   15 minutes after being seated we were told by the waiter that the chef had walked off the job and we would not be served. We were told to find another place to eat. So we left and went down the street to another restaurant. the menu offers breakfast, but we were told in the morning that no breakfast was available. would never try this restaurant again.

   Made a reservation and arrived early so we sat at the bar for a drink where we would have stayed if the music was not so close and loud. When we were ready to be seated we had to ask 2 hotel personnel where to check in, were pointed towards a hostess stand that was empty both times. We were finally able to flag down a waitress who told us that she wasn’t told of any reservations other than a large party. She took us over to the bar and had a conversation w the bartender. We were told we could sit outside or at the bar but would have to order at the bar either way. We sat outside and one person went to the bar to order after 15 minutes of looking at the menu. At the bar he was told that food could not be ordered from the bar to the outside area since there was someone else assigned to the outside area. In the 15 minutes we sat outside when reviewing the digital menu no one had come over, nor did anyone stop by in the next 15 minutes. We ended up leaving.

   Glad we went to Current for restaurant week. Food was excellent & nicely presented. Two large very tasty artichokes for appetizer, followed by very delicious scallops on a bed of polenta with roasted broccoli & cauliflower. We were stuffed but could not resist the warm chocolate cake with carmel ice cream for dessert. It’s a very casual spot but their food was as good as you can get anywhere.

   Terrible. This place isn’t even a real restaurant. More like a nightclub with zero customer service. Food, when it finally arrived, was fantastic.

   So we were the only table in there on a Tuesday night. Made reservations, it was my birthday. Service was almost non existent. I know everywhere is short but they had at least a manager and waiter, and we were barely asked if we wanted another drink. Food was redeeming.

   Rude, uninterested staff. Must be because of bad management. No one attended to us for 15+ minutes. We weren’t seated, even after asking the front desk for help.

    Ordered a charcuterie plate and it was difficult to eat. Led us to not order anything more. Service was okay but when it came time for the check our server was nowhere to be found for about 30 minutes. They had a DJ playing music so if you enjoy that atmosphere, you could go for drinks, but also keep that in mind if you’re trying to have a conversation.

    We decided to come here for dinner at the last minute on a Sunday evening. We are glad we did! The staff and manager could not have been nicer, accommodating our specific request to sit outside. We ordered the pulled pork sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. We'll be back soon to try their pizza and other menu items that caught our attention. Drinks were good, too.

    Took over an hour to get our dinner. After inquiring about the delay (almost an hour before food arrived) we were told “sorry” they had a big group downstairs they had to take care of first. Servers were good but apparently had no control over the food delay. I had reservations for 4 for dinner and was only offered bar seating which was not what we expected for dinner at the W. Very disappointed.

    Simply walking to Dahl & DaLuca you encounter an ambiance of elegance and reverence of the dining experience. Our server was excellent and timed appearance of our foods relaxed but timely order. Our wine was excellent. The meal ended with our favorite Port wine. Delicious. We lingered just long enough to be introduced to Lisa Dahl who was gracious and confident i That she’d done this well, as well as her 4 other restaurants! We’d enjoyed the pizza at Pisa Lisa the day before and enjoyed it for breakfast the next morning. I’m so happy I bought her book which expresses her passions.

    Good food, not a large menu. Our server, Nick, was great and very attentive. We started with the charcuterie board and chicken tenders (chicken wings were unavailable). Entrees were pork chops and scallops with deliciously creamy polenta. Desserts were peach crisp and chocolate pot de creme. Everything was very good. Great place to visit after a walk along Lake Michigan or Lake Shore Drive.

    Our server Patrick was outstanding! We were heading to a show and had been held up by traffic. We asked for a rush on our food and bill. He not only got everyone's order in quickly he also was prompt with the check. We also had an elderly person with us who needed an easy sitting arrangement to get in and out of. He was kind enough to seat us next to the handicap ramp. Food was great and although situated in the hotel lobby, it didn't feel like it due to the architecture of the room. Definitely recommend!

    It was our anniversary and we were staying in the hotel so we decided to try it. Bad idea. Service sucked big time. And also the menu online does not match the menu in the restaurant. Most unfriendly waitress ever. Also weird club vibe they are trying to give off with waitresses in low cut shirts and booty shorts. Pretty classless, especially for dinner. And never aknowleged that it was our anniversary. I had to send my food back cuz it tasted so bad. What a sad disappointing experience.

    Way over priced. Not sure how I convinced myself to spend the money on food with no flavor that can be easily replicated at home. Had a smoker seated next to us even though smoking wasn't allowed in our area. The waitress informed the smoker it was ok to smoke here until someone complained, so we quickly ate and went back to our overpriced hotel room and looked out the dirty window onto Lake Michigan.

    Absolutely awful experience. Went for July 4th only to be told AFTER we were seated that they were offering a limited menu that day that consisted of chicken wings, pizza, and hamburgers. Oh and a salad and chocolate chip cookies as appetizers and dessert. That's it, that was their entire menu for what was supposed to be a nice evening out at the W. No warning, no advance notice. No specialty cocktails either because that was too much work. I'm not sure why they even bothered to open that day. 0/10.

    This was a horrible experience. The restaurant is in the lobby of the hotel. There was someone doing a reading in the lobby by the bar and it was so loud with sound speakers that we couldn't even talk to each other. We ended walking out of the restaurant. Would never recommend this place.

    For some reason only bar food was available (7/3/17) because the chefs were at the "taste", which was still a few days away. We ordered calamari, cheese plate, bacon wrapped figs as well as two drinks. The food was mediocre at best and not worth the price by any means- I won't be ever returning... Note: I live in Chicago and had been wanting to stay at the W and eat here for years so huge disappointment. Later that night we had some more food at Timothy O'Tooles a few blocks away which is not my scene at all- but was SO DELCIOUS- should have gone there in the first place.
