Lockwood Restaurant & Bar

This is inside the Palmer house. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. We sat had Sazererac enjoyed the ambiance so much we stayed for dinner. I got the burger and fries.

Very limited seating in a very large hotel. Loud and busy. Limited menu. Food and drinks are ok, including the original Brownies.

Oh my dear goodness, the SALMON!! I discovered from one of the servers that the person who cooks it is called Juan, and I believe this person to be MAGIC. I ordered it twice, because it was so dang delicious I had to eat it again the next day!! I was literally daydreaming about it while I was in the Art Institute museum. ? Cannot recommend this place enough. They were *so* excellent about checking on my food allergies/restrictions/sensitivities, and I felt super safe eating there and DIDN'T have a reaction either time. ??

Enjoyed an early breakfast with friends. Reservations are not accepted and tbe entire party must be present before being seated. Excellent traditional breakfast fare. Our waiter Juan was amazing.

The atmosphere and experience was amazing! We had the charcuterie board and the hummus plate. Both top notch and very warm pita bread to complement the spread. Everything tasted very fresh and of high quality. However, the service? Not so much. The gentleman didn't like that we had a coupon for the charcuterie board and two drinks. When we got the bill, our two old fashioneds were on there. He said he told us which drinks were part of the deal but we didn't get the menu until after we ordered and asked for one. The other server took off everything except one extra drink we purchased outside of the coupon and was very nice. I understand if you are having a bad night but don't bold face lie to customers and treat them with attitude because you don't think you'll get a tip. We still tipped well, ($10 on a $10 bill). But my real tip to them is be nicer, it's better for everyone.

I ordered their BBQ salmon and while the fish was cooked fairly well and had great flavor, it seemed very small considering the price. I understand that it is restaurant hotel pricing, just expected a bit more. The salad that came with it also had great flavor, just had more dressing than I normally like, so I suggest getting it in the side. The carrot cake was very good.

This is one of my favorites spots in Chicago however last Saturday I stopped by for drinks and appetizers around 4:00 pm I sat at the bar, the bartenders literally ignored us for 20mn, then finally they gave us the menu and we have to wait another 10mn for them to take our order, we only had the drinks because it was impossible to order the appetizers later. It’s a shame such a wonderful place has such a bad service, the bar wasn’t busy at the time we were there.

Great atmosphere, a place to see and be seen. Highly recommend going on a live music night. It is pricey, seating and getting the bar staff's attention is tricky on busy nights
