Hot Chocolate - Chicago

A Chicago staple for a reason, this place carves out a niche for itself by having some truly unique menu items. Bring your sweet tooth, as the hot chocolate is an absolute must, with lots of options and flavor combinations. A full bakery serving cookies, rolls, breads, scones, donuts and other assorted musings. Or sit down and have actual breakfast, sausage, eggs, french toast, whatever; everything has been good anytime I am here. Definitely make a reservation if you can, otherwise you'll be waiting as there is always a line out the door. The dining room is a bit cramped, and naturally the noise level is often very high. But for food this good, all of that can be forgiven.

Food was very good as always but we had some service issues not receiving our kids' meals or drinks until long after we had received ours, and waiting 5 10 minutes for our check; the wait staff was working hard but perhaps they were understaffed or paying closer attention to other parties. A disappointment for us with afternoon plans.

When planning my trip to Chicago this restaurant popped up as must try place. My friend and I were NOT disappointed. It is intimate seating so you are close to your dining neighbor but we didn 't find this intrusive. In fact, we had a nice chat with the couple sitting next to us about our hot chocolate and they ended up ordering the same thing. The food was fresh, superb quality and I am very appreciative to restaurants that utilize local, seasonal fare. We loved the hot chocolate so much we ended up going to Revival Food Hall near our hotel just to have another cup before leaving the city. Definitely would go back during another trip to the Windy City!

Had high hopes for this restaurant and even though the taste of the food and the ambiance were great, the service was terrible. Not to mention I found a piece of hair in my entree and other than swapping it out for another dish, nothing else was done. Usually a Manager would come and apologize but that didn't happen

It was okay. The chocolate is very very very dense And rich. I had chocolate squared desert and immediately felt like I was going to be sick. Super thick and basically just a jar of thick chocolate. The actual food was just ok. Leaves a lot to be desired but the raspberries and peaches dessert was good. The hot cocoa is also pretty thick. If I ever go back it'll just be for the hot cocoa. It's a beautiful place for a date but not even worth the money.
