The Meridian Hotel Restaurant

When I went to Chicago, I sampled many restaurants.

I normally stay away from Hotel Restaurants (they are notoriously inferior and too expensive).

But the Meridian's was excellent.  

The dishes were light and innovative.  The wine was delicious.  The view was pretty.  The service  was gracious.  The ambiance was romantic and upbeat.

I only wish we were alone., here, not with another couple.

And that I did not have a horrible cold which I caught at a double-header watching the Cubs loose - again.

But, YO - I will be back to eat here...and maybe even to stay.

Class act.
