Wonderful birthday celebration with my best friend. Delicious martini and lobster roll, and the bread, cheese and fig jam was the perfect starter! Delightful service, and remains a Chicago favorite :)

We had an unusual experience. We got stuck in the elevator going to the restaurant for at least 20 minutes while the engineers worked to get us out. When we finally arrived at the restaurant, we were treated like royalty, and the entire meal was comped for our troubles. That said, the food was good but the Machiato Noir dessert is so delicious, it's worth the trip even if you don't get stuck in the elevator and get your meal comped. The service was also excellent, and the setting is magnificent, especially on a beautiful fall day when the views are spectacular.
