was not too attentive.

Great place for a decent Dinner and great drinks. The Manhattan, old fashioned and mezcal mix drinks were delicious. They had the rib eye special when I went and it was cooked to perfection. The shishito peppers were really good.

What a fun place. Friends and I made a reservation for brunch. The brunch menu is a concise. We liked that. Everything was really tasty. I loved the fresh naked biscuits for biscuits and gravy. But, whatever you do, make sure you get some fries. They are coated in flour before they are fried. They are so crispy and good. $30 mimosa carafes with fresh OJ were just perfect. I loved the pattern on the walls. So quirky. I was a little surprised how empty it was, but there was a snowstorm outside. This place made me excited about the Pilsen restaurant scene. Oh, and the bathrooms were really chilly.

Absolutely fabulous! This restaurant far exceeded my expectations. The service was wonderful and the food was even better. The dishes were beautifully balanced with deep flavors and great presentations. My favorites were the truffle gnocchi, the beet and ricotta dish, and the salmon tartare. Don't leave without trying the brownie/vanilla gelato/cracker jacks dessert!!

The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were amazing! This place is a neighborhood gem! The waiter was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations on what food and drinks to order. We also really appreciated the manager coming by and checking in on us several times, it shows that they really care about customer service. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice casual place to eat and drink, as well as someone looking for a great date night destination. I'm really looking forward to when the weather warms up enough to eat in their outdoor area.
