The Chef knocks this appetizer out of the Park! The pork belly chunks are firm and flavorful. On our first visit the burger and fries arrived with a single dollop of ketchup. This was not enough and the server never checked back. Visit number two, the service for the first 2/3rds was perfect. The Pork Belly was excellent, again and we enjoyed the Tuna Poké bowl. The tuna was fresh and delicious. It was another perfectly excuted dish. Then we were left waiting for our check. We had to finally signal for it 5 minutes after our plates were cleared, 15 minutes afrer we had eaten every morsel.

Apologies was nearby our hotel, the Marriott Marquis. We started with a cappuccino and an O.J. Both were perfect and my daughter commented that it tasted like they had just fresh squeezed the oranges moments ago. We considered ordering the pastry tower, but instead opted to share three dishes. It eneded up being more food than we could finish. Portion sizes were big, especially for the quality and price. We shared 1 savory and 2 sweet dishes: the banana business croissant, the warm cinnamon roll, and the fritatta Espinosa. Each one completely impressed us and we're so delicious. We told the server we couldn't belive they were both baking high end pastries like this and preparing amazing savory dishes. Overall, our service was quick and friendly. The room was clean, spacious and modern. If I visit Chicago again from the East Coast, I would happily visit Apolonia again. I would love to try some of the brunch drinks and more items.

Apolonia offered excellent food, but I will never go back…read more We ordered the tasting menu ($72) and added the wine pairing ($48) and with tax and tip the bill for two was just under $320. None of this was a great surprise. No cocktails, by the way. The tasting menu was photocopies with two menus per sheet of paper and a very sloppy cut for a non-rectangular menu. The problem was the service. I like a paced meal but 2 hr-55 min is absolutely ridiculous. The restaurant was not able to get food onto the table, either because of the quantity of quality of the staff, and the room certainly wasn't very crowded, perhaps 35 customers in sight. I think there were 4 cooks, 2 servers, 2-3 runners/busboys, and a hostess who hustled around doing a lot of odd jobs. Every item served was delicious. The plating was nice as well. The wines were not so successful. Of the four wines on the menu, two differed from the descriptions and the pairings ran from OK to Combative. I have lots of details about the food and wine, but that's not the issue. The poor service was inexcusable. I only get to Chicago one every 2-3 years and there are so many good restaurants that this one has been crossed of the list with a permanent Sharpie.

The screens are the perfect size for an event like this, the birria nachos are a standout; and I appreciate when the bar chills my glass for a martini, which they did. Overall a fun place to watch the game with other fans (this is a very social place), and we'll absolutely be back this season. Thanks Alondra!

There was a live DJ during our visit, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere without making it impossible to chat. That said, the experience was just okay overall. The bartenders seemed a bit dry and not very engaging, and the tequila selection was more limited than I expected for a rooftop bar. I also don't recall seeing a food menu, so if you're looking to grab a bite while you're there, you may want to check ahead. Parking is another thing to keep in mind. There isn't dedicated parking, so you'll need to find street parking or use a nearby garage. Overall, it's a decent place to stop by for a drink, enjoy the view, and catch up with friends, but it wasn't somewhere that made me want to stay for hours or rush back. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.
