Diner Reviews

"I thought this hotel restaurant would be a white tablecloth place. At 5:30 PM they were out of the specials! What's up with that? Service was scattered and perfunctory. Randolph St. prices ($32 per entre) with a Denny's ambience."

"Upon walking into an empty restaurant for Easter Brunch I was initially filled with worry. That was quickly eased by the terrific food, wonderful service and terrific atmosphere created by the Team @ Dine. I feel 100% confident referring anyone looking for a great eclectic brunch and a wonderful time. One note - don't look for it on Madison because it is almost impossible to find, look on Halsted!"

"Great place to dine while visiting Chicago. Perfectly located inside the Crowne Plaza Chicago a Metro hotel."

"When our party arrived, there was no one to seat us. Literally, it seemed like no one was working here. There was one group there, so I know it was open...but I still felt pretty silly for having made a reservation. After a few awkward minutes we decided that even if we eventually got seated it was going to be weird being 20% of the people there, so we left. I gave the food a 3, but only because for all I know it could be amazing."

"I like the idea of it being scratch kitchen, but overall the food was only ok. Some restaurants in hotel overcome the "hotel" feeling. Think Fillini or the Palm, this does not. Our server was good. I was looking forward to finding somewhere new especially since it also open for lunch and close to my office. Chances are I won't return."

"Don't waste your time going here. I dropped over $50 on what was at best an overpriced Chili's (I'd rather eat Chili's). The staff did not understand the menu. My friend ordered crab dip, which seemed to just be spinach dip. When we asked the waitress if this was crab dip, she wasn't sure either and took it back to the kitchen. They told her it was crab (but then gave us a few chunks of crab to mix in - thanks). They brought lunch after having just given us appetizers. I ordered crab cake for lunch and was expecting a crab cake like I receive at other Chicago restaurants. What I got was a fried breaded crab cake that I could have gotten from the frozen aisle of the grocery store along with oil soaked fries. I would never go here again."

"I did not realize the location was inside a hote. Where everything was ok, nothing was over the moon special. With so many other great eateries in the same area this was the only option for late brunch for the time selected. The lobster roll was great. The crab cake not so great. I brought half of it home and never had the desire to finish it off. Two days Later it went into the trash. I could not get pass all the breading. Not what I expected for a 1000 point opening table selection."

"Sorry but this place was a disappointment ... Pasta dish I had included radicchio which added a bitter taste ... Other diner had a BLT with soggy fries. Very pricey too... 1 $16 and $12 for sub par food.. No thank you."

"I found this place via Open Table and the overall experience was pretty lack luster. Two of us had the steak an eggs tacos and I was amazed that neither the eggs, steak, or salsa had any flavor, I have to imagine you would have to try to have that happen with all three. The french toast was leftover hamburger buns and fairly flavorless as well. The price points were very reasonable, however I can think of 10 diners with the same price points and fantastic food. Again, none of it was down right bad, it was just wasn't down right good."

"My expectations were much higher then what was delivered. Not worth the cost, food was poor. with so many food choices in Greek Town it was not worth it."
Dined on 7/20/2013
"The service was wonderful; from the time we sat down until the time we left, the waitress was very attentive and personable. The manager stopped by twice to ask how everything was; it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious as usual, there were a variety of items to choose from."

"Me and my siblings attended Dine for Mother's Day Sunday. When we got there, brunch was over and we were unaware. At first, we didn't quite understand the menu because we had looked at the menu prior to going and we didn't know there would be a special menu for Mother's Day.. But, this amazing male waiter brought us out the menu which made ordering so much easier and he was really sweet, kind and polite. The service was amazing and the people really take pride in making sure their customers are comfortable and well served. The Food was DELICIOUS!! By far the best pancakes I've tasted in a long while. The prices were pretty great as well and we were given roses for Mother's Day. We will be dining there soon again in the future!"

"This is a great place to eat before attending a concert at Merit School of Music. It is 2 1/2 blocks from the school. The service is friendly and the food is good -- especially the bean soup!"
Dined on 5/10/2013
"As we walked in we were greated by a hostess shich seemed yo ne annoyed with seating us. Thank goodness our server was great. The food was ok. There wasn't many options for breakfast. They didn't even have the standard 2 eggs and toast. All in all felt it was over priced for what I got."
Dined on 4/21/2013
"This was one of the worst breakfast experiences we ever had. After being seated, we waited for over 10 minutes to get coffee and water, the breakfast bar was very limited in its selection and the first time through most of the serving dishes were empty. My companion decided he wanted something off the menu and we waited another 20 minutes before getting menus and an order taken. For the price charged for the breakfast bar I was expecting a few more options or choices or at least one or two dishes that were different and/or unique. This is not a location we would return to anytime soon."

