Park Grill
11 North Michigan Avenue Chicago, IL 60602
(312) 372-7275
When Park Grill first opened in 2003, reservations were hard to come by – and it’s no secret why! Call it a bit of tourist fever but this contemporary American bistro, located in the midst of Millennium Park, is Chicago’s quintessential dining experience. Only six months after its debut, the 2004 Zagat Chicago Restaurant Guide ranked Park Grill fifth in the Best New Restaurant category. We recommend the signature Park Grill Burger with toppings like Herkimer cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, grilled onions… and of course, the Bean. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sun 11am-11pm.

Perennial, the new addition to the Lincoln Park hood, is a casual American bistro located inside the sassy new boutique hotel - Park View Hotel.
