We've always enjoyed O'Brien's and are bracing ourselves for the 18 months it will be closed before reopening in the new hotel.

The food was good/okay depends on what you get. Loud and the service was not that good. They didn't have change for cash given we could give a credit card or we had to wait till they ran to the bank.

The hostess was a bit of a mess, and thought we were coming an hour later. Then didn't check us in, so Open Table thought we'd skipped our reservation, which we did not. Food was fine - very casual. Service was slow to start, but then fine. Great views of the water. Ideal for a quick lunch outside!

It was Fathers Day. All our kids came in town. Took forever for drink orders from there it never got better. Waiter was below average but in his defense he had way to many tables. He was taking care of sidewalk plus the inside. Mixed up dinner orders It got to the point the water boy was trying to help us with food orders. It is too bad. I was hoping for a gem in the neighborhood.

O'Brien's remains a good choice, particularly for before or after Second City performances. And either eat outside or get a window seat. Old Town remains one of the best locations for people watching in Chicago, and in addition to their food, O'Briens gives you a front row seat.
