    Half dozen oysters
    Aude O.

    We went here for a work dinner. So price was not something we had to worry about, but it is more on the expensive side. We ended up paying $100+ per head, but that included appetizers that were shared, drinks, entrees, and desserts. Service was great. Attentive but not stalking. Location was great (right across from the bean). Ambiance was exactly what you expect, posh and moody and perfect.

    First time visiting. We found it as we walked by. It was a very busy day in the city. We also made reservations but they were able to seat us earlier. We sat by the bar in a booth. The space is cozy with good themed music playing. I loved siting by the window people watching on a snowy day. Our waitress Aby B. was amazing. Very polite and full of energy. Everything she suggested was delicious. For appetizers w e had the Lobster Deviled Eggs, Sticky Pork Belly Bites, Bacon & Potato Croquettes. For our main dish we enjoyed the BBQ Ribs, Shepherds Pie, and the BBQ Salmon. There really wasn't anything we did not like. All the dishes were delicious. We are visiting and will definitely put this restaurant on our to return list

    I stopped by Remington's on the way home from Pilates (I was famished). Remingtons is located conveniently across the street from the Chicago Bean on Michigan Avenue. Though I reserved a booth in the main dining area, I was seated by the window in the bar area at a high boy. Not as comfortable as a booth but I had a killer view. This is St. Patrick's day weekend so the city is vibrant with people from all walks of life in town to see the river "turn" green. Now about the food. I started with a cup of shrimp chowder. A bit sweet due to the corn but still tasty. For my lunch, I ordered the Wrightwood salad and unfortunately I did not care for it. The flavors were not coming together for me at all. My waitress was super nice and asked if I wanted to exchange my meal. This time I went with her initial recommendation and ordered the filet sliders with a side of Brussels sprouts. JACKPOT! The sliders were tender and the Brussels sprouts were flavor. Both have pungent flavors, bleu cheese on the sliders and the balsamic in the brussel sprouts, was just a lot. I would order again but separately. Sorry guys, no pictures for the sliders and Brussel sprouts. I would definitely return, during warmer weather when I can sit on the patio and enjoy the city over a nice meal.

    Came to Remington for restaurant week lunch, and they actually have pretty good deal for $30. The appetiser lobster and boil egg is sooooo good, I enjoy it so much and wish I have more. For the main, I have the salmon. The chef has cooked it with care, it is moist inside. The dessert is brownie. It is good, however, I hope the ice cream is bigger. The service is great and attentive, and I will come back for other food!

    The food may look simple but the it's amazing, truly better than expected. The ambiance was great and service was on point, (thank you Arthur and Abby!). You are getting what you pay for when you come here for sure. One small complaint, I wish they had more restrooms, not just one stall for women.

    This place is awesome, perfect place for night out. It's located right next to millennium park on the east loop of Chicago. The staff are super friendly and make lots of great recommendations. Classic stake house vibes and cool ambiance. I was able to try the Mac and cheese and the French dip sandwich both of which knocked it out of the park 10/10 would recommend and have again. The Mac and cheese has the really nice breaded crust and very cheesy and creamy. The French dip sandwich has some really nice and tasty beef and comes with a rich dipping sauce. The hostess was amiss to accommodate our larger party with little notice and seated us in a nice quiet private room. Great experience.

    Wanted some place sorta up scale for our Anniversary. I put Anniversary on the reservation and once again the restaurant failed to acknowledge it. Why have it on open table if they don't even say anything. Pace of service was pretty good except when we sat with empty tea glasses. We had two people serving us and the lack of refills surprised me. The Croquettes were really good. Nice and crispy outside and soft and potato-y on the inside. Dinner was Salmon and Asparagus and Filet and Baked Potato with a shared side of Spätzle bacon n cheese. My salmon was wonderful and I had a ton of asparagus. A couple were a bit woodie and should have been cut shorter or pealed. But most were very tender. Husband said his filet was amazing and he ate every bit of his potato. Over all a very enjoyable dinner.

