One of the oldest family-run businesses in the nation, now run by the fourth generation, Pete Berghoff. Today's Berghoff menus have evolved to add newer, lighter, and more contemporary dishes, but it's still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer. In December 2018, the Berghoff family opened Adams Street Brewery, aptly named after the street they have called home for over a century, to nod to their brewing roots and commemorate the restaurant's 120th anniversary.

    We had a lovely dinner. We both had a veal dish and everything was delicious. And we topped it off with the apple strudel. We will definitely be back.

    Our server, George, was excellent. Helpful, informative, but not pushy. The lobster stuffed deviled eggs are a must for us. SO delicious. The steak salad has roasted potato cubes, wild mushrooms, and tomatoes on arugula covered with shaved manchego. Really a good meal. Large amount of well-cooked steak. The rigatoni pasta with sausage, tomato and other bits definitely pleased my husband. Too full for a dessert, alas. Highly recommend Remington's if you're going to be in downtown Chicago.

    Acanto on Michigan Ave was the perfect choice for dinner before a concert at the Auditorium Theater. Within walking distance to the venue. Acanto had many gluten free options that were necessary for our visit. Food was fresh and so flavorful. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend.
