    Nicely appointed dining areas with welcoming staff. Seating and special occasion online requests were handled without reminder. Val, server, is terrific! She was attentive without being intrusive; knowledgeable about the menu; has a very pleasant personality; despite being busy made us feel like we were the only diners in the room. Our drinks, appetizer, entree and dessert were each served in a timely manner without feeling rushed to eat. The Caprese Ravioli and Tiramisu are delicious.

    We were in from Wisconsin for an event at the United Center. The food and drinks were outstanding. Two of our party had pizza, which they loved. I had the best turkey burger I've ever had. Their cheese curds were great, too. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. The place was packed, and I was impressed that the entire restaurant seemed to run like a well-oiled machine. I wish we didn't live so far, as I'd love to go back. (Can you open a location in Milwaukee?) Another huge bonus - the shuttle to the UC. Friendly driver, too! We couldn't have had a better experience.
