Grill on 21

“Had an absolutely wonderful time here for dinner.”

Had an absolutely wonderful time here for dinner! The Truffle Risotto was one of the best I’ve ever tried. The service was great from the checkin to our server to the management coming up to thank us! Would 100% return!

“Service was impeccable!”

Service was impeccable!! Had the Lobster Bisque and the Del Monico Ribeye cooked Chicago Blue. Far and away the most flavorful and perfectly prepared ribeye I’ve experienced. Went with the truffle butter on the side which was very good but found the steak needed nothing. Fork tender and melted into my tastebuds. The Lobster Bisque was an experience in itself that left me craving another bite.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience for a late lunch at the bar at Grill on 21. Darren with a G was at the bar serving us and he was awesome. The drinks were on point and we had great conversation in a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend.

“We spent our 15th wedding anniversary in Chicago and celebrated with dinner at Grill on 21.”

We spent our 15th wedding anniversary in Chicago and celebrated with dinner at Grill on 21! The atmosphere was beautiful, the staff were so welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband loved the Caesar salad, and my Steak and Frites was outstanding! To top it off, they surprised us with an anniversary dessert plate and a round of champagne on the house, which made the night feel extra special. The live music added to the beautiful ambiance. We’ll definitely be back! I just wish I could remember our waiter’s name to give him a special shout-out.

“I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Mary during my recent visit to the Marriott...”

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Mary during my recent visit to the Marriott Chicago's bar and restaurant, and I cannot praise her enough! From the moment I sat down, her warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. She was not only attentive but also genuinely friendly, taking the time to recommend a few cocktails and share her knowledge about the menu. Her impeccable service was delivered with a smile, and she seemed to anticipate every need before I even had to ask. Mary's professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional, ensuring that each guest in the bar had an outstanding experience. Whether it was checking in to see if everything was to my liking or remembering my preferences with ease, it was clear she genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences for guests. The drinks and food were fantastic, but it was Mary's exceptional service that truly elevated my visit. If you’re lucky enough to be served by her, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Marriott Chicago is fortunate to have such an amazing team member. I will definitely be back, all thanks to Mary’s amazing hospitality!

As a guest of this hotel, I have enjoyed incredibly food, cocktails and top tier service. I highly recommend!!!! Garren went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was amazing. When we requested hot chocolate and Baileys after a chilly walkabout the city he made it happen. He provides excellent service behind the bar and in the restaurant. Make sure and request him!

“Beef Wellington and a near perfect Manhattan.”

Beef Wellington and a near perfect Manhattan. I asked about this dish and was told by my server that it was one of the best things on the menu. The dish is not a fast one, mind you, but I was willing to wait. They have several dry interesting and good appetizer options, but I could not afford ‘real estate’. It was made for me specifically, and served hot off the press, which I always expect and appreciate. I’m from Vegas and have had unfortunate cold BW at the Master’s own kitchen (Hell’s Kitchen), so this was a nice surprise. It was a slow Sunday evening, and I appreciated the attention to my meal, which was prepared wonderfully! I’d eat this again in Chicago.
