Columbus Tap - Chicago

Great service. Varied selections. Reasonably priced. More than fair portions and delicious. Overall excellent experience.

This is a very decent place to go for a casual bite. My burger was really quite good and cooked as I requested. The highlight was how hospitable and attentive the staff were. I would make a repeat visit when in the area.

The food was fine. The steak in the steak and eggs was definitely undercooked and I got the wrong toast (ordered rye, got wheat), but what can you do. Coffee was good. This place was woefully understaffed, though. They had two servers covering a dining room that looked to be about 70% full. It took about 15 minutes to get a server to our table and, even then, he wanted to take our food order before taking our drinks order (and I really needed coffee) and he was definitely flustered. He was working hard, and I don't blame him for the staffing issue, but the manager seemed to be wandering around aimlessly and didn't seem to be helping in any way. While waiting about 10 minutes just to ask for our check, we approached the manager for some help and she simply said our server would bring it and then returned to wandering around the dining room with no apparent purpose. Zero situational awareness. A simple breakfast with a pretty limited menu took over an hour. We won't be back.

It's one of my favorite lunch spots. The food is delicious with a nice variety on the menu. My favorite is the salmon salad. The staff is lovely and gracious.

Only come here if you have to. The hotel has a captive audience. Otherwise I suggest you find a better place nearby. I ordered smoked salmon and there were so few slices it was laughable.
