  5 stars. 10out of 10. "Awesome". "Unbelievable". "The best". Don't waste your time anywhere else. This place had the best fish, steaks, and drinks out of ALL the places we tried on our trip. The teriyaki salmon was cooked perfectly over a bed of some of the best rice I have ever tasted. The Sea bass was better than any restaurant I have been to from Charleston SC to San Diego CA. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection, nothing could have made it better. Adding au poivre or anything other than how it was served would be a disgrace and an insult to common sense as well as the Chef. The special drinks were creative, playful, yet somehow managed to complement everything on our table... even the truffles popcorn served at the beginning when we were seated. Service was like they were in our minds, or at the very least we'll versed in reading body language. Anytime we wanted to ask a question or get another drink, they were there. Funky decor and beautiful views of the city from the enormous windows makes this restaurant feel open and less crowded, but this place appears to be very popular regardless. Pricing is not cheap, but if you are looking for a dining experience and phenomenal food, you have come to the right place.

  Had the absolute best Salmon here I've ever had in my life. The seafood tower app was out of this world. For future reference you want the west coast oysters. The east coast are good but the west coast were a standout. The atmosphere was excellent. My favorite restaurant in Chicago by far.

  My wife and I love this place. The dynamite sushi roll is to die for and it's something we consistently think back to. The entire cocktail, including the bitters, juices, etc are made in house which make these cocktails so good. We always ask for gabriel, and he always treats us well.

  A place where they serve expensive food in an impressive room with white tablecloths and inventive extras. Clients from out of town will likely be impressed, so will your mother-in-law. If indulging in rich food with no impulse to skimp on butter appeals to you (and I do believe there’s value in that) you’ve found your destination — the lobster is well prepared, the sides are… good? Goat cheese ravioli… also good. What I’m getting at is that the food is, well, good. It’s tasty in fact. But (especially for the price) I didn’t find much to be inspired by. We enjoyed our dinner, but won’t really remember anything about it. Objectively quality, but subjectively boring and bland

  We had an absolutely fantastic experience last night — and it was all thanks to Mercedes, our incredible server. She made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant, anticipating every need with genuine warmth and professionalism. The art of great service feels rare these days, but Mercedes reminded us that true hospitality still exists. The food and drinks were outstanding — everything came out exactly as ordered and perfectly cooked. From start to finish, it was one of those dining experiences you remember. If you’re lucky enough to get Mercedes as your server, you’re in for something special.
