OMG I’ve literally been here every weekend since the Grand opening. This place brings me peace on the weekend. After a long work week this is my spot! My fav brunch spot in Chicago! Fish & grits OMG! French toast bites, banana pancakes are soooo good! Then BYOB, you make your own mixed cocktails & they have everything you need to make them! The staff is so professional. The owner is there & she check on each table to make sure you are good! To the owner it’s ok to relax you did your BIG ONE with this! I bring a friend every week lol! I might be the #1 customer! I love it and will forever support this place!

The hostesses and managers were nice. Our waitress kept forgetting about us, but overall was sweet. The food was OK, it was fresh and hot. Just needed a little seasoning. The drinks were pretty good minus a couple, the liquor tasted a little cheap, but definitely a fun experience.

The vibes and ambiance were excellent. It was a nice scenery and they had decent food it could’ve been better. We received complimentary champagne for having to wait a bit to get seated but it wasn’t a huge wait. The people were very inviting , the servers were super friendly, the music was groovy & it was a nice place to take your significant other , group of friends or even just a nice solo date. Make sure to come around 2-5 or 10 to close to eat off the happy hour menu which has some nice selections as well. Overall it was a dope experience and i will definitely be taking my queen back again!

I believe this venue will now be one of my most favorite places from now on in Chicago! Excellent ambience, setting, entertainment, service all top notch! Jess, my very knowledgeable server, intrigued me with her whiskey savvy!! She offered the Heaven’s door Bob Dylan whiskey which was superb, & then turned me on to “Angel’s envy” a very interesting flip on the popular espresso martini!!!! I will definitely come back!! GO THERE!!!
