Food is really good if you're craving something creative with attention to detail. I was skeptical going into it but I was impressed with the quality of the food and the very creative dishes. Obviously the cook understands food very much. Marguerita flatbread was awesome as was the cheese plate. Prices are a bit steep but not a deal-breaker. If you're hungry, it will cost some bucks to get full.
Review Source:676 Restaurant had everything I was looking for from the view of Michigan Avenue to the food and the service.
I thought the place itself would look a lot different, because it definitely reminds me of a restaurant hotel ( and I don't like hotel décor to begin with).
We went during Restaurant Week and you definitely get your money's worth for a four-course meal at $45/person.
The presentation of the food from the appetizers all the way to dessert was consistent, looked great, and was clean.
My server ( I wish I remembered his name) was amazing from beginning to end. He always checked up on us, suggested great food, and was always smiling.
The food was great. We were full after the second course, brought a lot of the food home.
We ordered dessert, but they brought out an extra piece of cake with a candle for my birthday, which I thought was very thoughtful.
We would suggest this place to all our friends, and cannot wait to go back in March because the manager said there would be a new menu.
676 Restaurant & Bar has one of the best views overlooking the Magnificent Mile. Â I see this restaurant as a hidden gem that focuses on locally grown vegetables, locally sourced meats, and homemade everything else. Â Unfortunately, the food can either be amazing or very disappointing. Â I have honestly had some of my favorite appetizers at this restaurant, but I have also experienced some entrees that I would never want again. Â It is a great classy atmosphere and a great place for larger groups to come and enjoy a nice meal but use this entry to stay away from some of their dining options!
Review Source:Usually don't take the time to review a place, but here it is...
PRO's: Atmosphere and ambiance is great. Very elegant and zen, looks out right over Michigan Ave.
CON's: Service. I totally understand that servers have more than one table and being one myself, sometimes you cannot always be available. I can let that go once, twice, probably three times throughout a meal and I won't worry about. We had to wait 25 minutes between placing our drink order and then meal order. Then to top off the night, we waited a 30-40 minutes to get our check. Granted there was a party of 12 next to us, but come on...maybe there was a private party behind a secret passage in the wall the guy was attending to, I don't know...
Finally when I got my check, he charged me for the filet when I had gotten the Strip. I was too fed up at this point to mention anything, just wanted to get the hell out of there.
Recommendations: Go down to Ruth Chris, pay  a couple extra bucks to enjoy yourself. Won't be going back to this place unless I have to.
The best part is the cheese and charcuterie. Â Great presentation and interesting pairings with the jams, chutneys, etc. Â The rest of the menu is pretty good. Â The big downside is that it looks and feels like a hotel restaurant. Â The chairs are like what you would find in an airport Marriott ballroom. Â And very slow service...
Review Source:Was recently here for a friend's bridal shower and everything went off so well! The brunch menu was all-vegetarian and the each of the dishes was great!
The place is spacious, and decorated elegantly without being kitschy, the service was a little slow but everything else was wonderful!
This place is great in service, ambiance, food, and drinks.
Their salad with goat cheese, nuts and balsamic vinaigrette is amazing!
The lamb is a flavor experience for the palette - cooked to perfection.
Watermelon Mojito - great balance of the fresh melon with the tequila.
This restaurant knows flavor - and isn't shy to show it.
Came here with a group of friends during restaurant week and left both very full and very impressed. The starter plates - selected meats and cheeses with an accompanying spread or sauce for each included some very inspiring pairings. For the appetizer, I had an arugula/goat cheese/blueberry vinagrette salad that was tasty if not particularly interesting, but my friend's tomato/white bean soup was truly special. My entree of roast beef was delicious - perfectly tender, cooked in a tangy reduction, and accompanied with fresh vegetables, and my other friend ordered a hearty pork dish that was great. Dessert was less memorable.
Review Source:Went here with a group of friends to mark the end of Restaurant week (sniff). I had never heard of this place before, but after dining here last night I came out impressed. My week of the never ending food coma(aka restaurant week) ended with a bang.
