I was traveling alone, and on my arrival night at the hotel, I had a beer at the bar and enjoyed chatting with the bartenders. In the morning, I returned to get some work done over breakfast and coffee. I went with the omelette- which is build your own- and a latte. The meal came with big smashes potatoes on the side, along with sourdough bread & jam. Enjoyed my drink as well, made with Starbucks coffee & added vanilla. The breakfast was a whopping $30 however, which I find kind of wild. Is it just that it's because the restaurant is inside a hotel? Maybe these are typical Chicago prices? Either way, plan to spend a fair bit to dine here.

The only reason this restaurant is receiving 2 stars instead of 1 is the fantastic hostess who…read morestepped in as our server. We were there with a large group for a conference. The room is ready for us immediately, however, it took an entire hour for me to get my beverage. We were told that our server had a family emergency so the hostess stepped in. She was very attentive and pleasant. When I finally received my dinner, they served me the plate of shish kebabs with only the beef kebab telling me that they had to put the chicken kebab back on the grill because it was not ready. I think they may have removed the vegetables from the kebab with the undercooked chicken because they tasted funny. I only took a few bites and had the rest of it wrapped up. I got very sick that night. Pretty sure I had a tinge of food poisoning.

My first morning, I ordered off the menu and did a veggie omelette. I'm super particular about eggs, and these were a little overcooked for my liking. Otherwise, the flavor was delicious, along with a side of sausage links. My second morning I decided to go with the breakfast buffet. There were a variety of continental offerings, along with a few hot items. I was happy with my meals both days.

Many of them are limp rather than crispy, and the oiliness is very noticeable, making them look soggy instead of crunchy. The cuts are inconsistent, with some fries being thick and others thin, which likely caused the uneven frying. Overall, they look heavy, greasy, and far from the golden, crisp fries most people hope for. The shake was good but for $6 could have been larger serving. Employees were short and not really "welcoming" but it was near closing time but that should have no difference to the experience for the customer. Overall would probably get a burger & a shake here again but the fries are sub par at best.

Our reservations were at 6:00 on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was about half full when we got…read morethere and remained that way for the duration of our visit. Let me start by saying the food was really outstanding. We had a variety of items - Chicken Parmesan, a ribeye cap, Brussel sprouts, and several deserts. Everything was prepared well, presented well, and was delicious. The parmesan was the largest portion that I've ever seen, Two people in our party split one order and still ended up taking half of the portion home. We had terrible service, though. Have you ever had an "absentee waiter?" It took him a while to greet us. When he did, he read off the specials and discussed what beer options we should consider. He asked if we wanted bread, and we said yes. Then disappeared for about ten minutes. We had to flag him down to take our order but still no bread. That took a while more. When the food came out some was missing (pasta). He said he'd bring the pasta which never arrived - well not entirely true, he brought it in a "doggie bag" when he brought the check. He never once checked on us. At one point, we had to go to the hostess station to see if our waiter was still working or not. Carmine's did comp our deserts - cannoli, tiramisu, and sorbetto. Unfortunately it was too little, too late. I think bad service isn't the norm for Carmine's. As I read other reviews, while service is mentioned in some, it's the minority. So, maybe we had the wrong waiter or maybe he was having a bad day. I do recommend Carmine's for the food. It's unfortunate that our service experience was so bad.
