Myself and my elderly uncle had a few hours to kill waiting for our flight after a family funeral so we grabbed a couple of beers and our server Jack from Ireland was a brilliant guy, he had great beer suggestions and some witty jokes. It has definitely encourage Arnold (uncle) to visit the Emerald Isles before his pancreas gives way for good. read more

We were enjoying the Bean sculpture today at the Millenium Park for a couple of hours and got thirsty. We saw this place and the staff there were friendly. We had already had breakfast so all we really wanted was a bottle of water. I was glad this place had nice cold bottles on a warm day. They offer snacks and soft drinks also.They are located near the Bean. read more

Not super impressed by this place! It is in a prime location under Cloud Gate, but the food is lacking in flavor. It is dark and moody inside and service is great, but they are not great enough to make it worth eating mediocre food. The filet sliders specifically sounded like an interesting concept, but they don't seem to be very well thought out. read more

Was a bummer that it wasn't set up yet but makes sense. We always stop here for a drink and to just hang out. The summer kinda sucks though because there are so many bees and wasps around, so be mindful of that if you have any allergies. read more

The DIY Pizza Making Class was amazing. You not only get to make a great pizza but you get an appetizer (we had bruschetta) and two drinks. It's great for friends, a date night, etc. the staff was very very friendly. The music was a whole vibe and it was just a good fun time. It was also cozy because it was very cold outside and the temperature inside was just perfect and everyone was there just enjoying themselves. I would definitely do it again. I went with friends this time. Would love to do it as a date night. I made a pepperoni mushroom olive pizza. read more

Stopped here once we flicked the bean. Nice weather so sat at the outdoor beer garden called double clutch brewery co. We had a summer kolsch and a blood orange ale. Beers were 4/5. Bartender/Service was 5/5. Cleanliness 2/5. Hostess 0/5. We might go back but felt very tourist trap-esque. Jake n kev read more

What an interesting event. We did a pizza making event at the Millennium Hall. The staff gave an overview and history of Neapolitan pizza, then a demo of how to make a pizza, then let everyone do their own. Never knew that this type of pizza can be baked in 90 seconds. The environment was a perfectly conducive to hanging out with the attendees, walking around and chatting and munching on the pizza we made. I can't say my pizza was very good, but that was mostly my fault for being a bad pizza maker. read more

Our server was David and he was wonderful. He was very kind and understanding and friendly. Fabian was a very nice staff person. This is a beautiful restaurant because it's right where the bean is and it's so pretty to see that and it's nice to do people watching around here. This is also used as an ice-skating rink in the winter and other events happen here. The ambience is nice because you have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are nice and it's an inviting place. It's also in the heart of all the tourist hot spots downtown so it is a nice place to enjoy food and drinks. They have happy hour 4-6pm where they have $5 dollars off pizza and appetizers. We got the 12" $22 Carni Italiani pizza but it had a little bit of fresh mozzarella cheese and it was super spicy. The meat was tasty. The best part of the pizza was the chewy crust and dough which is not common to find in Chicago. They also have $10 drinks during happy hour. The burger w fries were very good. We even saw a Trump protest against ICE raids and such today while eating bc it's right on Michigan avenue. read more

RE: Double Clutch Brewing Company at Millenium Hall This place has so much potential to be a 4-star or 5-star reviews. Management needs to full staff this place because every server is really giving you their best service despite their circumstances. But it's pretty obvious that this place is not staffed and stocked enough to do so. Expect long wait times, make sure to order all what you want at first, and just enjoy the vibes. I've only tried their happy hour specials (Low Rider Session IPA, Frozen Margaritas, Frozen Rosè, Lumpia, Tomato & Ricotta Bruschetta). The frozen drinks were perfect for the 90 degrees weather, the IPA was solid (not a strong IPA for those wondering about that), and the food was decent. I would come again especially knowing what to expect, but I do hope that management considers fully staffing especially during happy hours and busy days. Your people are working! read more

