720 South Bar and Grill Reviews | Chicago Restaurants & Bars

0

First time at the 720. Should've hopped on over to Panda Express to get our money's worth! Very overpriced! Entree was just 'ok' and was almost room temp! Husband left hungry and had to go Panera Bread just to fill up! Not overly impressed tonight....;(

You all know how I feel about a poached egg. In fact, I base whole reviews solely on the poached egg experience (sometimes). Well, let me tell you something about 720 South Bar and Grill. Wow. Just. Wow.

We used to hit up Kitty O'Shea's before heading to Bears games, but they stopped serving legit breakfast and only serve burgers and deep fried stuffs. We wanted eggs. And bloody Mary's.

So we made our way through the Hilton to this fine establishment. No crazy crowds. No waiting. Excellent service from Lisa, who served us delicious double bloody's. :)

I ordered the Eggs Benny. Oh. Mah. Gawd. These were the best bennies I've ever had. Instead of Canadian bacon, sliced ham. Instead of boring English muffin, savory bread pudding. Instead of a side of greasy potatoes, asparagus and oven dried tomato. Perfectly poached eggs( And I do mean PERFECTLY). A creamy Hollandaise sauce that completed the meal.

My second mom, Kathy, ordered eggs with bacon, which looked beautiful and was LOADED with slices of delicious bacon joy and asparagus/dried tomato.

Did I mention that the Bloody Mary's rocked? Served with celery and a lime, they were spicy and delish.

Yes, please.

Awful. Worst service ever. How is it that the people next to me and the people at the other table in front of me had a waiter fawning over them but he failed to acknowledge or provide any service the entire time. Can you imagine what was different about them vs me??? Â Save your money.

Went here for breakfast with a buddy before a Bears game. Â It was a typical breakfast buffet, best feature was the Omelette station. Â Otherwise it was standard scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast and some fruit.

It got the job down and got us on to the game and a Chicago win but I wouldn't hurry back.

The usual standard disclaimers apply to this review - if you happen to be staying in Chicago, and you are staying at the Chicago Hilton, the Blackstone, or the Essex Inn, and you like burgers, beer, and bourbon, you should consider the 720 for a dining and / or drinking option.

Why? Â Because the burger here is freaking unbelievable. Â Order it medium rare, as it is a high quality, juicy steak cut, simply adorned with aged cheddar, and, as you see fit, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard. Â You can get a fried egg too, but resist the urge to gild. Â I rarely finish a burger but I inhaled this one. Â Rarely is a $15 hotel burger worth it, but this is the exception. Â The fries are good, too, and the restaurant has some local beers on tap which I highly recommend, particularly the Metropolitan option.

For cocktails, their rye manhattan is superb, made with "Rhode Island Rye", a brand with which I was not previously acquainted. Â She was silky smooth and spicy, but sadly is cooped up all day long, for the bar does not open until 5 PM. Â And it is because of that late opening time that I give this place three stars only; after all, what is the point of staying in a downtown hotel if you cannot start your lunch with a hearty Manhattan?

Don Draper would have a thing or two to say to Conrad about that!

This is a tough place to review. Some of the food was mediocre, some was great, some was terrible. The service was initially AMAZING, but then after we got our food, we were practically ignored. After being asked if I wanted to take any of my food home, the brought the boxes out and just laid them on the table. For these prices, and the environment, I should not have had to pack my own food up.
THE WORST PART!! Â We had to fight with the front desk to validate our ticket.

The valet told us to self park and validate our tickets for a lower cost. The front desk refused to validate the ticket. Back and forth back and forth for 15 minutes. I wouldn't pay almost 50 dollars to eat at this place or anything.
