Never returning! nor will lots of people I know!…
Very Dissapointing. The service was below average. I live in Chicago and I was looking forward to a mind-blowing culinary experience, but it just didn't deliver. The food was over-priced for the service and dining experience.…
disrespected and overcharged. Disrespected and overcharged, visiting chicago i set up a reservation weeks in advance and very specifically requested a table with a view as that was why my girlfriend wanted to go there,, I was told that it couldnt be guaranteed but they would try , My reservation was late 9:30 and upon arriving all windows were taken so i went along with the table i was given , the disrespect came after a window table came available i watched it sit there uncleaned for about 15 minutes then after in was reset I asked the waiter to be moved to the window table , he said he would ask the maitre de and returned quite a time later and told me no,, I couldnt believe it but chose not to make a scene as I dont believe my girlfriend would be impressed by me losing my temper and treating people harshly ,, We made the best of the dinner but were very dissapointed , when you spend more money you should recieve better treatment not worse,, I had a blast at the signature club the night before which had the best view by far anyways, We are a polite happy go lucky couple who has never be treated so poorly before,,, waiter was stuffy and snobbish ,, honestly i feel this treatment was because we didnt order wine and run the bill up ,, We dont drink alcohol and didnt feel tea would be appropiate for fine dining ,,,anyways i hope people read this and other reviews on here and stay away ,, they deserve the bad reviews on here ,, I only wish i would have looked here before going there,, in fairness food wasnt terrible, and waitstaff did a decent job but after watching the window table sat vacant i have to say the dinner was horrible and chicago has many more enjoyable places to dine.…
Fine French cuisine, 40 floors up..
The Scene
Jean Joho's plush, classically French restaurant Everest positively oozes the good life, from the polished gold railings to the abstract bronze centerpieces on each table. The
carpeted room features high draped ceilings, mirrored walls and a breathtaking vista of the city. Friendly, tuxedo-clad waiters provide unobtrusive service to a conservative, moneyed crowd.
The Food
One of the world's most honored chefs, Jean Joho prepares traditional French cuisine that's haute and hearty. The degustation menu delivers a sumptuous, seven-course tour of the chef's breathtaking skills--from buttery, sinful roasted lobster to flaky sea bass on celery root. The a la carte menu offers several Everest signature dishes; among these, creamy carnaroli risotto (topped with 24-karat gold leaf) and tender poached tenderloin of beef are not to be missed. For dessert, the fabulous "fantasy of chocolate" lives up to its name, with five different creations nestled together on one amazing plate.…
Avoid wine pairing. I went to the Everest with several friends to celebrite my birthday. The food was not bad, although for a restaurant of this level I expected much more. It does not compare with some of the other Chicago restaurants of similar price range. The service was average and not particularly attentive. Again, I would expect more for a place of this type. Most significantly, we had the degustation with wine pairing and the wine selection was aweful. I could have chosen better wines to match the food, and I don't claim any credentials in wine. The most memorable aspect of this meal was that the wine selection was terrible, making the meal below average at best. I would not go back there.…
