    Spicy Avocado Toast
    Ronna I.

    This restaurant is located in the Staypineapple Hotel. We had breakfast here and the Spicy Avocado Toast was really good. There was no skimping of avocado ,and the egg was cooked just right. It was runny enough so that it mixed well with the bread and vegetables. It's called Spicy Avocado Toast, but it was not spicy in terms of heat. It was flavorful but not spicy hot. The decor is beautiful as this is in the historic Reliance building. The abundance of natural light makes this a warm and inviting place for a leisurely breakfast. Service was friendly.

    Conveniently located in the loop inside the Staypineapple Hotel, Mariela is primed to succeed if they can execute on their menu and service. The interior is gorgeous and the natural light highlights the bar at the center of the space. The high ceilings makes this spot feel larger than it is, but it does have quite a number of tables and bar seating. The service is very soft-spoken and friendly without being too intrusive. Reservations were challenging to make for my party of nine. Calls, voicemail, email, and IG DMs were never returned until my spouse called one more time and finally got someone on the phone. In spite of this, once we got here, we were greeted and served with warmth. The food took quite a bit of time - over half an hour for French toast, fish sandwiches, pancakes, and large avocado salad. When the food finally hit our table, the food was received with great pleasure. The presentation is nice and the menu options are different from the typical stuff found in the Loop. I also got a chai latte and that had a nice mix of spices which are frequently lacking in other establishments. Overall I love the character of this place, the food, and friendly staff. Hopefully the kitchen can execute a little faster, but the menu was a winner for my party.

    The Seafood Arroz Negro

    I have been the restaurant chooser in our family for over 15 years now. Between newspapers, Infatuation, Eater, Yelp, magazines, Open Table, word of mouth, I've been able to find some pretty serious restaurants! Low and behold, my wife wanted to put her spin on the restaurant scene lately and she's been crushing it with these hidden, esoteric restaurants that have been absolutely amazing; like tonight's Mariela at the The StayPineapple Hotel in the Chicago Loop. Mariela is pretty much a seafood centric restaurant with variations of Spain, France, Mexico and combinations of other areas all of which, is startling, stunning and astonishing dishes. In other words, this place takes you by surprise and us four patrons were delighted with what happened this evening. Edwin, our tour guide on this culinary trip was Mariela's greatest ambassador for this evening. While the dishes on their menu were so complex (in a good way) Edwin explained what we were about to experience: * Closed Loop Gem Salad with Pistachio Green Goddess * Tom Yum Aguachile with Prawns, Garlic Serrano Achar, Coconut Pico, Smoked Trout Roe * Singaporean Chili Crab Agnolotti with King Crab, Sweet & Spicy Chili Crab Sauce, Scallion * Prawns à la Oaxaquenos made with Grilled Jumbo Prawns, Chintexle, Sesame, Coconut Rice * Seafood Arroz Negro with Squid Ink Sofrito, Octopus, Scallops, Uni Hot Sauce * Rasmalai Trea Leches done with Olive Oil Citrus Cake, Mango Mousse, Saffron-Cardamom Milk * The cocktails - see below Everything, and I mean everything put in front of us was not only delicious, but was appealing to our eyes; how often does that happen. That took care of the food side of this wonderful restaurant. Now comes the beverage side, which was like everything mentioned above. Their mixologist (it would be incorrect to call him a bartender) was making cocktails like from another planet? Even my wife with the most sophisticated palette I've ever seen, couldn't figure out what was in those drinks that made them so good? The ambiance was modern chic, the noise level was nonexistent and the price of this extravagant dinner was well worth what we experienced. After what happened at Mariela's tonight, I am ceding my restaurant choosing to my now anointed wife! Bravo Mariela!!!!!

    This place has been opened for 3 weeks. Its cuisine is unique - coastal fusion. The food was delicious. My favorite was the poached halibut. Although the food was great, it was slightly overpriced for the portion sizes. Service was good. It's located in the loop. Lots of bright lights. Big restaurant and tables were far apart from each other. Cute decor. I look forward to going back.

    One of Chicago's most renowned Italian Beef Sandwiches, originating in 1938. A special trip to try…read moreit, and it was truly satisfying. Regular Combo: A combination of beef and sausage. The meat portion was very generous; the beef was thinly sliced ​​but juicy and not dry or hard at all; the sausage had a rich smoky flavor, not too salty, and tastes a lot like Harbin red sausage. Al's Classic Hand-Cut Fries: They were piping hot when I received them, so touching! I couldn't taste the hand-cut texture, but there was a spice powder similar to salt and pepper, and the flavor was quite good.

    3-ish stars rounded up. The roast beef was a little on the dry-stringy side but the bread was…read morespongy-soft (absorbed the beef drippings so well!). Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog. Fries are the type that are greasy to the touch; not my fave style of fries but I know it's a well-liked one to others. Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.

    Great lunch/breakfast spot with fast service and simple/fresh sandwiches…read more The oven roasted turkey sandwich was great, tasted like something my grandma would make me (in a good way). Will be back.

    I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.
