Restaurants near The Chicago Athenaeum

This is a very nice, upscale, chain restaurant. Had a very relaxed and enjoyable lunch with a carafe of the vinters' reserve blend. The short ribs were melt-in-the-mouth fabulous.

Good food as usual. Will come back early next year

We visited for a birthday celebration, and I can honestly say everything exceeded our expectations. Our server was exceptional—attentive, polite, and had a great sense of humor. Her recommendations were spot on, and every dish was fantastic. As someone who doesn't typically eat steak, I was blown away by how delicious it was—without a doubt, one of the best steaks I've ever had. We also tried the oysters and tuna tartare, and both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The evening was perfect, with a wonderful atmosphere that made the experience even more memorable. My only minor critique would be that the area by the window was a bit chilly, but otherwise, it was an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you!

We always love coming here. Today was no exception. I love that I can get all the different flavors for one price. The salad bar area and hit area is extensive and my FAVORITE bleu cheese dressing EVER. Service is always great. Highly recommend.

Robert was our waiter. He did a fantastic job of taking our orders, bringing our food and best of all he was super friendly and made us laugh! Thanks Robert
