    Modern, sleek, airy, minimalist space. They got the acoustics right! Excellent for brunch before visiting The Art Institute.

    Loving the interior design of this restaurant. So spacious, minimalist and modern. Food was simple and pretty straightforward. Get the flatbread margherita; loved the tomato base & touch of basil.

    The best restaurant in the Art Institute. Great view. The fish is always a tasty & beautifully presented choice. Soups are usually very good as well.

    Tony Mantuano's restaurant in the Art Institute is a big step above the usual museum food. Plus, the views of Millennium Park are stunning.

    Fulfill your dream of becoming one of the "ladies who lunch" at this upscale Chef Tony Mantuano restaurant in the Modern Wing of the Art Institute. Discuss the weather over a crisp glass of Sancerre.

    Eschew lackluster mains for flatbreads (topped with creamy burrata and seasonal ingredients like scapes) and heaping salads (like pea shoots and crisped prosciutto). Read more

    This cheese cave in the Modern Wing keeps a bounty of artisanal cheeses at the perfect temp & humidity. After, head to the patio overlooking Millennium Park & the skyline. -- Green Guide Editor

    The shrimp cake is excellent, and even better if you add the lobster hollandaise.

    Big dissapointment. Ordered a salad and it was only washed greens with 3 pieces of watermelon and two crumbs of cheese. No lime vinegraitte sauce or any other touch that would justify 17$.
