My husband and I love this restaurant, the view is spectacular and the food was delicious. He is an eggs Benedict snob and said it was the best he's had. I had huevos rancheros and a Bloody Mary and they were both delicious. Our waitress was not great. We waited a bit and when she came up, she literally raced to the table and was speaking before she got to our table. She didn't say hello or greet us with any enthusiasm, there was no warm welcome. I can't say who she was because she didn't tell us her name. That won't keep us from coming back! We do not live in Chicago, we always make it a point to eat here at least once.

The short rib and mushroom risotto was delicious, we paired it with the gnocchi which was a fantastic choice. It was loud, but there seemed to be a party happening in the area adjacent to us.