I feel like I have been living under a rock. All the times we have taken the kids ice-skating, we have never made a stop inside--until now. While waiting for our teens to get off the ice, we decided to warm up indoors. There is a beautiful full bar you can cozy up to and enjoy food and drinks while watching the skaters go by. There's also plenty of table seating inside. Hubby and I ordered a couple of draft beers from our friendly bartender and took a look at the food menu for next time. (The pizza came out and looked delicious.) I was seriously surprised by how reasonable the prices were, considering this is in a very high-traffic area, yet the restaurant felt warm, cozy, and not overcrowded. read more

Short: sent to a tent with reservation, plastic cups, worse service ever!! A females server wished us bad luck on our marathon! We got sent to the tent, given plastic cups. This restaurant was disorganized and staff were overwhelmed and confused. It took an hour for the main course to come, an hour later we asked to cancel the appetizers as they haven't been served. 15 minutes later the waitstaff still came out with the starters with tomato soup and tried to set it on our table. We told our waiter it was unacceptable and she wished us bad luck in our marathon tomorrow. She then told Jorge our server who was kind, to not apologize. She was extremely rude and this is not how she should treat customers who has been patient. Additionally we asked for our plastic cups to be refilled with water from another server with black shirt who was bald headed. He rolled his eyes and walked away. This guys potentially was the manager as he dressed different from others. If I can give 0 start, I would. Just horrible!' Will never be back or never recommend to come here!! read more

We we're in the area for the annual Chicago Jazzfest and we looked for a close by place for a quick bite. We stopped at Millennium Hall (right below the bean - Cloudgate) and had a great experience. After we were seated, we noticed that the Yelp ratings were not that spectacular, bit these were mostly for the outdoor seating area across from the main restaurant. So we hoped that thie indoor restaurant was better. We started with the Pork and Mushroom Lumpia and quite honestly, I so not think I had better! My wife had the Sausage Pizza, my brother had the Chicken Gnocchi, and I had the with Penne in Vodka Sauce. I don't know the difference between the dinning room and the outdoor seating, but ALL the entries were outstanding. We will definitely be returning to Millennium Hall to try out more of the menu. read more

We hosted a private pizza-making event for 15 people. We had the most wonderful time! The staff was great serving us! Chef Edgar was enthusiastic and so clear on his directions for making the pizzas. We also loved learning about the Italian pizza background -- especially in those beautiful ovens! The food!!!! Wow! The menu was simply perfect for our group. The toasted ravioli was delicious. The vegetables were fresh, crisp and so beautifully arranged! I took a bite of the bruschetta when my pizza was supposedly finished by me and when I tasted how delicious those cherry tomatoes were....I HAD to add those to my pizza too! The cannoli was beyond amazing and the fruit was so sweet and tasted like it was right from a summer garden (IN THE WINTER!) Wow! I had the red wine, and that was a lovely wine, too! Everyone appreciated that the ginormous tv was turned on to watch some important-to-our-group football games, too. It was also fun watching the ice skaters right outside the windows. Working with Adri was great, too, in the planning of this event. THANK YOU to Millennium Hall for making our staff event a success. We thought the price was extremely fair for the quality of the food and the service AND on top of that, we had a fun activity making pizzas!! read more

Rating: 2.5/5 Was walking in Grant Park after leaving from The Bean. Was a little hungry and saw their pop-up stand. I've never had a Chicago dog and so that's what I ordered. I don't have have anything else to compare it to but I'm sure there's better around. It was okay -- decent. I didn't like that one side of the bread that had the poppy seeds was kind of hard/slightly crunchy. I'd imagine it shouldn't have been like that... read more

This is a really cool spot one to cool off from the heat and muggy weather. They have good food and the our server Alex was very helpful. He explained the difference between all of the restaurants which ones did what served what and where you can eat. His service was top notch.

