Subpar - much better resturants at half the price. Went there with my wife hoping to try something different on New Years. Paid for the New Years meal rather then ordering seperate dishes. First, they brought out the wrong dishes, our waitress did a great job covering, then as the meal progressed, they kept bring out dishes that were rather cheap and unispired. Portions were tiny, which would have been fine had most of topas actually tasted good, however, only 1/3 of dishes were worth eating. (who the hell wants to eat raw beets that taste and looked liked they came out of a can?!) Clearly, the pre-made menue was designed to make money rather the entice repeat customers. Often we would get dishes late or in some cases not at all. Finally, desert arrived, unfortunately someone decided that we could share a desert rather then give us each a desert. Granted, at this point I was looking forward to leaving and head to another resturant to actually eat, but when the bill is 250.00 and the resturant is in financial difficulties where they are that cheap, well, there are much better resturants with far better service in chicago at a more reasonable price. The staff were very nice and did a wonderful job covering for managementn however, the constant appologies became annoying after the third one. A resturant of this self-described caliber should have been much better then what they offer.
