    As everywhere was closed already on Christmas dinner time, we decided to just dine in the hotel restaurant. We were asked to wait a little before getting seated and it took more wait time before our orders were taken. The food arrived not long after. I got the bolognese (pasta; i don't remember what it's called exactly) while my husband got the Mediterranean chicken meal (not sure again what it's called exactly) but we ended up switching because he did not like his order. Well, the chicken was fine when you dip it in the sauce but the rice and bread were bitter. The pasta was good though that I ended up eating half of it too. The service was slow. Maybe because it was a packed evening. Our coffees were forgotten until the very end.

    The Level Two Restaurant is located on the second floor inside the Hyatt Centric Magnificent Mile hotel. My first visit, I ordered the guacamole and chips, plus a pint of a local craft brew. Followed by a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. The salad was way overdressed, the grilled shrimp were cooked properly and were very tasty. My second visit, was for breakfast in the morning, I ordered an omelette, with a side of bacon a glass of V8 juice and a cup of coffee. The omelette was well constructed and tasty. Total bill? $40 and change. $5.00 for a small single cup of coffee. $5.50 for a glass of V8 juice. Service was good. But way expensive to eat breakfast here. #LevelTwoRestaurant

    This restaurant/bar was in our hotel, so we stopped by a couple times during our stay. On our first night, we visited the bar for drinks and dessert. I got the pomegranate martini (New Amsterdam vodka, pama, fresh fruit juices) - it was fruity as promised, not too sweet. A good refreshing drink. We also got their creme brulee - this one was a little disappointing. The caramarlization was good and crispy. But the custard was wayyy too runny. I would have liked more consistency in the custard. I did like the strawberry slices and blackberry and mint leaf on top! And it was the perfect size for two! We also visited for breakfast, especially since the hotel gave us $30 off. We got the breakfast buffet for $27 per person. This includes traditional breakfast (sausage, egg, potato), fresh seasonal fruits, pastry, coffee and juice, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal with variety of toppings, granola. It's a lot of choices! But the food was okay. I got scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon, potatoes, a piece of quiche, lots of fruit, yogurt, pastry, grapefruit juice. I think it's worth it if you've got a decent appetite!

    Ok - YUM. Level two has moved up to "level one" for me! From deep dish pizza (you know, the kind that you *must* use a fork and knife with), to the fresh hummus and crispy lettuce and bell pepper bites, TO THE MACARONS! Level Two catered a Yelp event and my experience was a genuine 10/10. A polite, efficient bartender handled the volume of the crowd, the manager was prompt at greeting guests, elaborated on descriptions of the food being catered, and at one point when I was lost, help me find my way. This beautifully designed hot happy hour spot is should be on your list of hidden happy hour destinations. Do yourself a favor and add it *number one* to your list :)

    Plentiful seating that are rather comfy Lots of tables with admirable view of the TV Music is a bit loud but no more so than any other bar Service was good...prompt, accurate, chipper. The fries were both flavorless and soggy and the mega salt they applied helped neither, although seeing parmigan cheese fries on the menu should have clues me in that the fries couldn't stand on their own two feet. I was groused by lack of charging outlets.

    My friends were staying at the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile and in that hotel, Level Two is their hotel bar and restaurant. This may come as a shock, but you need to head to the second floor of the hotel for this spot. When we went, there weren't many people there and service was a bit slow. My friend's Old Fashioned took about 20 minutes to make. We were so confused what was taking so long. The others all had beer so that came out a bit quicker. Prices are what you'd expect at a hotel bar. Atmosphere....feels like a hotel bar. Ha! While there we ordered some fries to munch on and they were alright. But then...we also ordered their flourless chocolate cake for $7 and it was divine! We shared it between three of us and it was just the right amount, so rich and delicious! Def get this if you have a sweet tooth. Level Two is by no means a destination spot but if you're staying in the hotel, it's not a bad place to pop in for a drink or three.

    One of my favorite Sunday brunch spots downtown Chicago. I love their Eggs Benedict - poached eggs over crab and buttered toasted English muffin, topped with Hollandaise sauce. They also make very good Blood Marys with a great combination of spices. Brunch starts at 11:30am goes to 2pm.

    Got this as a Groupon originally which said "Brunch for Two" so I planned on using it for a morning we were in the city. The restaurant is located inside of the Hyatt. We saw on the Groupon that it said make reservations- I was unsure why though, because when we arrived there was plenty of places to sit. The waitress informed us that they discontinued their brunch menu but they would stiil honor the amount it was worth. I wasn't really planning for lunch and nothing really sounded appeasing to me. My boyfriend knew he wanted a burger right away, along with the truffle fries. I chose the burger also, just because everything seemed too "extra" for me. I always look up places before I go and I really had my eyes set on chicken and waffles. Major disappointment. I did however get the salad, which was pretty good. Mimosas were just okay (Would had paired better with brunch). Overall fancy place, pretty good service. Burger was very overpriced and fries weren't anything special in my opinion. The view was nice, but I probably wouldn't come out of my way to come eat here again.

