Restaurateur about town Jerry Kleiner (Carnivale, Gioco, etc.) is behind this South Loop private event space. The room reflects Kleiner’s colorful style, with two main dining areas (one with a bar vibe, the other a more subdued dining room) divided by a huge bookcase displaying a wild collection of artifacts and treasures from Kleiner's personal collection, from wine bottles and books to a sculpture fashioned from an old street sweeper. During the summer, the huge outdoor patio is a draw.
