Lockwood Restaurant

Was staying at the Palmer this week and the restaurant was very convenient especially for breakfast. Staff were great morning people and extremely lively. They actually worked hard to make sure your morning was off to a good start.
Good food as I only had breakfast and I enjoyed their charroso gravy and biscuits just the right amount of kick for the day. Bacon was cooked the way I enjoy not to crispy and not too chewy.

Its our second time staying in Palmer house
Beautiful hotel.

Their front desk staff is wonderful and such a nice welcoming people.

We had lunch
Lunch was amazing
And server: she was really friendly and looked like she was working by herself
Even though she is by herself she was still managing to check on us time by time

We had our breakfast to go this morning
Oh man what a experience
Manager was looked so mad and pissed
I wish someone check the camera and watch his attitude
I never treated like this in hospitality industry
He stormed of on us
He was so pissed and mad
And after we sign the check n we gave him the check and said thank you to him
He never say thank you he just took the check and stormed off again
Restaurant manager !!!!
Wow if its too much to handle i think he should step away and take a break
He dont have to blow off on anyone
If its other way around he would be so pissed if i treat him the way he treated us
So hope he read this!!!!
I dont deserve to treated or start my morning like that
And you want to be call yourself luxury hotel
Wooow nooo!!!!!

Staying here at the Palmer House Hotel, we thought we would give the restaurant a try. Food is good. A bit pricey but understandable since it is in a hotels waitstaff was nice. After our meal I was so looking forward to the apple crisp with mascarpone and candied pecans. Disappointment came when it was served without the pecans.

Located in the mezzanine of the famous Palmer Hotel, I stopped by this Chicago institution on Michelle W's recommendation for a nightcap after my Saturday dinner. I'm guessing I arrived close to last call and on a day of proms and whatnot because service did feel a little rushed. I mean, there was little banter or other recommendations. That's why I can only rate this three stars.

The space itself is beautiful with floor and ceiling mosaics, which I had seen earlier during one of the architecture tours. My drink, the Armstrong - captain Morgan, orange and tiki bitters - was actually pretty smooth and well mixed.

I came into town to visit my husband on a work trip. He hadn't had much luck with food since he got here so we took a chance and ate at the Lockwood which is downstairs in the Palmer House hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at how perfect this food was!! The salmon was tender and flavorful and the crab cake was delicious and the perfect late night portion. They had some signature cocktails but I had the margarita which was yummy. I would definitely recommend this place it's nice and the service was fast.

Had to bounce between two and three stars for a while. Settled on 3, but still.
The restaurant is located at the Palmer House hotel where I was staying. I visited the restaurant twice for breakfast, and the food was very good (had steel cut oatmeal and overnight oats, both tasty and well presented).
Then I stopped by for dinner. First I got chicken soup, which was good, but honestly sounded better on the description.
As my main dish I decided on lobster roll.
Big mistake, very big. I live in New England, and I know very well what is good lobster roll. What was brought to my table looked like a hotdog bun with maybe a two ounces of lobster, almost dry. Both taste and size were pitiful, so for $28 I mainly got very tasty French fries.
The Palmer House hotel is beautiful and worth seeing it. But if you know what the real lobster roll is, my only recommendation is to avoid this dish.
Service was excellent during all of my visits.

Solid hotel restaurant food. For ambiance, eat in the beautiful lobby instead of the restaurant itself. Plentiful staff and very attentive sevice. Hidden inside the Palmer House so probably doesn't get the attention it deserves.

We had dinner here our last night in Chicago. Our server was awesome. Our cocktails & dinners were perfect! It was pure luck that we got a table here on a Saturday evening without a res. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the hotel are super chill. I highly recommend visiting Palmer House if you're ever in Chicago.

We came to check out the historic building. We arrived during Happy Hour and it was super busy. We were fortunate enough to arrive just when a couple was leaving.

The bartenders were friendly and quick. The menu not too exhaustive. The lounge singer had a good repertoire. Overall, we enjoyed our few hours hanging out at this iconic bar.

We ordered:
Marinated olives
Bertha's brownies
Sazerac
The Duchess. Although it doesn't contain Jaggermeister, it strongly gives off the scent of Jaggermeister. Thank goodness it did not taste like it!
Local rye whiskey

Cocktails at The Lobby Bar. Fun times

The Palmer House Hilton is exquisite and the restaurant doesn't disappoint. I had several visits to the bar which has a wonderful atmosphere and great service. For breakfast I had the most wonderful omelette with onions, spinach and mushrooms. The berries were spectacular. I commented to the server and she remarked that their produce is very fresh! The Palmer House Hilton was where the browsing was invented so it's not to be missed!
