We were excited to try the place after reading the great review in the Tribune. But what a disappointment. We were seated just inside the entrance, so didn't really get to see any of the restaurant and had to listen to the wedding party in the lobby outside. We ordered a Goose Island IPA from the limited beer list, and got a Fat Tire instead; when we summoned the waiter to return it, he came back to say that they were out of the Goose. We found it a bit condescending that they had poured another beer and tried to pass it off as our order, instead of simply telling us they were out of the Goose in the first place. Frankly, insulting, as we do know the difference between the two. In addition, we paid $46 for a halibut dish that included morels. Husband is a big fan of morels, as they grow all over the countryside of his hometown and he grew up eating them; however, these were full of sand and grit, obviously not washed carefully. He couldn't even eat most of them--and for $46! We probably should have complained, but had already done so with the beer and basically just wanted to get out of there. All in all, a waste of $170 and 2 hours.
Pros: good waitstaff
Cons: poor bar staff, poor food preparation
