Allium

YUM. This was not our dinner plan. We stopped for a drink, and our 3 year old demanded to stay and she apparently has better taste. The duck was phenomenal. The poutine was exquisite. The kids spaghetti was sensational. Yes I ate my child’s food. Most importantly, the staff was incredible as always. Catered to every whim and beyond. Don’t think I can come to Chicago without stopping by now.

One of few Favorite places in the city. Located at the Four Seasons hotel they pride themselves in making everything from scratch. They have a really nice bar area serving only top shelf bottles and their bar food is second to none. Dinner is always amazing, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly. Friendly staff, great food and atmosphere.

Before coming out to Chicago I watches a video on the many Hot Dogs of the area and I was giddy to see that this restaurant in the Four Seasons hotel served their own version. The idea of having what is considered low brow food in that kind of atmosphere just excited me. Then I went there and it was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful and the seating is very comfortable. We had a lovely time able right across from the fireplace which was very cozy. We ordered two of their specialty drinks which were pricey but very good. Then we ordered the Hot Dogs and they were great. Everything was house made and really good, it was a hot dog but it was elevated just enough to justify the price. The waiter was attentive and wished is a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. I know it was in the system but in the past places we have gone to have ignored info we have entered. Later after he charged us for a desert that was given as a gift he apologized and he really didn't have to I was happy to pay for the desert and he was so great, we tipped him based in the original bill anyway. We left the restaurant feeling giddy, the kind of giddy that good food, service and atmosphere can only give you. I can't wait to come back to go again.

food we got (charcuterie, broccolini, chicken, lamb) wasn’t as salty as we expected (read: great thing) but it was all very tender and good. although i didn’t think it was anything extraordinary. definitely a good place to visit if you have the pockets. pro tip: entrance is on the same floor as the four seasons hotel lobby

Friendly easy going staff, not crowded, nice high rise view, and of course good food. Went here because of the review on Chicago Eater, top 15 dog joints. The Chicago style dog for $17 was an experience. Not usually my thing but it ate like a meal and came with fresh preparations of relish, onions, peppers and grape tomatoes. The fries were salted just right and came with a whiskey BBQ sauce that really tasted like it was made on the spot. The sausage was all beef and tasted as good as you might expect. It came with a seasoned pickle i had an enjoyable bite of and put on the side (after all there was fresh relish). I was good after the dog which was meaty and satisfying but figured I might not be back and went for a unique dessert. If you're into such things, but only if you are more into the experience and sight of such artistry, would I recommend this dessert: corn profiterole. Tomato creme with fresh basil and sweet merengue sticks with caramel popcorn, along with orange sorbet (which made every forkful taste better) and a cookie filled with marscarpone. I'll opt for the pumpkin sorbet next time, but boy was that extra filling.
