I tried the white bean chili, which unfortunately was bland (even with jalapeños) and topped with a stale tortilla chip. I hope they will restore the chicken tortilla soup to the menu, as it is so rich and flavorful, and a true Neiman Marcus classic. Otherwise, it was fine experience with good service even though the restaurant was quite busy.

Tucked away on the top floor, the restaurant is a serene and elegant oasis above the hustle and bustle of Michigan Ave. The food is always good, the staff are friendly, and it’s never too loud. Great spot for a solo lunch or for friends who want to be able to hear each other talk.

The food is consistently delicious and the service is friendly without being hurried. The tables are well spaced and the acoustics are fantastic, allowing for easy conversation with fellow diners. My personal favorite dish is the Chicken Paillard, and all of the desserts, as well as the traditional popovers and chicken broth, are excellent. The decor is sophisticated and elegant, creating a lovely atmosphere. The chairs are also very comfortable.

Our server, Mike, seemed disinterested and made us feel like we were inconveniencing him. However, the other staff who brought our popovers and soup were delightful. Thank you.