    Beautiful, elegant, delicious. Reasonable prices for Chicago area! $$$/$$$$ Two people splitting a literal meal: $60-70. We ordered a the french dip to split, brussels, and lobster deviled eggs. We still had brussels leftover when we were finished. Price: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 We walked up to the counter on the right side inside the building to find a host. Asked and received a table outside. We even asked for a different table because of the sun; no issues! Super nice! They have indoor and patio seating, which is out by the road. The car noise is blocked off by the stairs to the parking garage downstairs. Pedestrians are blocked by plants which is super nice. High tables inside have coat hangers directly under the table. Many reservation rooms. Definitely nice for a late date night. Bathrooms are down a flight of stairs. It wasn't super busy at 12pm, an hour after they open. By the time we left, there were about 5-6 tables occupied. One thing that did bother me though was seating a table inside next to us so their feet were by our faces. Brussels were delicious, lobster deviled eggs were great, and the french dip was perfect. The french dip: meat was quite rare which was perfect in my opinion. Horseradish wasn't overpowering, and the shaved prime rib was sliced beautifully. I added a dash of salt and some black pepper in my au jus drip to get those flavors popping. Lobster deviled eggs: 8/10 - we were given the option to add another half instead of ordering two orders (6). Delicious, lobster flavor was all there, not too bland or tasting "too fake." Unfortunately some of the egg whites were less than a half from peeling. Brussels: I loved that they had square slices of bacon in the brussels instead of crumbled. I almost choked a few times from inhaling the spicy vinegar jalapeño before them even entering my mouth lol.

    I scoured the internet for a place close to my hotel to eat and was excited to come here. I was looking forward to the lobster deviled eggs and cornbread. Sadly they were out of cornbread I ordered the chicken entree and Brussels sprouts. The Brussels had way too much vinegar. I had to drain each one prior to eating. The rotisserie chicken was cold and a little bland swimming in its au jous. The potatoes were great (can't really mess that up haha) Service was solid. I was sad to see this place add a 3.5% admin fee. It's not like it's a cheap place, I spent $70 by myself with no alcoholic beverages. Was tacking on an extra $2 really necessary? Insulting to be honest. Raise your prices if you need to. It's not a good look on the bill and I'm sure some people take that out on the wait staff (not me though. Still tipped 20%) Ambiance was nice, I won't be back due to the stupid admin fee and kind of meh food. If i did return id stick to appetizers and hopefully they'll have enough cornbread

    Iron Skillet Cornbread
    Sandy Y.

    Came for a quick lunch. I would say do not get the skillet cornbread. It is essentially all egg... Like a frittata not cornbread. Took two bites and immediately put my fork down because it was not worth eating. But on the other hands, I enjoyed all three entrées that we got. The French dip, chicken dip, and shrimp Cajun fettuccine. The French dip was a bit dry, but was good. Out of the three, chicken dip was the best.

    Prime rib.

    Nice spot but a few issues. I had an 8:30 reservation and got a call in the afternoon asking if we could come in earlier as the kitchen would be closing early due to rain in the forecast. I moved it up to 8. Got a text around 7:40 advising my table was ready, so already felt rushed. With that being said, the prime rib was done nicely. The server was nice but slow to follow-up based on how slow the place was and felt like she kept pushing for a more expensive item. Maybe it was just a bad night but overall I was overwhelmed.

    Some friends and I chose this as one wanted a steak and the other wanted somewhere close to The Art Institute. Win win! We caught them before what I would assume would be the dinner rush. Sat by the open doors as it was a nice day. Good music was being played on the corner so that was a bonus. I got the prime rib which came with a loaded baked potato (must've missed that on the menu), one friend had the cajun shrimp pasta and the other had her steak. The prime rib also came with au jus and horseradish cream sauce. I ordered medium rare, it was more medium but that was fine with me. My friend was pleased with her steak as they had A-1 (no judgement!) and the pasta special was delicious. The margaritas were wonderful (I had 3) and the lemon drop martini was good as well. We also ordered the brussel sprouts which were cooked well and the garlic mashed. Had we realized the steaks came with the baked potato we would have passed on that. It did not go to waste as we ate half the steaks and had sides to bring home with.

    Anyone know if there's a dress code?

    I just wore jeans and a tshirt!

    What are the happy hour specials and is it bar only?

    Not sure about happy hour specials but no, it is certainly not a bar only. They have a very nice big bar area with high top seating up in the front and they also have traditional dining seating in the back...

    Does this restaurant take cash?

    They take everything but a check.

    Is it loud inside?

