sat outside on the patio during happy hour enjoyed a Paloma, ricotta, a burger, and the broccolini. I would come here again and order all the same things. Thank you Roman for the great service and suggestions! read more

Great food and great service. Zakai was very attentive. I was feeling sick and he offer me a ginger tea which help. Thank you

Neiko made our morning! Unbelievable service! Great way to start Sunday funday! Go bears!

Came in for brunch before our flight and had a wonderful experience! The food came out surprisingly fast, which was a huge plus, but what really made the visit stand out was the service. A special shoutout to Kenzi, who was attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed right away. Great food, efficient kitchen, and fantastic hospitality all around. I will definitely be back! read more

Although I have mixed feelings about the hotel stay, the bistro is pretty decent. We used a voucher from the hotel to get some end of the night cocktails. They were sting and pretty and got the job done. The bar was clean and service was fast. The crew was the best part. They were friendly and made the checkout process super easy. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning before heading out to explore Chicago. We were seated quickly given that it was before 8am and the restaurant only had one other party at the time. I wanted the American breakfast, but I wanted to substitute the toast for one pancake. The server told me I couldn't do that before they only serve pancakes as a set of three and there were no exceptions. Instead I got the sausage scramble. The potatoes were tasty and cooked well. The eggs with the cheese in the scramble was good. The sausage within the scramble was fine, but it should have been cooked longer to make the sausage darker and more crispy. I believe the meal would have been excellent if that would have happened. read more

I'm not sure why the reviews aren't better. I was pleased at both of my dining experiences while visiting in Chicago. The food was good (breakfast two days) and more than anything, the wait staff was very nice and friendly. One of the servers even took time to write a list of tourist recommendations for my mom and I. The other server, even though she was new and hadn't tried a lot of the meals when asked for recommendations was still a great server. read more

Stopped here for lunch during Pokémon Go Fest. Surprisingly there was no wait. Service was fast. We enjoyed the beautiful patio. Food was fabulous! The homemade steak sauce was the BOMB. I will say I'm used to getting a bigger piece of steak on these types of meals. It was cooked perfectly though and the price was reasonable. My only comparing was I wished they'd had the full menu available at noon on a Saturday instead of just brunch. read more

3.5 if that was an option. This was a very quick walk from our hotel, so that was a big plus. Good breaks at menu but expensive. I wouldn't go back for that reason even though the food was pretty good. Recommend: veggie omelet and potatoes, French toast. Don't recommend: pastry basket- the croissants were so dry they just broke into crumbs everywhere. Sounds like their happy hour is probably worthwhile. read more

Lovely brunch with bottomless mimosas, what more do you need! Kenzi took great care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and view of the park. Perfect place for a relaxed and delicious breakfast. read more

This a great location. On a corner, close to hotel, outdoor seating, view of Grant Park. Nicely decorated inside. Waitstaff super pleasant, but S-L-O-W. They are not in any hurry to check back with you once your order is taken. And, that is the reason for the 3. They weren't super busy when we were there. All three of us had burgers. All were good. read more

Great restaurant with a nice patio and super close to Soldier Field! Even though our server was the only one for the entire patio, he was attentive and really good at this job. I think what made this work was that other people brought the food out from the kitchen so that allowed him to focus on the customers which was a good strategy! The burger was juicy and very tasty! I was a little disappointed in the chicken for the salad because it was very bland and squishy but overall we had a great time for dinner! read more

What a nice little place attached to Le Meridien Essex. Lucky was an amazing bartender. She is so kind and knowledgeable about the food because she has tried it all and knows some great variations to tease the taste buds even more. I would highly recommend stopping in for happy hour or dinner and ask for Lucky!! read more

The food here is really exceptional, as are the drinks. We so enjoy dining at Grant Park Bistro, and especially when it's possible to sit outside. Patty was an amazing server, as are all the guys and gals, but we were especially impressed that she was relatively new in the position. read more

I come to Chicago frequently and this is my go-to breakfast (and sometimes lunch) place. (I always stay at Le Meridian, attached). Breakfast is perfect and the salmon is too. And I love that Neiko remembers me and makes sure my coffee and bacon are perfect! It's always a good time when he's working! See you next month folks! read more

I visited Chicago last week, Ashly provided great service and made me feel right at home. In fact, I ate dinner there every evening and seeing Ashly made my day brighter. The food and wine were delish! The location is beautiful with views of the lovely park. Thank you! read more

