"Take in the views of the Chicago River from the 11th floor of The St. Regis Chicago at Lettuce Entertain You’s Japanese restaurant Miru. Start with a flight of mimosas made with fresh-squeezed orange juice, peach puree, and lychee puree, then opt for a traditional Tokyo brunch with miso soup, ginger rice, pickles, and miso-glazed steak, or buttermilk pancakes topped with whipped yuzu ricotta and blueberries. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"Miru, the all-day Japanese restaurant from Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises at the St. Regis Chicago hotel — which resides inside the 101-story skyscraper that overlooks Navy Pier in Lakeshore East — is celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with fried chicken. The move is inspired by the popularity of Kentucky Fried Chicken at Christmastime in Japan. A $95 brunch buffet is what’s being offered from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. with regular service throughout the day." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
"This guide exists specifically for places like Miru—and let us count the ways. This Japanese restaurant is on the rooftop of the $700-a-night St. Regis Hotel in Lakeshore East. The view of the skyline is incredible, and the service is even better. The food isn't amazing (the long menu ranges from just-OK sushi to not-very-good entrees like burnt miso cod), but great food isn't why you're here. It's to admire the view, have a bunch of drinks or dessert, and feel like you can afford to throw money off said rooftop." - veda kilaru
