Amazingly fresh ingredients! The tasting menu is the way to go, but if you see an entree you like you can add it in.

The 1960s-era tables and chairs, in a dining room of exposed brick and shiny dark floors. The food mines the same aesthetic, melding Nordic austerity with Midwestern warmth. Read more

Great small plates, especially the black garlic beef tongue, confit hen of the woods mushrooms with chestnut, pear cream, and one of the best desserts: sunflower seed semifreddo with fermented honey

Great, laid back atmosphere. Nice wine selection. Sazerac was lighter than the traditional cocktail but very well balanced. All our food was good but the veggie focused dishes and dessert stood out.

This place is AMAZING! You can’t go wrong….top notch cocktails, food. Highly recommend the duck liver tart 👀 Service is impeccable too! To top it all off, the aesthetics of the space are 🔥

a la carte menu is better than tasting menu. however, non alcoholic pairing is excellent.

I had the slow roasted Beef Brisket and one of the cocktails. The brisket was good.

Tasting menu was great!!

Great service. Wine pairings, mocktails, fish (sturgeon), and dessert were absolute standouts. Ultimately, slightly overpriced and a bit loud/bright for date night. Cocktails were uninspired.
