Review: South Loop Club has some great food. Unfortunately, this is not the case with their nachos. I'm not that picky, and nachos are pretty hard to F up. Though not completely bad, these nachos were just too plain for the price paid. Skimpy on everything, including the velveeta-like cheese. The menu at South Loop also mentions Hot Jardinaire. Jardinaire, or "Jardiniere" is defined by dictionary.com as:

1. A large decorative stand or pot for plants or flowers.
Or
2. Diced, cooked vegetables served as a garnish with meat.

As far as I could see, this appetizer came with neither. They were served on a flat ceramic plate and came with several raw veggies on top.

I hear the owners are Greek though, so I guess I can't fault them on their bad french translation.

The only saving grace is the inclusion and sparse sprinkling of little tangy carrot-looking things. I'm not sure if these are a kind of pepper or a kind of carrot, but I was sure to scoop as many of them onto my tortillas as I could before my friends took them.

All in all, the nachos were too little for too much. Stick to the South Loop's delicious wraps and other fried food fare. Not to mention their extensive beer list.
