6. Mindy's Hot Chocolate

We stopped for brunch on a busy Sunday, and we would definitely go back just for the hot chocolate! The staff was friendly and the food was ready in a reasonable time. Some of the dishes are smaller than expected, so make sure you ask questions before you decide. We tried to make a reservation, but there were none left; however, they do keep a few tables for walk ins, just make sure you get there early! We had no problem getting a seat, but noticed the restaurant filled up quickly.

We received great service and excellent food. We started with the Pintxo Platter, followed with short ribs, seared sea scallops w cauliflower purée, grilled lamb chops, chorizo wrapped dates, goat cheese baked in tomato sauce and a mixed green salad. Every dish was great! We were in a bit of a rush so we did not order paella - we saw many orders delivered and it looked so good.

Great atmosphere - awesome wait staff. The butternut squash and acorn ravioli was outstanding. Had the prosciutto wrapped prawns as app - also very good. Highly recommend. The kidsâ menu was less than desirable. Our kids had the chicken. It was a half a chicken breast cut in half - making it thinner. One thin piece per child and was cooked to the consistency of a hockey puck. Because the adult food was so good, great atmosphere and friendly wait staff, going with 4 star instead of 3 stars.Thank you so much for taking the time to write and for the feedback regarding the kids meals. You comments have sparked a conversation with the chefs about how to best execute the kids menu and we will definitely be improving on it for the future. Great to hear that you enjoyed the prawns and squash ravioli...those are 2 of our most popular items!

Would be only 2 stars if not for the excellent service and lovely ambiance. We had four and only 3 thought the food was what it should be. Steak quality was below what you would find at RPM or Kinzie Street. Also I love my sodium but everything from meat to sides was too salty. We had salt on the table, could have adjusted the salt desired ourselves. Had the twice baked potato but it was dry and not fluffy like something was missing.
