    Great 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!

    The 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

    Steaks 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

    Limited 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.

    If 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.

    The 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

    Best 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?

    With 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.

    It's a perfect spot to take a break and have an outdoor drink. Never crowded and still surrounded by the city hustle.

    To 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

    The 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!! ;)

    Never 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

    Tuna 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.

    Honestly...everything was amazing. A real surprise being that it's located in a touristy area.

    Ask for that side Aj. He's hands down the best server in chicago and he knows his stuff.

    Damn 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!

    Sit 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
