Sweetwater -- The Verdict

A welcome addition to a but of a touristy dead zone on Michigan Ave.  The pepper-stuffed burger offering was well received; tasty and surprisingly well constructed.  The patty melt, however, didn't impress, with a poor beef-to-bun ratio.  The basic burger was fairly basic, but we wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers --know what I mean?  Good beef.  All offerings were cooked to order, and served swiftly, with friendly service.  Compared to the prior tenant, a Benningan's, it's a step up.  "No regrets in eating here but I might not remember to come back."  Overall:  solid pub grub, bub.  The fries, however, need a bit of work.  Low of 73; High of 81; Average of 77.
