Editorial Review for 676 Restaurant & Bar – by John Gerard McLaughlin
The Scene
A fanciful Jack and the Beanstalk-sized vine with glass petals twines along a moonscape ceiling past a long bar and open kitchen, leading to a dining area divided in two by a curtain of translucent candy-colored glass squares. The high arched windows offer sparkling treetop views of Michigan Avenue, adding drama to the intimate space glammed up by high-backed chairs, chandeliers and white table linens.
The Food
Diverse offerings such as a raw bar, charcuterie and cheese plates, flatbreads and a good old-fashioned Chicago strip steak characterize this upscale American brasserie. An attentive and friendly waitstaff happily educates diners on the origin of the flavors they're experiencing, like the volcanic chili powder and smoked paprika oil heating up the baby octopus appetizer, or the microgreens--basically maturing sprouts--lacing a sausage and asiago cheese flatbread that spills over the plate. Even a standard like roasted flounder has a secret: piquant Piquillo peppers.

After reading the reviews, my husband and I made a reservation at the 676 Restaurant & Bar for a special dinner during our vacation to Chicago. We were incredibly disappointed! We were crammed into a corner by the window with the next table just inches away from us. The service was awful - every time the waitress came to our table, which wasn't often, she had mixed up our order. To top it all off, the food was mediocre at best. Don't waste your time and money.

I love this place. Great atmosphere, great food and great service. Everything on the menu is delicious. Wine selections are wonderful. I was a little reluctant to try 676 as it is in a hotel (Omni Chicago) however this is one of my favorite spots in the city. Highly recommended.
