    The Walnut room is very nice and the service is great. Not quite up to the Marshall Field standard and the change to Mrs. Hearing spot pie flaked pastry was disappointing. Having said that the food was good and enough to not be able to finish.

    Great family dinner last night at RPM Seafood… celebrated my wife and daughter’s birthdays with an outstanding evening. Loved the salmon and tuna apps; clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Entrees were excellent: halibut, miso cod, tuna all expertly prepared and seasoned. Whipped potatoes and mushroom sides were very good Loved our server and they comped us for a great chocolate gelato and mousse desserts. We will be back in the future for celebration events!

    If you are a lover of true Roman cuisine, you'll feel right at home at il Carciofo. It (selfishly) pains me to write this as it is already a long line to get a reservation, but as a couple who truly loves spending time in Italy and have yet to find an American restaurant that holds its salt, Chef Joe Flamm and his team hit this one out of the park. Watching him work the kitchen was like watching a conductor at the Orchestra. The carbonara, carciofi and pistachio gelato transported us right back to our favorite spots in Rome. We originally booked back to back nights in case we had a last minute scheduling conflict, fortunately we did not. We enjoyed last night and we'll be back again tonight to take on the other half of the menu. Hats off, Chef!

    Dining at Tre Dita was an exceptional experience from the time we were greeted at the hostess stand to the time we left. The timing of the service of each course was perfect! We never felt rushed and we did take our time enjoying each and every bite! All staff were great. Our server Nina was exceptional! Great knowledge of the dishes as well as the wines that complimented them. She was so genuine, nice and fun which added so much to our experience! We had the squash blossoms, blue prawns, insulate di cicoria (which was plentiful- we shared it) wild boar papperdelle pasta dish, and spaghetti ala vongole! Had a great bottle of vermentino that was featured this week. Finished with tiramisu, espresso martini and limoncello! Buonissima! Almost forgot to mention the view! Gorgeous!
