Forever grateful for Restaurant Week! I can't say I would have ended up here otherwise, but I'm glad I did! The space is beautiful, the service is phenomenal, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend the beef soup, the pork belly and the caramel candy bar!
I came here because it was recommended as one of the best deals for restaurant week. I do not think it was worth it but I am glad I went during restaurant week because I would have been outraged if I had paid full price for the meal that I had. It did come with 4 courses but they were all pretty small. I started with the pork belly and while it was good there were only 2 very small pieces of it. I then had the beef soup but it was not a soup. It was a consumme. That is what the menu should have said. It was very misleading and disappointing as a soup. It was also in my opinion served in the wrong type of bowl. The bowl was very shallow so it was hard to actually spoon up the broth. For the main course my friend and I split the fish and the prawns. The fish was boring. It tasted like a pretty bland ,fish and rice with the fish skin being okay. The prawns were good but again very small portion. Only 2 prawns on the plate. The desert was pretty good but you could tell that the cake on it had been in a freezer and they hadn't let it get fully to room temp before it was served. The service was fine but not what I expected from a fine dining experience. They didnt even explain the food when they brought it out. I would say the best thing about the place was the view which was a pretty nice view of the Chicago downtown area.
A little pricey but tasty and good views of the water tower. We were seated quickly and got our coffee right away. I got the nomi benedict. It was a bit salty to my taste but I noticed many things were salty on this trip so could be a Chicago thing. The accompanying potatoes were great.
You can find NoMI in the Park Hyatt Chicago building, 800 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611 - I believe this area is called "Near North Side." I'm unclear on the parking situation as I walked to NoMI from my hotel on Magnificent Mile. Walking up to the building you wouldn't know the restaurant is there unless you look up a few floors to see the sign under a protruding glassed balcony. You enter the elevator to get to the restaurant. The interior is nice, contemporary with interesting fixtures and a lot of warmth - I was seated with a group in a private space that's normally sectioned off with a dark curtain. I attended as part of a conference so the choices were limited except for entree choices. This is what I had and my thoughts on each: * Citrus Grilled Shrimp with creamy polenta - the shrimp was perfectly cooked with a hint of spice that offset the very creamy polenta nicely (this latter had more the consistency of mashed potato than your typical course ground grits). * Baby Kale and Tender Lettuces - baby kale, tender lettuces, shaved fennel, honey crisp apple, candied pecans, dried cranberries, lemon maple dressing. - I liked this salad quite a bit but it was very heavy in frisee which I found a bit off-putting. The overall composition was well balanced overall if perhaps overly-bristly in texture. * Wagyu Strip Loin with grilled asparagus, pommes puree, cafe de paris butter - i ordered this medium rare and it was perfectly provided and really delicious. * Deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake - the dessert, which I had high hopes for after the wonderful lead up to, was disappointing. The texture of the main component was just weird, having the rubbery consistency of gummy bear. The flavors worked well and it was quite beautiful, but very off-putting. I think it's the first time I haven't finished a dessert. The service was overall exceptional - there were several in our section who received the wrong steak (ordered the strip and received a filet) but this was very quickly resolved. I was also able to get in a few classes of a pinot that was requested.
We made the mistake of reserving NoMI for the weekend and didn't realize it's only brunch for the restaurant week menu, not lunch. I was looking forward to the barramundi, alas for next time! Even though it was a gloomy day, the view was spectacular. Our coffee was served cold and we were given hot coffee when we asked for it to be replaced. Hot coffee is a must when it's Chicago cold. The sunrise flatbread was good but needed a little kick to it. The longanisa breakfast sandwich was spectacular and we got veggie sausage as a replacement. The cereal tres leches was great and on the less sweet side. The service was gracious and I can't wait to try it again for restaurant week next year.
The brunch was bustling and I understood why. Not only was the food delicious, but the servers were very attentive and the view of the city was wonderful. My scramble was simple, but tasty. My fiancé's ube pancakes stole the show.
NoMI is a beautiful restaurant with amazing high-rise views! We also enjoyed watching the action in the open kitchen. I visited during restaurant week with my husband and twin toddlers and received excellent service. I loved my entrees: the crudo, roasted squash salad, hiramasa, and lemon almond torte were all delicious. My husband's spiced beef soup and pork loin were just okay for him, though. The kids devoured their heirloom tomato soup with grilled cheese, and even the chicken tenders got a thumbs-up from my husband. Big thanks to NoMI for being so welcoming to our family; it made for a wonderful outing!
Nomi is on the seventh floor and it is beautiful. We seated against the window and were able to look out facing east. Our server, I forgot his name, but he was very attentive and kind. I had the restaurant week menu which included. Cauliflower tempura, the Nomi burger and a Tres leches cake. I also had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The meal was delicious. Everything was prepared quickly and it was fresh. I went to the restroom and it was clean however, it pains me to say that one of their young hostess staff members went into the stall and came out, but didn't wash her hands. Outside of that the rest of the experience was really nice.
Lovely joint with a nice view on the 7th floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel. Always a good meal and good service here. There is a lovely patio for those warm days. I've only been on weekdays and its a bit easier to get in without a reservation or being a hotel guest. Im sure Fri-Sun is a different story. FYI, you can reserve via Open Table. The lobster roll here has me in a chokehold as its pretty good and comes with fries...you can substitute with truffle fries also. The Hamachi sushi roll is good as well. NoMi Old Fashioned is always on point and the salted caramel espresso martini is a good choice. Sitting outside on the garden patio is always awesome as they sometimes have events and/or you can just chill with friends at the bar or at a table. Shout out to the awesome Gus that works the outdoor bar. Thanks for introducing me to the Sobremesa. Great, smooth jalapeno infused tequila cocktail that includes coconut, lime and strawberry...looks and tastes good! Part & Parcel is good as well. Ketel One and St Germain cocktail that does the trick. There is a brunch that I have yet to try but in due time it will happen lol! Great spot for the coming summertime!
Stopped by here for a birthday dinner. The hostess was extremely gracious, but may have missed to tell the waiter. Nevertheless, it would have been nice to have candle or mentioning of "Happy Birthday". We very much enjoyed the bread service, bone marrow, pear salad, black forest chocolate cake and coconut tres leches. The pork loin was a bit too touch and the halibut were both misses unfortunately. I would still come again to try their trumpet mushroom dish. Their views of the Water Tower and surrounding Streeterville is simply unbeatable.
honestly, the food was really good but we did wait a solid 2 hours to order. our server, jessica, barely came to our table and was not helpful at all. the service was very bad, especially for this to be an "exclusive" restaurant
If you're looking for a special occasion breakfast, this is the place. We thought we were going just for the unique view, overlooking the water tower on Michigan Avenue. We were not expecting the breakfast food to be fantastic. The smoked salmon bagel was not just a crazy large amount of salmon, it was perfectly smoked, and the richness was balanced beautifully by the salty capers and salmon roe. Nicely dressed greens accompanying it. Not too much cream cheese on the bagel to make it overwhelming either. The breakfast sandwich was artfully assembled and super tasty with gruyere cheese. Potatoes came with it, and they were *amazing.* Service was so friendly and attentive.From the hostess to the server to the bussers, everyone was a delight. Timely coffee refills and a thoughtful offer of coffee to go. The decor was comfortable and beautiful. And the view was exactly what you hope for when you go to a place with floor to ceiling windows looking out over Michigan Avenue. Importantly, the women's restroom at NoMi may be my new favorite women's restroom in Chicago. Beautifully appointed and beautifully clean. I could have spent half the day there. I didn't, but I could have. I don't think I've ever made reservations for breakfast before. But it was a good idea, particularly in order to request a window table. NoMi is in the Hyatt, and as a hotel restaurant, it may well fill up unexpectedly. Go ahead and make reservations to save yourself any anxiety.
Love the atmosphere. Great drinks! Amazing service. We got sushi and truffle fries. Sushi was simple, fresh but had great flavors. Fries were good too and i like that they were brought out with ketchup and mayo.
Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the beautiful atmosphere and views, fresh seafood and creative dishes, and attentive and friendly service.

