It wasn't wholly positive. Cicero's funding, and by extension the future of the restaurant, was all hanging on the Chicago Tribune's review, and the season 4 trailer – "consistency seems to be the weak link here" – suggests it was... okay. Is there enough good in there for Carmy to plead his case to his key patron and The Computer?

Despite those gorgeous Chicago cityscape, food and Metra reels set to Eddie Vedder, series 3 was a rare misstep in comparison to The Bear's riveting first two runs, because it felt as if it was preoccupied with splashy guest stars, Neil Fak’s regression further and further into caricature, and laying the groundwork for season 4.
It ended on a cliffhanger, with Carmy reading the all-important review as Syd had a panic attack outside her own housewarming party over the decision to sign the partnership agreement or join forces with former Ever chef Adam at his new venture. That came after Sugar gave birth, the Faks unsuccessfully petitioned Claire to get back together with Carmy, and Syd and Carmy attended the Ever closing service funeral.
It's at that dinner that Carmy was finally able to confront his former mentor and perpetual tormentor David Fields in a deeply moving but ultimately frustrating sequence. However, one further revelation emerged from it: Luca, friend to Carmy and perhaps more to Syd, has temporarily relocated to Chicago.
