Hub 51, Chicago IL - March 25

Rating - 9.994

Great spot for dinner before a musical - be sure and read Billy Elliot (http://talesfromtheroad-mwalno.blogspot.com/2010/03/billy-elliot-chicago-il-march-25.html) if you are a male...

I made reservations around noon that day (they laughed at Joe's Crab Shack when I called) and we arrived right around 6 pm. HUGE Happy Crowd, bar was FULL, but we were seated right away at a good table to the right of the bar. I would guess average age is late 20s, but us old folks fit right in also......

Excellent service all night, and our waitress was RIGHT ON with everything she recommended. Margs were a bit expensive, but they were excellent.

We were starving and ordered up the Guac and Potato Debois - it may be the GREATEST app I have ever had. Soo good that we ate every bite.

Feeling a bit full, we muscled up and ordered entrees....I had the salmon (decent, a bit overcooked) and Katie had the tacos (loved them).

We must have been drugged, or over served, because somehow we also ordered the brownie and ice cream for dessert - it was DELIGHTFUL....so good...and we were both so damn FULL!!!

Tons of fun, great vibe to the place, a good buzz as everyone was having fun. Greg Olson (Bears tight end) was in a suite and tie at the table next to us (he is HUGE) and no one bothered him and his agent/lawyer.

Got to get back here to be IN the happy hour crowd.........

Excellent spot!!
