Everyone comes for the steak, but their sushi is the best in Chicago. Lobster Rolls with real lobster tail. Fantastic.
BUTTER CAKE. Real whipped cream, nice crisp outside, warm and rich on the inside. Dessert doesn't get better than this.

Get the bacon, you'll thank me later! The shrimp are impressively large and my petite filet was perfectly cooked! Power lunch and date night dining!
