"We had a hamburger and a turkey burger, both were very good, as were the fries. Service was attentive and our water glasses were never empty. Took a little longer than we anticipated to get the bill. But not a big deal. It was a Bear's game day and even at 6:00 PM there were a few loud fans left. Music vol was a notch above what we wanted. We have been here a few times and have always had good food and service and when we sit inside that the noise level was a little to high. But in the warmer months they have nice outdoor seating and often open the windows which helps with the noise. All in all a good time, food and service."

Nice surroundings but music so loud we couldn't communicate without yelling. Owner stopped by and was very friendly.

So disappointing! Good was not good, greasy and just overpriced!! Went here before a concert and honestly was a waste of money.

Looking for a spot near United Center. Food service was great. Taste was good. Value great. Parking a little difficult. Will return. I'm very picky, and loved everything about it.

Definitely make a reservation very busy and I was glad I had one. It's very loud so if you are looking for a quieter place to possibly get to know someone, this is not the place! If you want to have a good time with drinks and good food I highly recommend! View menu

Went for brunch as advertised on the site and I experience many times before. However, when I asked the waitress was brunch still over at 3 so I could start my table's bottomless mimosas, she said yes. She left and came back saying that they just changed the rule. No brunch and no mimosas left us disappointed.

Food was undercooked and was told we’d be charged to have it done over because he’s not about to lose out on money. The parking was hectic due to an event outside and was moved to another table because we were a few minutes late. They grabbed our belongings and moved us. Who grabs a patron’s purse like that. They seated us (10 people) in a booth made for 6 people. The owner needs anger management and therapy. He definitely doesn’t need to work with the public. Wouldn’t recommend.

"Tempesta is arguably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. They make a lot of their meats in house and use high quality ingredients so you know you’re getting the good stuff. Not only can you get a great sandwich, you can purchase most of their meats to go as well as other small artisanal grocery items. I have tried almost every sandwich they have on the menu but my top two choices would be the #1 The Dante and the #2 Yo! Vincenzo! The Dante is their version of a classic Italian sandwich but a bit on the spicier side. The Yo Vincenzo is a chicken parm and I personally think it’s the best chicken parm sandwich in the city. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and they use just the right amount of sauce where it doesn’t get soggy. Both of these sandwiches come on their fresh baguette which helps set them apart from other sandwich spots in Chicago just because of how good it is. The B Franklin is also a great option, and if you’re starving get the Wagyu Pastrami but be warned it is a very heavy sandwich because of that Wagyu. The last pro tip I’ll add in here is order your sandwich ahead of time if you’re doing takeout. This is a very popular spot and is always busy during the lunch rush so if you wait to order until you arrive you may need to wait for 10-15 minutes. That should speak to how good this place is because it’s in such high demand, so if you’re in Chicago make sure you stop in!"