The place is on the fourth floor of the Omni hotel, so walking in you get the feel of a "hotel restaurant" (I felt like I was in the middle of a business trip or something). The space is quite large, and luckily our group got seated at a table overlooking Michigan Avenue. It was quite the view, especially for an early dinner on a Sunday night. Service was great; there was minimal wait between courses.
Now for the food. The best part for me was the meat and cheese appetizer; they brought out for the table two boards with different types of meat/fish and cheeses; aged cheddar, brie and others on one board and sausage, bacon & salmon on the other. Each also had its own spread, sauce or chutney that were in these tiny jars (I guess they had elves make them?) and served on a pita or cracker. The fun part was mixing and matching the food with a different spread. Oh, the flavors.
I ordered the whitefish for a main course, served on a bed of apple slices. I didn't get what the sauce was that went with it but I loved the entire dish. The side caesar salad was good too. Finally, the pear cake that I got for dessert was topped with whipped cream and served in a glass jar on top of a piece of wood cut in a circle(literally). It was a nice ending to a fantastic dinner.
The ambiance of the place suggests that this place is somewhat pricey. However I wouldn't mind coming back if there was a discount involved.
My friends and I went here to experience Chicago Restaurant Week. Â Now, Restaurant Week can be hit or miss with the menus being smaller or less than good version of the full price menu. Â I am pleased to say that was not the case here at 676 Restaurant and Bar. Â Now, we came in expecting to pay $33 for 3 courses, but we got four. Â They changed it so now you get 4 courses for $33 and 4 courses (with premium entree) for $44. Â The Meat and Cheese appetizer was really good. Â Each cheese or meat was paired with a sauce, chutney, spread that came in cute little jars. Â They were all delicious with my favorites being the goat cheese and the lamb bacon. Â Then came the bread basket and the soup or salad course. Â I chose the potato soup and it was an entertaining presentation. Â The waiter poured the soup over the potatoes right in front of me. Â With only 2 courses complete, everyone at the table was already full, and we haven't even gotten to the entree. Â Now, this was a surprise. Â Our entrees seemed to be full sized entrees, which can be around the $28. Â I couldn't believe it. Â I got the Pigs and Chips option and the pork chop was really good, the pork belly (2) was mouth-wateringly delicious, and the sausage was great. Â This was all presented on a cutting board which kinda gave me the feeling of being at home with my grandma in the kitchen. Â There were also rosemary chips which I didn't get to eat a lot of since I was full. Â My friends got the half chicken and whitefish respectively and loved theirs. Â We couldn't even finish so we had half of our entrees wrapped up. Â They gave us our leftovers in very chic takeaway boxes with handles. Â Finally, the dessert came. Â I got the pear cake and it came in a jar. Â It was delicious. Â Everything was delicious and I feel like we robbed off the restaurant with the amount we paid for restaurant week. Â The presentation for everything was really interesting since they seemed to want to give a rustic feel to the food like cutting boards instead of plates or jars instead of bowls. Â You also forgot you were in a hotel restaurant. Â The service was impeccable, the food was really great, and the ambiance was amazing. Â I would definitely come here again for restaurant week or if someone else was paying. Â This is a great option to dining on the Mag mile that's not a chain restaurant. Â
Come for restaurant week if you can, but if you have the funds, come here just to dine. Â The experience is well worth it.
Yum yum yum in my tum tum! Â I went to 676 with my husband for a late lunch. Â The restaurant was pretty empty (only one other table) so we got sat right away, and in front of the wonderful view of Michigan Ave. Â Ambiance points for that. Â
The water glasses were really dirty w/ crumbs and such floating in the water, but other than that our experience was awesome. Â We started with a meat plate, Lamb Bacon, Goat Pepperoni and Buffalo Sausage, the Lamb Bacon was my favorite, it was served with a delicious Mint Dijon Mustard, SO GOOD!
