This was another win. Jaxx Bistro and Lounge delivered a delicious, reasonably priced experience at the Hyatt Regency. The Smash burger was exactly what I was looking for: juicy, flavorful, appetizing. Abel was my server and he was attentive, polite. Ambiance is great, the service is quick, and I look forward to visiting again next month. Hope they have the speciality drinks again. I stuck with the bourbon this go around. Well done, Jazz Bistro. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a bite bc we saw a picture of Chilean Sea Bass. Lo and behold, that's not on their menu. The menu is pretty bland, we order Caesar salad for both of us one each and we ordered extra grilled chicken. The waiter charged us for a large party! (It was literally just us 2...) The kitchen is limited, the flavor is boring and bland, overall a skip in our book. read more

Weekday dinner. The good: apple cobbler (a la mode) was delicious and made in-house. Mediterranean salad was decent--the grilled bread toasts were a good touch. Service was good even if the kitchen was a bit slow. The bad: I ordered a bowl of tortilla soup and it was a tiny bowl. It tasted like a bowl of tomato soup thickened with a bit of corn tortillas. Not good. read more

Now that I'm a fairly regular guest at the Hyatt Deerfield, I've really come to appreciate everything Jaxx Bistro & Lounge has to offer. In addition to the new decor, Jaxx has updated its menu, now offering a wider selection of dinner options, including a DIY meal, where you select the protein, sauce and sides. Excellent for picky eaters, or those with food allergies. The friendly and helpful staff are quick with recommendations, and service is quite efficient. My new favorite dinner item is the sea bass, but their burgers are quite tasty too. Breakfast is always good, with eggs cooked to order and tons of fresh fruit. And for those on the go, Jaxx has a tiny Starbuck's kiosk near the front of the restaurant. read more

The missus and I were looking for a place to have dinner late Sunday night but most places were closed so we turned to the trusty Yelp app to find a place that was still open - that's how we stumbled upon this place. And we're glad that we did! Located at the ground floor of the Hyatt, the prices are a little on the high side but the quality of the food was up there as well so no complaints from us. We had the Crab Cakes and the Pasta Roberto which were simply amazing, especially the Pasta - gorgeous flavors, plump juicy shrimp, melt in your mouth tomatoes... we'll certainly be back for more. read more

Never enjoyed. Reconfirmed a few months ago. Pastrami overpriced and not as large a sandwich as Flakowitz. Summer promotions at Flakowitz will resume with 2 for 1. Neither establishment knows how to make customers feel welcome. read more

This is a typical restaurant you'll find at most business hotels. The servers are super polite and provide great service. Like many similar places, the food seems a bit overpriced and boring. It's great quality, but a cheese burger is a cheese burger etc. The breakfast buffet is huge with a great variety. If I was able to over-eat, it's a great deal. Coffee is good. Is a good place for business meetings and a quick bite. read more

The only reason you'd probably be eating here is because you're traveling for business. That being said, it's a solid choice, offers enough healthy options, the menu has a nice variety. It is a bit overpriced, but I suppose that's what happens in hotel restaurants - plus, if you're traveling for business, you're going to expense your meal anyways. I had dinner and lunch here (because that's what happens when you travel for work and never leave the hotel). They'll start you off with sliced multigrain bread and a large pretzel bread, both of which are delicious. It's served with a honey butter. If you're trying to exercise self control, pass on the bread because you'll likely eat all of it in one sitting. I had the sea bass ($34) for dinner and it was light and delicious. It was served with 2 slices of roasted tomato and spinach. No complaints, other than it was a little on the pricey side. The next day, I had the French Onion Soup ($6.50), which was also good - it had good flavor without being too salty. I asked for half the cheese, which was the right amount of cheese for me. The size is fairly substantial too and enough to share between two people. My favorite dish from them was the Farmer's Green Salad with Salmon ($15). Yes, pricey for a salad but at least the lettuce mix was fresh (the worst is getting wilted, rotting pieces of salad), and the salmon was cooked perfectly and was flavorful, not bland. I think just the salad alone would have filled me out - I'd definitely recommend it and would get it again the next time I'm here. All in all, I was pleased with the quality of the food here and would recommend it if you're traveling for work and don't have to foot the bill. read more

We were looking for a place to eat on a Monday night having arrived in town fairly late. We found this restaurant on Yelp, didn't realize it was at a hotel, but decided to give it a try. It was amazing. From the warm fresh bread to our entrees, everything was delicious. My husband had the veggie burger my daughter had pasta with shrimp and I had tuna tacos. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. We were hungry and the food came out super fast. The cinnamon waffle alamode with chocolate cigars was a great finish to a delicious meal. Whether or not you are staying at the Hyatt Regency we highly recommend this restaurant read more

