| - My experience at Old Chicago was over the lunch hour - I arrived around 11:30.
We were seated promptly on the patio. The patio here is clean but lacks charm (considering Old Chicago is in the middle of apt complexes/office buildings along Mineral Point). Also, there were bees hovering around our table during the whole meal.
Our server was very friendly and helpful, but totally strapped. He appeared to be the only person taking orders and tending to about five different tables during lunch. An additional waitress appeared around 12:15, but our guy had been literally running around waiting his tables up until that point.
As a result, service was a bit slow. It took a while to get silverware/napkins/refills.
I had the spinach, sun-dried tomato, and mushroom lunch calzone with a garden salad. The salad was phoned in - iceberg lettuce, a few cucumber slices, almonds slivers, and a single cherry tomato. The calzone was not completely cooked, leaving a damp slimy bit of dough on the inside... was the dough straight from the freezer? The first few bites were entirely this undercooked dough and melty cheese. There was not very much of the advertised filling and when there was, it was bland.
Service was a 3, food a 2.
