Dined on Apr 18, 2026
We had a great experience from start to finish to celebrate a special birthday. Housed in a beautiful old townhouse we started with drinks in the lower level bar before we were escorted upstairs for our dinner. Staff was friendly and extremely knowledgeable in guiding us through the menu to pair our drinks with pixtos and the variety of meats and seafood entrées. As a result, our meal was a balance of flavors and textures all beautifully presented. A must visit in Chicago.
