Baptiste & Bottle

Worth it for the views alone. I visited with a friend and we sat at a table overlooking Michigan Ave. It was fantastic! We both tried the avocado toast, she added lobster to hers. That was one of the best things I did that weekend. The service was sweet and the wait was reasonable for that Saturday afternoon.

Went there for breakfast. The food was excellent. The service was not great. It took over 20 minutes for someone to take our order. The place seemed either under staffed or disorganized. The Nutella French toast was amazing and very rich. The bacon was crisp and had good flavor. The hash browns were great, although the square ones were better than the other potatoes.

The view from the 20th floor is beautiful of the Chicago skyline. The coffee is a wonderful blend that smells and tastes amazing. The omelet is huge and fluffy. The eggs Benedict are unique as the Hollandaise is whipped, light, and fresh with good lemon flavor without being overwhelming. The only thing that lacked was the service seemed to be short staffed and we had to wait quite a bit each time we needed our server.

This is a classy spot, perfect for after work drinks, date night, impressing a client or even a group. It's pretty quiet but offers great views. The service is a little slow in my opinion and that may be because there weren't many customers and staffing is adjusted accordingly. B&B offers a simple cocktail menu but an expansive Bourbon list. I will absolutely be back perhaps just to hang out but most definitely the next time I will try the food.

First of all let's start with the space! Absolutely beautiful! Cozy atmosphere with bubbling conversations all around. There is no obnoxious music playing in the background so you can hear your conversations and attune the rest of your senses to the glorious cocktails and whiskeys Baptiste has to offer. Second, the whiskey! Everything and anything you can imagine is on hand and the staff knows their stuff. They were incredibly knowledgeable and immediately attuned to our preferences and bent over backwards to satisfy. My husband and I both had a flight of whiskey which comes with identifying cards that you can take with you so you can purchase your favorites from your favorite spirits supplier. I had the most wonderful charcuterie plate which, paired perfectly with my whiskey. My husband ordered the lobster roll that was as wonderful to look at as it was to taste. The old fashions here are amazing definitely the best in the city. I also tried a whiskey smash which is bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, and mint... delicious and beautifully presented! I am so pleased to have stumbled upon this gem... do yourselves a favor and visit tonight!

I happened to be visiting Chicago on business during Chicago Restaurant Week. I was pleasantly surprised when a friend took me to Baptiste & Bottle for Sunday Brunch. Sitting on the 20th floor in the beautiful Conrad Hotel it was totally enjoyable! My friend had the chicken and waffles, I ordered the mac and cheese with mimosa's, it was FANTASTIC!

Baptiste and Bottle is high up downtown in the Conrad hotel. The view and decorations are beautiful. The food is always well portioned in that it’s not too much food and even the simplest dish like soup tastes like it was designed instead of simply “cooked”. As for drink selection, their whisky (especially bourbon) list is extensive and is a treat for those of us who imbibe.
