    Breakfast omelette with toast!
    Allison R.

    Ate here for daily breakfast while we were staying at the Millenium Knickerbocker hotel off of the Magnificent Mile. Menu was simple but pretty delicious. Service varied - overall folks were friendly, but placing your order and getting the food took a little longer than I would have liked. Over the course of our stay we tried the smoked salmon eggs benedict, American breakfast, french toast, blueberry buttermilk pancakes, and the omelette. All of the above were delicious although the pancakes were a little thick. If you get the orange juice, it does taste fresh squeezed like Odwalla, so was pleased it wasn't your typical chalky minute maid stuff. Nice hotel-like decor but I'd allocate a solid 45-minutes for breakfast.

    Caramel Brownie - warm and gooey, so delicious!

    Food was good enough, but there was an issue with the charge...but first the food: I had the chicken pesto sandwich. The chicken was a bit dry and it needed more pesto flavor, but it wasn't a bad flavor combination overall. And the bun was toasted perfectly. The fries were only ok. Office Mom got the prime burger; she thought it was only ok, but the bacon strip I stole was great. Coworker got the crab salad; I tasted a piece of crab, it wasn't particularly flavorful, but at least it wasn't fishy. Dessert: The caramel brownie was awesome, probably my favorite part of the meal. The lemon tart was meh, and the tart Milano (can't remember the name) was death by chocolate and pretty dry - would not recommend. Then comes the billing portion of the meal. We had a cert, which they took off correctly (and thank goodness - it's got the typical higher hotel restaurant prices). When they went to charge the debit card, they put an extra $13 or so on there. Office Mom gets a text each time her card is used, so she was able to compare it to the bill. When she questioned them about it, first they tried to tell her the charge wasn't closed out yet - but uh, we're treasury folks, we know how the banks work and that's just incorrect... Then we were told the system went down and that they would credit her back the next day - which they did, eventually, but it was still a questionable incident. When all's been said and done, eat here if you can get a discount, but check your charges.

    This lil' gem was located in the hotel we stayed at whilst in Chicago - Millennium's Knickbocker. We went down for breakfast twice while staying in the hotel, and it was just all around delicious, quaint, and perfect. Went for the eggs Benedict with salmon the first go around....yes...not vegetarian but fish is the only exception....technically that's pescatarian but anyways. It was simply amazing. Th 2nd dish consisted of an spinach omelet....there was another ingredient or two but they've escaped me at the moment. It was delicious but the salmon eggs Benedict was definitely the better choice of the two. Both dishes came with a side order of seasoned red potatoes - also amazing. Both of the waiters were super friendly and on the ball as far as keeping my java intake flowing. Service was great - food came out quickly. Overall, both visits consisted of a lovely breakfast experience. They are more on the $$ end as far as breakfast goes but definitely worth it.

The broth is the kind you want to keep dipping bread into and practically lick off your fingers afterward -- flavorful, savory, and a little briny without being the heavy creamy type of sauce that some places do. Very comforting but not overly rich. Honestly, I don't even remember all the other dishes we've ordered over the years, but our experiences have consistently been good. Service is polished, the space feels classic Chicago, and it's a great place to relax before or after a performance downtown.

    Awesome food!!! Fancy Environment!!!! And Friendly Staff!!!!…read more Yay! Wonderful experience here, I was just visiting and after I finally found parking, I asked to be seated but did not have a reservation, the hostess said if I could be about an hour she could squeeze us in. So I was thankful for that, we were not looking to stay for a long time just wanted to try the place out. Once seated we were waited on and served fast. The food was mind blowing, we loved everything!!! My favorite was the duck appetizer puffs, wow they were good. Everything though was elevated and delicious. I'd come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for the wonderful experience to add to our trip to Chicago!

    Terrible. I am honestly not sure how people are recommending this place. I was excited to come here…read moreand had very high expectations, but unfortunately the food was extremely disappointing. Let's start from the beginning: the bone marrow. What on earth was going on? Why would you cover bone marrow with fig, bacon, and so much cilantro? Bone marrow is a delicate dish. You are supposed to taste the richness and subtle flavor of the marrow itself. The cilantro completely overpowered it, and the fig and bacon made it even worse. Chef, where did you train? This dish made no sense. Then came the agnolotti. I have no words. Just look at the photo: full of oil. I mean completely swimming in oil. Then the chitarra with seafood. Horrible. Spicy for no reason. Again, why are you trying to cover the ingredients instead of letting them speak for themselves? Also, the fish tasted frozen, not fresh. The pork belly, supposedly the signature dish, was another disappointment. Again, so much sauce that the actual flavor of the pork belly was completely lost. The staff were nice, the ambiance was okay, and the wine selection was good. But please, stop covering the taste of the food you cook. If you need to hide the ingredients under excessive sauce, spice, cilantro, oil, bacon, or sweetness, the only explanation is that the ingredients are not good enough on their own. I will not be coming back. Not even for free. Sorry. PS. Why so much bread on each dish? So much buttery horrible bread that you will trash, because it's impossible to eat all of it.

It was so fun to chat with the chefs and watch them prepare dishes. I ordered the roasted "pig face" potatoes and the famous sautéed green beans. While waiting for my food, the chef surprised me with complimentary chickpea fritters to try. All of the dishes tasted incredibly delicious and this was the best restaurant I ate at during my trip. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic. I would definitely dine here again the next time I am in Chicago.

    After so many incredible lunches and dinners while visiting Chicago, dinner at Girl & The Goat…read morestole the entire show. Every single dish was so good, cocktails were incredible, our waiter was a delight... this review is about to be a rave if you couldn't already tell. We were searching frantically for a patio we could have dinner on because the weather was too perfect to be inside and somehow, Girl & The Goat had space available last minute. After a quick wait, we were seated with menus in no time. We started off with the tropic like it's hot cocktail which was the most refreshing and delicious cocktail I've ever had. Dangerously delicious but also weirdly felt like I was drinking a healthy green juice. For dinner, two of us split a bunch of different plates like the roasted asparagus, salmon poke, shrimp salad, and kohlrabi salad. Each dish they brought out was more incredible than the last, and those four dishes were plenty of food. We left perfectly full but the food was so fresh and light, we didn't feel too weighed down. From the list, I honestly can't even say what my favorites were, but our server recommended all of them so we have him to thank. The salmon poke was delicious and so fresh and honestly such a solid choice. If you only get one thing (don't. get like 2 plates per person prob) that is the one. Only thing to note is that the patio is on a kind of busy street and if you go on a weekend night it can get crazy loud when those weird quad bikes drive past blasting music at an absurd volume. Go here, you will love it. Get all of the amazing food and at least one cocktail bc they are delicious.
