| - Great place for a special event, great place for a regular night, great place for late night.
The food is outstanding. I have no other way than that to describe it. The decor is excellent - it feels very 'Chicago'. It's split into two areas, with two different experiences. The bar area has some tables as well as dining directly at the bar. The kitchen is visible from this area. The other area is a bit more formal of a dining area, and because of that is generally a bit quieter, and a more traditional dining experience. I like both areas for different reasons.
The table service is great as well - each time I've been there we've had different waiters and waitresses, but each have been friendly and more than willing to suggest something from the menu if we couldn't decide right away. There were a few hiccups the last night I was there, but it was with a fairly large group celebrating a special event, so I'm sure we were not easy to deal with.
Despite one or two small mix-ups, I absolutely plan to be back here more often. As they say, it's all about how you recover.
And yeah, it's kinda expensive, but if places don't charge what it costs to have nice things, they'll all be gone and we'll be left with the neon sign places by the mall. If you want average food at an average price, go to Applebee's. Maybe you'll see Ricky Bobby there.
