Millennium Hall Restaurant — Restaurant in Chicago

If you go to Chicago and don’t visit Millennium Park, did you even go to Chicago? This place is basically the city’s outdoor living room, where tourists flock, locals lounge, and street performers work harder than your average 9-to-5 employee. Let’s start with The Bean (aka Cloud Gate if you want to be fancy). You will take a photo in front of it. You will make a weird face in the reflection. You will contemplate whether your forehead really looks that big or if it’s just the angle. It’s a rite of passage, and you just have to accept it. Bonus points if you go early enough to avoid the tourist swarm and actually get a picture without 47 strangers in the background. Then there’s the Crown Fountain, aka the giant video faces that randomly spit water. It’s equal parts mesmerizing and slightly unsettling, like an art installation that doubles as a fever dream. But on a hot day? Those fountains are the closest thing to salvation. If you’re not prepared for a surprise splash zone moment, well… you’ve been warned. If you’re lucky, you’ll stumble upon a free concert at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion—because nothing screams summer in Chicago like live music, a picnic blanket, and aggressively guarding your snacks from pigeons. The architecture here is stunning, too. Frank Gehry clearly had a vision, and that vision was “What if metal...

We hosted a private pizza-making event for 15 people. We had the most wonderful time! The staff was great serving us! Chef Edgar was enthusiastic and so clear on his directions for making the pizzas. We also loved learning about the Italian pizza background -- especially in those beautiful ovens!

The food!!!! Wow! The menu was simply perfect for our group. The toasted ravioli was delicious. The vegetables were fresh, crisp and so beautifully arranged! I took a bite of the bruschetta when my pizza was supposedly finished by me and when I tasted how delicious those cherry tomatoes were....I HAD to add those to my pizza too! The cannoli was beyond amazing and the fruit was so sweet and tasted like it was right from a summer garden (IN THE WINTER!) Wow! I had the red wine, and that was a lovely wine, too!

Everyone appreciated that the ginormous tv was turned on to watch some important-to-our-group football games, too. It was also fun watching the ice skaters right outside the windows. Working with Adri was great, too, in the planning of this event. THANK YOU to Millennium Hall for making our staff event a success. We thought the price was extremely fair for the quality of the food and the service AND on top of that, we had a fun activity...

Our server was David and he was wonderful. He was very kind and understanding and friendly. Fabian was a very nice staff person. This is a beautiful restaurant because it's right where the bean is and it's so pretty to see that and it's nice to do people watching around here. This is also used as an ice-skating rink in the winter and other events happen here. The ambience is nice because you have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are nice and it's an inviting place. It's also in the heart of all the tourist hot spots downtown so it is a nice place to enjoy food and drinks. They have happy hour 4-6pm where they have $5 dollars off pizza and appetizers. We got the 12” $22 Carni Italiani pizza but it had a little bit of fresh mozzarella cheese and it was super spicy. The meat was tasty. The best part of the pizza was the chewy crust and dough which is not common to find in Chicago. They also have $10 drinks during happy hour. The burger w fries were very good. We even saw a Trump protest against ICE raids and such today while eating bc it’s right on...
