I suspected I would be disappointed when we, a party of 9, were seated right next to the kitchen and a table with several loud and obnoxious children. Not conducive to conversation at all! For a restaurant that claims it handles large groups well, Bice was extremely disorganized. No one got their food at the same time. We seemed to have about 12 different scatter-brained people attending to our table. Requests took several reminders to be met. Finally, even after insisting 2 or 3 times that good old Chicago tap water was adequate, we were brought several bottles of water at $5 a bottle. The food - My husband ordered lobster risotto at $25 and had all of 4 bites of lobster in the entire dish. Overall - horrible service, terrible value, loud and annoying atmoshphere.