For our entree, we split the Confit Duck Flatbread and the Angus Beef Brisket Melt. Â The Brisket was AMAZING! Â A huge portion, unless you have a big appetite, remember to share, homemade pickels were good (not a huge pickle fan but def enjoyed these), the bread was even flavorful! Â I was not a huge fan of the Confit Duck Flatbread, the duck was shredded which made the already gamey meat quite tough, and the apple cider vinagarette was very very sweet. Â
All in all we had a good experience, the food was good, and the prices were decent for downtown Chicago. Â We will return again for dinner next time.
We went to 676 on Christmas Day. We had a 3rd person in our party and overall it was great food and a good experience. The service was well done but did have a hint of hotel service to it...(676 is in the Omni Hotel) but got the job done.
Perhaps my favorite part of the prix fixe menu was the charcuterie plate for the table to share. We all tried the items together and it really set us up for a great rest of the meal. By the time we left we were all completely stuffed but just as you should be on Christmas Day. The other courses were very good as well and they did have a large selection of craft beers as well as mocktails for me.
I'm not sure we will be back to 676 in the near future due to the sheer volume of places in Chicago that we want to try, Â but we always appreciate a chef and restaurant that considers where ingredients come from and 676 certainly did that.
This review is based on going in for cocktails:
Pros:
Friendly staff
Creative ideas for cocktails
Overlooks Michigan Ave and has a view of the John Hancock Tower
Cons:
Pricey
Drink menu is pretty small, so on you to come up with some ideas
Very limited couch space, some of which has deep seats that are not comfortable
Great view of Michigan ave from the dining room. Â Food and service were great in my opinion. Â A little pricey(15-20/head for brunch) given location and fact that it is in the Omni hotel.
The bread basket they start you with has what appear to be luxurious home made wheat thins that are delicious!
The burger was the best sit down restaurant burger I have had in the last year. Â The burger was fat, juicy, and nicely charred on the outside. Â Instead of fries, they met my vegetable request and gave me a side of carrots, brocollini, and asparagus that was perfectly steamed and salted.
Â
The initial reason I came was to try the PB&J waffle panini. Â This is a very novel concept. Â I believe they use homemade waffles, fill them with peanut butter and jelly, then press the waffle slices together in a panini press. Â I thought this was good, but it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. Â Either my expectations were too high or the burger was so good it overshadowed the waffle sandwich.
Regardless, if you don't mind this price point, I highly recommend 676 in the Omni. Â I will be back.
Delish!
Stunning view of city with wall to wall windows...So as soon as you walk in your in for a good experience..Greeted by the staff in a very genuine way .. ordered food & served all in VERY timely manner... The food is prepared perfectly and looks so beautiful you dont want to eat it lol
Mother's Day brunch without any moms :(
My bf's aunt was busy and neither of our moms live around here so we decided to take ourselves out for a nice Mother's Day!
$60/person brunch that included huge cocktail shrimps, delicious homemade smoked salmon and charcuterie, melt in your mouth short ribs and OYSTERS!
My boyfriend literally ate 2 dozen oysters and I ate 3 pounds of meat, therefore this was the best mother's day brunch EVER.
The reviews on Yelp lead me to try this restaurant. They are known for their locally sourced food and interesting spins on otherwise traditional dishes. While waiting to be seated, we perused the bar menu appetizers. I didn't realize these wouldn't be offered in the dining room and if I came back, I would probably stay in the bar and have snacks & drinks.
In the dining room, we had Heirloom Tomato Confit -- which all we could taste was the oil-- not the favorite at our table, but we liked that it was served in a glass jar. We also had the Lake Erie Walleye & Crab "Cakes" which were deep-fried and tasted more like fish than crab. The Shrimp Flatbread was delicious - served on a cutting board and perfectly crisp crust.
The other favorite was the bread service - crackers and fresh bread. Simple, but delicious.
The atmosphere was nice, they had an older crowd from the hotel dining that evening so the energy was low. Request a table with a view - great people watching!
