    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.

    Had lunch here and were seated right away. Our server greeted us promptly and took our drink order…read moreimmediately. We ordered the venison burger and, honestly, I was hesitant at first because I was worried it might be too gamey. However, our server did a great job explaining what to expect, and she was absolutely right. The venison patty was juicy, flavorful, and exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and efficient throughout our meal. They also have an impressive selection of signature cocktails. I didn't end up trying one because the drink I was interested in sounded a bit too strong for lunch, but it's definitely given me a reason to come back later for drinks. Overall, I left as a very happy customer and would gladly return.

    To be fair, we've been here before and absolutely LOVED it. However, this past visit on 6/19 was…read morerather problematic. After we sat down, our server took her sweet time getting to us and was largely absent the entire visit while the servers for the others tables were attentive and present as I've come to expect. We started with the Crispy Brussels and Burrata Toast which was an amazing and fun combination of flavors textures with the sherry glaze and pickled onions providing a perfect counter to the richness of the cheese. Our second course was the Gage Caesar which we've had before and have enjoyed sharing multiple times, but this time the lettuce was full of grit as if the prep chef did not even bother washing the lettuce. The server never came by to check on us so I had to wave the manager to complain about the salad. The server also never checked to see if we wanted refills on our cocktails so we placed our orders with the manager. The final dish was the venison burger which was perfectly cooked and seasoned if you like venison, which I do so we enjoyed that greatly. The condiments that came with it were perfectly matched to balance the game of the meat and the fries were perfect as usual! The server then FINALLY got more involved with our dinner and was predictably perky and present at the end, something that always irks me when they have been otherwise absent for the meal. The ONLY reason they are getting 3 stars instead of less for this visit was the flavor of the food and the response of the manager in dealing with the lack of service (and the gritty salad). I would give the initial server a zero if I could.

Made last minute reservations for brunch next day after the infamous architecture tour. It was quiet as we've put in an early morning. All the more better to savor all intricate dishes from start to finish. Like the name, The Purple Pig, their specialty is pork dishes so majority of our orders were this. Daily special of the bone marrow bacon jam toast - glazed, slippery off the bone, savory and sweet. Always love a good bone marrow dish to get the sweetness off it. This was so good that there were bits of the marrow and jam left stuck to the bone, I took a piece of the toast and scooped the bone dry. Nothing left for anyone to attack this. Non pork dishes were the Mushroom 3 ways and Spanish octopus. Mushroom dish was savory with all the coated sauces elevating this. Spanish octopus was kicked lightly and easily can bite in to enjoy the tender and charred portions. But the award went to my main course - the braised pork shoulder with saffron, apricots and Swiss chard. Aside from the rippable pork meat when dining on it, the sauces fused together on this dish elevated it and had everyone coming back for more. I needed an official Chicago culinary experience and found it at The Purple Pig without a doubt.

We got there around 8am on 06/18/26 and the place was kind of empty. We stood for awhile waiting to be seated. Finally a lady said she would take us to a table but that they were all dirty. We kind of looked at each other puzzled. She kept mentioning that they were dirty and weren't cleaned yet but seated us at a high top that hadn't been cleaned and tried to clean it herself. We wanted a window seat so we accepted it. It seemed fine after she cleaned it. It was just a strange way to bring us into the restaurant before the tables were cleaned. We could have stood by the door and waited some more. But the service and food were very good! Our server was Jose, who was excellent while checking on us several times to make sure everything was good. The vanilla latte that he recommended was delicious! I ordered the 3 Egg Ham 'n Cheese Omelet with mushrooms and my daughter had the Eggs Benedict. Both were cooked perfectly and seasoned correctly. Yummy! For dessert, we shared the delicious Cinnamon Roll Waffle, made perfectly, of course. We were surprised when we received our check, which was $92 for breakfast plus 20% tip. Anywhere else It would be around $65 but we were here on vacation. We were in Chicago for another 5 days but we did not come back here. There were many other breakfast places on the Riverfront that were equally good and much less expensive. My rating was 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.