    Salmon avocado toast with poached eggs

    Nice spot for an order off-the-menu reasonably-priced brunch. This restaurant is located inside the Hyatt. The brunch menu is not extensive, but entrées are $15 and cocktails are $10. My husband had the huevos rancheros and I had the salmon avocado toast with perfectly poached eggs. Both of our brunch items were delicious! Generous in size and flavorful, we both enjoyed what we had. Friends both have the steak & frites...those truffle fries were everything! I would definitely come back to this restaurant for Sunday brunch and a cocktail. They could amp up the Bloody Mary with more skewer items. It was very basic.

    Level Two is a hotel restaurant located inside the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile. I had the breakfast buffet at this restaurant, which normally costs $24 per person, but was complimentary with a room stay. The breakfast was delicious. Coincidentally, months prior, I had the breakfast buffet at Tides inside the Hyatt Regency Long Beach (California) and I couldn't help but notice the similarities between the two restaurants' breakfast menus. The menu formats were identical, but the dishes were different to focus on each city/state's regional cuisine. Neat. I got a nice assortment of food from the buffet which included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, skillet potatoes, and steel cut oatmeal with banana chips, raisins (purple and golden), pine nuts, and sunflower seeds. I also got sourdough toast with Darbo jelly (the Hyatt Long Beach also had Darbo jellies), a strawberry Danish, muffin, and fresh fruit including blueberries, blackberries, and honeydew. To drink, I had water and hot coffee with cream and sugar, poured tableside by our server. Everything was fresh and tasty. Service was great. The hostess and servers were very polite and attentive. I fixed a plate to take back to our friends' hotel room and the hostess grabbed two packets of disposable silverware and napkins for me. How nice. Level Two is a classy restaurant with a modern design and elegant decor. The breakfast buffet here is definitely not your run-of-the-mill hotel breakfast buffet. There's an air of sophistication. For guests of the hotel, I think it's ideal -- there's something for everybody. However, I'm not sure I'd make a special trip from outside just to eat the breakfast buffet though. They do have an a la carte breakfast menu and also serve brunch, lunch, and dinner with a full-service bar. Ask about their lunch and happy hour specials.

    I was at Northwestern and needed a spot nearby to grab lunch. I was going to give this two stars for the food but upgraded because the server I had was actually super nice and I like the book idea with the check. When you get off of the elevators, there is no signage saying where the restaurant is so that is confusing. However, it is just to the left. The bar is first but they are not open for lunch. It was confusing to me because there were two people behind the bar and, again, no signage so it was unclear that the bar is a separate entity from the restaurant. I heard two other people also ask if the bar was open after I did so it definitely wasn't just me. The bartender told me just to pick a spot and a server would come. She eventually did but there only appeared to be one person working the entire dining area. However, in a confusing action, some other guy took over mid-meal without any explanation. He was much more attentive, however, so it was okay. I got the calamari only so it's hard to judge the food based on one dish, but this was not a good one. The calamari was extremely rubbery and there was far too much breading on it. The breading was also pretty bland. I did like the presentation though as it was served with two different dipping sauces and I nicely charred lemon. The saving grace of the dish was the aioli, which was amazing and lended much-needed flavor to the calamari itself once dipped in it. It had a nice spice to it as well. When they bring the check, it's inserted into this small book which has patrons over the years notes in it. Many people note what they ate, their names and where they are from. I thought that idea was super awesome, particularly because the restaurant is in a hotel so they get visitors from all over.

    The best cocktails around

    There is nothing I don't like about this place. During my 5 day stay at the hyatt we visited here everyday. Whether it was for half off wine Wednesday. .or lunch before we ventured out...or nightcaps on the way in. Service is spectacular! The best bartenders in chicago. Once he learned my style of drink I didn't even have to order. He'd mix up something special and delicious every time. The food...awesome. super fresh and delicious. One time we split a sandwich and soup and they graciously brought it out on 2 plates and 2 small bowls. That's the kind of service you get here. Nice sleek atmosphere. ..comfortable. .upscale yet cozy. I seriously recommend this place.

    My group and I had a great experience at Level Two Restaurant this morning! A Groupon search lead us here, and if getting 33% off wasn't good enough, we had an amazing meal to catch up over. Not a traditional brunch buffet, however the entree selections were sufficient. Each dish was a perfect serving size, and it was incredibly delicious! I ordered the flavorful Chorizo Breakfast Bowl, which in turn I highly recommend. Don't be shy to try out the Chilaquiles or Chicken and Waffles too! I don't want to forget to mention our amazing server. I immensely regret not getting her name, but our server was incredibly attentive, kind, and quick to give us updates on our order and fulfill our requests for refills or condiments. Thank you for such a great time!
