A Bar Overshadowed by Its Desserts! Chicago Restaurant Full of Surpris

📍 The Franklin Room Address: 675 N Franklin St, Chicago, IL 60654 📣 Vibe: French‑style bistro + whiskey bar with an extensive whiskey selection. 💰 Price: Two appetizers + two drinks + two mains + one side + one dessert = ~$100 after tax & tip. 🅿️ Parking: Walked, so didn’t check. Landed in Chicago without a dinner reservation and walked in here—drawn by their food‑and‑drink focus. And wow, what a find! Must‑try: 🍖 Lamb Chop appetizer – So tender and flavorful! 🎃 Butternut Squash side – Absolutely delicious. ⚠️ If you’re just coming for drinks, do NOT skip dessert! 🍫 Chocolate Crunch – A genius creation: dark chocolate‑hazelnut mousse, slightly bitter, layered with nutty caramel sauce—perfectly balanced, textured, and indulgent. I’d heard Chicago’s food and bar scene was great, but didn’t expect a random walk‑in spot to impress this much! I love Chicago, haha! #Chicago #ChicagoLife #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFoodie #WhiskeyBar #DessertHeaven
