It was our group of three that settled into the 3 course prix-fixe menu before\r
our trip to the Chicago Symphony. The setting and decor are lovely if just a tad dated\r
and the service is quite excellent BUT, the kitchen is a disappointment !\r
Out of the three courses I ordered, one was missing the main ingredient\r
the other was burnt. The risotto was very good and creamy HOWEVER I ordered escargot risotto and I was served a risotto SANS escargot. Thats correct escargot risotto that was totally devoid of escargot. I would never tolerate such a thing normally but time was too tight to send it back. It was lovely. however the next course had disappointment to offer as well. The spaetzle which came with the osso buco was burnt or blackened which is not how this little German tiny dumpling should be. Again no time to return it to the kitchen. Dessert was spot on with a creme brule which had the perfect balance of vanilla and sweetness it was delectable. To their credit they did remove the cost of one meal, but I didnt go to Everest to get a free badly made meal. \r
Chef Joho really needs to tend to his kitchen because diners in Chicago today have too many places that fire on all cylinders. \r
