Had a good time for the Bears pregame tailgate. It's a plus that they give you a free round-trip water taxi ride with your reservation. Food, drinks, and service were all good! I'd go back again for the watch party.

Although I was expecting a dinner guest, he was delayed and unable to come. Despite that , Stacey took great care of me as I nursed a cocktail and enjoyed a fabulous caprese salad. I now want to go back and enjoy great service from Stacey and enjoy more of the menu items.
