Restaurant is amazing with some of the best service I've had in years. They were so accomodating and hospitable. Food was always fresh and flavorful. We had breakfast and lunch here!! Located in the Millenium knickerbocker hotel right in the heart of downtown chicago. Me and my daughters enjoyed our stay there partly due to this restaurant ! read more

Breakfast this morning was excellent. The poached eggs plate contained a yummy made in house tomotillo sauce over perfectly cooked jammy eggs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definately the place to go if your in the neighborhood. read more

I've been to Nix for breakfast multiple times. The food is always good and the service is exceptional. I've been to five star resorts that don't deliver service like this. Today my server was Andre who is terrific. He was supported by two other people (including the manager), and together they are on top of every detail in a way that is very rare these days. read more

I'm in town for a girls' weekend with friends and we happened upon this place for breakfast. The service was absolutely top notch with every employee being kind, helpful, and quick. Our server, Andre, showed great attention to detail with anticipation of our needs. He gave recommendations for our time in Chicago and took excellent care of us at breakfast. The food and drinks were delicious!! We split two breakfast pizzas between four of us in our party and it was the perfect amount of food. The breakfast pizza was a flatbread style with superb seasoning that complimented the egg, bacon, and sun dried tomato toppings. The restaurant itself is tucked into the lobby of the Knickerbocker hotel and was quiet and welcoming. Highly recommend for a low key, delicious, and welcoming breakfast. read more

Great place for breakfast! The food was good, nice atmosphere and the staff was amazing!!!!

Ate here for daily breakfast while we were staying at the Millenium Knickerbocker hotel off of the Magnificent Mile. Menu was simple but pretty delicious. Service varied - overall folks were friendly, but placing your order and getting the food took a little longer than I would have liked. Over the course of our stay we tried the smoked salmon eggs benedict, American breakfast, french toast, blueberry buttermilk pancakes, and the omelette. All of the above were delicious although the pancakes were a little thick. If you get the orange juice, it does taste fresh squeezed like Odwalla, so was pleased it wasn't your typical chalky minute maid stuff. Nice hotel-like decor but I'd allocate a solid 45-minutes for breakfast. read more

Good but on the pricey side. The food was not so fantastic that it set them apart from any other place. I opted for salmon benedict and I was really expecting the standard slice of tomato on there. But it only came w/the muffin, smoked salmon, egg, hollandaise. Coffee was ok and they were super generous with the refills. read more

NiX was a great find for breakfast when staying along the Mag Mile in January 2022. Very clean with an excellent breakfast menu, quick service and friendly staff. NiX is located off the lobby of the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel (Across the street from the Drake Hotel). Newly opened, it is a refreshing addition to the area for breakfast and lunch. American Breakfast Omlette Reopened January 2022, reviews prior to January 2022 do not represent this restaurant. read more

Food was good enough, but there was an issue with the charge...but first the food: I had the chicken pesto sandwich. The chicken was a bit dry and it needed more pesto flavor, but it wasn't a bad flavor combination overall. And the bun was toasted perfectly. The fries were only ok. Office Mom got the prime burger; she thought it was only ok, but the bacon strip I stole was great. Coworker got the crab salad; I tasted a piece of crab, it wasn't particularly flavorful, but at least it wasn't fishy. Dessert: The caramel brownie was awesome, probably my favorite part of the meal. The lemon tart was meh, and the tart Milano (can't remember the name) was death by chocolate and pretty dry - would not recommend. Then comes the billing portion of the meal. We had a cert, which they took off correctly (and thank goodness - it's got the typical higher hotel restaurant prices). When they went to charge the debit card, they put an extra $13 or so on there. Office Mom gets a text each time her card is used, so she was able to compare it to the bill. When she questioned them about it, first they tried to tell her the charge wasn't closed out yet - but uh, we're treasury folks, we know how the banks work and that's just incorrect... Then we were told the system went down and that they would credit her back the next day - which they did, eventually, but it was still a questionable incident. When all's been said and done, eat here if you can get a discount, but check your charges. read more

