"A seventh-floor bar that serves as the welcoming staging point for a more exclusive upstairs cocktail experience, greeting guests with champagne and guiding them by elevator to an elevated, reservation-forward lounge; it functions as both a standalone bar and the introductory node for the hotel's hidden-suite cocktail offering." - Matt Kirouac
"The Four Seasons Hotel Chicago restaurant’s recently refreshed menu offers stylish plating, with salads garnished with edible flowers, and big flavors like flat iron steak with truffle butter. The wine list is extensive, but the cocktail program really stands out with quirky concoctions like a Thai basil and serrano pepper spiced daiquiri and an old fashioned blended with chicory and fig. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
"The Four Seasons Hotel’s bar and restaurant recently lost its chef, who had previously left the Michelin-starred restaurant earlier in 2023 to take the hotel post and has now returned to work with Curtis Duffy; the move signals continued staffing churn among high-profile city kitchens." - Ashok Selvam
"Helmed by Richie Farina, an alum of Michelin-starred Ever, Monteverde, and Moto, Adorn is no mere hotel restaurant. Inside the Four Seasons, Adorn delivers wagyu beef cheeks, king crab gnochetti, and even playful fare like an homage to a Pizza Puff. This is an all-day restaurant good for groups." - Ashok Selvam
