Ricky BasOctober 11, 2015Great atmosphere and location. Skillet filet Mignon was perfect, Mac n cheese super tasty, and tavern steak was great. & the server Maria, was one of the best servers that I have seen. Very attentive!
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014The menu is full of delicious creations, including some nice variations on classic dishes. I found their wings to be amazing, their calamari outstanding, and their burgers pretty incredible. Read more
Chicago TribuneJune 15, 2015Steaks and other American fare can be enjoyed in the Tree House, the name of the rooftop deck, which offers a bird's nest view of Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue. Read more
s h .September 3, 2016Nice location, friendly bartenders, not to mention to cool atmosphere and great view at the rooftop bar!
Michael BushMay 23, 2014Limited outdoor seating, snotty staff and a short, foamy beer pour. However, the hummus was a great app choice with a generous portion for two. Once seated,. Aki was a intelligent, attentive server.
Jake SmithAugust 3, 2013If you order the fish and chips, use the vinegar provided but skip the tartar sauce; it's just too mayonnaise-y. Also, be aware that the porch deck with the awesome views doesn't open until 4:00 PM.
Marcel EJuly 19, 2015The dipping sauce that comes with the sweet potato fries is amazing. One thing though this place is a lot dressier than the name suggests.- Great place to catch the game (football, basketball, etc). You can't go wrong with any dish. But we recommend the Randolph Street Hummus! Read more
Adam CallowJanuary 13, 2014Best wings in town. Where else do you get a trio of sauces as sidecars to dunk each wing into? Buffalo sauce it seriously addicting here.
Bookmaker steak sandwich is big and hearty and delicious - did I mention it's on a buttered pretzel bun?
Robert ShellSeptember 19, 2013With inspired cocktails that have funny names and the famous $212 martini, this "tavern" is fun and fancy but the food is quite bland for the steep prices.
michelle jimenezNovember 13, 2015It's a perfect spot to take a break and have an outdoor drink. Never crowded and still surrounded by the city hustle.
Crain's Chicago BusinessJuly 21, 2010To start, split some herbed chicken fondue with fontina cheese; follow with beef short ribs braised in red wine demi-glaze, comfort food with gourmet aspirations. Read more
BonaeFebruary 27, 2013The pear infused vodka (Alison Wonderland) is God awful I'm forcing myself to drink it bc it's a 12 drink! Lol the chicken noodle soup is what sold me on this restaurant & they didn't disappoint!! ;)
Chris BroylesJune 20, 2011Never had a bad meal here, and their cooks nail the steak temperature EVERY time -- one of the most consistent kitchens in the city, in my opinion. Read more
Nicole BlochJanuary 12, 2013Must try the white truffle aioli w a hint of garlic, served on the side of well done fries- amazing!
Paul ReithNovember 5, 2013Tuna tacos are great when you want that in between lunch. Not too light, but not huge either.
One of the best restaurants in the city of Chicago. Great food, bourbon, and people watching. Owners Donny and Peter are the BEST. Show them this TIP. I recommend the Chicken Marsala.
If you love chili or even like check out the Prime Rib Chili - it's amazing...
Chris WFebruary 7, 2013Honestly...everything was amazing. A real surprise being that it's located in a touristy area.
Najuma FultonMay 15, 2013Ask for that side Aj. He's hands down the best server in chicago and he knows his stuff.
CatherineMarch 2, 2013Brisket is so tasty and so tender. Wash it down with the Fox Barrel Pear Cider.
Claire McKinneyFebruary 27, 2013You have to try the butternut squash ravioli or the lobster Mac and cheese!
Jenny Fukumoto 🍺June 12, 2010Damn good cheeseburger(your choice of Swiss, American, Chedda or Blue) and fries for $12. Fat Tire battered fish and chips for $19. Pricey drinks, but sitting outside makes it worth the bill!
Lindsey McNamaraFebruary 1, 2013Prime rib chilli is insane! So good if you are looking for a smaller meal
Sit at the bar and eavesdrop on self-entitled douchbags try to out brag each other.
Dana DanielleSeptember 30, 2016Sit on the roof aka "tree house". Service was just ok, they made us wait to go upstairs and then when we got there is was empty! Great views! Food is just ok
Fox BarrelMay 12, 2011The Fox Barrel Pacific Pear is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!
KatieFebruary 12, 2011Staff and owner, Donny, are awesome. Great service, food and drink! Try the chili and "Big Mike!"
