We stayed at the Hyatt for C2E2 2024. Although I had in and out parking privileges, me and The Queen did not want to go out to eat per se. Me and The Queen dined here for breakfast. The prices were not bad for hotel food, $24 for all you can eat. There was an option to order from the main menu or do the buffet, so we went with the buffet. They did not have an omelette station, but you were able to have a made to order one made for you. There was the typically breakfast brunch fair, but I noticed that they kept it moving so it was fresh. I loved that they had smoked salmon with all the fixings for bagels and lox. Even though it was a buffet, the staff was on point checking in on us. And I loved that some of them were in cosplay :-) For those who may have been on a budget, you could get your fill here at breakfast and skip lunch. ALthough we were not on a budget, by the time we finished, trust me you did not want lunch. read more

Food was good, generous portions and service was nice and helpful with questions about the area.

Was here for a conference and this was one of the only places for breakfast. Was sat promptly, and was told that someone would be by in a moment. Looking around I noticed several tables waiting for food so I decided to get the buffet. Pretty standard setup with egg's to order and omelettes. However there was no chef to be seen. After I got my buffet food I went back to my table to find that no one had been back to get me a drink. I ate my food and finally someone can by to take my drink order. I noticed other tables getting up without getting third food. read more

Had breakfast here a couple of times. The buffet is very good you get a made to order omelette that is bought to you by the waitress. No lines. There is a griddle pancake of the day. Eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal & fixings, fresh fruit including oranges, bananas & melons( which are not on the menu separately), lox, capers, cream chees., yogurt, cold cereal, & juices. No vegan options outside of fruit & cereal @ the buffet. Also when I asked about vegan eggs; no suggestions were made. But there is a tofu scramble on the menu. It is heavily seasoned but still very good. I'd ask them to hold back a little next time. Selection of teas = four. read more

Went here today with colleagues for lunch since we were at McCormick Place for ProFood Tech, but it was just okay. We actually all ordered the Greek turkey burger, with fries. I did like that they offered an assortment of sides such as a cucumber tomato salad or a quinoa salad. It took a while to get water refills, which is a pet peeve of mine. Prices were reasonable considering it was a hotel restaurant, the burger was $15. I'd go back again if I was at McCormick for a show but I wouldn't order what I did, as it was only average. The fries were tasty but could have used more salt. read more

Dinner was good enough and reasonable although very expensive drinks that were not that special and were weak. Tip of 18% was added for "large group" of six so actually they got less than we would have given. Breakfast buffet was not very good - there were two lines so it looks like more than it is, food was cold and not particularly tasty. Menu item one of us got - blueberry pancakes was better. I'd recommend menu but be aware plain coffee is then $4 extra (included in buffet). Waitress Alicija was great and brought rating up. UPDATE - after eating here two more times during a 5 day Star Wars convention, I am upgrading from 3 to 4. Breakfast from the menu while a little slow during busy time was much better. Also second dinner was very good for all five of us. Service was very friendly and good. Kind of accepted high prices as standard for big hotel, big city by convention center. read more

Great for breakfast. Restaurant located within the Hyatt Regency heading to the McCormick Place. Great service provided. I had the Build Your Own Omelette $18 over the suggested All You Eat Breakfast Buffett $24. Was not in the mood for the buffet offerings with everything in the news recently. Heck, I probably should be making MY OWN BREAKFAST... but a girls gotta eat on the move so --I had the egg omelette three ingredients of spinach, mushroom, onion with hash brown potatoes and 2 huge slices of wheat toast which was more than filling. read more

I was a little skeptical about trying this place after reading yelp reviews. But to be honest I felt it was a very very decent place. The patio was open and it had 3-4 fire places with relaxing couches. Rock n roll music was paying on a perfect volume. The restuarent staff was friendly and caring too. We ordered deviled eggs, tofu tacos and chicken wings. All of them were really good. Wings were cooked to perfection (I have had terrible wings at well known places). Deviled eggs could have been a little more hot.. But I don't mind. I would not discourage people from trying out this place. read more

Tried this place for a second time during my stay. The worst! My potatoes were served with a fly and my pancakes were not fully cooked. The syrup was so thin and tasteless. Overall, I was very disappointed with this restaurant. For the cost, you are better off going downtown, especially to Yolk, for more breakfast options with better portions and better food. read more

I find it very difficult to find any redeeming qualities about this place. They gained a star for comping the breakfast (I refused to eat because it was so terrible) but still $30 for one adult and one child to eat breakfast, while making said child wait the whole meal for crayons/markers and at the trail end giving him a used pen to play with the menu they provided still fails to sit well with me. If you're at the hotel and have a hankering for breakfast I strongly urge anyone to walk a little and go somewhere else. read more

