The Scene – Small, granite-topped tables take up most of the room, making it best for couples or little groups. The dark brown walls, dim lighting, minimalist decor and velvet curtains keep the place modern, yet intimate. A bar shares the main dining room because space is limited, but customers never feel cramped. – – The Food – Chef Stephen Dunne (mk, Spago, Rubicon) pairs tapas dishes such as duck confit and steak tartare with specific wine flights to take the guesswork out of choosing the right wine with your meal. The bubbly flight, which includes samples of Cava…

Overpriced undertasty

by SashaDog7

I wanted to like this place based on my friends positive reviews but our table of four visit ended up costing $260 before tip for very mediocre food. I was befuddled at the check amount. The food was very average without taste. dishes such as the steak tartare and black angus beef over pasta were completely devoid of flavor- very bland. The cheese plate for $16 was paltry portion size. The wine was very expensive. A check of that amount should have been a four course dinner not an average night out with bland tasting food. Very disappointed. Do not recommend.

  • Pros: Wine list
  • Cons: Expensive, bland average food

great food, great wine

by edward1171

The food and wine where killer. The environment was a bit loud and you are elbow to elbow with the adjacent tables.

The dishes are pretty small but well prepared. I respect a man that takes pride in his work the chef was that man. I stood and watched him for a few minutes and was very impressed. I would recommend the roasted beets, steak tartare or the polenta.

We drank the 03 barbaresco, it was killer. The port was to my pleasure as well, I had the porta rocha 1975.

  • Pros: food, wine, service
  • Cons: not much space

Creative food, but a bit overpriced

by tangy215

The atmosphere and offerings of this small restaurant in Roscoe Village were generally pleasant, but the portion sizes are tiny and it is quite expensive for what you get! I ordered an the lamb, and it was excellent! The sauces were wonderful and the meat was tender and flavorful. Only flaw, it was tiny! It was about the size of an appetizer! My date ordered the kobe beef, but his was cooked in a very plain manner - kind of a shame for such good quality meat! It reminded me of a stew. It was also pretty small. Unfortunately, after an appetizer, entree, and wine, we were still hungry.

Overall, I would recommend it as a nice place to go with some tasty offerings, but if you're hungry, you should probably go somewhere else.

  • Pros: Wine pairing with everything on the menu, interesting offerings
  • Cons: Expensive, little personal space
