This place is stunning. It’s so beautiful inside, making it a perfect spot for drinks or dinner. We got a couple of things from their Happy Hour menu as well as the truffle pasta. Everything was good - from the food to the service. We’ll be back! If you’re curious about the HH specials, they have various food and drink options for $5 each! And on Wednesdays they have half-priced bottles.

One of the best happy hours in Chicago that give you the most bang for your buck. A great selection of drinks and bites for $5 and the mussels are TO DIE FOR (get extra bread to soak up that fab white wine sauce). It's not too loud and away from all the noise of the mag mile and not super busy like the west loop. A great place to have on the list!

A vibe of a restaurant. Dark, grungy, sophisticated like a classic whisky. The food was delicious and our server Anna Maria was impeccable. We ordered 2 appetizers: the burrata and the steak tare tar both were served with homemade sourdough bread that paired perfectly with the food. Then for the main course we got the burger and the French dip both were AMAZING. Flavorful, perfectly cooked and huge portions. The fries were ever so salty but still good! Then we topped it off with dessert, can’t wait to come back!

Great place for a night out on the town. Stopped by without a reservation on Saturday night and got seated in less than 15 minutes and the place was full! All the employees were nice and welcoming. The bartenders really know what they are doing because our drinks were great! Had the Oaxacan old fashioned and the Hemingway Daiquiri. Our food was also delicious as well. We ordered the truffle mozzarella sticks, burger w/ thick bacon, truffle bucatini, and the skillet cookie. It was all great and can't go wrong with any of those options but the star of the show was definitely the truffle bucatini. Overall would recommend this place and definitely will be visiting again.

Hi All- For a Saturday night, can anyone elaborate on the average age of the crowd, and if it’s more of a ‘date night’ atmosphere, or a mixed crowd? Thanks!

More of mixed age group crowd of about 30, and 40. Definitely a date night atmosphere. Its bit dark inside too

What is the proper attire for the establishment?

Christian Antonio | Dec 6, 2020
J Chang | Dec 7, 2020

Agreed with the above. For ladies anything from nice jeans and a top to a sweater dress and boots are fine. Cute casual is what I might describe it as.

Great date spot! Dimly lit. Mix told tables and booths along with the bar. There's also The Library downstairs, where it's a little quieter.

No but you can bring wine, though, and there's no corkage fee but their rule is you have to share a glass with someone in the restaurant
