acceptable - but, oh, why so small, am I an adult or toddler?? The Bad - Wow, you got time for this? The portions are unbelievably small- but that's actually a good thing! (It would be tough to stomach a large portion of any of it!) Yes, I know foo foo places like the tapas style mini-dishes, but enough already! I am still unclear as to what type of restaurant this is trying to be. I've heard everything from American, New American, Fusion American. It ain't American anything! It is overly seasoned, overly salty, overly sauced French food in disguise! I know, I know, hot new chefs are supposed to tell us what we should like, but this is purely ridiculous! If your idea of healthy meal is to hold super-sizing, then this place might be for you- it will have the salt & fat content you'd come to expect (but not the portion size). My oysters were nearly flavorless (is that possible) and the Ham Frites were essentially bacon grease infused - super healthy! Also tried some Gril
led Sepia - fine but the sauce was plain wrong-not sure what it was. If you are a fast food junkie, try the Pork Fat Donuts or the Lamb sausage stuffed calamari (yes someone at our table ordered it -but would not finish it!) The concoctions the "top rated" chef came up with is like a grade schooler fooling around the kitchen mixing things and having fun. This is not my style of food - more like an island castaways idea of survival.....The Ugly - the food is "trying" waaay too hard. I kept an open mind going in, as I do with many new to me restaurants, but came out wishing I had not wasted my time. Beyond disappointed in all the hype generated by the media & critics. If you like intentionally mismatched flavors with an obvious French influenced seasoning style (style-not flavor), then maybe you will like this place.I know alot of people will disagree with me (this is probably one of the most popular restaurants in Chicago), but if you have more traditional tastes, this probably
is not the place for you. If you have a brave stomach and a burning desire to be a trendsetter - give this place a try - at least the ambience is nice. Geeze, I almost feel bad giving this place 3 stars, but I have to. Perhaps it was high expectations going in, but
