Rich oak wood and verdant greenery set the stage for this classic restaurant perched above the corner of the Magnificent Mile and the Gold Coast, with beautiful panoramic view of lake Michigan and Lake Shore Drive. Here guests enjoy outstanding service for breakfast and lunch 365 days a year.

"Reservations were for Easter Brunch.
Brunch was good but nothing special. Typical brunch foods. Minimal dessert.
Service was exeptional.
Good for breakfast when staying at hotel, but was a poor choice for the holiday."

"The staff was exceptional. Very accomidating. The Easter brunch buffet was wonderful and reasonably priced (compared to the ballroom brunch at over 100 dollars). It was kid friendly and we had a wonderful experience."

"I took my family because I like the buffet. They liked it too. I don't like the potatoes. I like the croissants, greek yogurt is like Middle Eastern labneh. They have many options. The scrambled eggs aren't bad."

"Cozy atmosphere on a wet, chilly day, with a wonderful view of Lake Michigan. Casual lunch menu...the fruit served on the side was fresh and delicious, as were the sandwiches and huge lobster roll. The service could not have been more welcoming, responsive or attentive. I would recommend this to anyone needing a relaxing break from shopping or other downtown Chicago activities."

"Boring, generic Hilton buffet. Skip it and go someplace local with a good atmosphere. Honestly, for $25 bucks, it wasn't a terrible value, but who cares. Could have been in any hotel. Expected more from the Drake."
