    Very friendly and helpful people. Be sure to ask for a tour of the building. Look for the secret room in the basement (the wall opens) The Mayor's Room is really nice too. Old place. Check it out!

    Our first visit this past weekend, great place for dinner, moves to the top of our best spots for dinner in Chicago. Great ambience & service! Bone in filet was excellent, Key lime pie is the best!

    Check out the house specialties for affordable treats such as whole-wheat fettucine carbonara with kale and smoked duck breast. Thick Key lime tart nails the experience. Serious martinis and wines. Read more

    You get exactly what you come here for - juciy steaks, white jacket service, old school ambience, all set inside an old firehouse.

    Food was delicious, service was great, but don't pay $9 + tip for valet. Caddy corner from the restaurant is a lot that charges $7... Which is where they park your car anyways.

    Go for brunch and get the spiked sweet tea with the shrimp and zucchini omelette. Both fabulous choices!

    Open-face blackened tilapia sandwich, served as part of a $16 lunch prix fixe, is a solid hit: moist fish, flavorful crust and a chipotle mayo to tie it all together on sturdy focaccia. Read more

    The lobster bisque is spectacular, it has a thin layer of bread on top that compliments it well!!!

    The double pork chop is awesome. It's 25 but worth it. The Caesar salad was better than expected. Good service.

    This place is decent but super expensive. Seafood is overpriced, and the meatloaf is too salty. Get a couple of beers on tap. Also, don't order the specials.

    If you have a reservation for after nine, they might not to honor it. We showed up and they had already locked up and would not come to the front to let is into the restaurant. Tacky and frustrating.

    Blue cheese crusted rib-eye just melts in your mouth! Paired it with the perfect red: Malbec Reserva

    Poorly lit (bring a flashlight like our adjacent table). The only seasoning on the food served was charcoal from the grill. Lamb was too fatty to be edible. Calamari was good. Didn't stay 4 dessert.

    A room of twelve people all had options. Yet they all ordered filet mignon. Think on that.

    All around unimpressed with brunch. Valet, service and food below average. No one seems trained.

    It was awful. Terrible service took almost 2 hours to get our food, which wasn't very good.
