Very thoughtful and accommodating wait staff. Was looking for a good breakfast nearby and this didn’t disappoint. Nice views a few floors up.
I visited 676 Restaurant & Bar on Michigan Avenue for breakfast last weekend and came away with mixed impressions. The setting is lovely — it’s on the fourth floor of the Omni Chicago Hotel, and the floor-to-ceiling windows give you a great view of the hustle and bustle of the Magnificent Mile. We ordered pancakes (a signature item) and the skirt steak with eggs. The steak was solid and cooked as expected, but unfortunately the pancakes arrived under-cooked — it felt like they’d been rushed out, so we returned them. Also, the price struck me as a little high for a breakfast outing — you’re definitely paying for the location and view as much as the food. All in all the experience had its highs and lows: the ambiance and views are excellent, and the steak was satisfying, but the pancakes misstep and elevated cost knock it down a notch.
The restaurant itself is on the 4the floor so you have to take the elevator up. It’s honestly very worth it. Adrian at the bar and victor on the waitstaff are absolute professionals. Very attentive and incredibly personable. Cannot say enough good things about these two (everyone was great, these two names just stood out to me). All around a great experience at 676 over the week I stayed at the Omni.
