What a lucky lady am I to have been invited to lunch at this wonderful place! Beyond wonderful, actually...... More like SUPER DUPER WONDERFUL! The food was better than the view and the view was better than the food and the food was better..... (ummm... you get it, right?)
The "Mid-Day Club" is a private club at the top of the Liberty Building that serves lunch during the week..... and is also open occasionally for special events..... and is able to be booked for members' private parties. It's kind of upscale, but also very welcoming and relaxing and warm and elegant. I loved it there!
The lunch menu has specials each day as well as the usual choices of salads, sandwiches, and entrees. I was told that the soups (choice of two on the day I was there) are fantastic.... so of course I had to order some.
That chilled pea soup with mint and chives was quite possibly the best thing I've ever tasted! It was like springtime in a bowl..... fresh, flavorful, and yup...the prettiest shade of green....I could have begun and ended my meal there and been happy. Actually if I brought a few gallons home I would have been happier, but I think that might be frowned upon when dining at a private club.
My Greek salad was equally fresh and delicious..... topped with lots of crumbly feta, dressed just right, and accompanied by perfectly warmed pita triangles, it was one terrific salad.
Sometimes it's just oh-so-nice to be treated to a lunch at the top of the city where one can enjoy a brief vacation in the middle of the work day complete with great conversation, delicious food, and the most amazing views. Like I said, I'm a lucky lady! read more
