Pounded thin and surrounded by thick, flavorful breading, try the Wiener schnitzel--an old-school classic: Read more

yellowfin tuna starter dish is a must appetizer!

Very old school and unfortunately no live entertainment until next July. If you want to experience a little piece of Chicago history, it's a good stop for a drink.

Tuna tartar is excellent as always! Try it!

They've got some kinks to work out. 25 minutes to get service and get my first drink.
