1/25/2012 Purchased a Yelp Deal 1 Check-in Here
Finally made it here to use my yelp deal. It was a rainy day and there wasn't much parking. The night wasn't starting out right. Parking around the corner it was. Anyway, when I finally got in, the restaurant was dimly lit and gigantic! I had no idea this place was that large. Anyway, we had a few items that sounded fun...by sounded fun, I think there was a mission to seek out all of the potato items on the menu. For my entree, I had the Jägerschnitzel vom Schwein. My only issue was that it was a little salty. I hope it was just an off night. But I definitely will go back. Live music, lots of drinks.

So the places is rammed. Tons of people. Make reservations. And make sure that you get your reservation. There is a parking lot, but there depending on what time it is, you may have to park on the street. Anyway, in the restaurant, there is a great view of the bay. It is worth it to go for that. They brew their own beer. Next time, I'll try that. For dinner, I had the seafood fajita. Honestly, it lacked flavour. I think this could have been remedied with a little salt. I didn't feel like I was eating anything distinct with each bite though I had 3 different types of seafood. It did leave a lot to desire, as did other food entrees that I got to taste. Probably won't go back for the food, but would for the view from the outdoor area.

Lots of house made brews to choose from. I had Allocution. Really good. The food is typical pub fare. I had the fish and chips. It was the right amount. The service was also really good for a Sunday night. Prices were pretty good. If I was in the area again, I'd go back.

Really nice hotel. One block from Millenium Park. We stayed here for 2 nights and it was a really convenient location. Close to a bunch of subway stops. In the Theatre District, you will be able to soak up a lot of history just walking around the hotel itself. The hallways are filled with pictures of performers from days gone by. The furniture is all really nice and fits the decor of the hotel. There's a couple restaurants that we did not get to try, but I'm sure they're pretty good. I'm sure they're probably pretty expensive as well. All the staff was really nice and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great place to place a game. Nice ice. Accessible by subway (California-Green). Nice bar up top. Was here for a tournament and would come back in a heartbeat. Great staff, well kept facility. Couldn't ask for more.

Our second day in the city, wanted to find a place to get a quick lunch before my hockey game. Just stopped into this place, not knowing anything about it. The food was okay. The prices were a little high. The sandwich was a good size. I had the #8, Al's Special. It was large, but it was only okay.

we wanted to have one last greek meal before we left Chicago. Again, we were hoping to have it at Meli, but the line was too long. Anyway, we began walking back to our hotel and chose to eat at Rodity. We had the saganaki, definitely recommend. I had the souvlak with rice pilaf, which was pretty good. The staff was all really nice and courteous. My only complaint is that the meals were a little expensive. For 2 entrees and an appetizer, the cost was $35. They have free parking in a lot across the street.

Arrived at Meli to find that it had already closed its kitchen, we looked across the street and went to Artopolis. We were seated quickly and were off to the races. I had the Briammi Kefte, which was very good and reasonably priced. The flavour was nice and the food was fresh. If you are in greek town, there's a lot of places, you won't go wrong if you go here.

I had the braised pork ($17) and it was really good. We had a bigger party and I feel like the waitress wasn't jazzed about serving us. Even if she was, she didn't fool any of us. Anyway, the restaurant is cosy and relaxing. You can be quiet or you could be loud. There wine selection was pretty good, prices are pretty average. There's a bunch of places to eat that are all good, I'd come back to this place for sure.

I want to try the buffet...but I'm never around for lunch. The food is good, but the prices are a little high. When we had takeout, it was all so good. We had the chicken tikka masala and palak paneer. I want some more now that I think of it. Soon enough my friend. Soon enough.
