I went to this bar for the first time last week. It was a Friday after work. This bar is on the 7th floor and has a very nice outdoor space. The drink menu has a good selection. I would definitely recommend the Razz Mojito. I would love to go back and visit this bar again. There was a professional crowd and it a great place to go for happy hour.

The Park Hyatt is a fabulous brand. It really is. Nomi is lucky to be at the Park Hyatt Chicago. Its on the 7th floor of the building so you have somewhat of a view (tops of buildings) but not an amazing top-of-building panoramic view. I celebrated a milestone birthday there this past weekend. My friend and I ordered omelettes for brunch. Mine came 20 minutes before hers. Totally inexcusable at a restaurant of this price. (Eggs are like $20.) When the waiter noticed that her food hadn't arrived, he said, "Just 40 seconds more!" but it was about 10 minutes more. Do they have one skillet? We were drinking $5 iced teas (the waiter looked truly disappointed we were not ordering alcohol) and before my friend had even finished hers, the waiter came over and said, "Do you want more? If not let me take this away or the staff will keep asking you if you want more." It was a very awkward moment. My friend had not finished her tea - it was still half full! But he took it away. I had noted in the reservation that I was celebrating my birhday. We ordered dessert and they didn't write anything on the dessert nor did they bring us any freebies. They gave us what they gave everyone at the restaurant for dessert - a tin of petit fours. However, when I opened the lid, it read HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. We told the waiter when he came over to ask how everything was, and he laughed it off. We dropped nearly $100 on brunch and he couldn't get the occasion right? Or give us a freebie or take something off the bill in regret? This place is not classy.

It is expensive but few places have had such a nice Sunday 'brunch' and I was amazed and pleased at my dinner visits of the rarities they have on their wine and beer (and tea) lists. Chimay is the best foreign beer I have ever had and they had it when I was there, but you might need to be carried home as it is strong. Food excellently prepared and waitstaff a bit formal but still nice. Take the 'recommended' dishes by your Server--they are the most unusual. Gals go early if you want to avoid "suits" hitting on you, unless you want that sort of thing. The food is pretty great. Pros: food quality and originality & alcohol choices are large variety Cons: Very Expensive

I note my date of visit since the place seems to have gone down since based on other reviews. Well we know Hyatt is certainly proud of it since the hotel and restaurant are plastered as the placeholder for any representative photographs of the Park Hyatt brand. My displeasure with this last aside, this is a good restaurant with good food and a decent ambiance. My wife had breakfast there while staying in the hotel and also had a light dinner on the patio. The food was excellent, that magnificent wine display (I am remiss to call it a cellar) has some creative selections in it (even in Champagnes) which was to my liking, to boot at a reasonable price. This did not translate into the food department though where breakfast of some bread and jams for two ran me $60. It was certainly well presented and tasty, but at least let me get my day started and get me drunk before breaking the $40 mark. Pros: Wine List, View, Food Quality and Presentation Cons: Pricing of certain items

I admit, I was a bit nervous going here, as it was for our first anniversary dinner and I just hoped I'd picked the right place. I told them about the occasion ahead of time, and to increase our chance of getting a window table we'd made reservations for early in the evening ...But I must say, in no way was I prepared for how wonderfully they treated us. We got (in my opinion) the best table (the view is incredible), and were handed menus with Happy 1st Anniversary! printed right on them - which they told us we could take home if we wanted - and our dessert also had Congratulations! written in icing. The waiter was very attentive, and the bottle of wine they recommended was fabulous and always poured the second one of us ran low. The sushi we ordered practically melted in our mouths and was DELICIOUS, and the steak I ordered was great (though I could do without the liver in the topping - which they DID warn me about and ask if I'd prefer it without - I should've remembered I really just don't like liver). It was pricey, yes, but we were prepared for that. All in all, the service was amazing, and the food was delicioius. I would definitely go back here.

Sandro where are you. Santa Barbarba I hear. Please come back. This place is a sink hole without your scallops and touch. Avoid this place like the plague. Disorganized service. Wine service is poor to non-existent. Food is okay but not what one would expect. I predict this place is going to loose some stars in the next go around.