Third Star - Worst omelet ever. It has some oily watery substance underneath it. The eggs are gelatinous. - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you're going to be stuck paying $25 for breakfast, you'd hope it'd be a damn good breakfast with good service. Such is not the case at Third Star, the breakfast eatery at the Hyatt Regency. The restaurant was empty when I showed up. The waiter took my order and when I asked him about an asterisk on a 2/2/2 breakfast platter, he told me that some fancy sausage was extra charge I chose a regular sausage instead. He asked me if I wanted coffee? Yes. Did I want cream or milk? Milk, I replied. I waited almost 10 minutes for the coffee to arrive (suggestion - diners will bring out a coffee pronto, especially for breakfast) and then tried to flag the waiter down to get some milk. He replied, "You didn't ask for milk." Um, yes, I did. And this is where a simple, "Sorry" would have negated a growing bad experience. Another person arrived for breakfast, and to my surprise, the waiter told her that there was a breakfast buffet at the back of the restaurant. Why didn't he say anything to me? Odd omission. The food shows up - eggs over hard and oily. Chewy sausage that would have given my dogs a challenge but very nice, light pancakes. Total with coffee $25. Plus an extra $1 "plate" charge. Nope, nope, nope. read more

Fries were epic (crunch, pillowy and only needed a little salt added) but chicken avocado sandwich had a lot to be desired (no seasoning, no flavour, chicken just disintegrated in my mouth and tasted like chalk). Disappointed as waiter recommended it (why?!?!?) Drink menu was good and some large TVs with baseball on when i went.m. Would recommended for a quiet place to watch the game, bar snacks but not going back for dinner read more

Third Star - Fries were epic (crunch, pillowy) but chicken sandwich = big zero (no seasoning/flavour, disintegrated in my mouth, chalk taste) - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Typical major hotel restaurant. I stared with a 3 star but after many visits for breakfast, lunch and dinners. We agreed the service and the food deserve better rating. So far we have had dinner and breakfast here. Service is fine. Dinner seemed a bit under staffed. Breakfast was fine due to buffet. We were early and much of the food was cold. Maybe out too long before service started. Food and drinks are good. And the prices are on the high side for drinks and breakfast. Glass of wine was$12. Buffet was $23 with coffee and OJ. Coffee on the menu is $4 plain coffee. Alicya was very nice at breakfast. All were very nice and worked to make the meals enjoyable. read more

I really enjoyed Third Star. Great food! They have anple vegetarian/vegan options. I got the Sofrita taci and it was BOMB. They seasoned the tofu perfectly which I find to be rare. Great service and great vibe. If I'm ever back in Chicago I will probably return. read more

Came here for dinner because I was at a conference nearby. Plenty of tables were open, but we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. We got wine at the bar across the way - they allow you to bring it in to the restaurant if you don't finish it. Felt it was overpriced for the food you received. Started with the Spring Minestrone which had huge chunks of vegetables in it - ended up having to cut through my soup so I could eat it. Next I did the Great Lakes Caesar and the Brown Buttered Mashed Potatoes. Again just mediocre - nothing to remember or want again. Service was kind of slow, but our waitress was friendly. read more

Inside the Hyatt McCormick hotel, so very convenient. Good food, attentive service. Fresh garlic bread served which was good, and I got black bean burger and it was good with homemade bread, and I was happy for the vegetarian option. Ate there another night and got the angel hair pomodoro which was a little watery. read more

This was a great little place! Service was great! Bread service delicious! Burgers were great for my son and I and my husband liked his ribs! The fries were really great! Better than they look even! Super accommodating with my crazy requests (switch out arugula for normal greens on my beet salad, Turkey burger instead of beef) and had a good beer selection! Not terrible prices for a hotel attached to a convention center- I was pleasantly surprised! We'd go again- you should too! Especially if you're staying here! read more

So this is the hotel restaurant, that we used for breakfast twice due to lack of choices the second time. The service here is ok, you have two choices either from the menu or buffet style. The buffet style is extremely limited and the food is poor. If you can avoid this I would, it is also not cheap. Be sure to arrive early if you are at a conference as there is a line. read more

This was a good choice for a solo dinner while staying at the Hyatt for a conference. The Bolognese came with a chunk of straight up butter on top (is it supposed to be served that way? I'm not an expert) but it tasted really good actually. They have several good local craft beers. The bread was delicious. Service was great, super fast. Point off for the douchy music but I'd totally eat here again if I didn't feel like leaving the hotel. read more