Strange how close this restaurant is to my office and I never had the chance to go. Well tonight, I finally did. Thanks to a special event where Bordeaux wine makers came & showcased their wines, we had our own prix fixe menu, with 2 choices each for appetizer and dessert, and the short rib entree.
I started with the tomato and Michigan white bean soup, which was beautifully presented and boldly flavored. I usually shy away from the strong taste of goat cheese, but the goat cheese on the long "crouton" actually blends in perfectly with the strong soup. I found only 1 bean in my soup, which was actually a plus in my book as I'm not much of a bean person. My only quibble with the soup was how dangerous the long crisp crouton was, perched precariously on the bowl. I made a big mess around my plate when I tried to transfer it (ok...I'm just trying to blame someone else for my own clumsiness).
The short rib was one big hunk of meat, and oh-so-tender. The chef later came out and said they were shooting for "spoon-only" texture, no knife&fork needed. I totally agree. It had a beautiful & sweet sauce on it, paired with rainbow chard, sweet parsnip puree and some roasted root veggies. Chef even printed out several recipes on request. I'm just gonna say it had 15 ingredients, of which 7 are stocked in my kitchen. All in all, very impressed.
The only letdown was the dessert: chocolate truffle mousse cake. The "mousse" was heavy and flat, and the chocolate cake way too dense (though moist). Having had quite a few excellent chocolate desserts in a row in the past 2 months, I couldn't get through half of this one.
I'd be interested to come back and try more dishes, but I'll skip dessert.
676 is in the Omni Hotel on the 4th floor.  Little nervous about eating in a hotel restaurant  but let me assure you my nervousness was ridiculous.
Loved everything about this restaurant - the view of Michigan Avenue, the atmosphere (quiet yet stylish), attention to detail in quality of food and presentation. Â
We did Brunch (ordered off the menu instead of the buffet). Â Great way to spend the morning. Will definitely go back.
My favorite thing about Restaurant Week is that it leads me to places I wouldn't normally try.
My friend and I came here today for lunch and walked away stuffed and happy! Â We both opted to take advantage of the pre fixe Restaurant Week menu. Â Here's what we chose to delight our tastebuds;
First course:
- Butternut squash soup (me): This was incredibly flavorful and thick. Â I really could've had an entire meal of just that soup. Â The soup was poured over some pieces of pheasant and thin strips of apple. Â The combination of butternut squash and apple was perfect!
- 676 Salad (my budday): This salad looked phenomenal, with blueberries and goat cheese. Â
Second course:
- Lake Superior Whitefish Salad Melt with fries (me): Delicious. Â So freaking good. Â I could've eaten two of these sandwiches. Â Presentation is cute - the sandwiches come out on wood platters and the fries are in a basket that looks like a fryer. Â
- Turkey Panini Club with chips (my budday): This looked amazing, and was large enough so that my friend was able to take half of it home. Â The chips are cut so that they look like little waffle fries - yum!
Third course:
- S'mores Pudding (me): I am secretly a six year old who could eat s'mores all day. Â The toasted marshmallow was the perfect topping for this chocolate pudding/graham cracker concoction.
- Vanilla and Cinnamon Creme Brulee (my budday): When I come back to 676, I'm getting this. Â My friend got two little dishes of creme brulee - one vanilla and one cinnamon. Â Two chocolate hazelnut cookies came on the side.
Service was overall good, but we did have one minor glitch - my friend needed a soda refill and it appeared that she was forgotten. Â Besides that, everything was perfect! Â I would definitely come to 676 again, possibly for dinner next time!
So, I confess ~ I love food...not just any food either. Â I love really, really good food...and I had one of the best restaurant meals in my life here! Â
I have dined at French Laundry, Tru and many of the fabulous places in America...and I loved every minute of it. Â So, imagine my surprise when ~ for a mere $33 ~ I had a divinely delicious 3 Course Meal.
