Wheelchair user seal of approval! Unfortunately, the elevator was broken when I was there, but the staff was AWESOME. They explained that they'd had a repairman out earlier, but due to the holiday weekend they couldn't get the part to fix the elevator. Several staff members were there to carry my chair, and I was able to use my canes to walk up the stairs. At the landing halfway between floors, they offered to bring a chair so I could rest. When I declined, the hostess came running down to tell me they didn't have a table ready yet, because she didn't want me to have to go all the way up the stairs yet if I didn't need to. I was there for a party, so it didn't matter, but I appreciated the proactive approach! Once upstairs, I had no problem getting around in my chair, including getting in and out of the bathroom. When it was time to leave, a staff member carried my chair downstairs and waited with it until I was ready for it. Everyone was just the right amount of helpful, and they were all sincerely apologetic about the elevator being broken. Thank you for making me feel safe and welcome!

Very nice place to grab lunch or dinner. Pretty good burgers, and you have access to the menu of the other three affiliated restaurants. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and definitely enjoyed it.

Best rooftop in Evanston. Is it the only rooftop? Food could have more options, it's bar food vibe, but I think their kitchen might be small. You'd go here to have a couple drinks and a bite outside. It's lovely for summer lunch or dinner.

We had so much fun and a great experience in this place. The restaurant has a fun, chill, and cool ambiance it has a rooftop with a very nice view and that is where we decided to be seated. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Their menu only has a few options but we like it prices are also fair and reasonable. We first ate their guacamole and chips. The chips have a perfect crisp and the guacamole is good. We also shared with their quesadilla and it was also good just like the usual quesadilla and has nothing special to it. The tuna poke salad is perfectly seasoned and the tuna is so fresh. It also has a nice portion and we are able to share it. The burgers are served with fries but it is kind of small, we expected it to be huge according to its price but it was really small though it is delicious. We still enjoyed their food especially the guacamole and chips and their tuna poke salad. I also highly recommend their rooftop!

Great food and drinks and friendly outside patio

Food came cold, Coke never came, server was friendly though. Instead of having 5 three star restaurants in one, I would suggest having one five star one.

Excellent food, courteous and attentive service, great menu, well maintained pinball machines. $9 12 oz. drafts and $8 PBR pounders are too expensive.

Great rooftop location. Fancy drinks menu. Food is mostly American and BBQ. You used to be able to order from the kitchens in the two downstairs partner restaurants, but not anymore so it's a nit of a limited menu.

I sadly did not have a good experience here. The food and drinks were fine and our server was lovely. But I noticed the chefs and food expediter were not wearing masks. I am in the food service industry and know the struggles since covid and the health mandates. I mentioned it to our server that they were not wearing masks (when they should be when handling the food). The manger came over and was very dismissive of it and said the chefs don’t like to wear masks. The manager instead of rectifying the situation was defending the chefs not wearing masks. He acted very dismissive of my concerns and of safety mandates. I wanted to like this place. Sadly, I will never go back to this place because I don’t feel safe about it and their treatment of customers.

Excellent food and drink. Nice selection of sandwiches and main courses. Perfect rooftop venue. A two patty burger actually available medium rare. Wish I lived closer. Bees were a minor annoyance in September.
