Cons: Expensive and over-priced for many things.

I have a mixed review about the Chicago House of Blues. The Restaurant was nice, with a price range between ten and twenty dollars for the entrees. Drinks will run the bill up quickly. Outside the restaurant is a small gift shop which has plenty to...

Pros: Beautiful flowers
