State and Lake Chicago Tavern

"I have to say I sat at the bar, got amazing drinks, the food was a totally lip smacking. I have to give a special shout out to Arthur for being such a nice bartender. Definitely have to come and request Arthur and yapp it up with him while enjoying a great atmosphere! I also have to add that the playlist is absolutely killer. Chefs kiss on top!"

"The staff is so wonderful. Steve was fantastic. They had good food, live music, nice atmosphere. The staff all signed a birthday card and made me such a delicious birthday dessert. They are incredibly thoughtful and each and every person had a smile of their face. We really enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend"

"Fun restaurant located in the Wit hotel. There’s a little for everyone on the menu and the variety of drink is fantastic. They have local brews along with fancy holiday themed spirits. The staff is very friendly and the vibe is a great tavern style. If you’re attending a show in the area, I would highly recommend grabbing a meal/drinks here before or after."

"We ate breakfast here for two days during our stay at the hotel. The omelets are wholesome as can be seen in the pictures. However the avocado toast and yogurt parfait were average in taste and quantity. The parfait had more yogurt than fruits and granola and was not layered at all. The avocado toast seemed to lack some side potatoes or salad."

"Food... pretty decent! My steak was cooked perfect to order (medium-rare, as if there's any other way to eat a steak lol), juicy, tender, and delicious. The garlic bread fondue was dank. Was thrown a little by the fondue poured over the bread, but it was tasty nonetheless! Service... meh. My water glass was always full, which I always appreciate and expect at full service restaurants. But I don't think our actual waiter checked in on us once during the course of our meal. And we sat for a considerably lengthy amount of time well after we were finished eating. I had to flag our waiter down so we could get a to-go box and our bill. Anyway, they were really busy and I think our waiter may have been alone or didn't have much help. That may have contributed to the long wait and inattentive service. Would I return? ...🤔 Yes. Yes, I would. I'm chalking the poor service up to being busy and understaffed. I can look past that. The food was good and there were still several options on the menu I wouldn't mind trying."
