What: New American fare with global influences, plus creative cocktails, served in rustic-chic digs.

Where: West Loop

When: Tuesday night in October

Why: We were going through our list and this place jumped out to both of us.  We made a reservation through the website.  The restaurant is not that big, but it has a great vibe, even for a rainy Tuesday night.  They have larger tables that can be used for groups or for communal seating.  They have booths and a bar area as well.  When we first arrived, we were one of only two tables.  By the time we left, the restaurant was pretty full.  The menu is meant to be shared, so we got a couple of plates and then we both had the octopus for the main entree.  For two people, we had 4 dishes total and we still had room for dessert, which was the best part!!  Overall, the service was great and the atmosphere was really cool.

The price about $40.00 per person without alcohol

Angel Wings: 3/4
