Overrated place with bad food. I was brought there by a friend who thought he'd show me an "old Chicago" spot. There was a long wait even with a reservation and the meal itself from appetizers to conclusion was almost a parody of bad service and worse food at high prices. There's nothing more to say. Avoid this place.

Pros: Alleged former gangster hangout sparks a few Chicago stories at the table.

Cons: Everything else

Editor's Review

Old-school Chicago spot has been serving up inches-thick steaks and Italian classics to an old boys' club crowd since 1941.  See the full editorial review.
