This restaurant did not live up to all the hype. I made reservations 3 months in advance and was looking forward to being blown away . The Staff was friendly and professional . The restaurant is extremely small but decorated in a lovely manner . My husband and I were extremely disappointed with the food as well as the wine list . We ordered the fried chicken because it was the night's special and the waiter told us it was not to be missed . It was the most bland and dry fried chicken I have ever eaten . The mash potatoes were a disappointment. The Mac and cheese was ok but how can anyone mess up mac and cheese. We had the corn bread and Art's famous biscuit along with several other appetizers, and nothing was extraordinary . The wine selection was limited and expensive. The best part of our meal was the dessert. We had the Hummingbird Cake which was very good . I don't believe the wait for reservations to dine at this restaurant is worth the trouble . The hype this place has is strictly because Art use to work for Oprah and because she hyped it on her show . Save yourself some time and money and just order the Hummingbird Cake from the Allen Brother's website which also has allot of Art's dishes for sale too . There are too many wonderful restaurants in Chicago were you can have a savory meal without having to wait months to get in .
Pros: Dessert
Cons: wait for reservations, food and wine list
