I was recommended this location by a friend who raved about it. I figured it was more of a special occasion type of place so when it came to my birthday, I wanted to get a small group of friends and family together. We went this past Friday and planned for a 9 pm dinner so we could dance afterwards. Food was great, albeit a bit on the expensive side since portions were small in my opinion. Drinks seemed like standard Chicago pricing, which is not cheap.

According to their site, it was ladies night... and for men, if you paid online you would get entry for $10 as opposed to $20 at the door. I had the guys who were going to stay for dancing buy tickets in advance to get the deal. However, they didn't even need to buy them because no one asked us for an entry fee. Turned out they were celebrating Carnivale, unbeknownst to us. It was a pleasant surprise and we had an awesome time! There was a dance performance followed by some group instruction. Our group enjoyed it and I would love to come back!
