Visiting Chicago and this place is a must during the holidays. Our server was amazing. Food was good, decorations were out of this world. We took a lot of great pictures. The only downside was we placed 2nd in music bingo. Thank you Santa Baby for helping to make our visit to Chicago just a bit more magical.
