"Chicago’s largest restaurant group closing a business inside the former home of the city’s most famous restaurant is a very rare shutter double whammy. But that’s what happened when Lettuce Entertain You closed Booth One in June inside the former home of the legendary Pump Room. The decision to close the Gold Coast restaurant after less than two and a half years was mutual, according to a press release, but nonetheless surprising. The Ambassador Hotel, which houses the space, replaced it with a generic bar and dining." - Daniel Gerzina
