90th Meridian - Chicago

Imagine your favorite airport restaurant. Now imagine it actually has good food and service. That pretty much sums up the look and feel of 90th Meridian.I was a little hesitant when this place opened up across the street from my office. The building it moved into, the Central Standard Building (formerly the Continental Illinois Bank Building), had been pretty barren for a while. After an apparent change in ownership, the building was seeing a revitalization of businesses, such as the wildly-popular Naf-Naf that opened across the hall.I came here one day for lunch just to see what it's about. I was happy to see the full bar and ample seating. Our server was extremely friendly and happily recommended some of their local beers. Unfortunately, they don't list what the frequently-rotating beers are on the menu, so you have to ask every time.As for the food, it's delicious! I got the cheeseburger the first time I came, and the chicken wings the second. The fries that come with the burger are extremely addicting, reminding me of the Crack Fries at Hopcat. The wings were tasty, but a pretty small portion. My only complaint here is that the food is pretty pricey, even for the Loop.Surprisingly, the payment portion here is fun. If you are splitting a check among the table, you can do it all yourself on a handheld device the waiter gives you. This allows you to split payment by certain items and pay right there on the device.I recommend this place for the food mostly, but they also have some good daily specials (such as half priced bottles of wine). If you are in the area, give it a try!

Really enjoyed the sliders and fries. Nice atmosphere.

Love this place. Great for business lunch or just to grab some Great food.
