Listen to me. Go for brunch and get the breakfast tots. Just do it. I got a breakfast burrito instead, which was fine, but the tots were outstanding. Mimosas and Bloody Marys are on point too. Nice space and atmosphere.
I've been here a few times, and while the beer selection is good and the food is decent, the service is sub-par.
Went for lunch. The atmosphere was nice, but the food was kind of a disappointment. It was kind of expensive, and the food overall was just OK. I got a bowl, which came with a bunch of tortilla chips on top of it, which was kind of an odd presentation. I had to move the chips around before I could start eating. If you have the choice between a wrap or a bowl, go with the bowl because you get a lot more food.
Pro tip: do some prep before you go so you know exactly what you want to see and where it is, because this place is huge. They do a pretty good job of directing you to the really famous pieces, but it was still a little confusing and very overwhelming. Overall, it's a must see, and since you can easily spend several hours there, it's a pretty good value for the price of admission.
I've never stayed here, although I've heard good things. I've had drinks in the lobby though, and I'd highly recommend it. The drinks aren't cheap, but it's Chicago and everything is expensive, and the beautiful surroundings make it well worth it. Stop in while shopping on Michigan Ave. or after visiting Millenium Park
I will fight you if you don't think this is the best Italian beef in the city.
So glad they're open for lunch. The inside has a beachy vibe, which set the atmosphere. The tacos are bigger than average-- Do yourself a favor and get the PBJ pork belly tacos. It was by far the best of the three tacos I tried.
The brewery was bright and clean and modern, which was a pleasant surprise. The chips and guac were solid (the tostones were a great addition), and the beer I had was good (Mom Jeans Double Chocolate Milk Stout). The rest of the menu looked promising too. All of the beers were a little weird-- hybrids or high ABV or super heavy-- but they all have hilarious names and labels. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in Cbus.
It's hipster German food, which is an interesting concept but not really my thing. I did enjoy the appetizers (especially the pretzels) but the main courses were just OK. The drink menu was really good as well. There wasn't much else near it and it's kind of out of the way, and it was a little pricey for what we got. The service wasn't great, but I think that was because we had a large group.
It was kind of a disappointment. It's really small on the inside, and they didn't have a beer list. I was really excited about the goetta hot dog, but they told me they were out. I kind of panicked and ordered a chili cheese dog, which was blah. The food took forever to come out, and all of the sausages have a really tough casing. Some people like that, but I think it's just difficult to eat. My favorite thing was the soft pretzels, which I think were deep fried, and the beer cheese.