I miss the good old days of Nomie when there was white table cloths and impeccable service. Hyatt decided to get rid of those things and create a general hotel kind of feeling. There are no table cloths on round wooden tables. The seating is more generic. While Nomi still has the most amazing view of the water tower, you are paying inflated hotel prices for a more casual dining experience. The menu was lovely but not enough to justify the cost and the feeling that I was in just a generic hotel restaurant. read more
What a vibe! NoMI sits atop the Park Hyatt Hotel, and is simply stunning. When entering the hotel, we were greeted by the adorable hotel pug named Parker, who lives in the Lobby 24/7 and is absolutely living her best life. Upon entering the restaurant, I fell in love with the decor and atmosphere of NoMI. We dined on the garden. The space was the right amount of both serene and upscale with city views. What I really appreciate about NoMI is how diverse the menu is! Even with it's limited options, there's a little something for everyone. Sushi, burgers, salads, and more! We started with the hummus and a spicy tuna roll. The hummus was creamy and delicious. I didn't try the sushi, but everyone else seemed to really enjoy it. For my main course, I ordered the striped bass. It was served with crispy marbled potatoes and roasted tomatoes. The bass was topped with a caper and onion relish. Everything was really tasty, but not mind blowingly good (especially for the price). I loved the plating, atmosphere, and service, but the food fell just slightly short of that for me. We did really enjoy our desert of chocolate tres leches though! After dinner, I walked through the interior dining space. It was so stunning! I definitely want to come back and give the menu another chance and explore more options. The brunch looks delicious. read more