My friend had the Rice Soup~ it was served in a gorgeous odd shaped bowl with a yummy Spring Roll that said friend (who is a wonderful, chic and well traveled older man) pronounced it the best food he had ever tasted. Â
I had the Butternut Squash Soup ~ which was very, very good.
But, the dish that was practically orgasmic was the Walleye dish ~ yes, Walleye. Â This was the most flavorful, wonderfully cooked, delcious entree...ever! Â
While the dessert was yummy and another juxtaposition of flavors, the Walleye stole the show
Friend observed...if this is what the chef does for the budget meal, what are his other dishes like?  Hmmmmmmmm  we intend to find out!
2011 RESTAURANT WEEK REVIEW
Decided to try this place out, never have been here, mostly b/c it's a "hotel" restaurant on Michigan Ave and it never seemed that it was a go to place-
Got in right away w/ our reservations, place wasn't that packed, got seated next to the window, not a big deal but it helped when I had to wait forever for the first course to come out-
SETTING:
Hotel feeling, clouds painted on the ceiling and lights that change colors inside-It's amusing to look out the window and watch idiots try to run across Michigan Ave when they don't have the walk sign-Exposed kitchen that connects to the bar, kind of odd-
FOOD:
Did the 3 course meal, salad, short ribs and brownie-
Waited 15 minutes for my salad to come out, these weren't fancy salads, just normal green salads-I was starving and by the 10 minute mark I was like "come on!" Salad was good and fresh, so no complaint on the taste-
Entrees: the short rib, it only took about 8 minutes for it to come out, so not bad-It was very tender but it needed a lot of pepper to give it a seasoned taste-
Dessert: My brownie came as 2 sticks, like Twix bars in a mason jar, bottom filled with some whipped cream and I think caramel and I had to use a spoon that was almost the size of the jar to get it out, kind of pain and I got stuff all over my hands-
I know I won't dine here again, nor will I recommend it, was the food bad, no, is it memorable, no did it take forever...yes! Just very plain yet good hotel food for those who aren't used to the good places downtown to eat at-
The whole time I was mad that I didn't go to Mercadito or Merlo on Maple, places I wanted to try and have a feeling it would have been better-
I can't speak on the restaurant, but I did try the outdoor cafe. I ordered a turkey wrap and a pomegranate margarita that came in the form of a pomegranate martini, but that didn't bother me any. The food and drink came far quicker than I thought it would. And it looked pretty. I appreciate an attractive meal from time to time.
I'm pretty traditional, so reading some of the ingredients for their dishes made me pause at first, but I took a chance. The turkey wrap had apple on it...I typically keep my fruit and my sandwiches separate, but this worked. It blended well with the honey mustard to give the wrap a mild sweet flavor, and it made the sandwich taste even fresher. The martini consisted of POM juice, Patron, something else I forget, and cilantro salt.
Cilantro salt. Cilantro? Word?? It actually worked, gave the drink a kick, a little spiciness that I was digging.
So yay for taking chances! Maybe one of these days I'll venture inside to try the actual restaurant.
What a beautiful beautiful view into downtown Chicago. Majority of seats, I would say, are close to the window, so every seat is great. The decor is nice, colorful, but sophisticated. For all that, i added one more star.
The food was good - the dishes were flavorful..but that may have also because I Â kept choosing dishes with flavorful cheese haha. My favorite dishes were the crabcakes (but who doesn't love good crabcake) and the tomato and white bean soup. The truffle-y taste was great.
The staff was very nice, attentive, and helpful. The music was ...top hits. Great for the young ones like me..but it didn't go well with the decor and atmosphere of the place. It made me giggle haha.
Great Service, and really thats all that matters!
Soft, subtle, and full of liquor, my friend and I were waiting for our out of town guests staying at The Omni, and were pleasantly occupied by good drinks and great service!
I spotted a new tequila, the bar tender went ahead and let me try a couple without me even asking, and it worked because I ordered a good pour and will be buying some for my bar, ORO De Jalisco, it rocked!
