We loved our breakfast at Little Goat, and keep in mind that it is little. Recommend booking ahead. The Okonomiyaki was a wonderful bowl of flavor and textures. Chocolate scone was big, had a good crunchy crust and delicious. Wait staff were friendly and attentive.

What a great place for a birthday brunch! We lived everything we ordered and our waitress was very nice. My son asked if we can come back next time when we are in Chicago. :)

Adorn is a special night or business restaurant. Those who remember the old Four Seasons Lobby, bar and restaurant long for the good old days. But I love the light, bright contemporary decor and white table cloths. Service is perfect. If there is no DJ playing in the bar, it’s very quiet. The food is excellent. But the menu is a little too meat centric. Well it’s primarily a business expense account restaurant.