This lil' gem was located in the hotel we stayed at whilst in Chicago - Millennium's Knickbocker. We went down for breakfast twice while staying in the hotel, and it was just all around delicious, quaint, and perfect. Went for the eggs Benedict with salmon the first go around....yes...not vegetarian but fish is the only exception....technically that's pescatarian but anyways. It was simply amazing. Th 2nd dish consisted of an spinach omelet....there was another ingredient or two but they've escaped me at the moment. It was delicious but the salmon eggs Benedict was definitely the better choice of the two. Both dishes came with a side order of seasoned red potatoes - also amazing. Both of the waiters were super friendly and on the ball as far as keeping my java intake flowing. Service was great - food came out quickly. Overall, both visits consisted of a lovely breakfast experience. They are more on the $$ end as far as breakfast goes but definitely worth it. read more

NiX Restaurant - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Solid 3.5. Much more reasonable priced than expected as well as portioned (especially when compared to other hotel restaurants in the area). Service is a little slow, but nothing to really complain about. Rating would be higher, but there is so much good food in the local area your better off walking a block and eating somewhere else! read more

This review is about the service, not the food, as twice I was unable to actually eat here. First morning (I was staying at the hotel), the host said it would be a 20-30 minute wait so, I went to the West Egg Cafe near the convention I was attending. The second morning I had more time so I thought I'd give it another try. Was seated by the same host. Waited. Busboy approached with coffee. I asked if I could order. He demurred. Waited 8 minutes without seeing any servers OR anyone actually eating....hmmm.....bad sign. At 11 minutes waiter appeared with a tray. The people next to me pleaded 'sir, where is our breakfast??' He answered 'it's on the third tray after this one!' I quietly left. Knickerbocker: lovely hotel! Breakfast room needs attention! read more

We are staying close by so we decided to try out Nix. So happy we gave it a shot. The food was delicious - I had the poached eggs over green salsa and potatoes. What really stood out about this place was Andre, our server. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. Loved how personable he was and how well taken care of we were. The other guys never left us without beverages and we're also very friendly. read more

Just tried it because of the certificate from restaurant.com. The food was okay. Goose Island BBQ Chicken was too sweet. Grilled Asparagus was tasty. A bit expensive. Not a big fan.... read more

Went for breakfast before checking out of the Knickerbocker after celebrating my beau's birthday. Kinda spendy (wish I would've known they are on Restaurant.com). Omelets were yummay. Nice hotel restaurant. read more

Went there for dinner Friday night. The fresh fish special was softshell crab po boy. I love softshell crab. This po boy was LE-GIT. They fly the softshell crab in live. 'Nuff said. One of the best soft shell crab po boys I've had in Chicago. read more

My husband & I were staying at the hotel and had breakfast here a couple of times. Everyone is very friendly. We stopped by on a Saturday about 11:30 and asked if they were still serving breakfast. Even though they weren't, the waiter said it wouldn't be a problem and brought us breakfast menus. The food is very good and they give you a lot of it! My omlette was super fluffy and very filling. The next day I had the waffles. Again, super fluffy and very tasty. Our waiter brought out 3 different butters for me to try. read more

Located inside of the Knickerbocker hotel is a nice, comfortable restaurant with a simple menu. The ambiance is good, the food is good, and the service is very good. When I was there, the director of the hotel was having lunch with a few executives. So, is it fair to say that I received a little better service? Probably so. But, I still have to rate it a four out of five because I reserve a five for those who have great food, great service at a great price. We ordered soup, spring rolls, and a crab cake sandwich, and all were delicious. We also used a restaurant.com certificate without any problems whatsoever. read more

I honestly debated between giving a 2 or 3 star rating. The restaurant was clean and had a nice setup. Our waiter was friendly enough, although he charged us for two coffees when we only ordered one. He fixed it no problem. At this point we were ready to pay but he just dropped the fixed bill on the table and walked away. After a few minutes, I went to find him and he was up front counting money when I handed him our bill. A bit odd. The food is what really brought down the score. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and it had a very strange taste ... Almost like a kitchen wash rag. And my boyfriend said his eggs tasted funny as well. It was a big on the expensive side for what it was. I wish we had enjoyed it more because the hotel itself was fantastic. read more

liked the warm pretzel roll, got the kobe burger which was a little too dry but still good. also got the prosciutto flatbread w/ mushrooms which was pretty darn delicious. not sure if i'd crave it per se but it wasn't a bad meal read more