She had a deeply poured wonderfully made Grey goose L'Orange and soda with lime, it was deep, and it was good!
I would catch a drink here again for sure!
Party of 4, Tuesday evening...only a few tables seated...this place was not busy at all
On the positive:
+ great view of Michigan Avenue
+ clean and spacious place
Room for Improvement:
- service is not that personal, rushed which was surprising with the low activity that night
- food is average
- over-priced for quality
There are better places in the city.
I like this place, if only for their cucumber mojitos. All I can say is-they rock. Everyone I was with ordered the pomegranate margarita, tasted my mojito, and then ordered that. It's incredible and basically gave me a foodgasm right there on the spot. Their flatbreads (esp. the shrimp one) are also delish and I loved the creme brulee. Yummy!
The staff was also very nice and gave the 7 of us a free shot in honor of my friend's bachelorette party!
I add this to my list of boring names for a restaurant/bar. Maybe about 15 years ago it was trendy to name a restaurant related to its address but now it's just lazy.
The restaurant is located in the Omni Hotel. You need to take the elevator to the 4th floor. The decor is nice yet plain but could be so much better to be congruent with the view and large space. It could be so much more romantic or hip after they serve dinner if they dim the lights - just to start.
The drinks are good. I had a mojito. My date ordered one of their signature fruity martinis. She seemed to enjoy it. She also ordered the foie gras and loved it.
Overall it was quiet and the staff was older. It's a nice place but I got the feeling that people over 40 would enjoy it more.
A great Valentine's day spot. Â Although that information is probably useless to anyone for the next 11 months.
It was nice to look out over Michigan Ave, despite having to look @ the dreadful Apple store. Â The prix fixe menu was absolutely delicious.
Only negative was they could probably use an interior decorator. Â It's like three different people came in and decorated different parts of the restaurant. Â But then again, I don't really care.
Well, I just don't like hotel restaurants. I mean it's fine if say....you are staying at a hotel out of town, but in Chicago? I don't know, I just prefer a bit more off the beaten path...but, alas I was invited for a networking dinner, and of course with the Restaurant Week menus all over the city (my only night I took advantage of it), this was a good option.
The strangest dish of the evening was the salmon over risotto. It was so citrusy it was all I could taste. It kind of icked me out, and honestly when I think back to the meal all I can do is make that sour face you get when you get a chunk of lemon. Yeah, that face. It kind of marred the whole meal, in my honest estimation. However the filet with ravioli over the top was delicious, and the tart at the end very large and creamy. (face slowly unpuckers)
So, for....
One glass of prosecco, one glass of wine, coffee, Diet Coke (god, I'm a beverage champion, eh?), the RW menu (3 courses)...and an added 20 perecent gratuity it was $80. A bit pricey for a random Tuesday evening, and I much rather would have spent it elsewhere...but, the company was stellar, and the service was nothing short of impeccable, so they win points there most definitely.
It's a hotel restaurant, and if you are staying (or live) downtown, it's definitely a decent option. However, I found it to be a bit bland in terms of character and intrigue, and at the price point it just doesn't stand out for me...even during Restaurant Week!
(end grouchy streak)
Came here for restaurant week looking forward to its pre-fixed SIX course meal. I had always passed by this restaurant on the way to work since its located right above my fave Express on Mich. Ave. Its blue and green lights always looked pretty from outside, and its huge windows made the view onto Mich. Ave. seem amazing.
Little did we know... first came the shrimp rolls- "try this amazingly creative new dish!" said the waiter- but really, it was a piece of shrimp that you had to cook urself on a hot stone, then wrap it in coleslaw and lettuce. Then, our next course came looking much larger than before, leaving us with high hopes. When we all realized at the same time that it was actually all FOUR courses at once- each course about the size of a plum, we were pretty disappointed...Three stars because the food tasted fine, but it was a meal for midgets! Who skimps out on salad too? The dessert ended up being our biggest course. Another downer- Saturday night and the place had about 5 couples total. Looks better/tastier from the outside...
