• 2014 Clos Cibonne Côtes de Provence Cru Classé Rosé ($15). "An extremely versatile rosé that is more than freshness and approachability,” says advanced sommelier Arthur Hon.

• Sunchoke soup was the hit of the evening, plus all the fish dishes are great. Nice selection of interesting wines by the glass and a nice atmosphere overall.

• Definitely make a reservation with Open Table. We still had to wait for our table even when we were early for the reservation, so it is definitely a good idea.

• Make sure you or someone you're with know what the fancy terms for the dishes mean.

  by Jake Crockett

  
  

• Andrew Zimmerman's evolving menu specializes in quiet standouts packed with big flavors and fun details, like brûléed miso or smoked potato gnocchi.

  by Chicago magazine

  
  

• The Easter offering takes the form of a holiday prix fixe, with dishes like farmer’s cheese blintzes, a breakfast strada with ramps and shiitake mushrooms, and French toast with bacon butterscotch.

  by Chicago Realtor M.

  
  

• I just hung out at the bar by my lonesome and I felt pretty cool doing it. The old fashion is pretty good, though not the best I've ever had.

• The vegetarian options are very limited, but the root vegetable pot pie was unique and yummy!

• No time for dinner? Opt for the lounge, a gingery Sepia Mule cocktail and the sweet-salty-smoky flatbread of fresh peaches, creamy blue cheese and bacon

• Beautiful food, great service. My new go-to place for a working lunch!

  by Elizabeth T.

  
  

• Frisée salad with poached duck egg and bacon is our go-to for a smaller lunch. Here it is simple but well-executed, the salad's vinaigrette and lightly pickled shallots setting off the richer flavors.

• Making reservations for 5 or more? Ask 4 table 60 or 70. Both are private w a view. You're in for a treat

• Buttermilk ice cream adds an unexpected but welcome tang to white chocolate mascarpone tart scented with cinnamon, and coconut ice cream sets off tropical fruit compote with passion fruit rum sauce.
