Service was good and appreciated. Food was good as well. One of our favorite places to eat as Cubs fans. Only disappointment was that we had noted with our reservation that it was a special occasion (son’s 18th Birthday) and that was not acknowledged at all. We still very much enjoyed our visit and eating there as we generally always do.

I've eaten at Remington's multiple times. I was here recently & everything tasted as expected, except the Key Lime Pie. I've always recommended Remington's as a great place to dine and have emphasized how wonderfully tasty the tart Key Lime filling and buttery crust are. I don't go out as often as I once did and made a point of talking up the pie with my visiting guests. I ordered a slice of the pie. It's different than expected. Much sweeter, more pudding-like filling, and a too crumbly crust. I'm so bummed to say it wasn't what I had come to expect. But the ambience is great and the waitstaff is wonderful.

The staff was friendly, welcoming and made us feel great about our visit. We went for happy hour and enjoyed a couple reasonably priced apps and wine and some of their extensive local beer selection. Highly recommended!
