Why should you visit: Well for starters, any meat eater will LOVE this place. They have a lot of various options of what to eat. I enjoyed a Grilled Fish, Roasted Pork and various vegetable sides.  The food was tasty, fresh and the Restaurant setting is great. It’s very lofty with killer views of the Chicago River and a lively energetic setting. It’s perfect if you’re shopping on Michigan Avenue and want some warm tasty comfort food after or a beer during Chicago’s hot summer along the River.