We came here for a quick breakfast. We were able to sit next to the window, which showed us to have a nice view. We had the breakfast sandwich (which was on a croissant) with bacon, free-range eggs with chicken sausage, Greek yogurt, and a Berry smoothie. The food was well prepared and well presented. I did enjoy the smoothie as I needed something liquid that was refreshing. The side of crispy potatoes that came with the sandwich was really good. read more
Located off Michigan Avenue, this elegant restaurant had beautiful floor to ceiling views of Michigan Avenue. I imagine this is very popular, especially for the Christmas parade. The staff were super friendly. For restaurant week, there was a selection of starters, entre, and dessert. The starter had three shrimp balls, the beef sandwhich was a bit rare, and there was only one choice of dessert, a cigar shaped cake, and strawberries. The other entre choice was halibut. read more
This place is the real deal. For a hotel restaurant, this place does a great job. It has some Japanese influences, but the menu is brought enough to also have western dishes as well. So think sushi bar + French food + American food. I love the outdoor vibe as well. It overlooks Chicago Avenue, and the Peninsula next door. The wait staff is always attentive and knowledgeable, and it's clear they hold themselves to a very high standard. The quality of food is also great, but get ready to spend because you're definitely paying for quality and ambiance at a place like this. I love coming here, and look forward to my next few trips here. Definitely make a reservation during peak hours. read more

Beautiful scenery from seventh floor of the Park Hyatt . Very open spacious dining room. Servers were attentive and accommodating. Ordered from the Chicago Restaurant Week menu for lunch. Choices were limited but ok. At our table, food was over done, dry rather flavorless. Gf limited or substituted with much more simple dish. Desserts were the best things on the menu. So so good but a great view of the north side of the city . read more

Beautiful restaurant with such a lovely vibe! The restaurant is gorgeous to begin with that sets the mood. What better way to go with this vibe then delicious food and cocktails! I ordered a gin drink that was very good that my friends ordered as well after trying mine. The food here was delicious! The salmon sashimi was very soft and well cut! I haven't had sushi in a long time and the tiger and salmon avocado rolls also hit the spot. The watermelon salad was very good as well and I do not go out of my way to order salads, but this was my kind of salad. We ordered a flatbread and the striped bass which were very good that I wish we could order more so I could eat more. The flatbread was filled with cheese, parmigiana, and arugula which was the perfect combination for a flatbread! I kept wanting more when I ate it. The fish was very soft and melted in my mouth. Everything on their menu was delicious! Their rooftop is beautiful and it was such a lovely evening to just sit outside and talk while enjoying drinks and food. Great place to have a nice dinner at with good company and foo! read more
We came here on a chilly Chicago Sunday morning. It was a little confusing finding the entrance to the actual restaurant with no signs or anyone directing you to where to go. We obviously eventually found our way in and we're seated right away. The dining area is very spacious with the majority of the tables having window seating. There were a few tables away from the window; but those stayed empty. The views out on Michigan Ave and the Water Tower were fantastic and excellent to look at while enjoying a meal. My wife ordered their chicken and waffles and I ordered their steak and egg. There were a few other items that caught my eye, but I was craving some steak. The chicken and waffles were really tasty. It came with two delicious pieces of perfectly fried chicken on top of two slices of waffle and then covered with butter and maple syrup. This was really tasty and I would personally order these again. My steak and eggs were good as well. They were served with two poached eggs, garlic potatoes and toast. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly and very tender. It came with herb butter on top giving it extra flavor that it needed. We really enjoyed our meal and wouldn't hesitate to come back. Not really sure when I'll have a chance to come back but it will definitely remain on my list. read more
NoMI is an outstanding restaurant in the downtown Hyatt. Our server told us it was going to be closed for a few months while the Hyatt is being renovated--but will reopen and strongly encourage anyone to eat here because the food and experience is exceptional. Be aware to secure reservations, you need to put down a deposit--and you should make them well in advance of when you want to eat. We were very lucky to have a table near the window with a lovely view of downtown. Service was outstanding throughout the meal. They have an incredible wine list and a solid drink menu. I ordered a bottle of red, but a couple ordered mixed drinks and really loved them--nice and complex. We started with the beignets which were outstanding, very flavorful and delicious. Everyone wanted more. They also had a meat and cheese plate I saw another table get that looked great. For food, they offer both sushi and regular menu items. I had to try the sushi so I ordered salmon/advocado rolls--but had a chance to sample several items. It is no surprise the sushi was outstanding--I am not sure where they find fresh salmon in Chicago, but it was good. Another dish I tried was the duck breast. This was cooked and flavored perfectly. I also had a lambchop that was amongst the best I ever had. Everyone loved their meals. For dessert, I split something called the Chocolate Cherry Bar. This was decadent and delicious with a lot of different flavors and some fantastic almond ice cream. NoMI is definitely worth a visit. read more

