Chicago
It had been about two years since I had been here, and was really looking forward to the crusted shrimp scallops I had last time...quite possibly one of the most memorable dishes of my life. Was very saddened that it wasn't there anymore which lead to some disappointment.
The service was sub-par...our waitress to interested in laying silverware (even though there were plenty of bussers and it wasn't packed) than taking out order. Water was hardly filled.
I got the sea bass with grilled vegetables, and definitely can't complain on that. Everyone else's food looked pretty delicious as well and smelled fabulous. We started with the calamari and bruscetta, probably the best calamari I've had in a long time (except for this hole in the wall Green place in the sticks) and as always plenty of hot bread to go around.
Atmosphere was good, a little cramped, but that adds to the flair of this place. Lots of scratches on the walls that I don't remember from last time.
Still, a staple in Chicago dining and a must visit for any tourist. Stay away from the one on Rush/Division...it doesn't beat the real Rosebud.