This hotel restaurant is inside the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. Dinner and service were great. I fell in love with the lamb stuffed dates wrapped in bacon which is probably the best thing on the menu. The pot roast was also very good like my mother's. the shrimp cocktail and Caesar salad were OK. Bread was moist an tasty. The food came out extremely fast. read more

The restaurant was not busy at all The service was slow to say the least The highlight was the appetizer we ordered which was lamb stuffed figs I ordered a salad. Nothing spectacular the pickled cantaloupe was certainly different but pieces were pickled to different strengths The wife ordered club sandwich on sourdough bread It wasn't sourdough bread. Don't know what it was Customers coming in after us had their orders taken first Pricey according to what you got read more

We had to eat here as we were at a conference at McCormick place. It was... okay. I got the turkey burger. My friend was trying to ask how big the soup portion was and it ended up being a strange interaction with the waiter. The turkey burger was decent. read more

Third Star...of what? A step up from Swanson's. C'mon Hyatt...this is the best you can offer during the largest of trade shows? I realize it's not 'your' restaurant but your current room-service is pre-made sandwiches sold downstairs in the lobby. Total disaster. read more

Best part was the service. However the food was overpriced for the quality. This restaurant wants to be more sophisticated than it actually is. I would pass unless there are no other options. read more

Pasta and shrimp was the size of a kids meal. Manager said that it was the right size. Ripoff!

Had breakfast there yesterday, it was actually very good. Went back today (we are there for a convention) and the same exact order was not good at all. They need to work on consistency. I was going to commend them for their pancakes yesterday, but today's were not nearly as good, along with runny scrambled eggs and burnt bacon. Hopefully just growing pains for a newly opened restaurant. read more

We came for breakfast with a group of 7, and a line was beginning to gather at the front desk where the manager was indicating that you had to have a reservation to be seated, meanwhile the restaurant was totally empty. When we attempted to make a reservation, we could not because all 7 members were not here so no one could be seated. I do understand that policy is common, it was 7am and the restaurant was empty. An angry table just decided to bypass the front desk worker and sit down anyway. Once we were seated, it was clear that our waitperson was angry, short, and not friendly. I could hear employees bickering with each other on several occasions. We had 7 customers as I mentioned and when our food came, there were several issues. I got the wrong omelet so had to switch with someone after we had already begun eating because we didn't want to get yelled at. One parties toast was wrong, one didn't get their potatoes and when the missing toast came - it was burned. The food itself was okay, the oatmeal somehow was stale though. Overall, we were super disappointed in the service - each time the server approached the table we were mid conversation and she just interrupted without so much as an apology or concern. I'm a pretty mellow customer, and I know how busy and chaotic the restaurant business is but I was super disappointed with this meal and cannot recommend going here. read more

The wait staff was pleasant and efficient the garlic bread was amazing, the steak was fatty and drowned in mushrooms, there wasn't much additional to what you can get on room service not worth the walk downstairs read more

We went here a week ago. We first stopped at Arc Bar across the hallway. The servers there were friendly and prompt. We then went to dinner. The staff was friendly. The place got really busy by 6 and the servers got stretched. The food, skirt steak (the succotash was good by itself, but complimented the tender steak perfectly) and shrimp de jhonge was very good. Unusually, my wife said that she would go here even if we were not spending the night at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place hotel. When busy they are understaffed. The only bad spot is the loud music across the hallway from the Arc Bar. read more

great food and selection for price considering this is a hotel restaurant, pad thai i my favorite, bolognese is good if you like lamb, ask about soup of the day and getting dessert from buffet for the price of single dessert on menu, buffet has salad bar, baked potato bar, baked mac n cheese, roasted asparagus, but buffer varies by night, another night it was mexican items read more

Had dinner with family and friends last night and having breakfast buffet this morning. Whenever I come to Chicago I definitely make a point to visit this restaurant. Black bean burger and quinoa are my favorite, and veggie omelet for breakfast. My kids love their different types or breads, muffins, and cakes. The quality of food is always good and prices are reasonable. read more

It took the 2 hostesses a good 3 min to acknowledge me when I was the only person in line: 1 was on the phone, the other 1 was staring at the one on the phone. The restaurant was half full at best but I was still told to wait 15 min to be seated because they have been unable to clean the tables. How come it take 15 min to clean 1 table?? And how can you leave half the restaurant dirty because you have been unable to clean fast enough? I left without being seated, did not want to waste my time read more
