    The food was cold. Eggs need to be served hot, fresh off the grill. The toast and English Muffins were so cold that the butter would not melt at all. Kind of a rinky-dink operation to be in such a nice hotel.

    We live in the neighborhood of Toro. This new restaurant is one of the best in Chicago. We keep trying different items on the menu and have loved every choice. Last night we tried the lobster roll. What a great item. Love the ambience. We feel like we left Chicago. Creative design and lighting. Also, if you decide to go for breakfast, we highly recommend the waffle.