Tucked away on the 4th floor of the Omni Hotel there's a good chance you don't even know that this restaurant exists. At least I had no idea and I consider myself "in the know" when it comes to the restaurant scene in Chicago.
The $32 prix fixe menu of 6 courses (yes, that's 6!) for restaurant week lured me in with a group of lovely ladies. Â I've been eating out for Chicago restaurant week every night this week so for the sake of fitting into my jeans I decided ahead of time I'd opt out of the 6 course menu and order something from their regular menu. Â Of course when I got there I was convinced that the courses were really small (really just samples) and to try it. And I"m always one to succumb to peer pressure when it comes to food. I may just need to buy bigger jeans...
I ended up being very happy with my 6 course menu...and it really was the perfect portion size. Â Here are all the details:
Hot Rock Shrimp: got to cook my own shrimp, which was fun. And tasty!
676 Green Salad: Full of almonds and goat cheese- yum!
Tomato and White Bean Soup: My favorite dish of the evening!
Seared Atlantic Salmon: Â Had a very strong citrus taste, which I didn't mind, but not for you if you're not a citrus lover
Chicken (was supposed to be filet, but I swapped it for chicken): Also delish
Navel Orange Tart for dessert: I didn't think I was a tart person, but maybe I am because this totally hit the spot!
The restaurant was pretty much empty (like i said...most people don't know about it) so we got lots of attention from our servers, although I thought there was a bit too much time between the shrimp course and everything else. Then again, we were a large party and when that's the case I always expect things to move along a bit slower. Â
They were extremely nice in letting us switch up things from the prix fixe dinner. Â Examples: chicken instead of filet for me, vegetarian options for a vegetarian member of our party, and a chocolate dessert instead of the tart for someone else. Although she really missed out on that tart!
I don't think I"ll ever get another deal here like I did last night, but now 676 has been put on my radar I may just go back to try the regular menu.
Stopped here simply because of the Yelp reviews. So glad I did! The fact that it's inside the Omni hotel really makes you feel exclusive. Prices aren't bad for what you get - it definitely feels like an impressive French influenced fine dining experience. The view over Michigan Ave makes for some of the best people-watching I've ever had.
My date and I ordered two items from the cheese menu and three "shareables." We could have definitely gotten by with two, but glad we got three because our last choice, the margherita flatbread, was outstanding. We expected the grilled scallops and crab cakes to be top notch (otherwise they'd leave them off the menu, right?) but the flatbread really surprised me. I honestly want to go back for a drink and that flatbread at this very moment. The perfectly salted and soft mozzarella, pesto... ahhh.
Check out the specials on their website too.
Stopped in here after a movie to grab some appetizers and drinks.
It's on the mag mile - so not necessarily my first choice, but for where it is - it's actually a pretty great place.
It's in the Omni hotel - overlooking Michigan avenue. Â We were seated right by the window and had an amazing view and for a Saturday night it was not busy at all.
The appetizers were good, we had crab cakes which were great - we also had something else that I can't remember so apparently it wasn't memorable. Â
Drinks were strong and great! Â Service was right on.
I had a gift certificate from a CS event so I decided to try brunch here. Â With the exception of the views, it was a little lame. Â
I often go online to look at the menu before a meal. Â I was pretty excited because there were so many options, many that appealed to me. Â When I saw the menu at the restaurant, I was confused. Â I could have sworn that there were many more options. Â My sister-in-law agreed. Â Sure enough, the online menu is completely different.
While the food is good, it really doesn't deserve a second visit with so many better brunch options in the city.
This is a pretty relaxed place and seemed very uncrowded at the time that we were there. I think it was even for valentine's day, but since returning for drinks in the loung area, it's one of my favorite places to hang out. They're not exceptionaly trained at making cocktails, but they sure get by. This place came highly recommended from a few friends of mine and i'll continue to go back.
They are really inventive with their food menu. The soups are extermely well made, and the desserts...just amazing.
