    It was our first time there and we were celebrating my birthday. Even though I put it on the reservation my birthday wasn’t mentioned. We weren’t given any recommendations at all. I had to ask for suggestions. I’m not sure if the server was new but she wasn’t helpful. The food was good and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the sushi. The seating was open as well the curtains which gave it a weird vibe. Not sure if I would go back.

    A winner in the South loop! Combination seafood place & sushi but in a steakhouse format ( all sides are separate). Every dish was prepared perfectly with lots of flavors. Only complaint is the drinks..none were prepared well..stick to simple martinis or wine.

    The food was out of this world. I had the Seafood Pasta and mom had the grilled prawns. We each started with 6 oysters (Delaware Bay for me and Acadian Pearls for mom). We also shared a side of spinach. One of the best meals I've had in a while. A little pricy, but excellent!

    Becky was great. Best clam chowder I have had in a long time, perfectly seasoned. Oysters were nice and fresh. Seafood pasta was perfectly prepared. Cute ambience with noise well controlled. A great location to end our visit in Chicago, left a very nice exclamation for our trip. Would definitely return when we come back to our Chi!!
