Given some of the decorative changes to the restaurant we experienced some difficulty conversing given the noise level. The food was delicious! The service could be improved if the server intentionally observes the guest's eating pattern and paces the courses accordingly. For instance, our server brought out our entree' while we were only 1/2 through eating our salad. The attention to these details will make the dining experience more relaxing and refined.

The food was good. The potatoes were very good. However, for the amount of food, I think it was overpriced. Our server Carvonna was attentive and nice. It was convenient since we were staying in hotel, I especially appreciate that on lazy mornings.

For breakfast, we got the breakfast burrito and waffle, and it was SO much food. Your dollar here definitely goes a long way, and to top it off, everything was surprisingly delicious! For the night cap, we got to the bar an hour before closing, and it literally took nearly 45 minutes for the bartender to come speak to us. He wasn't even there until he spoke to us the only staff in the whole restaurant was cleaning up. All we wanted was to redeem our hotel vouchers for a glass of wine each. We would've gotten a second one if the bar itself wasn't about to close and if the bartender didn't disappear again.

Our Server, Lennard, was a rare professional who was happy to make us feel welcome and appreciated and we felt the same about him! The Cafe was decorated with warmth and the Holiday Spirit and it deserves a Chicago visit! Happy Holidays! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $50–100
