Allium

Decadent choices for Sunday brunch (whitefish, waygu, jamon Serrano, lox) with an array of sweets, breads, and a well furnished omelette bar. Paired with an array of juice, coffee, and tea (prosecco's a lovely extra, though).

Steaks are well made, desert is very tasty. Mahi-mahi salad is good and fresh.

Before coming out to Chicago I watches a video on the many Hot Dogs of the area and I was giddy to see that this restaurant in the Four Seasons hotel served their own version. The idea of having what is considered low brow food in that kind of atmosphere just excited me. Then I went there and it was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful and the seating is very comfortable. We had a lovely time able right across from the fireplace which was very cozy.

We ordered two of their specialty drinks which were pricey but very good. Then we ordered the Hot Dogs and they were great. Everything was house made and really good, it was a hot dog but it was elevated just enough to justify the price.

The waiter was attentive and wished is a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. I know it was in the system but in the past places we have gone to have ignored info we have entered. Later after he charged us for a desert that was given as a gift he apologized and he really didn't have to I was happy to pay for the desert and he was so great, we tipped him based in the original bill anyway.

We left the restaurant feeling giddy, the kind of giddy that good food, service and atmosphere can only give you. I can't wait to come back to go again.
