We closed out our trip to Chicago with dinner at Daisies—and man did we end on a high note! The service was impeccable. Our server was warm and really made our meal special. Our group of four was celebrating four birthdays (!) and he surprised us by bringing out little glasses of sparkling rose and an NA cocktail; wine for those who'd ordered cocktails, and the NA drink for those abstaining. So thoughtful! The food was excellent from start to finish. Don't skip dessert! It was fabulous. We don't live in Chicago but we all hope to be back!
