    Korean rice
    Deb W.

    Ewe! Thought I was getting dinner but I received burnt rice! Now this food cost way too much to be disgusting and a disappointment. The rice was burnt and the food just lacked. It's definitely not your traditional fried rice. And please believe the service matched the sub par food. Skip this one!

    Turkey Sandwich & Kettle Chips
    Erica D.

    Came across this gem because it was located inside the hotel I was staying at for a tax conference. The hotel was really nice and had several different food options however their unique lunch menu caught my attention. One thing I really liked was the way it was setup so you could see a nice view of the city from the wi dow which was great. I also like that the bar was completely separate from the sit down area like across the building. The customer service was great and all the staff seemed to be active and tentative. The turkey sandwich was amazing. The break was baked to perfection and the chips were even better. All the toppings were fresh and tasty. I would've preferred highly recommend!

    One of the dining options inside the Hyatt Regency Downtown pretty straightforward menu. Chicken chipotle quesadilla 5/5: everything was fresh and made to order. Nice flavor Fries: typical but pretty good Reisling; I prefer late harvest option buts the Chateau ste Michelle is a suitable option when available. Prices: very reasonable for hotel food Service: they were great with accommodating three different conferences at the same time

    Poke Tuna Bowl
    Jay W.

    I have eaten twice here in two days and both times the food was much better than I expected from a hotel restaurant. The Thai Salad was incredibly tasty and carefully assembled--and the salmon I added was cooked just right. Then I had a Poke Tuna bowl and it was even better. Fresh ingredients all around. The beer menu is quite diverse and they have many local options. The only star missing is for the prices. . .just a little much. Beverages about right but the menu items were at least 25% too high.

    Quesadillas
    Elayna D.

    Located inside the Hyatt Regency on the first floor. I was seated and order taken quickly. I was there to redeem points for a meal and it was an ordeal. I was initially told I couldn't redeem points for the meal, which isn't true according to Hyatt customer service and the front desk at this hotel. The waitress spoke to her manager and I had to explain again what I was trying to do, after speaking to the manager the points were redeemed to cover the meal. I must have picked the wrong thing on the menu, but I didn't want to order a big lunch. The quesadilla missed the mark for me. Seasoning was there, they didn't stand out flavor wise, but the presentation was nice. Wouldn't order again. The waitress and manager were nice and was really trying to understand what I was trying to do. Unfortunately they don't have many guests coming in to redeem points often, so that was a barrier. Just glad it was figured out in the end. Redeem points on rooms y'all!!! much easier I'm sure

    Burger with fries to go
    Gabi S.

    I ate here multiple times as I was staying at the Hyatt regency for a work event. The first night I ordered a chicken Ceasar salad and the chicken was soo dry and plain I wish I would have ordered it with something else. The salad and dressing itself was really great- but would choose a different protein. One of the nights I ordered their burger and fries which actually tasted really good that I had it twice during my stay. One of the nights I wanted to order some calamari to go to bring up to my room and I waited over 35 minutes just for the calamari. At that point I wish they would have just been able to bring it up to my room or offered me something for the long wait. The one thing I did enjoy is that when ordering a drink they do allow you to take it up to your hotel room - but they do not offer room service or delivery to the room which I feel would free up space and not cause people to be irritated as they are waiting just for a to go order.

    Solid breakfast in the hyatt regency. Plenty to choose from whether it's the breakfast buffet or Al la carte like we did. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are on the larger side. The steak and eggs was a hit and so were the fresh juices. Service is friendly enough considering how bustling this hotel is. Great stop for a quick breakfast or brunch with colleagues. The open air atrium the restaurant houses is full of life at all hours of the day.

    Rice Bowl
    Earl S.

    I had a terrific lunch here today. The rice bowl was prepared nicely and the turnaround on the order was rather swift. I dined with colleagues and our waiter was nice and quite accommodating. One small piece of my chicken looked as if it was incompletely cooked but the remainder and the bowl with the assortment of vegetables was done very well with an abundance of flavor. I've dined here several times in the past when visiting and staying at the Hyatt Regency Chicago and I've always had pretty good meals. The bar here is also pretty good with an assortment of alcoholic drinks and spirits. It's like the best spot in the hotel complex for dinner or lunch, and seating is often open unless they are very busy.