I had no idea a full-service restaurant existed in this space until I had the opportunity to attend the Lakeshore East/Magellan Happy Hour here last Friday. Upon walking in, I provided my name to the host, and was given two free drink tickets in return. There are tables and chairs at the front of the restaurant, with a large bar area located just beyond, past a couple of short steps. In addition to seating around the curved bar, there are also a few (3-4) high-top tables in the space. For my two drinks, I opted for white wine. There were two separate varieties - the first pour was reminiscent of a chardonnay and the second had a more minerally flavor like a sauvignon blanc, although different names were provided on the menu. Current crush enjoyed his cranberry margarita (served on the rocks as he prefers) and an Oberon IPA. In addition to drinks, there was a buffet-style food station featuring Millennium Hall's signature flatbread pizzas, what looked like a pasta bake, and wings/other breaded apps (highly specific I know- LOL). The thin-crust mushroom pizza was a standout, but of course I love mushrooms. During my visit, I had a chance to chat with the owner. Originally from the Northeast, he had a vision to open a restaurant in the heart of Millennium Park that would appeal to both tourists and locals, through a variety of special events, including pizza making classes, and M-F happy hours. I can definitely see this concept working as a venue for wedding receptions and holiday parties. I will also point out that post-event, I got a follow-up email from a marketing/events manager at Millennium Hall thanking everyone for visiting and spotlighting some upcoming events. Thank you, Millennium Hall for making us feel welcome on a Fall Friday! read more

Stopped in to Napolita Pizzeria to do their Neapolitan pizza making class. We found the event on chicago Bucketlisters and we weren't sure what to expect. But figured what the heck, let's check it out. I am so, so glad we did. We had a BLAST! The whole experience was extremely well done - super organized - from the instruction, to set up, drinks and the tasty little bruschetta starter. From the moment we arrived everyone was helpful, polite, fun, and professional. I had no idea the restaurant that used to be here closed (during covid) and this fantastic Neapolitan pizzeria opened in its place. They even have BEAUTIFUL black and white tiled imported pizza ovens. Anyway, a few minutes after arriving the bar was all set up we were checked in and able to get a variety of beers and wines, we were served bruschetta and then instruction started. The main instructor (I forgot his name but I believe he is british) was great! Thorough explanations and he did a great demonstration - he's a funny guy too! We then got to dig right in and stretch our dough out and pick between a white (Alfredo - ish) sauce or a simple Marzano tomato sauce, a great selection of toppings, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, salami, bacon, pepperoni, sausage, and had fantastic fresh creamy Buffalo mozzarella cheese! Once your pizza was ready you gave 1/2 of your number ticket to a member of the event staff and less than 3 minutes later - they called your number and your pizza was piping hot and ready. They had parm, red pepper flakes, truffle oil, olive oil, and I think a chili oil to finish off your masterpiece. The open bar ran for about 90 mins and they had a last call before closing the bar. I loved this event and I hope they continue to do this - i would do it again! https://bucketlisters.com/event/diy-pizza-and-sip?source=collections read more

I had a Chicago style hotdog. Bad news! The bun must've been five days old and the hot dog was any that you can buy at a regular grocery store. They tried to cover it up with a bunch of mustard, relish, and pickles. I had to walk over to a neighboring table just to get napkins. There was none on my table and the waitress didn't offer to get any. read more

My friend and I were walking past and we saw their board advertising happy hour and we decided to give it a try. We ordered the bruschetta and funghi pizza. The bruschetta was pretty good! I was very fresh and the crostini's were nice and crunchy. The pizza kind of took me by surprise because it was really watery for some reason and I wasn't expecting button mushrooms. It was very okay to me. I honestly feel like I wouldnt come back here again, happy hour or not. read more

Stopped by this place after visiting the Chicago Bean since it's conveniently located directly under it and all I can say is wow! It wasn't busy at all even though it was a Sunday afternoon. Everything was rather inexpensive and it tasted phenomenal! My first bite of the cheese tortelloni was immaculate. I enjoyed it so much that I woke up today thinking about it. The cannoli was a fun surprise because typically when you order a cannoli only one comes, however they brought out 2 on the plate which they sell for just $7! The cannoli itself was great, I've had better but this one was still tasty. Definitely will have to come back here soon! read more

