Restaurants near Chicago Place

What a pleasure it is to have an experienced, mature wait staff that knows the menu and is constantly reading the room for what guests may need and when. Several people around us were celebrating special occasions (including us) whose meals were capped by a beautiful message in chocolate on a dessert plate of chocolate brownie with a candle. Every dish we had was special (other than the Veal Milanese, which had a dijon base that I didn't love.). The room is buzzy, cozy, handsome. A special note: the restaurant is closing for two weeks which left them without a couple of dishes on the menu. Guests who couldn't order what they wanted were treated very thoughtfully by the wait staff and management. Deft handling of an awkward situation.

We tried this restaurant last night and had the best time. The food was amazing, but what was really amazing was our server Rene and the staff. The staff was so on top of it, and the food came out so fast. It was our friend's birthday, and we were trying to surprise her. We had ordered a cake but needed to figure out a way to get it there without her noticing. When my other friend called the restaurant, they were able to hold the cake for us in the morning and then bring it to the table as a surprise. Rene was already informed by staff, so when we arrived, he was already in on the plan. At the end of dinner, the cake was brought out, and it was such a nice surprise. Special thanks to Rene and the staff at Quartino—you are all amazing.

We appreciate an authentic Italian ambience and fantastic service. Rosebud consistently wins with great food and drinks! We have enjoyed rosebud in both large group settings and intimate meals for 2. The patio, downstairs and upstairs dining rooms each offer different dining experience which the staff has tailored well based on our group sizes. Highly recommend for a date and night out with close friends.

I really like what the waiter recommended us from the menu, food was so full of flavor and ambient was super nice. Really difficult to find a place like this in Chicago. So happy I went there.

My husband and I decided to grab lunch on Valentine's Day without our kiddos. It was a lovely experience and we are still talking about the food. Because I had to go back to work I didn't want super large portions so we opted for the pre-fix lunch menu for 42.95. We got the crab bisque, spinach stuffed mushrooms, steak bordelaise and the havana dream pie (an amazing tres leches version of cake and cream). We can't stop talking about the spinach stuffed mushrooms and the after taste of that and the crab bisque. It was so buttery and both were an awesome start to our lunch. The steak was cooked to perfection. Melted in your mouth and the perfect amount of seasoning. Just when we thought we were done, we forgot about dessert, the Havana pie (cake) was AMAZING, light and fluffy, creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. We left extremely satisfied. Our waiter had an amazing personality and so did the host who checked us in. Overall great experience. We will be back