    Customer service was great, I was checked on frequently by my server and another server. The space is large for a lot of seating and crowds being that this is located inside the Hyatt Regency. I ordered the old fashion and it was just okay, the calamari was really good with the sauce and the craft chopped salad was good (I asked to add carrots). The best was the toffee cheesecake- delicious! Since it is within the hotel, it is pricey but if you are staying within the hotel, you do get a dining credit of $25 when charged to the room.

    Convenient hotel restaurant in the lobby of the hotel. Was a bit spirited and noisy, but offered good lunch options and service was excellent. I had stir fry with salmon. Pretty expensive for lunch. It was ok but overly seasoned.

    Chicken and Waffles
    Monique L.

    I was in Chicago for a conference and since this restaurant was in house, I went there alot. My friend got the Mediterranean bowl and she was really happy about it. I think she appreciated the naan the most. She also had a side order of fries. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and the Turkey Melt. The turkey melt was tasty. It came with a side of fries and the fries here were super good to me. The waffle was exactly how I like it; crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken was chicken strips so heads up if you aren't feeling that. I can do without the syrup though. It wasn't good in my opinion. I think the portion sizes were good too, although I wasn't able to eat all of any dishes I ordered. The portions weren't overly large. Drinks: They have Pepsi products here. I was able to get grapefruit juice which isn't offered most places I eat at home. It was really good so check that out. They had a variety of drinks. You can also order from the bar to your table. The service was really great every time I went. They were attentive and friendly. I only tip 20 percent when it was really good, I normally tip 15. I tipped 20 percent 2/3 times I ate here. It was super busy for lunch time probably because of the conference. Breakfast was a little bit less busy. But keep in mind that this is inside of the hotel so people who are staying here would probably be the ones eating here. If it's busy, it's probably cause some event is happening. This place was convenient which is why I chose to eat here. The service was great but I know I can get more flavorful food elsewhere. It wasn't bad but I would try other places next time.

    The American Craft Kitchen and Bar comprises most of the Hyatt Residency's lower floor plan. The 3? Story open concept atrium consists mostly as the back area for breakfast. Dinner area is typically the bar area of some of the breakfast seating. At night they use different colors to light the area. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet, a $35 ish value per person. A club pass will include breakfast. We went Memorial weekend and it was very busy, including a long line. The service took a bit to get to us and then ask what we wanted. If you know you're doing the buffet I would recommend saying it as you sit down. Or say you want coffee or tea. Orange juice is free. The buffet includes tea / coffee, pancakes or waffles, turkey sausage, sausage, salmon lox / cream cheese, bagels, egg station, cereal, oatmeal, bakery items; fruit, and yogurt. All of the food was good for a buffet.

    Daniel V.

    Amazing breakfast buffet selection. So many delicious things to choose from, including an omelette station. Some of the best salmon I've had, and their bakery items (bagels, croissants, muffins) were so fresh. The servers are very attentive and make sure you've got all your condiments, and water and coffee refilled. Andre was our server a couple days and he's just the nicest! Even though it's auto gratuity (just 15%), they still went above and beyond. All their fruits, hot food trays, and beverages were organised nicely. Every day they have fresh juices, like carrot & ginger, or kale, apple & celery. It also has nice lighting and they have a lot of seating so we were able to get in and eat right away. It's a very good price for what you get.

    How much is the breakfast for toddlers i.e. 1 or 2 year old?

    When you get the buffet kids 5 and under eat free. Also they have a kids menu with very cheap items $5-$8 granted cheap for downtown prices. Hope this helps out...

    Do I have to be a guest to dine here? I am in town for a convention next week

    Anyone can dine here. You don't have to be staying at the Hyatt. I have never actually stayed in the Hyatt but have eaten here frequently.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot.
