    Breakfast omelette with toast!
    Allison R.

    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.

    Caramel Brownie - warm and gooey, so delicious!

    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.

    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.

The broth is the kind you want to keep dipping bread into and practically lick off your fingers afterward -- flavorful, savory, and a little briny without being the heavy creamy type of sauce that some places do. Very comforting but not overly rich. Honestly, I don't even remember all the other dishes we've ordered over the years, but our experiences have consistently been good. Service is polished, the space feels classic Chicago, and it's a great place to relax before or after a performance downtown.

We went on the memorial weekend, and we didn't know we are getting the brunch intead of the lunch menu. We were so gonna get that fish and chips equivalent, so it took us some time to finally decided on the meal choice. My husband got the breakfast with chicken sausages, while I got the burger. Their burger is great with two thin patties. The veggies and pickles with it is delicious. The bun is pretty good. The fries was decent. His breakfast is so much better than mine though! I tried everything on his plate and it was good! After we finished our meal, we also took some nice pictures at the balcony which you can see all the way to the Field Museum area on a nice weather day. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Grant Park area. We actually visited the cloud gate, fountain, The cultural center, Target/5 below, comic stores, route 66 sign, Chicago stock exchange arch, and the art institution all in that trip. Very convenient! Their reservation opens 2 weeks before. If we ever go back to Chicago, we will definitely visit them again. Hopefully I will complete my Invisalign treatment and can actual eat more food! The elevator is very "vintage" btw. We tried both the express and regular elevators and that was an interesting ride...
