I’ve been to this place twice, and this review is based on two experiences. One was fantastic and the other one was average. So, I encourage you to try it and decide for yourself. The atmosphere is fantastic, the service is top-notch! I can tell you that for sure during both of my experiences. However, the food varies. The menu looks amazing, and the varieties and offerings are well balanced with Great ingredients. However, based on the chefs feedback, the food was pretty salty and we couldn’t enjoy it at all. my favourite dishes are the Zucchini Fritters, the braised lamb Saddle (however it was undercooked. So ask for medium well), the Branzino is delicious but also pretty salty!! Beef Cheek Gnocchi was delicious!! The manager came and made it up for us, by removing all the salty items from the Bill. However, I will be hesitant next time to visit given this experience. Top restaurants like this one must have very high standards and consistent experience throughout, as margins are so slim between all those competing restaurants in West Loop.
Overall it was worth the trip— the interior was pleasant, cozy, and buzzing but not so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation. I enjoyed the open kitchen and the cook on the shrimp and tagliatelle were perfect. The Delicata squash was a little Under what I would have liked but it had a nice layering of flavors and good presentation. The Tagliatelle was the best: rich but not heavy, perfect cook for the pasta, and generous amount of white truffle. One thing I will say about the shrimp— perfect cook, wonderful char, and the crispy garlic was delicious. I would recommend going at least once.
Three diners ordered beets, clams, ribs, octopus, and pasta, and shared. Afterward we could not choose a dish that didn't exceed our expectations. Service was attentive without being intrusive. And the Croatian red wine was delicious. Eat here. You will not be disappointed.
Crowded on a cold late Saturday afternoon. Service great. Ordered a series of smallish plates and happy with all but one. We will go back next time in the city. Perfect stop after all day at the Art Institute.
