Best Hotel Restaurant
NoMI
Other nominees: Avenues, Lockwood, Quince, Sixteen
Hotel dining usually means rubbery shrimp cocktail and steak dripping in cloying béarnaise sauce, but executive chef Christophe David has established this North Mag Mile kitchen as a bulwark against nostalgic gastronomy. The French-born and -trained chef boldly jettisons his homeland’s typical dishes laden with cream and butter in favor of a summertime brew of frothy watermelon soup with lobster-encrusted croutons, or slow-cooked bass with celery noodles. But while you can take the chef out of France, you can’t take the French out of the chef: His Parmesan-and-butter–infused risotto and burgundy-truffle crème brûlée are as calorically astronomical as the dining room’s Dale Chihuly chandeliers are pricey. 800 N Michigan Ave, 312-239-4030.

Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now.
What are you folks thinking?

Naha is so expensive! I went there and could not believe how expensive both the food and wine were!