"Angelo! Rigo!", I exclaim, bee-lining to the bar before checking in to my room. They reply with a smiling glimmer of familiarity, "HEY! Good to see you again!" I can't imagine Angelo and Rigo, the awesome bartenders at Hyatt Deerfield's Jaxx Bistro & Lounge, recall everyone they've met over the years, but they make it a point to consistently treat guests with friendly welcome and comforting hospitality. They're one of my favorite parts of the Hyatt Deerfield/Jaxx experience when I travel! Hyatt Deerfield is one of the preferred accommodations when travelling to work's corporate HQ (Northbrook), so I've stayed there a few times (and probably will a few more). Great, great hotel (linky:http://www.yelp.com/biz/hyatt-hotels-and-resorts-deerfield?hrid=U7io5AtKFLKkJ_eqA5GivA ), but there's a scarcity of nearby [walking distance] restaurants/entertainment and sometimes you just aren't in the mood to venture out, cars or cabs or shuttles withstanding. In a pinch, Jaxx (or room service provided by Jaxx) offers decent fare at an understandable premium (http://deerfield.hyatt.com/en/hotel/dining/JaxxBistro.html) when hunger hits, and a decent bar/lounge when the hotel room feels isolating. The Breakfast buffet ($18) hits the spot (or spots, depending on how much you put on your plate!) and is a great start to the work day! Eggs two ways, sausage, bacon, breakfast breads, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt & dairies, etc. The abundance of laptop toters and sharply-attired early risers converged every morning in the restaurant is indicative how much this is a business travellers' hotel. THe morning waitstaff are pleasantly attentive and friendly, setting a great mood. There's also a Starbucks kiosk for those "shoot! Got up late and the shuttle is about to leave!" mornings. The lunch Meyer™ natural angus burger ($13) with aged white cheddar, onion jam, & horseradish sauce on a brioche bun is a decent, satisfying sandwich, served with fries or chips for extra guilty gluttony. It's got the kind of heft and slight glisteny sheen that any self-respecting burger should have, so have an extra napkin at the ready. Plus, it's one of the more accessible and reasonably priced items on the menu, allowing some wiggle room on the per diem for necessary liberties of the liquid kind. Priorities. The dinner Chilean Sea Bass sautéed, over spinach and oven-roasted tomatoes with saffron broth ($36) was light and uncomplicated. I don't often do much fine dining, so I have little experience to compare to, but this dish was flavorful and delicate, deservedly getting top billing (and priciest!) on the hotel menu. The beer & liquor program here is sufficient - there are usually 5 taps carrying the usual array of beers (lager, IPA, wheat, amber, something local, etc), as well as a couple bottled beers, wines, plus liquors and mixers. The dining area & bar are great venues for people watching and mingling IF there are activities being held in the hotel - this Hyatt is a popular venue, it seems, for conferences and the bar sees quite a bit of liberal "put it on the company card" traffic - otherwise, it can be serenely vacant. Some nights the hours have flown by while chatting with conference goers at the bar, some nights have been spent at a lobby table quietly dining by the glow of a laptop. In either situation, Jaxx has been an apt setting. While driving to/through a nearby town or trekking into Chicago proper for dinner/drinks/night out would be fun and/or picturesque, sometimes you gotta choose to stay near and enjoy the perks you have. Thankfully, Jaxx makes enjoying those perks comforting and worthwhile. I'm looking forward to the next trip and stay. ________________________________________ Plus, being an elevator ride away from your room, shower, and bed are a blessing when a stressful day at work means dinner is "beer & whiskey, neat, please?" read more

Had dinner here last night with a friend and it was awesome. Love that they have healthy options! Was a little hard to find, it would be good to have a sign outside....or mention somewhere that it is inside the hotel. read more

Above average hotel restaurant with good beef and seafood selections, interesting apps too. Wine selections are good and very nice full service bar with specialty cocktails. I had salmon with tasty sides, nice filet and well prepared (not overdone as if often the case). Crab bisque ok but that's MD perspective, prolly shoulda gone with French onion. Service at Jaxx is top notch. At dinner but also had breakfast and meetings multiple days and wait staff are pros, perfect amount of TLC. read more

Food is good. Extremely friendly waitstaff. Slightly overpriced because it's in a hotel. Good enough that I didn't get sick of eating here three nights of the week while I was traveling for business. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Came here 3 days in a row and the quality of the food just kept improving.

Isaias was the best! He had excellent customer service and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend this restaurant as all staff are super friendly! read more

Why this restaurant is not busier on a Saturday night, I'm not sure because the food is delicious. Stayed 1 night for business & ate at Jaxx. The Chilean Sea Bass is amazing!! Love that they don't ruin a mild fish by covering it in an unnecessary sauce. Instead they serve it with roasted spinach & tomatoes and let the flavors shine!! Kudos to the chef! read more

Great variety of choices and very well prepared. Had an excellent napolean salad as a starter that was atypical for me. I have to say that this was one of the best salads that I have every had!!!! Main meal was also fantastic (a healthy Penne with olives etc.... An entirely wonderful dining experience. read more

Went to breakfast for Mother's Day and had the buffet. Nice selection of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. and baked goods. Hash browns were delicious as was the fresh fruit. While the food was really good and the ambience more than pleasant, what stands out most is the wait staff. Luis (I hope I have the name right!) and Frank were as welcoming as welcoming can be. Friendly and attentive. Never intrusive. We spoke with Luis how we hadn't visited the restaurant for a good 15 years and he promptly brought us up to speed on changes made to the dining area, hotel, etc. He mentioned if we saved our breakfast check receipt, we would be able to receive 20% off our next dinner at Jaxx. He then went on to enthusiastically describe the dinner menu and pointed out his favorites. He went and got a dinner menu so we could see for ourselves. This was all before 7am. Total kindness and passion for his job. Even though both my husband and I had the buffet, Frank was there to make sure coffee was refilled, make certain our choices of juice were brought out promptly and was a total gentleman in assisting me with my chair when returning to the table from the buffet. Hyatt Management please take note! Impressive and a real cause for our return for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Thanks for a perfect start to my Mother's Day read more

Food was very good. A friend I had plenty of variety. We had the shrimp cocktail which was very good. We had the crab cakes and they were very good as well....didn't care for the sauce that came with it. The filets were very good as well. Then we finished it off with dessert. He had the apple cobbler which smelled wonderful and I had the chocolate cake that was great read more

gotta try their crab cake eggs benedict. nuf said.

Great alternative to the crowded places in Addison. Good food and drinks set in a old time bar that looks lit could be a hunting lodge.
