I really wanted to love this place. It's in a great location in a cool building in the heart of downtown Champaign. It was recommended to me by friends so we tried it out once the early crush of new diners had died down a bit. It still took about an hour wait on a Friday to get a table but I won't complain about that. But although the food quality was solid, I didn't find it special.
The chicken we ordered was cooked to the proper doneness, but the breading seemed a bit soggy. I liked the big steak fries but the chicken just wasn't exceptional. Perhaps I've been spoiled by White Fence Farm in the Chicago area, but I thought the breading should have a bit more seasoning and a more crispy texture. Side dishes were decent but went no further. Overall, I thought the food was good enough to rate a return visit but again, it just did not wow me.
