American Craft Kitchen & Bar: A Chicago Hotel Restaurant Worth Visiting

Just stopped by here for a drink and chat with a friend. It is a nice atmosphere and the drinks are well made. They could not make everything we wanted (couldn't make a Penicillin or Rusty Nail) but what we had was delicious.

We came here while visiting to use a hotel dining credit. We weren’t starving but ordered some food and drinks to use up the credit. I had the poke bowl and my significant other had the pork belly bahn mi. The food was just fine. Nothing wrong with it but overpriced, even with the credit, and a bit lacking in flavor and quality. We had some wine and beer as well. What is interesting about this hotel is that it has several restaurants and many areas for conferences. It would be convenient to have so many dining options on site if you are at a work conference or meeting because this hotel is a little pit of the way.

I was staying at the Hyatt for a conference (late October) and came here for a late lunch with zero expectations, but it ended up being a nice surprise! I started with a Caramel Apple Martini and it was delicious! So i just had to have a second one. I ordered the Herb Roasted Half Chicken, with a side salad and fries, and it was great too.

We stayed at the Hyatt so eating here was easy for us. We had no wait time securing a table and the staff was very welcoming. Our food was served fresh, fast and with the friendliest waiter I’ve had in years. Mohammed (Sonjai?) said he had worked there for 31 years. He was such a delight and ensured we had the best experience! We throughly enjoyed our time. We will be back!

Breakfast was included with our room and we weren’t sure we’d even go but we are so glad we did. High quality food and service. Maria was who showed us to our table everyday and she was lovely and all our different waiters throughout our stay were awesome. One day there was a long line and we weren’t sure we’d go, but the line went quick and service was outstanding. Definitely worth the money even if not included in your room.

I ordered the Baked Texas Toast. Some of the best French toast I’ve had in a long time! Eggs were perfect, chicken sausage flavorful — I can’t believe this came from a hotel restaurant.

Had lunch here during a conference and service was great. The chicken soup portion is plenty to share between 4 people, and the lobster roll portion is very generous.

Absolutely stunning restaurant with glass rooftop and insanely tall and spacious ceilings that let in natural sunlight all day. The breakfast buffet is $25 and goes from 6am-11am (12pm on weekends). Everything in the buffet felt like it was at a top resort in Hawaii- super fresh, inviting, and plentiful. Check out my photos, I would give 6 stars if I cold. Jose, my server was super nice and attentive.
