After going to the Chicago Botanical Gardens light show it was the perfect place—friendly and attentive staff, good selection of beverages, specials, appetizers, salads, entrees and wine. Everyone loved their meal and the prices were very reasonable.

Unfortunately the food was less than impressive-“medium” filet came out rare in the middle. The salmon was seared on the outside but raw on the inside. We had to send both back for continued cooking. The Russel sprouts were mushy. The server was ice enough to comp a dessert sampler for us- which was very good

I ordered the special and received something completely different. All the waiter did was offer to have them make what I did order but then everyone else at the table would either wait and their food would be cold or I’d eat alone.
