Review Food Here:

Always wanted to dine here and finally did so. everything was perfect starting with the Ambience and the Service. We started things off with aged cheddar and red Wine Which we loved, then we had the Chicken Kababs and the Octopus with the green beans both were delicious. Also I was hoping there was pork belly but I believe the restaurant ran out the previous night so I asked the server for something with a tender texture and he recommended the Pork Shoulder and we actually ended up loving it. The dish itself had great components and the presentation of the dish was priceless. Can’t wait for my next Chicago trip so I can come again.
