A once great steakhouse run into the ground by new ownership

by ryangassxx

This place used to be fantastic until it was sold to a group of psychos who quickly earned a reputation among clientele for being rude, and business suffered. I had the displeasure of having an encounter with one individual who came to me to build a website for the restaurant. It became clear early on that I was working with an individual who wasn't playing with a full deck. He eventually stiffed me after several hours of work on a website that never got published, and told me "shame on me for trusting him", his exact words.

Also, it's nice to hear that they sold a bunch of gift cards to people around Christmas of last year before closing their doors shortly after. That sounds about right for the group of characters who ran that joint..

• Pros: Used to be among the top steakhouses in the Chicagoland area
• Cons: Was sold to some unsavory characters and earned a bad rep
