David Keller: Start with a pint of the Twisted Thistle, then the Shepherd's Pie, then finish off with the 12-year old Cragganmore. Delicious!
Kate Spence: So many whiskeys, so little time. Get the lagavulin And fried leeks. No seriously. You're welcome.

Steve Fogel: One of the best collections of single malt scotch in the world is on Wabash. This is a must go if you want to be blown away by choice, value, knowledgable staff and a warm friendly atmosphere.
Jerry Valentine: Excellent selection of Italian wines. And vodkas!
Betsy Rau: It doesn't matter how good the selection is if the guy behind the counter is on the phone the entire time. I would've liked to have purchased some top shelf Scotch and tequila. Oh well. Not going back

Bianca: Ceviche all the way! I loved the shrimp one and the octopus one. All dishes are fantastic, a nice surprise. The wine selection is great, too. The ambiance is very pleasant as well, highly recommended!
Mariana Villano: The service was really bad, the server didn’t come to our table. We asked for a glass for the beer for 3 different waiters. The food was ok but the ceviche portion was too small.
Craig Trapino: Bring your speedo. Pools open.

Justin Kadis: Gorgeous rooftop. We ate like kings and everything was delicious. The meat + creme brûlée pie were stand out dishes. Salad and hamachi were very refreshing. Try the Aloe It's Me cocktail.
Miro Vejchoda: Great food and atmosphere
Bianca: The perfect place for an afternoon bite. All the dishes are fresh and tasty-spreads served with warm pita, slices of beef, grilled brussels sprouts. The octopus was disappointing (too mushy)
