Best Lunch Restaurants in Gold Coast / Streeterville

For a jam packed Friday lunch during Holiday break, I was beyond impressed with the speed of service at Luxbar. Everything was great from the food to the service. They had a manager floating filling water and delivering drinks. Really great experience.

The lobster and cauliflower Stilton bisque were very nice. They could have been a little warmer. The chicken sandwich and chicken Milanese were excellent. Our service was amazing. Unfortunately we did not get his name so that we could thank him personally in this report.

Wonderful meals and service! So glad for having a Christmas brunch there with my family

Gibson's is one of my favorite restaurants of all times. We live in San Antonio but make it a point to make reservations when in Chicago, Because of the holidays, I scheduled reservations 3 months in advance. Service was superb, as always. I ordered the W.R.'s Chicago Cut and was very disappointed. The steak was cold and did not appear anywhere close to 22 oz. My son ordered a 7 oz Filet Mignon, and he was disappointed as it was very dry and overcooked. I know I could have said something at the table, but I didn't want to ruin the moment as we were having such a great time being together. The service was outstanding, and hope that next time it will be the same Gibson's experience.

We continue to return to this beautiful restaurant for the food, ambiance, and service. Every bite of food is always delicious, the ambiance allows you to really relax, slow down, and enjoy the people you are dining with and vibe. The service is always spectacular.
