I honestly debated between giving a 2 or 3 star rating. The restaurant was clean and had a nice setup. Our waiter was friendly enough, although he charged us for two coffees when we only ordered one. He fixed it no problem. At this point we were ready to pay but he just dropped the fixed bill on the table and walked away. After a few minutes, I went to find him and he was up front counting money when I handed him our bill. A bit odd. The food is what really brought down the score. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and it had a very strange taste … Almost like a kitchen wash rag. And my boyfriend said his eggs tasted funny as well. It was a big on the expensive side for what it was. I wish we had enjoyed it more because the hotel itself was fantastic.

Good but on the pricey side. The food was not so fantastic that it set them apart from any other place.
I opted for salmon benedict and I was really expecting the standard slice of tomato on there. But it only came w/​the muffin, smoked salmon, egg, hollandaise.
Coffee was ok and they were super generous with the refills.

Ate here for daily breakfast while we were staying at the Millenium Knickerbocker hotel off of the Magnificent Mile.
Menu was simple but pretty delicious. Service varied — overall folks were friendly, but placing your order and getting the food took a little longer than I would have liked.
Over the course of our stay we tried the smoked salmon eggs benedict, American breakfast, french toast, blueberry buttermilk pancakes, and the omelette.
All of the above were delicious although the pancakes were a little thick.
If you get the orange juice, it does taste fresh squeezed like Odwalla, so was pleased it wasn’t your typical chalky minute maid stuff.
Nice hotel-​like décor but I’d allocate a solid 45-​minutes for breakfast.

Went for breakfast before checking out of the Knickerbocker after celebrating my beau’s birthday. Kinda spendy (wish I would’ve known they are on
). Omelets were yummay. Nice hotel restaurant.

Went there for dinner Friday night. The fresh fish special was softshell crab po boy. I love softshell crab. This po boy was LE-​GIT. They fly the softshell crab in live. ‘Nuff said. One of the best soft shell crab po boys I’ve had in Chicago.

This lil’ gem was located in the hotel we stayed at whilst in Chicago — Millennium’s Knickbocker. We went down for breakfast twice while staying in the hotel, and it was just all around delicious, quaint, and perfect.
Went for the eggs Benedict with salmon the first go around… yes…not vegetarian but fish is the only exception… technically that’s pescatarian but anyways. It was simply amazing. Th 2^nd dish consisted of an spinach omelet… there was another ingredient or two but they’ve escaped me at the moment. It was delicious but the salmon eggs Benedict was definitely the better choice of the two. Both dishes came with a side order of seasoned red potatoes — also amazing.
Both of the waiters were super friendly and on the ball as far as keeping my java intake flowing. Service was great — food came out quickly. Overall, both visits consisted of a lovely breakfast experience. They are more on the $$ end as far as breakfast goes but definitely worth it.

Just tried it because of the certificate from
. The food was okay. Goose Island BBQ Chicken was too sweet. Grilled Asparagus was tasty. A bit expensive. Not a big fan…

My husband & I were staying at the hotel and had breakfast here a couple of times. Everyone is very friendly. We stopped by on a Saturday about 11:30 and asked if they were still serving breakfast. Even though they weren’t, the waiter said it wouldn’t be a problem and brought us breakfast menus. The food is very good and they give you a lot of it! My omlette was super fluffy and very filling. The next day I had the waffles. Again, super fluffy and very tasty. Our waiter brought out 3 different butters for me to try.

Located inside of the Knickerbocker hotel is a nice, comfortable restaurant with a simple menu. The ambiance is good, the food is good, and the service is very good. When I was there, the director of the hotel was having lunch with a few executives. So, is it fair to say that I received a little better service? Probably so. But, I still have to rate it a four out of five because I reserve a five for those who have great food, great service at a great price. We ordered soup, spring rolls, and a crab cake sandwich, and all were delicious. We also used a
certificate without any problems whatsoever.

Food was good enough, but there was an issue with the charge… but first the food:
I had the chicken pesto sandwich. The chicken was a bit dry and it needed more pesto flavor, but it wasn’t a bad flavor combination overall. And the bun was toasted perfectly. The fries were only ok.
Office Mom got the prime burger; she thought it was only ok, but the bacon strip I stole was great.
Coworker got the crab salad; I tasted a piece of crab, it wasn’t particularly flavorful, but at least it wasn’t fishy.
Dessert: The caramel brownie was awesome, probably my favorite part of the meal. The lemon tart was meh, and the tart Milano (can’t remember the name) was death by chocolate and pretty dry — would not recommend.
Then comes the billing portion of the meal. We had a cert, which they took off correctly (and thank goodness — it’s got the typical higher hotel restaurant prices). When they went to charge the debit card, they put an extra $ 13 or so on there. Office Mom gets a text each time her card is used, so she was able to compare it to the bill. When she questioned them about it, first they tried to tell her the charge wasn’t closed out yet — but uh, we’re treasury folks, we know how the banks work and that’s just incorrect… Then we were told the system went down and that they would credit her back the next day — which they did, eventually, but it was still a questionable incident.
When all’s been said and done, eat here if you can get a discount, but check your charges.

Spendy. Good food though.

liked the warm pretzel roll, got the kobe burger which was a little too dry but still good. also got the prosciutto flatbread w/​mushrooms which was pretty darn delicious. not sure if i’d crave it per se but it wasn’t a bad meal
