Food was good and very flavorful. Tables were very very close to one another (I noticed this on the left side of the resto when you walk in), approximately 10 inches apart, so can be uncomfortable for some. Getting in and out of the seat, if you're sitting on the inside, is super awkward as the tables around you need to move to accommodate. The thing is, food was delicious and the ice cream dessert was such a good ending. So overall 4/5.
Had a date night here with my best friend and LITERALLY had one of the best times.Seating:When you walk in there is a fair sized dining area with ample tables for the size of the place. We were sat at the far end, towards the back of the restaurant. Normally, this would have been bothered me being sat in such a busy part of the restaurant where the staff is coming in and out of the kitchen. HOWEVER, I am one of those people that happens to LOVE bar seating at restaurants.Culture and Ambiance:Bar seating really gives you the opportunity to get to know staff and see the culture of the place. This seating happened to give you a full view of the kitchen. My friend and I got to chat with staff and watch them make our DELICIOUS meals first hand. Overall very chill and rewarding.Side Note: I used to live in the building two doors down. This restaurant used to be a thai place. Getting the know the culture of this place was an important aspect for me. Growing up in this area, you want to get to know the businesses replacing the familiar ones.FOOD and DRINKS:First of all, THAT STEAK! Absolutely cooked to PERFECTION. We ordered some carrots and I was quite taken aback at how much flavor was added to make an already yummy vegetable even more tasty. The fish was one of my favorites paired with mushrooms and thinly sliced potatoes. So GOOD! ORDER THE PASTA! Trust me on this one. The drinks were delicious and strong. Desert was chef's kiss. Not too sweet and overall a good note to end on.All-in-all worth every penny. I will definitely be coming back.
Between the food service, and drinks the experience was amazing! Highly recommend the onion rings, I wasn’t really feeling the cocktails they offered but wine list is really good, and they were able to do some classic cocktails which really made up for it. I only liked the camera ice cream (I tried all 3 deserts) the others didn’t have a lot of flavor of texture was too dry to eat.Overall a pretty good experience and I’ll definitely be comeback back.
It’s true, the food is great as well, the servers, lovely. But the policy of 1 1/2 hours per table makes one feel that they are on an invisible conveyor belt. Gone are the days of lingering and relaxed conviviality. It’s a show and a good one but miss the breathe of genuine dining and conviviality
I'm with my sister when we came here. When we enter there are a lot of customers inside and luckily there are tables and chairs vacant. My sister sat on the table so no one was occupied while I went to the counter and ordered our food. This is not our first time here so we have a background about their service and food. You can have a view while the chefs are making food.One of our favorite dishes they have is Tri tip Steak. It was so good and yummy. The steak was perfectly cooked. The side dish also was pretty good. The meat was soft and the seasoning was good. You can try this dish if you come here.We spend 3 hours here before we go home and we enjoy our food here. We had a great experience here!
Wow ? the eggplant was so delicious! My boyfriend got the steak and I LOVED the vegetables it came with. Definitely a good place for a date night. The tables though, are soooo close together I couldn’t squeeze in.
I must say that making a reservation first is a must at this restaurant. The restaurant is small, and the last time we went here it was really crowded. The atmosphere and vibe are nice, as is the customer service. The server at our table was accommodating and attentive. We did not really ask much of him because everything on our table was fine and settled. Everything is also fine when we are waiting for our food, until suddenly music is played and it is so loud that we have to move closer just to understand what we were saying. The restaurant was full and the loud music was the main reason why we could not understand what each other was saying to each other. The service is quick, and the food that we ordered looks really nice when it comes to presentation. The food is delicious, and the food that they have is definitely not the ones with a large portion, because the food only has an adequate portion and the flavor was really delicious. Everything is really delicious. The price is also expensive. It is a good thing that we only ordered enough food, which is why we did not pay much more than we expected. The food and the service are amazing. However, if you also want to eat here, I suggest looking at their prices carefully.
My mom book a reservation before we came here. There are a lot of people coming here and sometimes they have no vacant seats already so I need to book a reservation so we have a table to sit in and no problem encountered. We're glad that the waiter and staff are really nice. One of my favorite dishes that they have is their Tri Tip Steak. The steak was cooked near perfect. It has a great seasoning and is flavorful. It's soft to eat and perfect for the side dish of veggies and meat. I like it. We spent 2 hours here before we went home. We had a nice experience here. My family enjoys the food and the service. We highly recommend this restaurant.
Great service from Mike. We order carrots, eggplant, tagliatelle, and crepe cake. The eggplant is great, the carrot is decent, but the tagliatelle is incredibly salty and the crepe cake is quite sweet(it has a really good crunch though.) The tagliatelle is really a let down. What’s worse is there no price on the website menu so we use Google review which says the tagliatelle is $22 when it is in fact $28. Food texture is on point, flavor is hit or miss.
The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was hip. But what got Giant up to. A 5 star rating for me was the food. The dishes here had such a wonderful combination of flavors that I am already looking forward to my next visit to Chicago so that I may eat here again. The chef accommodated my vegan diet with artistry!