    It entirely depends on what day you go. We went on a early weekday and it was not busy. There was no probably talking amongst our table of 6. Weekends are probably very different.

    Does Remington s take reservations?

    Yes they do, I believe through OpenTable (or go straight to their website).

    Do you allow dogs outside?

    Yes, our patio is dog-friendly!

    Is this a kid friendly restaurant? My sons name is Remington and want to take him

    Yes on kids!! There is a kids menu and they give the kids Wikki Stixs to play with!!

    Do I need a reservation to get a table?

While I wasn't a big fan of the taste of my drink and dessert, my friend enjoyed both of theirs. Rather, the service was excellent and the views were amazing. My friend ordered The Rocher for dessert, which includes hazelnut cake, mascarpone chantilly, and smoked maldon salt. I ordered a Baked Alaska, consisting of citrus cake, lemon cream, toasted meringue, and salted white chocolate crunch. We both also ordered cocktails. I cannot recall the name of the drinks. I asked for my drink to be fruity and sweet, but it wasn't enough of either for me. The Baked Alaska was fine but too much of various flavors. I wouldn't fault the restaurant for the drink or dessert taste as I know others really enjoyed theirs. Our server was most attentive and very helpful. We found that making a reservation on Open Table only offered a certain number of time slots, and all of them involved having dinner and not just drinks or a dessert. Reservations can also be made on their website though we chose to speak to the front desk about a reservation. Going up to the bar is first come, first serve though. We ended up making an Open Table reservation and were told it was okay to only order drinks and desserts. Cindy's is named in honor of Marian "Cindy" Pritzker, a beloved Chicago philanthropist. It sits on top of the 13th floor of the hotel under a glass atrium and offers views of Millennium Park, Lake Michigan, and beyond. Cindy's Rooftop is open Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 12 Midnight, Saturday from 10 AM to 12 Midnight, and Sunday from 10 AM to 11 PM. Go to https://cindysrooftop.com to see a live terrace view, menus, private dining information, and more.

I can't and will not recommend dining here. This is why I'm giving 1 star. I my opinion The Dearborn maybe they need to be in a different location. Maybe located far west of the Loop. I would suggest instead of Dearborn maybe Halsted St. and probably change their name to The Halsted. Im not going back. OH btw good luck in your new location.

This place quite definitely hits the spot!…read more Before visiting the observation deck of the Willis Tower, we decided to pop into Luke's Lobster on a rainy day for some yummy lobster rolls and soothing clam chowder soup. Everything in here was prepared just right - the lobster roll had buttery, fluffy, soft rolls with delightful chunks of lobster inside. Them rolls were filled and overflowing!! The Lobster Rolls come with chips and a drink - the chips were great for dipping into the Clam Chowder Soup that you can order if you wish to make it a combo. And the soup itself was sooo soothing and yummy - I loved how creamy and rich it tasted without being too heavy. Everything is freshly prepared after ordering, but it still wasn't much of a wait at all to have everything come out and service in general was very efficient and friendly. The space is very intimate, cozy, and warm inside, with some Cape Cod/Lobster themed portraits on the walls and string lights providing a lovely glow. Luke's Lobster has their thing and they do their thing flawlessly - getting a Lobster Roll with Clam Chowder Soup here is ALWAYS a good move.

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.

The steak came out medium rare, leaning on the rarer side, but I'm not complaining. The pepper sauce is good but at $72 I was hoping for a little more fresh pepper to cut through the buttery base. Felt like it could've been abit bolder. The fries are nothing special but do their job alongside the steak. Nice touch that they included vinegar and ketchup on the side. One to-go specific note, the jalapeños came pretty solidified in butter, which isn't great unless you can heat them up right away. Probably a non-issue dining in, but worth knowing if you're ordering out. Good food and smooth pickup experience overall, just go in knowing the prices are on the higher end.

    Bar Mar is a solid spot in Downtown Chicago. The interior decor and atmosphere was great for a nice…read moredinner. Most of the food was tremendous. My favorites were the crab cake, Cobb salad, and short rib. The crab cake was very soft and had a nice texture to it. It was one of the best crab cakes I've eaten. The Cobb salad was also very light and shareable. The short rib main course was very tender, and it came with crispy potatoes as well. Some of the other items such as the Philly cheesesteak and Asian tacos were just ok. They were also both very small in quantity relative to their price. The desserts were magnificent as well, especially the deconstructed key lime pie and sticky toffee pudding. Both of them were phenomenal. The service throughout my meal was excellent. My waitress gave us some nice recommendations, and the staff came by often. I would definitely recommend to visit Bar Mar, and I look forward to coming back myself when I am in Chicago.

