This was the more high end place I was looking forward to on my trip to Chicago, I had the steak burger with the fries. It really was just a burger and fries, but I blame that on my boring ordering choices. But it kinda felt as if the menu was very limiting on what they had to offer, and seemed almost a refined taste selection. The service was impressive and the atmosphere especially the restrooms were amazing, a huge go to for people who want something more on the refined style of Chicago.
I have to say I sat at the bar, got amazing drinks, the food was a totally lip smacking. I have to give a special shout out to Arthur for being such a nice bartender. Definitely have to come and request Arthur and yapp it up with him while enjoying a great atmosphere! I also have to add that the playlist is absolutely killer. Chefs kiss on top!
We ate breakfast here for two days during our stay at the hotel. The omelets are wholesome as can be seen in the pictures. However the avocado toast and yogurt parfait were average in taste and quantity. The parfait had more yogurt than fruits and granola and was not layered at all. The avocado toast seemed to lack some side potatoes or salad.
Fun restaurant located in the Wit hotel. There’s a little for everyone on the menu and the variety of drink is fantastic. They have local brews along with fancy holiday themed spirits. The staff is very friendly and the vibe is a great tavern style. If you’re attending a show in the area, I would highly recommend grabbing a meal/drinks here before or after.
