We had the tuna tacos, which far exceeded our expectations and the American cheese board for apps. We enjoyed both and it was well paced and relaxing. We each had different entrees and we were all happy with our food. We made several changes to the stated preparation and all our requests were handled perfectly. We ordered a few desserts to share. The warm apple pie was outstanding (flaky crust and lovely apple chunks) and I also loved my chocolate malt (yum). We are all seniors and so the well-spaced tables and fabrics are great for keeping the noise level at a very comfortable level. My two nit picks: 1. A lot of the table tops are brown Formica with no placemats or tablecloths. It is not aesthetically pleasant and just does not go with the level of the hotel or the restaurant. 2. It was about 10 minutes too long between our entrees and receiving our desserts. We all left feeling well fed and well cared for and we would all happily return.

For Chicago, and the Four Seasons, this was a total miss. I apologized to my wife for not making a more informed restaurant choice.

But what keeps me coming back since they opened is the food and service. It’s great hands down! A must for real foodies.
