One of the best hotel restaurants in Chicago. I'm a particular fan of their executive lunch.

Wonderful food, very cool setting. Loved it. We had Sat. brunch...and they take reservations, which is great. The Poached Eggs w/ crab is to die for, and the whole experience was great. Only thing I didn't like was that the service was a little bit lacking, but not bad.

Stunning Decor. The pastries (especially the chocolate croissants) are just like you would find in Paris! Fresh and yummy. Very good breakfast crepes and fresh squeezed orange juice. Beautiful decor and very hip.

THE place to be in Chicago!. Beautiful food, cool people and swanky service. Great place to relax and be taken care of. We will return.

Felt misled by the first reviewer. This was one of the worst dining experience we have ever had for a long long time. Fancy names in the menu only turn out to be major culinary disappointments. To top it off, the seating was uncomfortable with cold drafts coming down our backs. This was a miserable experience.
