Went to State and Lake before a show at the Chicago Theater. We were spending the night at The Wit and this experience exceeded all expectations of your typical "hotel restaurant". Food was amazing, service was excellence, and the drinks were delicious. Would highly recommend overall. Just don't accidentally eat all of the garlic bread fondue like I did! It was too good to stop even though I knew I was full haha.

The burger and fries was delicious and cooked perfectly just how I wanted it. Soup and salad was also great. It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but the location is good for walking over to the Chicago Theater. I didn’t love the multiple tv screens but the volume was low so it wasn’t a problem.

Service was very sweet and kind. It is my sister’s birthday and they gave her a card, signed by many people and a slice of one of the best carrot cakes.

The food was great, but our server forgot to order some of our food. We had to ask other waiters for help.
