Allium

Before coming out to Chicago I watches a video on the many Hot Dogs of the area and I was giddy to see that this restaurant in the Four Seasons hotel served their own version. The idea of having what is considered low brow food in that kind of atmosphere just excited me. Then I went there and it was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful and the seating is very comfortable. We had a lovely time able right across from the fireplace which was very cozy. We ordered two of their specialty drinks which were pricey but very good. Then we ordered the Hot Dogs and they were great. Everything was house made and really good, it was a hot dog but it was elevated just enough to justify the price. The waiter was attentive and wished is a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. I know it was in the system but in the past places we have gone to have ignored info we have entered. Later after he charged us for a desert that was given as a gift he apologized and he really didn't have to I was happy to pay for the desert and he was so great, we tipped him based in the original bill anyway. We left the restaurant feeling giddy, the kind of giddy that good food, service and atmosphere can only give you. I can't wait to come back to go again.

I was there last Thursday with my friend, we had dinner pairing with wine for Chef series: Chef Murray and chef Gaytan did a wonder job for creating 3 courses dinner. I am totally want to come back and try some more food from Chef Murray. Also the service was fantastic

The food was excellent! Deliciously detailed dishes. My salmon was perfectly prepared! The service was stellar. Everyone was so attentive and accommodating! A beautiful place to visit. I was impressed.

Friendly easy going staff, not crowded, nice high rise view, and of course good food. Went here because of the review on Chicago Eater, top 15 dog joints. The Chicago style dog for $17 was an experience. Not usually my thing but it ate like a meal and came with fresh preparations of relish, onions, peppers and grape tomatoes. The fries were salted just right and came with a whiskey BBQ sauce that really tasted like it was made on the spot. The sausage was all beef and tasted as good as you might expect. It came with a seasoned pickle i had an enjoyable bite of and put on the side (after all there was fresh relish). I was good after the dog which was meaty and satisfying but figured I might not be back and went for a unique dessert. If you're into such things, but only if you are more into the experience and sight of such artistry, would I recommend this dessert: corn profiterole. Tomato creme with fresh basil and sweet merengue sticks with caramel popcorn, along with orange sorbet (which made every forkful taste better) and a cookie filled with marscarpone. I'll opt for the pumpkin sorbet next time, but boy was that extra filling.

Steaks are well made, desert is very tasty. Mahi-mahi salad is good and fresh.

Butterscotch shake was amazing but the service was absolutely terrible. First off we got charged for alcohol in the shake which we never asked for and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even alcoholic but ok. I ordered a beer and the waiter completely forgot about it. It took literally 25 minutes just to get our check and it's not like the place was packed.

food we got (charcuterie, broccolini, chicken, lamb) wasn’t as salty as we expected (read: great thing) but it was all very tender and good. although i didn’t think it was anything extraordinary. definitely a good place to visit if you have the pockets. pro tip: entrance is on the same floor as the four seasons hotel lobby

The octopus, halibut, and dessert were phenomenal, and plating is beautiful!
