"The food was amazing! We had the meatball app, garlic wings, truffle fries and sliders. The services was great plus the manager Jason and the owner both stopped by our table to check on us. The digital graphics and overall theme is the City of Chicago so this is a must see place. I can't wait to go again!"

"Definitely not a good dinner spot. I'd been to Municipal for lunch and enjoyed their food, so I suggested it for dinner with a friend. Big mistake. The place turns into a nightclub around 9, and we could barely hear each other in conversation. Then it got even louder at 10. By the time we left, my throat hurt from shouting so loudly in and effort to talk to her. I'll never go there again for dinner."

"When I arrived they had the wrong reservation time. The bar was packed so I suspect they did not want to honor it and the table they tried to accomodate us with was subpar and not suitable for our group. Go for drinks and to watch a game. Don't bother making a reservation."

"Went there on a Saturday after work and had a great time. Our server, Daisy, was wonderful. Service was impeccable. We didn't have to flag her down for anything as she was on top of her game. Our glasses were never empty and had the drinks coming. She gave great recommendations as for food. The lobster salad was amazing. The manager also came to our table to make sure things were up to par. Thanks Daisy!!"

"If you're going for dinner where you actually want to hear what the people you're with say...then don't come here. It is extremely loud, to the point where you have to shout to have a conversation. If you want a vibrant bar scene, then this is the place to go to drink and socialize, meet people, and be seen. Food was alright, they brought our appetizer out at the same time as our food, so make sure you specify that you want your appetizer before your food. Waitress was super nice, hostess was also nice, and busboy was very attentive. I'd go back, just not for a meal that involves conversation."
