Loved the view by the window. Was nice and quiet to as a table we were able to really enjoy each others company. Like the happy hour option! Service started a little slow as it was busy but overall our server was great!! She was so friendly, nice, and smiled! She was accommodating. When we were running out of time she said she would bring our dessert to our show table!!, she was awesome.

The service was great. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The food was okay but not what we expected from an Oliver & Bonacini operated restaurant. I would go back for pre-show drinks but probably skip dinner.

Great place to have dinner before the show at Second City. We were seated by the windows and had the best view which elevated our experience.

Service was just ok. Food was subpar. Since Sunmerlicious is on, half of their menu is gone (despite this not being flagged on their website) so options are extremely limited. Our server didn’t know which entrees were available, resulting in us having to reorder. The Shrimp & Grits were not appetizing. Shrimp were rubbery and Buffalo sauce has no place on grits. I also ordered a salad without the meat but it still came with meat.
