Petr J. • May 12, 2022Beer with a view! Lot of outdoor seating and diverse list of beers.

J.R. R. • June 26, 2021Swanky club vibes inside but a nice patio, too (just watch out for rain drops). Wise selections include cauliflower, beets, lamb, Burrata pizza, & carbonara. Rosemary Gimlet might be the best cocktail

Emily B. • August 25, 2017I love this place. The cocktails are top notch, the bar is absolutely beautiful and they play good jams. Good service and knowledgeable bartenders.

laura h. • May 4, 2014Not just ice cream - they have homemade candies, cupcakes and cookies. The crazy cake concrete with vanilla custard and red velvet cupcake is heaven!

Justin K. • August 26, 2020Gorgeous 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.

Gina • October 13, 2015Amazing sandwiches and market. Great arancini. Friendly staff.

Marie L. • May 30, 2023Filet mignon cooked to perfection and excellent sides, order the steamed broccoli. Decor and music are a mood.

Chicagoist • August 1, 2014Try the sauerkraut rye bread, their chocolate cake doughnuts, buttermilk poundcake and "grandpa rye" bread, a three-pound loaf swimming in caraway and perfectly suited for Dagwood sandwiches.

Joanna F. • October 2, 2018The waffle cones are a little salty. So good!

Amanda W. • August 21, 2016Butchers breakfast on the weekend (especially their breakfast potatoes)-- and amazing mochas you can take to go. Also recommend the return of the gyro!

ᴡ H. • August 7, 2016The cappuccino is the best in the area. Just slightly better than Gaslight's 😰. Also a great place to work from. Love the environment. The playlist has some soul.

Joe G. • August 3, 2018Great biscuits and pie. Will be back to try the pie cone

Brian S. • March 9, 2016Stone crabs are a pricey delicacy that I enjoy a couple times a year. Get a steak and a martini with blue cheese olives to go with for the win.
