The Basics

So, What does Yours Truly mean?

Nothing really. It’s just an American joint that serves nice food, oysters, wine, and spirits.

Nice! Who did all this anyway?

Adolfo Garcia, he’s clocked over a decade in the business. He’s also created and designed some of Chicagos most beautiful spaces.

Yep! That’s him. So, what’s good here anyway?

We cook things that make us happy, like a seasonal green market salad; a deluxe burger with a tower of shellfish and oysters; tasty sandwiches; flavorful shareable dishes homey desserts or something altogether surprising and new. You should really check out the menus.
