   Very fun place. Food and drinks were quite expensive but overall tastes good and the experience was fun.

   Thank you for the great review! 🎄✨ We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and overall experience. We know the prices are on the higher side, but with the rising costs of goods and labor—and all it takes to bring the Christmas magic to Chicago—we do our best to make it worth the visit. Hope to see you again for more holiday fun!

   Tables were dirty and one soft pretzel took 30 minutes. We go every year and the quality seems to go downhill more each year.

   Very cool aesthetic. Awesome place to take pics. Wasn’t very busy and service took a while. WAAAAY over priced. I mean $13 for a regular mug of hot chocolate. Food was cold and not very good. One and done

   Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the aesthetic and photo ops! 🎄✨ We’re sorry the service and food didn’t meet your expectations. As for pricing, we know it’s high, but it reflects the rising costs of goods, labor, and the effort to bring the magic of Santa Baby to life. We appreciate your visit and hope you’ll consider giving us another shot in the future!

   Decorations were great but the service was not. We were told we could only order off the brunch menu when everyone around us who was there before us ordered off the lunch menu. It took a really long time.

   Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the decorations! 🎄 To clarify, our brunch menu is only offered until 2pm. We’re sorry for any confusion and delays you experienced and appreciate your patience. We’ll work on improving to make your next visit better!

   The holiday decor is over the top in a great way. The customer service is terrible. Tons of spots open and they sat my family at the door where we were freezing. Thoughtless decision ruined the experience and made it not worth the high food prices.

   Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you loved the holiday decor! 🎄✨ We’re so sorry to hear about the seating experience and the impact it had on your visit. While it might have looked like there were open spots, many of those tables are reserved for upcoming reservations, which limits our ability to move guests. We understand how frustrating this can be and will address this with our team to improve. Thank you for sharing your experience!

   Went for Santa Baby experience and it was AMAZING. I originally made reservations for the wrong date and it filled up- I was able to send a message and she changed the date for us (Thank you!!) When we checked in I was greeted with a birthday card signed by everyone (thank you!). All three stories were immersed in Christmas decoration. It wasn’t overly crowded, even for a Friday at 9pm. The drinks were good, service was 10/10. And as tiki bar lovers, we will be back next time we are in Chicago!

    The place was decorated very well. The food was good, drinks were pretty watered down and for the price that is not acceptable. Service was ok very slow in getting our drinks but food came out quickly. Very disappointed when we were just finishing our dinner the waitress brought out bill but, we told her we wanted dessert and were told our time limit was up and that we would have to get up from our table because they had another group that were going to sit there but clearly there was numerous tables available throughout the bar. Also we were not slow in ordering our food or drinks . When I asked the server to check with management about us staying a little longer because we were seated a little earlier than our reservation was for she said no the clock starts as soon as you sit down but if we really wanted dessert we would have to take it to go. Family was very disappointed and we will not be retuning next year there are so many other places on Clark to go to choose from for Christmas. Anyone wanting to go make sure you set your timer so you get to have dessert or a second drink.

    Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the decor and food! 🎄✨ We’re sorry to hear about the disappointment with the drinks, service, and time limit. To clarify, all reservations come with a 1.5-hour table time limit, which is stated on our website, signage, and OpenTable. This policy allows us to accommodate as many guests as possible during the busy holiday season. We understand how frustrating it can feel, especially when tables appear open, but those are often reserved for upcoming guests. We’ll share your feedback with our team to improve the guest experience and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. We hope you’ll give us another chance to bring some holiday cheer in the future.
