This is a restaurant and cafe manage by the St Jane Hotel. The restaurant is a hot place with a fancy and stylish atmosphere. The cafe on the left side of the entrance offers a variety of drinks menu and bakery in a neat interior. Access to a good location close to the Millennium Park is good.

Great spot for lunch. Service was great, and the food was very good. Only complaint is that the Bahn Mi sandwich was very difficult to eat - the porkbelly was too chewy/tough. Flavor was great, however.

good food

Absolutely beautiful restaurant and bar that mimics the classic architecture of the rest of the hotel. The menu is simplistic in size but not in its offerings. Very thoughtful courses with exceptional ingredients and drinks that are absolute experiences from beginning to end. Be sure to stop by if you're in the area.

I recommend the lemon muffin! Not the matcha latte tho

I always walk by and I get impressed by the design of this place. Seriously the design is phenomenal. So I stopped by and I had lunch. I ordered baby kale salad with chicken. It was very disappointing. The waiter was very late to come to take the check. He was very young guy so I really couldn’t give him feedback.I would love to give the chef a feedback. You know this place is awesome. But they just need to improve the food quality. It’s very overpriced but I think for the location and the design and the interior I can’t understand why it’s super pricey. But for salad like that it should be much much better. The taste was very stale. It’s not magic to make a fresh nice salad. I would love to show the chef how to make a fresh organic flavorful simple salad with grilled chicken. Maybe I’m picky because I cook a lot myself. But for an awesome place like this I expect the salad to be much much better. However I will come back to try the coffee and the pastries and maybe try the dinner.

Nice place to spend a while

Great early morning cold brew coffee spot with a great view!

My new favorite coffee shop and bar in Downtown Chicago! Good coffee, great ambience, and love the location!

Great food, even better service. Go with ur server's suggestions.

Outstanding. I've now been to this place for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and also just for coffee and pastries and it delivers on all fronts. First off, the service is impeccable and the space is beautiful. Both the chef and the pastry chef have michelin stars so this place is a foodie dream. I highly recommend the lobster roll, the saffron spaghetti and the french fries (trust me on this one). Even the chocolate hazelnut croissant I had with my coffee was a best-i-ever-had moment.

Beautiful setting, cozy booth area, great drink menu that they change out seasonally. Fish of the day was delicious. Our server explained the dishes to great detail.

Very underwhelmed. Nothing "bad" but nothing excited me, nor tasted better than "meh" Also, Salmon was dry.

Great drinks, staff, vibe, location

Amazing Filipino Breakfast on the weekends. I also had the Espresso Martini that was equally as good. I was little hesitant of the prices but I definitely see myself coming by again. The service by the cafe staff was great but I had to hunt for the hostess to get a table and pay my bill.
