"We enjoyed a really nice meal before we went to see a concert at Playhouse Square, Straight No Chaser. Kato did a wonderful job as she worked the bar and waited tables. We had the cauliflower appetizer and Braised short ribs for dinner. Everything was delicious! It was a great space to be before a concert and Kato did a wonderful job. We would recommend stopping by for anyone who is downtown. We will be back!"

"If I could give zero stars I would. I have attached a picture of my “spinach dip” that had no spinach and cheese was not melted. I tried to mix it up and it was so hard the chips were breaking. Someone else didn’t like their food at the table and before I could speak up about my food the waiter walked away and never gave me the chance to say anything. As it was sitting on the table she still never asked me how it was because you can look at and see it was nasty. There was an older lady walking about asking people how their food and skip over our table. I am highly disappointed. 10/10 would NOT recommend."

"Let’s just start with the bad and get it out of the way. Ordered the New York Strip cooked medium with mashed potatoes and sub extra mashed potatoes. As you can see from the photos that the strip I got looked like it was ran over by a steam roller, cooked for 5 hours in 500* oven. Had no flavor, the Demi glacé had no flavor, and the mashed potatoes had a weird after taste. I mentioned this to the waitress and she was apologetic about it. I ordered the French onion soup for an appetizer and it was pretty good. I ended up reordering something and got a burger instead. Requested medium, came out well done but was pretty decent. The fries were good as well. Not sure if this happened to be an off day or what, but other reviews showed decent looking steaks. I wouldn’t come here again."

"We decided to try this restaurant for the first time before heading to our show at Playhouse Square. Despite reading several negative reviews, we wanted to give it a fair chance, hoping for a good meal and pleasant experience. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty, so we didn’t expect any issues with service or timing. However, our waiter barely acknowledged us. He took our drink order in passing and dropped them off without any further attention. After sitting with our drinks for quite a while, he “took” our food order while simultaneously serving another table. About 20 minutes later, he returned to confirm what we had ordered — clearly forgetting. We watched as other tables that arrived after us (including larger parties) received their meals, while we continued waiting. After roughly 40 minutes, he assured us our food was “on the way.” Another 20 minutes passed, and with our show starting soon, we still hadn’t received anything. When we told him we needed to leave, he responded quickly and without any empathy — just, “I understand.” The manager was kind and came over shortly after, and while she was polite and admitted that this was not their normal service (and didn’t make excuses), nothing was done to make things right or offer any kind of compensation. We left hungry and disappointed, rushing off to our show. Fine for drinks and conversation, but wouldn't recommend for dinner. It’s unfortunate because we truly wanted to enjoy the experience, but based on what we encountered, we wouldn’t return."

"I had a great experience at Ghost Light Restaurant. The service was excellent, and the waitress Kato was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, and I really enjoyed every bite. The drink, which was the house specialty, was well-prepared, and the Kato did a fantastic job in making it. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the dining experience even better. Overall, it’s a wonderful place with great service, tasty food, and well-crafted drinks. I’d definitely visit again!"
