    Showed up 3 minutes before our reservation and seated immediately. Prompt service and coffee while reviewing the menu. The food was excellent! Would return on a regular basis if I lived in Chicago.

    We went to the Lobby for a family reunion and our annual kick off holiday lunch. Everything was exquisite! Service was impeccable, food quality great, ambience quiet and festive. Perfect for a holiday gathering. Lovely birthday dessert for our 18 yr old BD girl. You get what you pay for! The only thing I miss is the holiday brunch. Hope some day they bring it back.

    The Lobby was festive, music great, and food delicious. Our waiter francisco was super attentive. The only negative side was the hostess/host desk who took super long to seat us despite having a reservation and plenty of tables available.
