I would actually make it 4.5 stars if possible but I always round up. Came here for a date night with the wifey this weekend. We had heard goof things and looked forward to some tasty treats. The restaurant is in a very cool spot with big open ceilings. Cool little lounge area in front.
We got there for our 8:45 reservation and were told they were running a few minutes behind. No big deal. Almost 30 minutes later, and getting a little hangry, we finally got seated. I understand people can be slow to finish meals, but 30 minutes after our reservation is a bit much. One of the things I miss from living in Chicago is that we would have most certainly been offered a cocktail while waiting around for that amount of time. Not to say we couldn't have walked over to the bar, but hey, I only dock half a star. Honestly, the servers here are slow. That's why your reservations back up.
Enough gripes.
Everything else was awesome. They can make a very tasty old fashion. We started with:
The popovers - almost ordered a 2nd round. Super good.
The Brie toast- fresh and light. Really hit the spot.
Entrees:
I had the porkchop. Not my typical order but the yelpers had spoken and they were right. Solid piece of meat. Perfectly cooked. If it were socially acceptable to chew on the bone I would have. Will order again who I got back.
Wife had the spring salad. She really enjoyed it but I honestly didn't pay too much attention. I was focused on the pork.
We also shared a side of Mac and cheese. Delicious! I'm not usually impressed by Mac and cheese but this stuff was done well.
For desert we shared the bread pudding. Could have used a tiny bit more ice cream on top but overall some of the best bread pudding I have had in awhile.
All in all. Great meal. Cool spot. Reasonable prices. Will be back for sure.
Make sure you reservations!
