    Burger & steak
    Jessica T.

    My son and I came in on a Friday night around 6 PM to grab a quick bite to eat. When we arrived at the hotel to check in a couple hours earlier, we were greeted by Gustavo, who was full of energy and such a pleasant person. I mentioned my son had a severe peanut and tree nut allergy and inquired if the restaurant could accommodate us. He assured us that they could, and we would enjoy our food as it would be safe. Boy was he right! The server we had at dinner was Jose G and he gave the best service. My son ordered the steak and frites and I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries, both were absolutely delicious. Portions were very large and reasonably priced! I especially loved that the steak was served with asparagus and then there was an additional plate of fries. It was a great deal at only $35! The ambience was pleasant, food was terrific but what really made our visit memorable was the great service by both Gustavo and Jose. A big thanks for making us feel safe & well taken care of

    Knocking the classics out of the park which I did not expect for a hotel restaurant. You can sit and dine in the restaurant or take food (and drinks) up to your room which we did. The pizza was a nice thin crust that was perfectly crunchy with fresh tasting cheese and tomatoes. The burger was SO good and was stacked with fresh ingredients on a thick and well cooked patty. Finally the French onion soup was classically good. Jose was the best bartender in the business. All service was personal and chatty if desired but not over the top.

    This is a nice restaurant inside the Doubletree Hotel that we had a bite at after checking in from a late flight. We were very hungry and stuffed by the time we finished our meal. Both the fish and chips (with a delicious sauce!) and Margherita flatbread are generous servings. The service here were also fantastic. Our waiter was very friendly and always checking in to see if we needed anything.

    Located in the Doubletree Hotel, the cafe is open for breakfast, and it's very nice. You choose between ordering basic foods from the menu, or for about the same price, $24, you can have the buffet, which is a good American breakfast. Servers are helpful and keep the water glasses full. Along the wall are shelves of carryout breakfast foods and drinks. There is even a rack with some toiletries and drugstore items. Everything is convenient.

    Got in later on a Friday night and planned on eating at the hotel restaurant. It did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and all of the staff were hustling as it was busy but they were very attentive. My husband saw others ordering the burger and decided to try it. He was very pleased with the burger and fries. I tried the fish and chips and was happy with my order. It had the perfect amount of breading (I was worried they'd be over breaded) and the garlic aioli was delicious served with it. My husband enjoyed a non alcoholic IPA and although I didn't order one tonight we were happy to see a zero proof section on their drink menu. I will be back tomorrow for a drink and likely dessert!

    Yogurt, berries, walnuts and honey. Perfect light breakfast.

    We stayed at this hotel and the breakfast was compted since we have a travel status. They had the best spread of a light cold breakfast.

We were so happy with everything! Our server was wonderful! The entire staff was so friendly and on top of their game! We never waited for anything. They were immediately refilling our waters, offering more bread, removing dirty plates, replacing silverware, and offering the next course. It was perfect! The views!!! I think there's not a table in NoMi that doesn't have an amazing view. The main, large window faces the lake (East). Arriving just at 7, you get the full affect of the city, and lake, and then the sunset and lights of the buildings. It was absolutely magical. I couldn't get enough of it. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and clean, but honestly it could have been a pit and I wouldn't have noticed. You'll be focused on the views for the entire evening. The food!!! Everything is very fresh. It's all well-prepared. Everything was delicious. There's a good variety of dishes to choose from. Plenty of healthy, low-carb options. We each ordered our own appetizers. I had the crispy Maitake mushrooms and my husband had the mussels. We both loved our food and left nothing on our plates. Excellent choices, that we highly recommend. As our main course we shared the sushi platter. The seafood was fresh and the sushi didn't have too much rice. It was the perfect amount of food with our appetizers. They have an extensive wine and drink menu. For drinks I had a glass of the Sauvignon blanc and my husband had a red blend. For dessert we weren't really hungry enough to eat anything else but my husband wanted a pallet cleanser. They have a few sorbets. My husband settled on the cherry cola sorbet. They brought it out with a little chocolate that said "Happy Anniversary" in French. They did not add it to our bill. Very sweet of them. It was probably one of the best anniversaries we've ever had. The bill was about $230 before tip. We highly recommend coming here for any special occasion.

That said, this place just completely disappointed. The food was just not good. I had the burger sliders and for $9 a piece you expect them to be something special. They were not. Overcooked with a little sauce and two pickles slapped on the bun with a tiny little dab of fake cheese - it was like a bad and way more expensive version of McDonald's. The onion rings were the frozen crumbly kind not the fresh beer battered kind and so that's a big "no!" for me. The dipping sauce was okay. Service was friendly and I think the guy was new but it wasn't good enough for a place like that at the top of the building. There were two servers so I'm guessing one was training maybe. They didn't make it to my table to check to see if everything was okay while I was eating and it even took them a while to notice that I was done eating. It's was slow so I don't think they were stressing with too many tables. That kind of place should knock your socks off - but it was on the low end of mediocre. I wouldn't go there again for food. Maybe it's a decent place to go to the bar but since I don't drink I can't help much on that end.

The lounge features not only an eye-popping crystal chandelier but also a tea service in the afternoon and luxe bites and crafted cocktails. I convened with my drinking companion during a break in his conference presentations. Since his conference hotel did not have a bar or restaurant on premises, I decided nipping into the nearby Four Seasons would be a good call. The bar area was convivial and welcoming even to non-hotel guests. I was feeling festive so ordered a glass of Prosecco. My drinking companion ordered a rye-based cocktail. The ice in the craft cocktail was an eye-catching sphere. I was transfixed as this was my first time seeing this outside of an LG refrigerator commercial. We had fun sipping our drinks and catching up. I missed the little bowls of snacks but probably that is a concession to covid and all the uncertainty of untended nibbles.

Cost to worth it ratio: 3 (pricier but expect that at the Four Seasons) Highlights: - Paul: our bartender. Irish, chatty, and cool. Excellent service and made it fun to hang out in the near empty lounge area. - Atmosphere: large area with big chairs and a piano player. We ended up there cause it was cold outside and close to where we were, but was one of our favorite evenings out. - Drink menu: not just your average martinis. Had drinks like the auditini with elderflower liquor in it. Good and not too sweet. - Snacks: they give you nuts and a rice cracker wasabi peas mix.

Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking for a great dinner, the atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit. The service was phenomenal. Our server checked in frequently without ever feeling intrusive, and we always felt taken care of. That level of attentiveness really elevated the entire experience. The drinks were outstanding. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the most unique versions I've ever had. Smoky, strong, flavorful, and incredibly well-balanced. If you're a cocktail lover, don't skip the drinks. We started with the Little Gem salad, which was fresh, tangy, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. Light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. For mains, we tried both the steak sandwich and the chicken sandwich. Both were fantastic--crispy, flavorful, served on great bread, and paired with delicious sides. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either. But the real star of the evening? The Sweet Corn Agnolotti. My. God. This dish completely stole the show. It was one of the most unique pasta dishes I've ever tasted, and I still think about it to this day. The flavor profile was complex, creative, and unlike anything I've had before. Every bite brought something new, and it absolutely blew our minds. Amazing food, incredible cocktails, attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Ila's delivered on every level, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal in Chicago.
