First time visiting here! Excellent customer service from entrance to our waiter. Ordered a small build your own deep dish pizza: mushrooms, spinach, pepperoni. This was the best tasting pizza I’ve had in a while. It’s sooooo filling. My BF and I shared a small and I could barely finish the second slice. A personal deep dish is probably enough for two to eat off of. Thanks to the kind and knowledgeable transit driver for the recommendation.

We called ahead and made a reservation - a must on Friday or Saturday evenings. We arrived and there were folks waiting inside and outside. I went in, confirmed the reservation, and we were seated right away. The place was packed. The servers worked fast, and because it was full, our meals took about 30-40 minutes (pizza, wings and a sandwich). The server had cautioned us when we ordered that it might be 45 minutes before our food arrived, that’s why we ordered the wings as an appetizer (got them in about 15 minutes). The food was hot and tasty. The wings arrived with carrots and celery on the side. The pizza was especially good (crispy crust, with Canadian bacon, onion, and pineapple). The meatball sandwich was ok…too soggy to pick up (which is fine), but was served on paper in a metal open weave basket. It was difficult to cut (since it was too soggy to pick up and eat), and the paper kept tearing. I get it…less plates to wash, but this sandwich should’ve been on a plate (they do have plates). So, my meal was a bit difficult to eat, but tasted ok.

Just visiting the city for the weekend! Of course we had to get some pizza. We had a good experience here. The vibe is a low lit Italian place mixed with a bar and sports on tvs (not overwhelming though). The food was great we had the hummus app and deep dish deluxe

Possibly the worst service I have ever had. The curly haired child at the front needs to be fired for her lack of want to succeed. She is lazy and may be a little more set for success at McDonalds - especially with her smart high school attitude. Terribly lazy. I was ignored for about 20 minutes before being helped. However, when I was helped my waiter was rather kind and knowledgeable when it came to the menu. The food was good but I ate and left as fast as I could. Go elsewhere if you want some proper service along with good food.

Fantastic food, good service. We kept them open later than we should and they were pleasant and attentive. Sorry we kept you guys late!

Friendly bar tender welcomed us for lunch at Exchequer bar/restaurant. Friendly and efficient wait staff. Tasty meatball sandwich with yummy sweet potato fries. Enjoyed fresh chopped salad with balsamic dressing. Excellent lunch reasonably priced. Recommend.

Great location. Terrible customer appreciation, rude service staff that didn’t want to even talk to you.

4.1 stars. Great location with some pay on-street parking available. Steps to Chicago Symphony Center and close to Auditorium Theater. Helpful and friendly management who provided good information while making our reservations. Our food server and food presented were okay. The thin crust pizza was meh, a bit bland... My Big Al burger was a monster! The cocktail we ordered had to be remade and ultimately was a very good pour. The booths were comfortable in a room with a supper club feel. Bathrooms are a solid B and the establishment is handicapped accessible. I would recommend...

I really like this place. It has great decor and warm lighting, making for a perfect cozy tavern vibe. The first couple times I went here, I came just for the drinks. They have a great draft beer selection and the place is never too crowded, so you can usually get a nice booth for 2-4 people. More recently I ordered food here and was impressed! I got their signature burger with the impossible burger patty and fries on the side. The food was ready surprisingly fast and the fries were crispy and good quality! I will be coming back here, for sure!

Continues to be an an EXcellent choice in the Loop! Great Food, classic environment and professional staff.
