I visited Chicago this pat weekend and came across the Pierrot Gourmet restaurant. After entering the restaurant we were ignored from the time we walked through the door. This was the worse service I have ever received. My opinion of everyone in Chicago was immediately formed and thought they were all rude. I decided not to form my opinion based off one bad restaurant. We ended up seating ourselves being ignored once again and ultimately ended up leaving after 10 minutes. Please don’t waste your time or money in this place. Pros: None Cons: Terrible Service

The restaurant is beautiful. The long, shared tables in the middle of the room are charming. After being told there would be a 15 minute wait, we were seated quickly. The waiter took our order, recommending the chicken and wild rice soup. In the time it took to get our order--two cups of soup, a pre-made cheese plate and a chicken caesar salad , a couple was seated at the table next to us, served the last of the chicken and wild rice soup and continuously fawned over by half the wait staff. After a long absence, our server returned to tell us that there was no more c&wr soup and to offer us a choice of the other two soups. Another member of our party agreed to the squash soup, but since l refused the squash soup I was served the last of the day's soups even though I never said that I wanted it. The salad was light on lettuce and the chicken looked greasy. The rest of the dishes were fine, but the cheese plate came with no bread or crackers of its own and we had to wave down the server to ask for more bread. Our water glasses were never refulled. The waiter disappeared for long periods of time. All the while, the restaurant staff happily chatted with the people at the table next to us. My only satisfaction was that the couple we were with are horrific tippers and it was their turn to pay the bill. I will not go back there again.

Well, there is a reason I live within a block of this restaurant and have eaten there 3 times in four years. The beautiful beautiful dining room attracts tourists and local, however, the food just is not good. I have always tried a different item(s) of the menu, and each time I am disappointed. The chicken in my wrap clearly had been made one or two days before and then merely reheated. The eggs are rubbery. The mac and cheese has barely any cheese. I would like to try the croissants next time. Service is pretty good, not stellar. Come here and enjoy the beautiful restaurant and be apart of the scene, BUT don't have high expectations on the food. Pros: pretty interior Cons: Bad food, 15 dollar reheated tuna sandwich

Pierrot Gourmet has a communal table, which is very popular in Europe. It's a great way to meet people. Their breakfast bread puddings are amazing. Service is very good.

Attached to the Peninsula hotel and one block west of the Magnificent Mile, this little French spot is excellent for brunch. The European breakfast had delicious meats, cheeses and baguettes. I'll be a regular. Pros: location, food, people-watching
