Dine

usually hotel restaurants are generic and sub par. Not so at Dine! we were there just last week. Wonderful drinks. My sister had the 7 layer salad, which we love, but never had in a restaurant. It was presented in a Mason jar to pour on to the plate. Very fresh and yummy. We split the Corn pudding, another homestyle fav and it did not disappoint. I had the scallops, huge and succulent. Dine is wonderful.

Need to get over that Dine is located in the Crown Plaza Hotel. They valet park your car and stamp your ticket for FREE parking! The lunch we enjoyed was outstanding. The Chicken Caesar Salad was one of the best I have ever had. The Buttermilk dipped Calamari were excellent. I will come back again!

Went to eat at Dine. Not going back. Ambiance is nice, but still, it's a hotel restaurant in the end The menus are kinda tacky (like disposable paper placemats), cheap-looking for such expensive dishes. Variety is so-so. Quality of food was superb, well-presented, perfectly prepared, but your typical 'nouveau cuisine' with meager portions. Waitress was really nice, until the end of her shift where she was a bit abrupt and wanted us to cash out asap (with a smile). Our water glasses never got refilled, which was not good since the only thing I was drinking was water.

I was so pleased to see Dine open in the west loop...you can only eat so much Greek food and quite frankly, I am over Randolph street. Dine is a great spot for after work drinks because it has an enormous lounge with big comfy chairs. Try their grilled tuna entree with mushroom rissoto and artichoke salad...it's to die for!
