“Fancy hotel bar in Hyde park.”
Fancy hotel bar in Hyde park. Very classy. Drinks are a little expensive but they are mixed really well. Definitely a high class joint that you would hang out with good friends or to go out on a date. The chicken salad was decent. The chicken is juicy and tender. The salad itself isn’t bad but not superb as I have tried at other fine dining places. But overall it was a nice experience. I give it 5 stars.⭐️

“Out with a group a friends and we all enjoyed ourselves so much that 3 hours later and we still didn't want to leave.”
Out with a group a friends and we all enjoyed ourselves so much that 3 hours later and we still didn't want to leave. The atmosphere felt great, although there was quite a bit of people we felt secluded in our booth. The food was well spaced and everything was delicious. Including the fries. I had a Cold Melon Soup and it was not what I was expecting, but it tasted good and looked almost too beautiful to eat. My steak was great too.

“I think this place is a vibe.”
I think this place is a vibe. I love the bar area and the drink selections. They’re tiny but tasty. The bathrooms are very nice. The staff are welcoming. It’s a great place to wind down for a drink or meet with friends after work. I ordered the pineapple almond cake for dessert, it wasn’t anything to write home about. The flavor was unique but compared to the other choices I should have gone with the chocolate. For a drink and slice of cake I spent $48 w tip.

“Beautiful hotel eatery.”
Beautiful hotel eatery. Connected to the Sophy hotel. Loved the art. Really beautiful fireplace. Great customer service all around. Went for birthday dinner. Very melanated crowd in the heart of Hyde Park. Everyone was dressed business casual. The food was excellent. Too much Parm on the Cesar salad but it was still yummy. Steak and halibut were delicious. Really enjoyed the roasted garlic. It was a highlight of the meal. Surprised us with a candle in the coconut pineapple ice cream and it was on the house.

“A nice and well decorated restaurant in Hyde Park area.”
A nice and well decorated restaurant in Hyde Park area. Very different vibe walking in there from the street. We had a family brunch there. They made the ordinary brunch dishes very enjoyable, for kids and adults.

“If I'm in Hyde Park, I almost always go to Mesler Kitchen.”
If I'm in Hyde Park, I almost always go to Mesler Kitchen. The space is beautiful and everything I've eaten is so good! The vegetarian selection isn't huge but there's something for you regardless. The cocktails are on point too, if that's your thing.

“This is a really great contemporary restaurant with a library theme.”
This is a really great contemporary restaurant with a library theme. Books neatly adorn built-in shelves on the walls. The whole place looks really inviting and comfortable. It's a great place for a date of families. The wait staff were great and the food was great! I'd definitely return!

“The Mesler is outstanding.”
The Mesler is outstanding. Seriously, the vibe, the decor, the aesthetic, the touches of sophistication. Our food was excellent too. The staff and service were excellent. I was impressed that at the end of the night how full and how much a scene was happening here. It's a bit pricey but it's great food surrounded by excellence, served in excellence. You'll be getting what you pay for. We had a great time. 10/10 recommend

“My fiancé and I stayed at the Sophy hotel and decided to grab lunch at Mesler.”
My fiancé and I stayed at the Sophy hotel and decided to grab lunch at Mesler. It is beautifully decorated with a great view. We both had the Maine Lobster roll and fries and were able to get our margaritas to go along with the food. This was honestly the best Lobster roll I’ve had. There was enough lobster in every bite and it was loaded with flavor. It was a bit pricey at $34 for the sandwich but well worth it. It also came with fries and they were, well fries. Nothing special, but there were also none left so there’s that🙂 I passed on the deviled eggs but my fiancé had them and said they were delicious The margaritas were nice and strong which is a good thing. My only complaint is the wait time of placing our order as well as the wait time cashing out. Overall, I definitely recommend!

“The atmosphere is beautiful.”
The atmosphere is beautiful. The food was great. Overall we really enjoyed our experience here. We ordered the chicken and waffles, pancakes with berries, and bacon. Chicken was well seasonsed and the waffles were fresh and hot. I enjoyed the hash browns. The sour cream was a perfect compliment. I will be visiting again!