We just had an anniversary dinner here the other night, a gift from our sons. The location overlooking Michigan Ave from the 7th floor was fabulous. Our waiter, Patrick, was very affable and engaging and took care of our group with a smile. Food was excellent too. Blackened cod, filet, and pork loin was all top notch. Dessert was outstanding!!! Highly recommended. read more
I ate brunch here with my husband and loved it! The ambiance, views, service and food were all wonderful. We especially loved the French toast and the potatoes of the eggs benedict. I didn't love the eggs benedict but it was still yummy. I live nearby and it was so nice to a top view of my neighborhood! It's likely a cool view for tourists too! Thanks Nomi for a great experience! read more
Went for the 5-course tasting Thanksgiving dinner and while the food was excellent, service left quite a bit to be desired with timing off, poor communication and overall just made what could have been a special night feel much less special. They comped some wine which was nice, but given the tab for 4 was already approaching $1K, it seems like some attention to detail would have been warranted. Also, not the restaurant's fault, but a drunk table next to us was pretty loud which also affected the evening. Started with the cured meats and cheeses. Overall good, though odd that we got the same portion size as the 2-top next to us. Crab bisque was very good, but pretty unappetizing looking (brown, with white stuff floating in it). Also not fully warm. Lobster beignets were pretty amazing. Sushi appetizer was really good as well. Beet salad was more salad than beets, but very good. Turkey was perfectly cooked, but was hoping for something more homestyle (like the photo on the site), but overall was good and the stuffing was the bomb. Pumpkin cheesecake was excellent. So luscious. The pecan pie was also good (the chocolate sorbet being the best part). Pastry was a bit thick and hard. So, overall a fine meal, but the service gaffes and expectation set by the price meant overall this didn't live up to our expectations. Not one of these dishes was the kind of memorable dish you think about later... bummer. read more

Good sushi, solid bread, great filet, and an amazing view. Cant beat NoMI. We were seated right along the window and had an amazing view. The bread service was good, bread came out piping hot! We got the sushi platter and the filet. The sushi platter was excellent. The rolls had a good ratio of rice to fish, everything was super fresh and the nigiri and sashimi pieces were huge! I appreciate they appear to grate their wasabi fresh, not using the dyed horseradish from the tube. I would definitely get this again. The filet was perfectly cooked and was well seasoned. It was as tender and fall or full as some Wagyu, so kuddos to them. We loved the open concept kitchen as well. It had such a warm and inviting vibe and the staff were wonderful! read more

Located inside a hotel, which I totally didn't realize when booking. The view from the outdoor seating was beautiful and it was a perfect morning for brunch outside. My bf and I shared two entrees, steak and eggs and French toast. The French toast was good, not overly sweet or drenched in the blueberry topping. The steak was perfect; so tender and moist and the flavor was to spot on! Our server was awesome. Great experience. Probably wouldn't go again but it was delicious just not my vibe. read more

So my friends and I went to Nomi for restaurant week. The portions are so small! I attached pics. The truffle chicken had no truffles on it and didn't taste like truffle... more like just fried chicken. Also was 3 bites worth... kind of like chicken nuggets. Was given 3 scallops with no sides really... but they tasted really good. Cheesecake was decent and the "biggest" dish. Overall food tasted good and came out hot, but literally the smallest portions I've ever seen. And I would have liked to see some truffles.... bill was $109 with one cocktail and these dishes. read more

