    We always enjoy the Wrigley Mansion. We maintain our membership because the service, food, and cocktails are consistently fabulous. This was our 2nd time attending the Jazz dinner at Geordie’s. The first time was a wonderful experience, this time…meh. We went for my sister’s birthday. Service was inattentive and we were rushed out at the 90 minute mark. Very disappointed that we couldn’t order dessert. Was hoping to get her a piece of cake or something to celebrate. Portion (and no cheese or basil…nothing) on the gnocchi was a bit sparse for the money. It’s unfortunate that my only negative experience at Wrigley was when I was trying to impress someone. Ah, hopefully it will be back to regular standards next time.

    A perfectly beautiful culinary Christmas Eve!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The mussels, calamari, scallops, and chicken fennel pasta last night were some of the best dishes I've ever had there. Overall the food was spot on, the staff are all marvelous and the ambiance is always right!

    Our server Miranda was great! My husband and I both had the holiday spiced pear old fashioned which was perfect. Our table of 3 had the pretzel bites - super yummy. Pretzels were soft and fresh and the fondue flavorful and creamy. Meatloaf, Prime rib french dip and Kobe burger, all delicious. Some people might say the service is a bit slow at times but I don’t like to be rushed through a dinner out so I liked the pace.

    Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
