Editorial Review for Seasons – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The formal dining room is softly elegant, with plush carpet, upholstered armchairs and linen-swathed tables set with Wedgwood china. Jackets are recommended, and the menu is pricey, but the atmosphere is far from stuffy. Service is sharp, accommodating and friendly.
The Food
Seasons' excellent, tastefully presented French fare makes it one of Chicago's finest dining destinations. Dishes on the changing menu might include seductive pancetta-roasted salmon atop asparagus and black truffle gnocchi in asparagus broth (wonderful), or succulent, peppery seared antelope with delicate celery root puree. Sunday brunch features six differently themed buffet stations, including Asian, Mediterranean, seafood and a deluxe breakfast station offering made-to-order omelettes. For dessert, Seasons calls its milk chocolate pyramid the "Eighth Wonder of the World," and for chocolate freaks, it may well be: Chocolate mousse and caramelized bananas ooze from a cocoa-dusted pyramid, topped with an edible gold leaf and accompanied by cool, rich coconut sorbet.

I've always been wary of hotel restaurants, but Seasons could stand alone on it's own merits! We took my in-laws here for their 40th anniversary. The food was amazing, and the service for our relatively-demanding table of 7 was almost psychic. (I think it helped that we went on a very light Wednesday night.) Again, the food was fabulous--creative and fresh. I had the tasting menu with wine, and there wasn't a dud in the lot. At the end of the evening, we all felt relaxed and pampered, and wonderfully un-stuffed, even after 7 courses. Only (minor) complaint is the decor--I'm not fond of the style, but it's not overdone. I will definitely be back!
Pros: Amazing food, Great service
Cons: Pricey, Decor a bit fussy, Pkg Garage Location