Food and service were good. Convenient to lake front hotels. The Salmon Benedict was tasty & served with breakfast potatoes (a little on the sweet side). The Crouque Madame was different with pickle in it. French Press decaf. read more

We were walking and saw that they had a happy hour menu on Sunday so we popped in. The staff was really nice and welcoming. We ordered drinks and really liked them. I got i think the lakeside punch which was BOMB! Then we ordered the corn & cheddar fritters and yall they were really yummy. We didn't see any pics of them on here so were kinda skeptical but pleasantly impressed. The fries were fresh and so crispy. The salad was good and my friend said her pasta was tasty. Everyone was checking in on us frequently and made sure we were set. Definitely will be back. Really enjoyed our time. read more

First off, the service was 5 stars amd genuinely friendly. From the hostess to our server. Wait was short even in a busy Saturday. Prices were average. Better than your average hotel restaurant. My 17 year old said this was the best burger he'd had in recent memory. I had the standard American breakfast. read more

Came in on Friday night, the bar was packed but Lucky our bartender did a fantastic job. She was so attentive, gave us great recommendations and went out of her way to give us fantastic service even though it was busy. Will definitely be back for her White Linen drink.

Chicago The restaurant is located at street level in Le Meridian Essex Chicago hotel. It's bright, holiday shiny and feels sleek and inviting. We sat at the window and loved the street view. Everything feels new and fresh here which makes me think they have done a recent renovation. We were served professionally and in a friendly way. Chicago is not exactly a hub of smiles and high-level customer service n the winter but our waiter was exceptionally warm and welcoming. Coffee came quick with refills when needed. We ordered off a brunch type menu and had the sausage scramble and the croissant breakfast sandwich. Both came with twice-"baked home fries which were ok but nothing to put in your recipe book. I'd say the food was like 3.5 stars, ambience was 4 stars but the service was 5 stars which weighed heavily in my review. Great ambience. The place was busy all morning and the service was really the standout here. Definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

I came here with some friends to enjoy their HH specials. We didn't make a reservation but asked if we can be seated by the window where there were booths available. This was on a Thursday around 5pm and the place was basically empty except for 2 tables that were occupied by 2-4 people each. The server said no because they're reserved and that high tops were the only option so I went on open table and made a reservation. I told him I made a reservation and he was able to seat us at a booth. I thought this was a bit ridiculous because they clearly had a ton of empty tables and it took an extra step to get to the same result. The ambiance is nice if people wanted to come here and chill. Basic food that you can't really mess up on. We had a couple rounds of drinks and each ordered a burger plus 2 fries. The price is decent for the amount of food you get in this economy. Might come back for HH, but other than that I don't see myself paying full price since service nor food were top notch. read more

Why do I keep coming here and expecting a different result? Over easy eggs were hard and burned on the bottom. Potatoes were overdone and tasteless. Weirdest English muffin I've ever had. And the Bloody Mary I ordered when I first sat came 15 minutes AFTER my food and only when I asked about it. No one checked on me or asked how my food was. I finally just flagged the waiter down for the check and paid. read more

Came here during a work trip and sat at the bar. Staff was attentive and helpful in answering any questions I had about the menu. Ordered the 8oz Sirloin Steak Frites which is served with a steak sauce it was perfectly cooked and really great after a long day at work. Tried the lakefront punch cocktail but was not a fan just not for me. They do have a happy hour menu Sunday thru Thursday 4-6pm. read more

Very cute, inviting spot but a little underwhelming/disappointing in terms of delivery/flavor. I stopped by here for breakfast before heading to a conference and was immediately drawn in by the light/bright/clean decor. It was still pretty early, about 8am, and I sat at the bar next to a couple other patrons. I ordered a black coffee and decided ultimately on the avocado toast with fruit instead of breakfast potatoes. The bartender was friendly and prompt and my plate came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, it was just really bland and lacking in flavor. I salt/peppered it and also asked for some hot sauce which they fortunately had. But overall it just missed the mark for me. In retrospect, I wish I had gone with one of the benedicts (they had one with salmon I was eyeing). Price wise too, $30 (after tax/tip) for a slice of toast and coffee is really pushing it in my opinion, especially when the flavor is just missing. Maybe breakfast/brunch isn't the specialty here. If I did go back, it would definitely be to try their happy hour/lunch/dinner menu! read more