Review of Millennium Hall Restaurant. Restaurant at Millennium Park, Chicago. Visited 7/13/24. It was not so much the average food and mediocre service that my family found so distressing. It was the fact that we were charged a 3% surcharge on our bill to "help fund programs such as health insurance", and then charged an additional 20% gratuity because as a group of 4 adults and 2 kids a "20% gratuity is automatically added to all parties of six or more." We were never told about the additional 23% we were going to be charged on top of our bill by our waiter, but we were later informed that it was printed in extremely small print at the bottom right hand corner of our menu. On top of all that , when the waiter brought us the bill, we were asked to pay an additional 7% gratuity on top of the added 23% for a total of 30% gratuity asked. While I am in support of efforts to ensure the fair and competitive compensation of our very hard workers in the restaurant industry, these gratuities were not just excessive, but because they were not adequately disclosed, also very deceptive. Combined with a meal and service that was at best average, this lead to a very disappointing experience. Restaurants are really hurting themselves with a gratuity system that is out of control. Inflation has already priced out many families from the joy of eating out even occasionally. When the restaurant industry starts to believe it can add upwards of 30% to these very high prices, it makes me fear for the financial health of the hospitality industry going forward. read more

This place gets my vote for worst service in Chicago. We were seated and then no one came to serve us, I went to the hostess stand and asked for a server, nada. Waived down a server walking past, he smiled at me, kept walking and then pointed at us to a hostess and they laughed! Stopped a lady who I assume was the manager (she wasn't wearing a t-shirt like everyone else), she said someone would come and help us. Ended up being 20 minutes after being seated before someone finally took our order. We spent the entire visit watching the exhibitor wander around from table to table carrying food asking if they had ordered it because he didn't know the table numbers. It was like the entire staff had graduated from high school on Friday and had been let loose on customers on Saturday with no training or guidance from management. Typical tourist joint, don't give a hoot about customer service because they're assuming everyone is a tourist and won't be back. read more

Went to Casa Bonita today. Was visited twice by the server to let us know both our frozen drink orders were out of service but 2 friends had already paid and squared away their check. It was nice they ran somewhere to find a replacement but then the said 2 friends left before the rest of us and the waitress said she forgot to charge them for the chips ($14) they ordered so we had to cover. Turns out the friends actually paid so we were double charged. Also they're broke and charge the 3% surcharge since they can't pay their own staff benefits and 401k's and don't tell you it's on the check. If you're broke make room for people who can afford to be there with competent servers, BYE. read more

Trying to remember if I've had a worse meal in Chicago, and I cannot remember one. Service was very very slow, we sat for 10 minutes without seeing any trace of any wait staff. In fairness our bus person brought water right away. Ordered a burger, kinda simple, right? Burger was a hockey puck, even though I'd ordered it medium, clearly one of those pre-formed, industrial food service, factory style food that arrives at the kitchen in a frozen box. If that beef ever got close to the menu boast that it was Angus it must have been in a dream. Just horrible. French fries arrived barely warm and limp, hard to imagine they were anywhere other than the warmer before they hit the plate. It was a holiday weekend, so I'd normally give a little leeway for slow service, IF the place had been more than a quarter full. It's just a shame that the city cannot find a more representative restaurant for such a premium tourist location. With so many smaller, ethnic restaurants all over all our neighbor, I wish the city could put forward some of,those folks. read more

I surprised my girlfriend with tickets to Napolita Pizzeria's Cooking Class for date night and just my luck, the day I booked ended up being a wet dreary one. I was worried she was going to want to pick a movie, bake some cookies and call it a night. However, when I explained we had tickets to make pizza's together while watching passersby ice skate in front of the Chicago Bean you chug a coffee, turn off the tele, and get going! The class itself was mid-sized, there was about 25-30 of us and we were all able to spread apart and have our privacy. You get two drinks each, and they let you choose any on their menu. The head chef is funny and charismatic. The process itself was easy...for most of us anyways. If you're daring enough to toss your dough in the air like a professional you won't get dirty because they give you a slick white apron. And if you're helpless like me, they don't charge you extra when you ruin your first dough and have to restart. It's worth the effortless elbow grease because in my humble opinion the pizza taste a little better when that grease is yours. The toppings were limited but the ones you do get to choose from are elite and are only enhanced when you top it off with complimentary basil and Chili oil. Make it a date night you won't regret it! read more

I was here for an internship last summer and it was the worst experience in my life.I expected professionalism when I joined the team. Instead I was hit with really bad staff. They treated me like crap, called me racial slurs behind my back in Spanish knowing i couldn't speak it. So they fired me (A black man btw) out of NOWHERE for no reason.
