Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Chicago

Food is always delicious at the Brasstack. Most people don’t even realize it is there. I love the food, ambiance, service and setting.

We went early (11:30) and so much more pleasant - quieter- random people were not in our pictures by the tree

The curling event was fun, and the staff was just delightful!

I had breakfast at The Lobby. I had the breakfast fried rice, which was absolutely delicious and sensational. I would definitely go back there again. 

It was a delightful discovery! The ambiance was warm and cozy, with an impressive buzz of people passing through, talking, and socializing—yet we still enjoyed our privacy at a corner table. The red wine was excellent, the beef tartare (always my go-to choice when available) was fresh and flavorful, the truffle fries were perfectly crispy without being overpowering, the beetroot salad was refreshing, and the mushroom pizza was simply delicious. I must also highlight the dessert and the tiramisu martini—they were the perfect start and finish to our meal. We had a fantastic time and will jump at the first opportunity to return. A special shoutout to the kind and attentive manager Michel and our wonderful server, Tina, whose attentiveness made the experience even more memorable.
