Haven't been here for a while because of a very bad experience in the past. Several years ago had dinner here and the waitress was terrible. We never received bread with our meal even though we asked for it several times, and observed all the other tables around us receive bread. The last time we asked for the bread, the waitress was belligerent and cursed us out. I don't even remember what we had for dinner, I do remember it being horribly over priced, but it was ruined for us. Yes, we did speak to the manager and he was talking to the waitress when we left, but, I don't think I will ever go back. #CityExperts @GoogleLocalCHI
here's an update:
Had a really bad experience with a waitress a few years ago here and I vowed to never go back here.
However, we were invited to a private party here and decided to check it out again.
The restaurant has both Booth seating as well as table seating, I would wait for a booth as they are larger and more comfortable.
We nibbled on a simple salad, mini burgers, chicken sandwiches, and sweet potatoe French fries. All were better than your average
Party food.
With prices such as $18 for a hamburger, or a chicken sandwich for $14 with a side or salad, prices are bit on the high side and there are lots of lower priced alternatives for food across the street on Michigan avenue.
They do have an extensive wine list, as well as cocktails from the bar at premium prices.
I think perhaps the best feature of this restaurant is the location. With gorgeous views of cloud gate (the bean), the ice skating rink (in winter) and our breathtaking Chicago skyline, it is well worth a visit for the views alone.
Horrible service. Alcohol was bad food was cold.

This was the rudest service in all of Chicago. While waiting for friends and seated at a table, we were told to move so they could prep for opening (understandable)
When I asked twice when they open to get food, I was ignored on top the disrespectful tone the man used

Park Grill was lovely. Outdoor dining in the shadow of the Bean. I had a salad and hubby had the Italian sausage and both were delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Couldn't have asked for more.

A good eating? joint but a small eating menu. Great for drinks, great location. Loved sitting under the Bean and having dinner. Good service, my fur baby was allowed too. That is a big big plus gor me. I liked my Chicken Sando, it was grilled to perfection.

Arianna was amazing and took great care of our large group! She was hands down the best server we have had in years. Our drinks were full, her personality was great and the food was amazing! I highly recommend the chop salad with steak. It was too large for me to finish and very reasonably priced. The All Day Froze drink was so perfect for the hot day and everyone in our group of 9 was delighted. I cannot remember such a good experience anywhere else. Go see Arianna and get the best service while visiting the Bean!

The service staff are absolutely wonderful, we were there for my moms birthday and they made her feel absolutely special. The drinks are really good, highly recommend the margarita if you’re a fan. The food was delicious. We had the Steak Frites which is a personal favorite. This was the first time I had the chicken, and it did not disappoint. They mention to allow 30 minutes for the chicken (you can’t rush perfection!)
The Apple Crisp is the Apple pie with ice cream dessert, and you can never go wrong with that. The chocolate cake is moist and recommend it if you’re a chocolate fan (who isn’t?)

Really great location. I was looking for a place to eat on Michigan Avenue and decided to settle for a patio near cloud gate. After looking at the menu for a second I saw exactly what I wanted and asked for a patio spot. Lovely location. Service was amazingly quick. Very nice location to eat outside. A must do! I got the bean burger which was really enjoyable. The only complaint is that there are only two single washrooms in the building. The lineup was quite long as well. Other than that, great place to grab lunch. Very reasonable prices with a nice set menu. Highly recommend!

Get Breanne, she is a great host. We had the 14oz New York Strip. And it was delicious! Clean and quiet place considering its next to Millennial Park. Oh... And the ice cream is also delish and generous portions!!!!! Kurt and Bobby

I enjoyed my 1st round drink " The Chicagoan". Well prepared and the taste was exceptional. ???? I also enjoyed my triple stack burger and fries (reminds me of McDonald's fries). Now I would've given this place 5 stars had my daughter not been served twice with a bug in her salad. We did stay and I ordered another round of the $12 Chicagoan which turned out to be watered down. For the most part, I can say that my waitress was very friendly and apologetic and she took my daughter's $15 meal off the bill.
