Pre-COVID, this was our go-to restaurant for special occasions as a married couple or with friends. Food is top-notch! They also have a nice outdoor area for drinks that is even available in the Winter (they'll provide a blanket for you to tackle smores on a hotplate).

We regularly order take out from this spot in Prospect Heights. It is very tasty and reasonably priced. Equally good for dining in. They have an outdoor patio out back as well.
