Spent Sunday brunch on St. Patrick's weekend here and loved the views of the river, especially when dyed green. The menu items were great. Great bloody mary and enjoyed my lobster roll! Make reservation and have a meal with an insane view here!

A jewel of River North. Amazing views and food. Good luck getting in without a reservation. The chef will bend over backwards to make a meal you will enjoy. If u don’t see what you want on the menus, ask. More than likely, they will accommodate.
