   Very pleasant setting with dim ambient lighting made it a very cozy and comfortable dinner. Salmon salad was incredible. A bit disappointed in my Kansas City T-bone. A bit chewy and lackluster flavor for 60$.

   The dinner was great. Reasonable valet parking. The best thing though, was the music after dinner, provided by Edgar Gabriel and Fred Simon. Even though there was a wedding reception going on nearby, we spent a very enjoyable evening listening to them. Would come back to hear them again and eat dinner at the bar!

    Cocktail I had wasn’t that flavourful and the server was nice, but service wasn’t outstanding, just good. They do have a small menu though but it is good value. Food was good, salads not so much. Bonus points for being open late and open on Easter Sunday.

    The lobster thermidor tasted like I swallowed ocean water it was so salty. They replaced it with the bone in pork chop and which was still not as tender as i would expect. But the staff at the bar was awesome

    The afternoon opened with the first two guests to arrive waiting for 15 minutes for two basic cocktails (screwdriver and bloody Mary) at the bar. After all six of us arrived for it reservation, they had to put tables together still in an empty dining--they didn't prepare. After it was set, the "hostess" simply walked back to the front podium and pointed to the table across the room and told us we "could sit there. " We were greeted promptly by our server. First round of cocktails took 15 minutes to arrive (three mimosas and one vodka/soda--far from 15-minutes-to-make cocktails). One glass has lipstick on it--typically the number one lookout for a bartender on a wine glass or flute. For food, we ordered a breakfast bread basket with butter to start. The basket was quickly dropped off--no side plates or requested butter. The food came in and saved the day. We all had different dishes and we're all exceptionally pleased with our brunch food. Six dishes, all getting two thumbs up. The atmosphere was a bit cave like fire a Sunday brunch. Sat in the corner, away from windows, a more lit daytime atmosphere would've been better.

    When creating the reservation I made a special request, only to arrive to the restaurant and see that my request was not honored/met. The service was just okay, My date and I had yo wait an unordinary long time for simple things like bread and water. The food was tasty, and the portion size was not bad for the price. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant, but warn you to beware of slow service and the chance of your “special request” not being followed through on!

    The hotel is next to my office so I dine or drink there occasionally. The Grill is okay. The offerings are hit and miss. Hits: Excellent bartenders. This is a great place to meet for after work drinks if you want to meet with someone and actually want to hear what they have to say. Martinis, real martinis, not a fruity or chocolatey cocktail served in an up glass, are deftly made. Of course, they come at a price, but you really shouldn't be downing more than two anyway. True 10 ounce drinks. I also had an excellent non-alcohol mocktail . . . flavor was great but it felt like a $12 glass of pop. I have had the Caesar salad and added chicken a couple of times. One of the best. Steak frites was great, the aioli on the side had an odd tang. Frites were perfect. Had a steak there once (I wasn't paying for it) and was underwhelmed. Same pricing as the myriad steakhouses dotting downtown's street . . . without aging, without proper preparation. Simply my opinion. You want a steak, go to Steak 48. Misses: Brussels sprout sound intriguing, but have been a bowl of mush the two times I have tried them. Way overcooked. Won't be a third. A lunch outing had me wanting to try the "Italian Beef" sandwich for $21. It was ill-conceived. No hint of flavor. It was simply a tough roast beef sandwich on a greasy ciabatta accompanied by the worst giardiniera I've ever tasted. The waitress assured me if I didn't like it, it'd be replaced. After she dropped off the sandwich, her offer was moot as she never came back to check on us. Service: Great to not at all great. Aforementioned issue aside, service is friendly. Management always seems aloof. Our waitress on this visit was awesome. Bartenders, again, excellent. The staff does not seem trained for the price level. You will learn nothing about wine offerings. Nor am I certain that they have a meeting prior to each service. Everything seems to be on the fly. All in all, good option for business. But a steakhouse is better.

    The food was good but our service wasn't what it should have been. Our waiter was not very helpful. We had to keep asking for information regarding specials and prices of market items. He didn't even ask what temp one of is wanted our steaks at. We had to call him back and ask him. The timing of food was also off. We spent a lot of time waiting with no one checking on us.

    Wine is way, WAY overpriced. Laughably so. Service was pretty slow, food was okay, ambience meh (it’s part of a hotel lobby). For all of the great places Chicago has to offer, I would not go back here. The Pappy Old Fashioned was fantastic though.
