Industrial-chic restaurant in the Hotel Felix.. An intentionally rugged look--exposed concrete walls, distressed floors--gives the angular dining room of this River North hotel-meets-neighborhood restaurant a relaxed, un-stuffy feel. The mid-priced menu of contemporary small plates furthers that impression. Omelets and quiche kick-start mornings, though late-risers still benefit from flatbreads and heirloom veggie-packed salads and sandwiches. Sharable charcuterie, skewers and citrusy, slow-baked salmon hold their own against the globe-trotting wine list, which offers more than 15 options by the glass.
