In Short – Guests at the Peninsula settle into this posh restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fifth-floor space appointed with contemporary furniture overlooks the Magnificent Mile via floor-to-ceiling windows accented by luxurious drapes. Diners enjoy entrees like Penang duck curry, Kobe beef burgers and a Thanksgiving Day sandwich with turkey breast, sage stuffing, cheddar, cranberry mayonnaise and gravy. The popular chocolate buffet featuring live jazz makes it a sweet way to spend weekend nights.

Fantastic Service, Lovely Dining Room, Great Food
by ColleenChicago at Citysearch
I have eaten here many times and am always impressed with everything. The dining room is lovely, and festive around the holidays. The best freshly made bloody mary in town. The club sandwich is wonderful, beyond what one would expect in the american classic sando. I did the chocolate night and it was well worth the money. Live music makes this a wonderful place to sit and have lunch. The kind of place you take your parents, or have them take you as it is pricey. Service is excellent.
- Pros: Live music, great food, great service, great atmosphere
- Cons: Very Expensive

Great casual lunch
by sugarywitch at Citysearch
Lunch here is wonderful. The ambiance is casual but the food is fantastic, great quality and taste. I was catching up with a friend I had not seen in a long time, so we were there for ages. We actually ran into the afternoon fashion tea (which was so much fun) and they let us keep our table and have a drink while we watched all the pretty models and clothes!
- Pros: Great lunch spot, good service, go for fashion tea!
- Cons: None!

Tea Time
by 900kgirl at Citysearch
Anyone looking to go for tea on Sat. or Sun. this is a great find. And little girls just love it, nice for a Mommy and me day. I prefer Penninsula over any other place in town for tea. You get great tea and great finger foods. Also a great place to meet the girls or even have a bridal shower. The service is great. Very classy and great price for what you get.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Tea/Finger foods
- Cons: Price of Parking

Eating w/ Mom
by ccrider101 at Citysearch
This place was recommended to me. I took my mom here. It's a very grown up place. THe food was really good and so was the service, but I think I like a little younger vibe to places. Overall a good place, just a l;ttle stuffy for me.
- Pros: good food, great service
- Cons: felt a little stuffy

High Tea
by lalaland7 at Citysearch
went for High tea for a Bday celebration. Sandwiches were fair tea was good except the server did know know how to pour the tea without the tea leaves going into cup (not impressive for tea specific type of event!) Music with cello was elegant touch. THey had the curtains closed and when asked why ...so we could see out onto the deck and enjoy the view they sais" the pullies for curtains were broken at this time" then we realized there was a NBC channel 5 private party on the deck and we realized they really would not open them because this party prob. wanted privacy...well we were paying guest also! Service was fair at best as well!
- Pros: music, food display
- Cons: service, price