If you have a meager appetite, an underdeveloped palate and money to burn - come here!!! After paying nearly $30 for the smallest thinnest sushi roll I've ever had, I'm reminded why I haven't been back to this place in years. Upon seeing the size of the sushi roll, I expected it to taste spectacular but unfortunately it tasted quite mediocre. I could have gotten this sushi roll in my neighborhood for $10. You're paying for ambiance at Nomi kitchen. And that price is high! Sushi + beer + tip = $60 (not worth it). read more

Happy Thanksgiving a la NoMI and Tock! We enjoyed an early, multi-course seating for 2 and a half today and thoroughly savored the restaurant's embrace of American bounty. The menu was paced perfectly from first to third course and dessert was included. I went with a generous pour of the Carneros Cabernet Sauvignon, baked Brie, kale salad, and halibut entree whereas my dinner date enjoyed his Never Say Never mocktail, crab beignet, pear and sweet potato salad, and closed with the traditional turkey entree. This year I'm thankful someone else is making us dinner AND cleaning up while the baby has decided to treat us to a long nap coinciding with our reservation. I can't think of any better way to celebrate this American holiday than from Chicago's Park Hyatt NoMI restaurant. I'm ready for Black Friday now... read more
I came here for my 25th birthday brunch when visiting Chicago for the first time and I have the best Aperol Spritz ever. It was seriously so good; you need to order it if you come for brunch. I also got the eggs benedict and it came with a great side of potatoes. The potatoes were super flavorful. For the eggs benedict, they used prosciutto instead of regular ham and a croissant instead of a English muffin for their own fancy twist on it. It was really good. I wish all eggs benedicts were made like this! The view we had of the city was very beautiful. I think the restaurant was on the 7th floor so you were high but not too high you couldn't people watch on the street. The servers were nice as well. read more

Excellent!! I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but we had an amazing experience. Got a seat at the window with beautiful views of the city and Michigan Avenue. Had the Restaurant week menu. Maitake mushrooms were surprisingly delicious with a great blend of different flavors. We both had the Wagyu, which was super flavorful. My friend had the Calamansi tart (beautiful!) and I finished with the warm flourless chocolate cake. That was the only thing that was a miss. The chocolate tasted like it had alcohol in it. Like too much. The taste was off. The olive oil ice cream was great though! I loved that they had allergens clearly marked on the menu, as I'm gluten free. Our waiter, Joe, was very charming and a great host. Would highly recommend! read more

The family and I went for Christmas Eve dinner. Service was superior. Everyone was beyond pleased with their meals. The filet mignon was outstanding. The charcuterie had so much options. Drinks were strong! We were pretty full by dessert but did make room ! We would think about doing this again for Christmas Eve. read more
The only reason Nomi got two stars was because my wife's cocktail was halfway decent. With that accolade aside this was an expensive waste of time. The lobster beignets were mostly filler & to recognize the mere morsels of lobster you had to squint your eyes. The remoulade sauce that accompanied the beignets was actually quite tasty but some actual lobster would've been nice. The sushi rolls were so damn boring that I was immediately reminded of the rolls from Whole Foods. My gosh people put a little tlc into the food. For me to come out of quarantine for this level of food isn't worth it. For me to spend $100 on two sets of rolls, an appetizer & one drink is embarrassing for it not to be great. read more

Amazing rooftop spot on a nice sunny day. Great service, amazing drinks!! We didn't eat here, so I can't comment on the food. Loved everything about this spot. (Side note-be careful of the wasps on a sunny day!) read more
NoMI is a great spot for weekend brunch off the Magnificent Mile, featuring perfect views of the Water Tower and even Lake Michigan. Located on the seventh floor of the Park Hyatt hotel, NoMI features a selection of both traditional brunch dishes as well as sushi plates. As such, my party and I ordered the NoMI eggs benedict ($22) and added on the crab ($5), and also ordered the NoMI futomaki ($24). I would have liked to see more crab with the eggs benedict, especially for the price, but the flavors were decent and the hollandaise sauce wasn't too heavy, pairing well with the poached egg and the arugula. However, the futomaki was a standout dish, and even featured real, freshly ground wasabi root on the side, which has a much more pleasurable and distinctive flavor than the typical wasabi paste you get in most sushi places here. The snow crab, eel, and salmon all worked super well together in this (nontraditional) futomaki and were very fresh. The price was a bit hefty ($4/piece), but overall it was still satisfying! Would definitely recommend the sushi over the more traditional brunch dishes! Side note - they charge you a $30 deposit/person for making the reservation on Tock, but they refund you as soon as you check in at the restaurant. read more
