[ Google Review ] I recently visited Lou Malnati's Pizza with my son, and we split the Combination Platter for an appetizer. It included fried cheeses, mushrooms, and zucchini, which were all very tasty. But, we should have ordered a Caesar salad as an app. The fried foods before the pizza were a bit too heavy. For our main course, we ordered a small Classic Chicago pizza, which was plenty for the two of us, especially after that appetizer. While the pizza was good, it didn't blow our minds. We had been told by a local that Lou's was the way to go. I would rate our experience at around 3.5 stars because the pizza wasn't piping hot when it arrived. It had already cooled down a bit. One thing to know: our server mentioned that it would take 40 minutes for the pie to come out and it did. I'm glad she said something and an app will help if you're really hungry going in. Overall, Lou Malnati's Pizza was a decent dinner, but I was expecting a bit more. The service was good, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. If you're in the area and looking for a solid pizza option, Lou's is worth a try, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

[ Google Review ] We had such a magical evening at the Thompson. Awesome location. Easy to walk everywhere near by. Our dog loved the room too! The bed had me dreaming all night long. Will be back for a stay-cation again soon!

[ Google Review ] What a nice dining experience we had on our last night in Chicago. My daughter and son-in-law had made the reservations for all of us. This place stays really busy and I know why it is really good. It started with our waiter Jorge M, he made us feel special and welcome. The food is awesome. The dishes we had were fantastic and the others dishes we saw looked really good. They also make a really good martini. I would highly recommend this place!!!
[ Google Review ] I came here on a Friday morning with a family relative. I like that the location is very hidden. As for the menu, it is very limited but the items were very unique. I love the set-up inside, very cute! The souffle pancakes were very delicious and although my whipped cream slid off, I still love how it looks in the photo. The drinks are very good and flavored naturally which I love and the mocha cappuccino was also very delicious! I'm not sure I'll be back since I'm not from the area, but give it a shot! It is well worth the wait! :)
[ Google Review ] RH does it right; combining airy beautifully designed airy dining area with a water fountain. Essentially the whole experience is supporting the dining event - you are not just eating. The history of the building also contributes to the whole charm - ask them to tell you about it! We were relaxed by the sounds of the water and looked at all the beautiful design details surrounding us. Food is top notch even tho it is not rocket science- the options are simple and done well. Wine selection is fantastic! Great venue for events, perfect for a private event. We also toured the rooftop seating area. Very nicely done but since it was so hot there was none sitting there. Great service but there isn’t any flexibility. I asked for the shrimp to be grilled or pan seared a bit but they still arrived steamed. I was told they could not do it. I am sure I am not the only person asking for a small tweak. Anyhow. The dishes are very generously sized so keep that in mind while ordering.
[ Google Review ] Ferris wheel was very fun. There were other carnival ride options as well. Great food options too!. Great options for boat tours. We had kids and did a quick 40 min boat tour. Overall, navy pier seems to amaze me everything I go. Been going since I was a kid and was able to share this with my kids for the first time.
[ Google Review ] being one of the busiest airports in the world has some disadvantages. I think depending upon which terminal you are flying into or out of greatly determines your satisfaction with this place. I fly United often and those terminals have been upgraded with great food and beverage options along with multiple United club locations. And you always get to walk through the groovy neon people moving sidewalk. The newly added tram to the Rent-A-Car parking destinations lot is nice in the winter as you don’t have to go outside to catch the train.
[ Google Review ] I removed a couple stars because finding a parking spot there is a challenge and of course it costs a small fortune. Even the paid parking lots get full. I went on the weekend so be prepared to face a line if you do the same. They had only 3 people scanning tickets for a line with about 500 people. Make sure you do a time slot reservation. Tip: buying their membership for a family of 4 was cheaper than paying entrances for 1 time visit and they have partnership with other places around the country for discounts. Inside: lovely. The shows are great and impressive. They don't have a lot of seats available for rest besides the areas they sell food. The souvenir stores are cute, price of touristic places.
[ Google Review ] You have to stop by the Adler Planetarium if you ever decide to tour Chicago, Illinois. The facilities are beautiful on the inside and out. It the Adler Planetarium is one of the major attractions of Chicago. The view of the city is amazing inside the planetarium and at the top of the stair at the front entrance. There is a wonderful film that focuses on the cityscape that I highly recommend. If you have found this review helpful, like and share the review. Thanks and have a great day!
[ Google Review ] Amazing!! It was a great experience. We visited on a Monday afternoon so the wait wasn't long but they make the line interesting with photo opportunities and interesting local facts. We bought the tickets and within an hour we were finished and walking out the lobby doors with an incredible experience and photos. I highly recommend this experience if you have the time. We may have to come back to get the night time experience. Simply amazing!
[ Google Review ] Great services, we went in the afternoon. However, I heard the night time is great. We had Dave who I believe said he is a historian and was very knowledgeable and easy to follow. There is a lot of information to follow and I wonder if some sort of info pamphlet can be provided for people who want to take notes. Or something with the buildings and room for note taking. The buildings were beautiful and hearing the history around them was a great experience. The boat ride was safe and comfortable.
[ Google Review ] What amazing view from all four sides of the building. The price is not cheap, especially if you add the tilt but it will be worth your money for sure. We went up about 45 min before the sunset. This was a perfect time. You can see the city and lake with daylight, watch a beautiful sunset over the city and then see the lights as it gets dark. The sunset reflecting off the lake was absolutely breathtaking. It was not crowded and could find window front views. The line to the elevator was long but moved quickly.
[ Google Review ] We absolutely loved it here! Highly recommend Cindy's. I booked in advance as heard they get really booked up and would recommend others to do the same. The atmosphere is so lovely, the service was fantastic too. The balcony offers amazing views of the lake and Cloud Gate. It's a really unique viewpoint in Chicago! The food was also lovely. If we were local we'd definitely be coming back! 10/10 recommend.
