One of the best restaurants to go to eat. They have a variety of foods to choose from like different pastas to a nice juicy burger. The service you receive is good and they make you feel at home.

Good service, excellent food and excellent quality/price ratio! Deco of the dinning room is stylish in a way! Home wine is really acceptable .

It's a tourist attraction, so judge for yourself if that's a pro or a con. However! The serving staff is wonderful, the food is prepared from scratch, and the meals taste great. Kid-friendly.

Their breakfast/ Brunch is very nice.. for lunch & dinner we usually order from the appetizers menu, as the portions are huge, the berry fizz is good and the Warm Sticky Bun Bread Pudding is amazing!
Jessica WeissJune 30, 2015
Nice place, lots of options and big portion sizes. If you want specific desserts order them with your entree because they cook them fresh (takes about 30 mins). Cocktails are very yummy too.

I always get a baked chicken breast with some kind of cheese on top and it comes with shrimp skewers mashed potatoes and I always get the asparagus with it. Absolutely delicious!!

Service, Atmosphere and food is excellent here add to that acceptable prices. I recommend the garlic shrimp Pasta 😋

Ordered a bacon cheeseburger & chicken pot pie- was good enough for two. The beignets were fantastic; they take awhile to make, so order w/ your main dishes. Overall nice time, not incredible though

Menu has a great variety, from salads, chicken, pasta, & steak. We all had a hard time ordering because they had so many good options. Food & service was great.

Happy hour Monday to Friday 4-6pm in the bar. Drinks range from $4.50 - $8.95 and small food plates are $6.95.

Always order the chocolate chip cookies as soon as you sit down to order with the intent to them take to go. They take 20 to 25 minutes to prepare. They are well worth it.

Beautiful place, great service and fantastic food. Ordered the salmon with brown rice and asparagus; taste was very good and serving size was great as well.

The beignets which come with three sauces (including a Jack Daniels vanilla cream) are light, crisp and beyond delicious.

I don't care that it's a chain owned by the Cheesecake Factory. The views of Michigan Ave are great, as are the snacks and the cocktails. Perfect place to stop for a bite on a shopping day.
Austin WestermannApril 18, 2013
This place truly is the definition of excess! From the trendy N Michigan Avenue address to the grandeur of the design (don't forget the extensive menu) Definitely a must!

Lunch special: Miso glazed salmon with veggies $16

Very affordable, huge portions, you always end up taking some home. The chicken pot pie is great and the salads are really good. The best seats are by the windows looking out on N. Michigan ave.
Tracey IngleSeptember 30, 2012
The crab and asparagus omelette was delicious. Not heavy with cheese or sauce, so the flavors really popped. And great coffee!
Eray ErgencJanuary 1, 2015
Good price and huge plates. Dont go here when it s crowded. Ask a table where you can see the street. Order a cup of tea while you eat your desert

Lunch sized portions are insanely big! Try the pasta fresca with eggplant and basil. Oh and make sure to order dessert at least 45 minutes in advance.
Anna HessJanuary 12, 2013
A seat by the windows is a great people watching spot! We've seen so many brides taking their wedding photos on Michigan ave! And not to mention the pretty chirstmas lights :)

On the negative side: Way too many options. On the plus side, everything's tasty. Similar to the cheesecake Factory.GLC, however is extremely modern, with beautiful decor & amazing views of the city.
April WilliamsAugust 23, 2014
Buffalo wraps as an appetizer was great; just enough zing! Salmon is zesty and Awe Mazing! Oh,fresh mojitos to compliment this savory meal
allisonNovember 29, 2016
Had late night snack of tapas-style empanadas which were very good. Son had a slice of chocolate cake which he said was delicious.
Emily DobbinsJuly 8, 2013
You can't go wrong with this restaurant! The menu has a little of everything, even for the pickiest eaters. Just keep in mind they don't take reservations!
Laura M.May 6, 2018
The drinks seem expensive but they are STRONG. Lots of vegetarian options and a great view!
Brianna TaShawnDecember 1, 2013
Food was too good. The sausages were amazing & so was the Grapefruit juice. but if you need to use the bathroom, go super early. the women's line is usually out the door

Large portions so be careful if you don't carry doggie baggs lol and make sure to request the Rotunda Room
Veronica HansonFebruary 19, 2011
This is a carbon copy of The Cheesecake Factory. If your from out of town, skip it. Eat in the bar to avoid the wait. Spinich artichoke dip, Miso salmon, & Molten chocolate cake were all delicious!

Seafood menu is good, awesome view overlooking michigan ave esp in the winter. Crowded, wait time 20mins. The floor was dirty, almost fell on my way to the bathroom. Valet parking $15 for 3 hrs.
Rebecca S.April 12, 2011
If you are visiting Chicago, ask for a Michigan Ave window seat.. There may be a wait, but you'll have a great spot! Also, their brunch menu is pretty good on a Saturday morning :)
Xinyee LeeDecember 23, 2017
Cheesecake is so good. Beignets are crispy and okay but not my type. Big portions. Better share with friends!
Jennifer OndrakoAugust 18, 2014
Great food, Huge menu so you'll definitely find something for everyone. It's a reliable place to eat where you can be certain to get a good meal.
Coverly MillerJanuary 27, 2015
The peach balleni is very good. The food is fabulous. The setting is gorgeous.
Jahr TurchanApril 28, 2013
The spicy Bloody Mary is fantastic! If possible, get a table for two in the atrium by the window. It's worth the extra wait.

The apple pie was great! It took about 20 minutes to prepare it fresh
Rebecca AnneDecember 5, 2016
Great view, large menu that is hard to choose from because it all looked so good. Can't make a wrong decision
Jay MichFebruary 12, 2016
The Parmesan crusted pork-chop is superb.... I can't wait to go back ... Clean... Ambiance is perfecto
Ange MJuly 10, 2012
Try the beignets! Not New Orleans style, as advertised, but very light and airy. Delish! And the dipping sauces made a nice complement.

The Buffalo chicken rolls are so good! We get them every time we come here.
Melan E. SmithNovember 28, 2012
AWEsome!!!! Window seat with a view of the Burberry store on Michigan Ave and the best beignets and shrimp scampi pasta on the planet!!!
Greg GolyaNovember 8, 2013
Get there a little early before the dinner rush really kicks in, and find a seat in the bar to avoid long wait times.

The fried pickles are great. The pasta and chicken with sun dried tomatoes are just as awesome. Now it's time for beignets
DibaDecember 27, 2012
Beignets are so good! Make sure you order them! Order them in advance too, the deliciousness takes a while to make!
jacklyn KrolJanuary 2, 2013
Hummus is incredible. Very large portions deserts most you have to order when you get your main course to be ready in time.
Sexy LFOctober 12, 2014
The decor and service here are absolutely outstanding while your bill is actually reasonable. Ask for a seat near the window.
RosaleeMarch 16, 2013
Amazing view of the Magnificent Mile stretch and very cool decor. If you're hungry- get any burger, they're great!
LaShon AnthonyNovember 9, 2011
Order the Buffalo Chicken Rolls or the Volcano Shrimp appetizers. So delicious! Such a great value on the entrees - you get a lot of food.