"Dine is what it is: a hotel lobby restaurant. With so many real restaurants in the area, why bother?"
Dined on 3/30/2013
"Surprisingly, the food was delicious! At first I was skeptical, but the food was really great and I would recommend the scallops!"
Dined on 3/14/2013
"Excellent Service. Great comfort food and the best Mac and Cheese I have ever eaten, plus you get to custom design it."
Dined on 2/23/2013
"I loved this place. Food was great & such great service! & it doesn't hurt your pockets."
Dined on 2/14/2013
"I wouldn't say that I was that crazy about Dine. It's in a hotel and there's no real ambiance about the place. It kind of reminded me of like a glorified diner. Our service was ok although it did take 10 minutes or so to get a diet coke and my pasta, the bucatini was VERY bland. I could have gone home and made plain noodles at my house if I had wanted."
Dined on 2/6/2013
"The tomato basil soup with grilled cheese croutons was delish! Over-all, had a very enjoyable evening."
Dined on 12/24/2012
"There's a reason no one was there. Terrible service. Food was a bit pasty."
Dined on 11/27/2012
"We had been wanting to try Dine, but didn't realize it was in a hotel (not a swanky hotel - the Crowne Plaza on the edge of 90/94). Went for brunch - menu was ok. Seemed like lots of folks who were staying at the hotel, rather than neighborhood folks, some with luggage. We ordered omelettes which were good but nothing special and a little greasy. Had to hunt our server down to place our order, but the manager more than made up for it by checking in on us and being very warm and friendly. There is lot parking bu the majority is valet - complimentary, but you still have to tip. Very few "free" spaces in the lot."

"We chose Dine for the second year in a row for our Thanksgiving dinner. The buffet was very good, service attentive and atmosphere very pleasant."
Dined on 11/22/2012
"The Thanksgiving buffet was a great disappointment for the price. The soup was good. Salad was good. The turkey OK. The dressing was inedible. Mashed potatoes mediocre. Pies were bland and obviously mass produced, previously frozen types. My waitress was sweet and obviously gave up a holiday with family to be there. I had one drink that was so strong I couldn't drink more than 1/4 of it. The meal was way overpriced for the value."
Dined on 11/22/2012
"The Thanksgiving buffet was absolutely awful. It was all the traditional dishes, but they were terrible and uninspiring. It was a very forgettable and regrettable experience, and based on this, I will not choose to come back."
Dined on 11/22/2012
"I have wanted to try Dine for some time because a perusal of its menu listes some interesting items. The experience, however, was terrible. It was a Friday evening--before a very popular concert at a near-by venue. Even though we had a reservation, it was evident from the moment we walked in, that the restaurant was completely unprepared for the number of patrons who had arrived, nor was it even ready for people such as ourselves who had made reservations. In short, there was only one waiter for the entire establishment. Food was ok but I will never go back. These people didn't have a clue about appropiate service. Avoid at all costs."

"This comfort-food restaurant was very modernly styled and had lounge areas as well as formal dinner tables. Bree, the hostess, went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was fantastic! My burger was juicy and cooked perfectly. My husband had the meatloaf and he said it was better than mine! :0)"
Dined on 6/16/2012
"Dine is one of those restaurants where the decor is retro and slightly worn, though the food is outstanding and the service is wonderful. I ordered the meatloaf which is listed on the menu under the heading "Comfort Foods" and believe me, it was well-prepared and very delicious! Our waiter was knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly - we loved the place and hope to go back soon!"

"Nothing was offensive just ok food. This is a restaurant inside a hotel, not freestanding."

"My family and I went to Dine for the Easter brunch - It was fabulous! I would definitely go there again!"
Dined on 4/8/2012
"Enjoyed Easter brunch at this hotel restaurant. The Easter bunny and crayons/coloring sheets were a nice touch for the children. Buffet style with nice selection of enjoyable dishes including carving station. Wait staff could have been more informative and accomodating. Free valet parking was a nice and unexpected touch."
Dined on 4/8/2012
"Surprisingly awesome food!!! The place however needs a makeover to match the food!"
Dined on 4/2/2012
"This is great for meetings, although the decor felt more like cafeteria."
Dined on 3/7/2012
"I have no real gripes about this restaurant. The food was ok. We had soup, calamari, two steaks (filet, and flat iron) and wine and a martini. Soup was tomato tuscany... EhThe calamari we received was ok, quite a large portion. The steaks were cooked to order. The service was fine. I guess I was expecting more. It was good, ok in price, just thought the website and reviews made it sound more exciting. I would eat here agin. I probably would bring my parents though more of their style then mine for a date night."
Dined on 2/25/2012
"We had very good food and our waiter was very nice and knowledgable. But the atmosphere was lackluster and very few people were there. Perhaps it was the location and the economy. I'd recommend the restaurant because we had good food, but for a special night out, it was not what we'd hoped for."
Dined on 2/25/2012
"One of the best meals I've ever had. Threw foods was delicious and served beautifully plated..and hot! The service was excellent. One od my new favorite places."

"DINE is an excellent location for any occasion, especially client meetings. The Staff are courteous and the food is outstanding!"
Dined on 1/25/2012
"Good food and nice drink list. Good place for large group dinners if you make reservations. The service wasn't very attentive, and we found ourselves waiting for the waiter and I had to go find him a couple of times because he didn't come by again. When I saw him walking back and forth from other tables, he never looked over to see if we were OK."