Last…read moretime we ate at Jaleo and found it underwhelming but put it down to the fact that we had just returned from an amazing culinary trip to San Sebastian. We really admire Jose's philanthropic work and want to love his restaurants but truth be told, if you forget about the glitzy decor, the food is just average. We tried several appetizers; the Hamachi Cone, Caviar Cone, Asian Taco, Neptune's Pillows, Shrimp Cocktail and Iberico Jamon. We also shared a bottle of Cava. Everything was fine but to be frank the Shrimp Cocktail was the best thing we ate, simple and perfectly fresh. The service was pushy, when a server wants to take you order less than 3 minutes after sitting down, it feels like you're on a conveyor belt. We felt the prices were way out of line, with tip I spent almost $500 for a bottle of cava and appetizers for two people, for that, the food should have been more memorable. We spent the same amount for two off us to have the 12 course tasting menu at Atsumeru a couple of weeks ago and Bar Mar's food isn't in the same league. We will continue to financially support Jose's World Kitchen but not his restaurants.

Walking into the Chicago Grand Avenue Joe's was like walking into a full elevator - difficult, but not impossible. This place was jammed, on an early Thursday night. I guess the word is out - this place is good. I grabbed a high top bar table right in front of a TV with the Cubs game on and got everybody's attention in the very sports centric city! I know "Joe's" menu very well and I ordered: * Their Wedge salad with a ton of accoutrements and asked for this salad to be chopped and tossed. It was excellent * Their fried calamari with two dipping sauces which was also very good and filling. * A light pale pilsner that (again) was very good paired excellently with my order. I guess what I'm trying to say is - this place earned such a stellar reputation that being in this sea of happy diners is well deserved. The staff was accommodating, the ambience was wild and wooly and the people were enjoying themselves, to no end, me included.

My daughter asked to come here so we came downtown on a Friday around 7:30pm and it was pretty crowded, but by it only being two of us our wait time was less than 10 minutes. Once seated you scan the QR code to look over the menu and once decided you go to one counter to place your food order and the bar to place your drink order, they then bring your food to the table and our food came pretty quick after ordering. Bib on, gloves on, time to dig in... My daughter ordered the bag with shrimp, crab legs, corn and potatoes and I ordered lobster tails, corn and potatoes and two lemonades (lemonades were delicious!) We ordered our food with the everythang sauce (which is a mix of all their sauces) and it was really good and really flavorful. Messy is to be expected but surprisingly the food mess was manageable and did not take away from my dining experience. The amount of crab legs in my bag to me did not justify $32 and if it wasn't for the potatoes and two corns I'm sure I would of still been hungry. Seafood boils are not a cheap experience neither, our meals with the two lemonades and no alcohol was $110, so definitely not an every weekend dining option, but leaving I did see on their info board that their shrimp, crab bags are $28 Monday - Thursday and they look to have a pretty good happy hour so this might be a reason for a quicker return. Overall my experience was pretty good.

The ambiance is nice inside and gets busy a little after happy hour. I would say their happy hour deal is such a good deal and if you wanted to you can share with other people. Loved that they have spice levels like hot to extra spicy. The jalepeno corn bread was really good and flavorful. The mango lemonade is also good but wished it was a little colder. The beignets can get a little messy but they were good as well being that it was my first time.

Service was friendly and top notch as expected from a nice Chicago restaurant. Props to the serving assistant/"busboy" who kept our waters full and table clean and set as we ate. As a former buss boy and server, I really appreciated his effort and attentiveness. Food was excellent! I got the chicken picatta with rigatoni added and both were on point. Homemade pasta and succulent chicken were really fantastic for an otherwise "boring" choice by me. We shared a side of the cauliflower that was seasoned impeccably with toasted almonds and white raisins. It might have been the best part of our entire meal which is saying a lot. Girlfriend got the lobster stuffed pasta which was excellent as well per her report and my opinion after tasting. Would Highly recommend this place for business, date, or dinner with a few friends.
