    Our waiter made an unpleasant comment to my brother and then tried to talk his way out of it. Then he spent little time waiting on us. I had to pour my own wine for our party. The food and wine were fantastic.

    We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at 312 Chicago before a show at the Cadillac Theater. Food was exceptional, bartender fielded a creative holiday order, and server was excellent. Only negative was delayed service owing, as we understand it, to numerous employee no-shows in protest of a looming closure...very unfortunate as this is an outstanding loop fixture.

    The food was very heavy handed and not well prepared. The Italian rolls at the beginning were heavy and doughy. The chicken entree tasted pre-prepared and was not brown. The sauce was gloppy and missing almonds as noted on the menu. The salmon was fine, nothing special. The server was friendly, but inattentive and slow. We had to chase down the check. They cleared away silverware after the appetizer and never brought new silverware with the entree we had to ask twice. We asked for more water and weren't service it. The ambience is still nice looking it is a shame the food and service weren't worth returning for as it is a great location.

    Took my mom for her 80th BD, which was acknowledged by the hostess upon seating but then never again. Odd as to why “is this a special occasion?” is asked when making the reservation. After our food was served, never saw server again. Had to flag her for coffee and no refill offered. My handicapped mom couldn’t access the upstairs bathroom and can only use the restroom at an adjacent office building up an elevator which is locked without a server coming up to unlock.Good food but overall underwhelmed.

    Don’t waste your money. This is one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in years in the city. From the time we walked in where the hostess greeted us and then took 10 minutes to get us seated in a nearly empty restaurant and with a reservation, to the time we sat down having our food service totally rushed, and worst of all to the flavor of the food, which was completely lacking, This dinner was money wasted. The only saving grace was a well-made cocktail. We were told at just before 9 o’clock the chef wanted to know if we wanted dessert because they were closing up the kitchen. It was totally ridiculous.
    312 ChicagoResponded on November 12, 2024
    Buona sera Cory, I'm truly sorry that your experience with us fell short of your expectations. We strive to offer excellent food and service, so it's disappointing to hear we didn't meet that standard during your visit. Our kitchen closes at 8:30 PM, which prompted our server to ensure you had a chance to order desserts. We aim to clearly communicate the last call for orders, but it seems we missed the mark in your case, and I apologize for that. I would be delighted to personally ensure you receive the exceptional experience you deserve if you give us another chance. Warm Regards, Chef Marcello
